... am I the only one who thought these guys were gay?

I have a nasty feeling these are metrosexuals. Might be gay - might be straight. Don't matter either way - give them 3 chillies and they act like bitches on heat (I mean the dogs).


Yeah, I didn't get any particular vibe...but I suspect even a threat of pepper spray would settle them right down.

Too bad it doesn't cause infertility. Then we could improve the species -and- get our entertainment at the same time.

Everyone? No. Men who think that they are the center of universe (and the women who agree with them)? Probably.

Here's something.... Open your mind just a tad little bit. Let in a new thought. Test it out. See if something might change if you took a moment to change your perspective.

For folks out there who call women "girls", please note the use of the word "men" in the beginning of this vid, and store it away for the future.

This is why everyone hates feminists.

To ChaosEngine: I'm unimpressed by ad populum arguments (that because it's popular, it must therefore be true, or good, or whatever). It's a logical fallacy and I don't dig fallacies so much. Also, regarding the case for the value of terse storytelling: well done sir! If only Ebert and I were arguing against terse storytelling, you'd really have us against the ropes. You dropped some straw, man.
I was pointing out that the film has received plenty of critical acclaim. Ebert is welcome to his (increasingly irrelevant) opinion, but my opinion is that he's wrong and I stand by it. I'm not alone either.
My point about Hemingways story wasn't about terseness, it was about inference. There are aspects to The Raids storyline that aren't written down in the script. And even then it wasn't a direct rebuttal to anything Ebert (or you) said, merely a point about how I felt the movie was made. But go ahead and assume everything is related to you.
You don't have to like the Raid, and you're welcome to go watch some tedious pseudo-intellectual bullshit for a few hours if it strokes your ego, but comparing it to "Ass" in Idiocracy is, as @Sarzy pointed out (and somewhat ironically) idiocy.
Sorry for sounding like a condescending prick, but you work to your audience. At least I can actually form my own opinion rather than regurgitate someone else's.


Not directed at me? So you'd have posted what you did even if I never made that first post, is that right? Very good then. So long as we're free to infer what we like to any film bereft of story, I'd like to infer a compelling yarn into the multiple award-winning (and fictional) film called Ass.

In Ass, our protagonist is a subject in a medical trial testing an anti-flagellant. It's a closed study so all the test subjects are sequestered. Despite this, our hero smuggles in some chilli for supper the night before. The twist? He's in the placebo group.

Now wasn't Ass a great film? I see your point now. Well-done again!

Most impressive about this post is that I did it on an iPhone.

Enjoy your day!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pimento , Pimento is a sweet chilli pepper.

That fantastically perfect little fold dictates to me that it is done with a machine, I doubt companies that produce millions of jars have people doing it by hand. I would bet this video depicts what goes on at a "mom and pop" style of shop.

Anymore leg work I can do for ya just ask.
In reply to this comment by messenger:
Problem 1: I still don't know how they get that perfectly cut and folded pimento in, nor what the hell a pimento is anyway. Waste of my 5:35.

Problem 2: This whole show is just, "There's a machine that does this, there's a machine that does that, it does xxx per minute. Humans still do this job." There's no narrative. This one about saxaphones from Sesame Street has a much better narration. It gets you interested. I still remember it from when I was a kid.

Could we please have a generation of tweens that are not stupid, just one, is that to too much to ask for.
Well, I expect tweens to be kinda stupid but I've been kidding myself about the average Videosifter's ability to write correctly, which is, I believe, symptomatic of intelligence. Oh well.

I was curious to see if you ever made a mistake while writing English.
Took 30 seconds to find this gem.

I'd just like to say that I have no opinion about this video. I am apathetic like you read about.



LOL! That's what I get for trying to use an idiom, a very new idiom, granted, but an idiom nonetheless. Some idioms only work when you say them aloud and this is one of them.

I'm going to come off as a bit nutty typing this all out but nutty is a label I'm ok with.

When people say "like you read about" they're being emphatic and pointed. For instance, I might say, "I'm fuckin' cold like you read about." People who've taken the time to write books and articles about tundra wasteland and life above the arctic circle typically don't spend that time on the page writing about how warm it is. When someone takes the time to read such a book or article, they walk away knowing something about chilly weather. It typically only works with extreme states: extreme cold, extreme heat, or in my case extreme apathy. So what I'm really saying with "like you read about" is an attempt to express solidarity with the writer of such books/articles.

Capice? I'm not surprised you may not have heard about it but all these sayings had to come from somewhere, no?

Without context, I admit, it reads kind of wrong. Oh well. I forgive you, Boise.

@SDGundamX said: Hitchens' confrontational debating strategy often involves not just making a point but also ridiculing his opponents' ideologies/beliefs while doing so, so I don't suppose I should expect better behavior from his most ardent fans.

FTFY

Also, we celebrate the deaths of soldiers with 21-gun salutes, and yet guns kill people too. What a senseless, heartless military tradition for paying homage!! I find it hard to believe that you, SDGundamX, would actually take shiny's pathetic evangelical opportunism seriously. So toasting to someone's health is all of a sudden some big insult? Wow, I wonder how your wedding went... (<--sarcasm)
If Hitchens were a chronic smoker it would be a bit weirder to "light one up" since that is not a cultural tradition, as toasting is. Even then, as a non-drinker I raise my glass of Yogi tea (I kid you not) to one of the most eloquent supporters of reason, and would light up a sparkler were he a chain-smoker. Here's to you, Hitchens.

2 words... Naga Ghost


Oh man, I picked up a bottle of Naga hot sauce made from Bhut Jolokia at the weekend, rated at over 1,000,000 on the Scoville scale, but I haven't plucked up the courage to try it yet...
http://www.hot-headz.com/chilli-sauce/naga-chilli-sauce/hot-headz-bhut-jolokia-naga-chilli-sauce/

If you cook them in oil, then remove them from the pan before putting in your onion and other ingredients, they should give a bit of a kick to a dish without making it completely inedibly hot (with normal dried chillies you need to put two or three, and cook them for a few minutes to get a really mild chilli effect, so start with a smallish one and a shorter duration).

This video got kinda surreal.
I've got a bag of these (www.myspicesage.com). I don't really care for spicy (hot) food and certainly don't understand the whole hot pepper pain machismo thing. I ordered them on a goof and tried just one small flake (they're dried) on my tongue. That was plenty to sate my curiosity forever, and now they've been sitting in a cupboard in their ziplock bag for over a year. I've given some to friends who wanted to try them in food, but other than that, it's not exactly an item you (read:I) could go through a lot of quickly.
