Vintage Metallica Tribute band

This saturday, at one of the finest pubs in Delaware County, Disposable Heroes will be performing live for our listening pleasure. I have yet to see this band play, but I have been told by a friend at work that these guys are very good at what they do. The guy I work with is an old hammer, has seen Metallica live in their heyday, and currently drives a late 80's Firebird with T-Tops. If I can't trust a guy like him to give me good information about a metal band, who can I trust? FYI, they are playing at Tom&Jerry's, which is located in Ridley Park, home to the best Hammers in our region, and my buddy tells me it is not uncommon to see some of these guys/Hammers and gals/Nails show up in uniform.

I have a feeling this could be highly entertaining on all levels.

Who wants in?


ed. note: All their Metallica selections are from Kill Em All, Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets, and And Justice For All..., none of that new trash.
They also play a couple songs from Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Pantera, Slayer, Anthrax, etc...

Here's a new music blog I just found. It has a lot of metal and punk rock. There's some really good Clash live records and some good Iggy Pop.

Wii-tarded


AMAZING!
This guy turned his nintendo wii into the trippiest thing ever.
Why isnt all TV like this!?

He has some other videos where he turns the Wii into a whiteboard, and a fingertip-mouse type thing just like in that movie Minority Report. Its really awesome.

I bet he gets lots of chicks.

Four Score

If the Lincoln Presidential debates were run by ABC news:

LINCOLN: In my opinion, slavery will not cease, until a crisis shall have been reached and passed. "A house divided against itself cannot stand." I believe this government cannot endure permanently half slave and half free.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Excuse me, did an Elijah H. Johnson attend your church?

LINCOLN: When I was a boy in Illinois forty years ago, yes. I think he was a deacon.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Are you aware that he regularly called Kentucky “a land of swine and whores”?

LINCOLN: Sounds right -- his ex-wife was from Kentucky.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Why did you remain in the church after hearing those statements?

LINCOLN: I was eight.

DOUGLAS: This is an important question George -- it's an issue that certainly will be raised in the fall.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Do you denounce him?

LINCOLN: I’d like to get back to the divided house if I may.

Garfield minus Garfield

Who would have guessed that when you remove Garfield from the Garfield comic strips, the result is an even better comic about schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and the empty desperation of modern life? Friends, meet Jon Arbuckle. Let’s laugh and learn with him on a journey deep into the tortured mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against loneliness in a quiet American suburb.

Burrito Club


Burrito Club Tomorrow (Tuesday)7pm at Plaza Garibaldi. 935 Washington Ave.

BUSTER MARTIN


Buster Martin is one of them most amazing humans ever.

First of all, he is 101 years old. Keep that in mind while reading the list of his other accomplishments:

-Father of 17 children
-Englands oldest worker (He cleans vans)
-Refused to take the day off on his 100th birthday
-Last year he called in sick. His first time in 90 years.
-He is in a band called The Zimmers. They reached #28 on the UK singles chart in May with a cover of The Who's "My Generation". The combined age of the entire band is over 3,000 years old.
-Was on the local news in 2007 for fending off an attack by some youth. "I hit one in the groin and kicked another one".

But perhaps his greatest accomplishment was running in the 2008 London Marathon, finishing in just over 7 hours!
He ran his first marathon when he was 100 years old! His motivation was to show that old people could still do stuff.

The craziest part is his training routine. He doesnt drink water. Instead he goes to his local pub and drinks beer and smokes cigarettes. HE DRINKS 14 PINTS OF BEER AND SMOKES 14 CIGARETTES A DAY!!

For the grammar Nazi in all of us.

Car porn

You all know how I feel about BMW, but this advertisement is amazing.

There is no CGI, no computer tom-foolery. The advertising firm IdeaCity melded high-tech wizardry with old-school filmmaking to create an absolutely beautiful ad for BMW's new M3.

The edifice for the spot began with a tour of BMW's M facility in Munich, where the IdeaCity crew studied the inner workings of the M3's 4.0-liter V8. They had three complete engines shipped out to Belgium, where manifolds were cut, cylinders were shaved and lighting holes were drilled to mount special cameras, lenses and lights. After two weeks of intensive study and preparation, the team took another four, 20-hour days to film what happens inside the 420 hp mill during a single revolution. The completed spot was filmed at 10,000 frames-per-second and doesn't utilize any form of computer-generated effects.

If You Are Going To Murder Someone, Do It In Italy

Here's three lengthy excerpts from a great Wall Street Journal story about Italy letting its criminals out of jail:

ROME -- Less than two years ago, Italy's prison system faced a crisis: Built to hold 43,000 inmates, it was straining to contain more than 60,000.

So the government crafted an emergency plan. It swung open the prison doors and let more than a third of the inmates go free.

Within months, bank robberies jumped by 20%. Kidnappings and fraud also rose, as did computer crime, arson and purse-snatchings. The prison population, however, fell so much that for awhile Italy had more prison guards than prisoners to guard.

.....

