Or a dragon.

* Add a comma between "bacon" and "sausage". Although sausage made out of bacon would be pretty awesome.

How is it that the Brits managed to come up with the manliest breakfast in the world? Eggs, bacon sausage, black pudding, and hell, they even fry the vegetable, just for shits 'n' giggles. Full English breakfast, FTW.

Hammer Time!
Can't touch this. And by this, I mean my sazerac fueled buzz. Sorry, but as lame as this cereal and its attendant Facebook page/Twitter feed may be, my buzz remains intact. Hoorah for rye!

In fact, TWfS, thinking makes it very difficult to adhere to the party platform of either of the two major political parties in the U.S.

How about getting a girlfriend/wife who has enough taste that she doesn't want to see crap like this?

Harbinger: That's a great point about his ability to tell both the epic and the intimate stories equally well. Compare Stray Dog with Ran; the scope of the stories is vastly different, but they both work really well.

I've got that Ford at Fox boxed set, and the ones I've watched have been great, but I'll admit the thing is a little daunting. It just sits there being massive and taunting me, daring me to watch good films. Then I usually put in some crap like Ultraviolet that I got from Netflix because it's easier than paying…

Seven Samurai
Throne of Blood
Stray Dog
Rashomon
Yojimbo
Sanjuro
Ikiru
Ran

@ Janet: I love it when I can see Kurosawa on the big screen. A friend and I caught a Yojimbo/Sanjuro double feature at Film Forum in NYC a couple of years ago. Awesome! I haven't seen High and Low yet, but will try to get to it soon.

@mmy: Many kids require many eyes; hire Argus to baby sit.

A great article about a fascinating investigation. For a while there in the late-90s, it seemed like a price-fixing conspiracy turned up in a new industry every few months, and there were some colossal fines. Haven't heard so much about that in the last decade. That means we must have fixed the problem, right?

Kurosawa actually deserves a Primer, not a Gateways.

WTF? I'm only three shots into the day, why am I seeing double already?

The important question
What kind of rum? If we're talking white Bacardi, count me out, but if it's a nice aged rum or a Martinique rhum agricole or some other quality beverage, I'm there.

@ DNTWillie, I sail a lot and we use those terms for boats, too. (Your link will confirm this if you scroll past the first entry.)

Damning with faint praise, are we, Rockrocky?

Give it a rest
1) Fuck the FCC (wait, am I allowed to say that?)
