Mystery Science Theater was the king of obscure references and I loved it. If i got 1/2 of their references i felt smart. the rest i looked up or was ok with not getting. it made re-watching them even better.

and this is why i quit watching the news. i can't do anything to stop this ass hole, but i have to hear him if i listen. tuned out and happy about it. thanks for the reminder.

I like MMA. the guys hit each other all the time. If they could, they would hit each other in other sports, but hey are not allowed.

i am definitively laughing with him, up-vote!

i have seen few comics able to deal with a rowdy, shouting crowd this well, let alone a doctorate in science. He rocks.

instead of selectively finding a list of movies that fail, i would like to see a random selection or a specific selection of top movies (top rated, top money makers, AFI top 100, etc..). What's the pass / fail ratio?

if you go looking for guy movies about guys, then you can find them. If i went digging to try and prove movies mainly contained smart, strong women and stupid guys that leach off of them, i could also find a list.

Point is, there are a lot of movies and you can find all kinds of crazy patterns when you have that much data. SO, while it is interesting to note and sexism in Hollywood is a problem, this list really proves nothing.

also, LOTR passes because several women talked about their impending deaths at helms deep. There were also MANY named women.

i also like cold steel. i have the combat shovel and love it (for camping, not combat). However, the promo guys are nuts and this thing is essentially a floppy stick.

holding the pants up got the up-vote from me.

actually, i have seen something like this. i was in a similar hailstorm in Wichita KS in the early 90's. nature does not want people living in the mid west and i, for one, listened and moved!

the bit about the kid maybe being dead but you need to finish the movie is true. when kids wake up and cry, it sucks. when they don't wake up and cry, it's almost as bad, sometimes worse because of those thoughts. at some point i bet most parents have thought or said the same thing his wife did. to non parents it seems awful, but to parents, it's just something you have to deal with. very funny stuff!

seriously, i dare you to down vote this. I just don't think it could be done.

You split firewood with a shovel? You know they actually invented a tool for that job... Like 25,000 years ago.


i have a hatchet and a wood maul too. But, those are heavy and only do the one job, which is not ideal for camping. The shovel is light, has a holder and does many jobs. It's also thinner and sharper than a hatchet so it's much better for splitting a large piece down to kindling (not as good as a machete, but better than a hatchet). I will say, on the negative side, it does have a tendency to bind up in a log if it is too long where a hatchet would split the log.

after seeing the posts recently about the cold steel guys chopping up stuff with swords, i felt obliged to add this. I actual have one of these shovels and i love it! I use it for camping where it comes in handy as a shovel (duh) a hatchet, machete, fire tool, hammer and a few other odds and ends. It's a very well designed thing.

Having said all that, the guys at cold steel are still a bit ridiculous with their demos. I guess it's good to know they take their stuff VERY serious.

well, duh! I knew this all along, but i wanted to see if they knew it too so i didn't tell them about all the science and stuff i did to figure it out.