Prison Infrastructure

The sorry state of Italy's prison infrastructure plays a role, too. Prosecutors have charged Salvatore Ferranti for being a henchman of one of Sicily's fiercest crime families. But last month he was released from the slammer and given house arrest. The reason: He was too fat. The prison system didn't have beds big enough to accommodate his 462-pound frame.

"The fact of the matter is that obesity is not compatible with prison," says Lino Buscemi, secretary of the Sicily region's Department of Prisoners' Rights in Palermo.

.....

Semi-Liberty Program

Cristoforo Piancone was one of the most fearsome members of the Red Brigades terrorist group which carried out numerous assassinations, kidnappings and robberies during the 1970s and '80s. Mr. Piancone was convicted of six murders and two attempted murders, and given the maximum prison sentence, according to police.

But in return for good behavior, he was placed in what is known as a "semi-liberty" program, which lets convicts leave jail during the day. So Mr. Piancone took a day job as a janitor in a school, according to police.

Last summer, flanked by an accomplice, he walked into a bank in Siena wearing a fisherman's hat and sunglasses and, armed with a pistol, held it up for €170,000, or about $267,000, according to police. He is back in prison, awaiting trial.

Neither Mr. Piancone nor a lawyer representing him could be reached for comment.

Prosecutors complain the deck is stacked against them. "Someone who commits bribery, insider trading, tax evasion, false bookkeeping, what have you, is pretty much guaranteed to go free," says Bruno Tinti, a prosecutor in Turin who wrote a book about Italy's justice system called "Toghe Rotte" or "Broken Robes." One chapter purports to outline a satirical step-by-step guide to killing your wife and mostly avoiding jail time.

Here's the logic: Once the deed is done, Mr. Tinti writes, immediately confess and provide the police with the weapon and the corpse. These steps mean that, under Italian law, there is no risk of flight or evidence-tampering, and therefore no need for pretrial custody.

Murder can carry a sentence of more than 20 years, but requesting a speedy trial automatically cuts that by a third. Arguing that your dead wife was cheating can be good for another third off. Eventually, the sentence can be reduced to 10 years -- at which point only four years will actually need to be served. (Recall that most people sentenced to six years or less don't serve the time due to community-service and other provisions.)

"This is the proof that court sentences are fiction," says Mr. Tinti.

Professor Balz

These are all quotes taken from RateMyProfessor dot com

"Favorite teacher. Gets really enthusiastic in class. Tends to ramble sometimes. Love when his class participates. Attendance isn't mandatory, but you will benefit from going. He's very goodlooking as well. I would deffinatley take a class with him again."

"good teacher, smart funny . makes class interesting. Read material and get an A. Its that simple"

"doesnt make you come to class but rewards those who do."

"Awesome young teacher, not too bad to look at either. Interesting lectures, and if you put in a semblance of effort you will do well. Highly reccommend him, gonna miss his class!"

"He was my absolute favorite teacher so far at Temple. He's extremely interesting and has this sort of cynical sarcasm about the world...but in a good way. He really makes you think and he loves when people participate. If you go to class and read the materials, the tests will be easy for you. He's very open-minded and laid back."

"I loved this teacher..I learned a lot and his lectures are sooo interesting..i'm still in his class my final is today and I wish I was still in his class. He talks alot and tends to ramble, but he loves when the class engages in his lectures. He really knows this stuff. I'm going to miss that teacher."

"He talks fast but, still makes sense. I like his teaching style and he's funny too. :P"

Public School Tales

One of my coworkers came into my room this morning and told me a funny story.

As soon as he walked in today the councilor told him that a parent and her social worker were there to see him. He goes into an office and the parent and the social worker introduce them selves. They tell him that they are there because so and so (I"m going to keep the child's name confidential.) has been complaining about what's been going on in my coworker's room. My coworker immediately asks if they are sure that they want him. They assure him that yes, they are here to talk about what's been happening in his room. To this my coworker replied that he doesn't know so and so. "He's never been in my class." The mother, the biological mother goes, "are you sure?" My coworker calmly replied that, "I think I would know, it's April!"

The mother and the social worker. They don't even know where the kid goes to school!

"Hello Doctors, today we are going to be removing the appendix of this very beautiful young woman, any comments?"
"Well, Doctor, I say we go in through the vagina."
"I second that"

Appendix Removed Through Vagina: U.S. First

Brannon John--Subway Vandal

I remember a time when Brannon was the butt of all jokes. His thick skin and unfortunate choice of friends--Ben, Gary--made him an easy target. That seems to have passed. He's just the Little Guy now. A wizened business executive that flosses with hundred dollar bills.

However, when he was just a grease monkey at Switch, he was once perusing a Girls of UD calender. He was unimpressed. He said of one young lady, "She's all...sucks...looking." A classic moment in the collective lives of every loser in Delaware. Well, it appears that Brannon is back at it, striking the "I Hate Sarah Marshall" posters in New York's subway, writing "Sarah Marshall is sucks!"

Luckily Brannon won't know I've outed him. He told me at his Christmas party, "I don't even know how to look at [the blog]."
