As my brother, discussing another ill-fated American war, said recently, “What risk can they pose to us? They don’t even have shoes.”

Fieri profiled a local barbecue joint on his program a few years ago, and insisted on spray-stenciling a picture of himself on the wall by the cash register. The staff were not impressed. Also, little doubt who were better cooks.

Don’t forget what Model Ts are best at: being Hucks starters:

Nope. The 650,00 excess deaths figure is the mid range of 393,000 to 943,000 with a 95% confidence interval. Thanks for playing.

Dude, you are taking the highest possible number, from probably biased sources, and then claiming that all other numbers are unreliable, as they are from biased sources. The fact is that we just don’t know how often guns are used to prevent crimes. You seem to think that people use guns defensively 40,000-72,000 times…

And a source for that would be lovely. . .

And roughly 200,000,000 uses of made-up statistics by gun advocates to support their position. . .

Uh, most helicopters are intrinsically unstable and require constant correction to keep upright and in stable flight. More so if they are hovering. Admittedly, some new ones have automatic stabilization systems, but still, bad idea, blinding the pilot. If he loses the ability to see and doesn’t have auto…

Ah, if they elected this idjit the Kiwis deserve this and more.

And the shortest person in the picture is. . .

I’m guessing that it’s this kind of access journalism that’s really preventing major sports news organizations from covering this effectively. In their minds, access to players/coaches/staffs == reporting, and they could lose that if they piss the wrong people off. Same thing that happened to news coverage during the…

I really feel that “Merry Christmas” could be a useful and expressive exclamation in bed. Just saying.

Fuck yes.

Yeah, because Europe has such lax gun laws

Hopefully! My powerplant exam is on the 23rd, and I need to get on the stick with job applications.

SPECIAL magnets!

Goddamit, I knew it! You’re not getting anywhere near my guinea pigs!

OK, I think I speak for everyone here when I say that you must sign this to prove your good intentions/basic humanity/that you’re not a lizard-person clone of Michelle Bachmann.

Yup. I couldn’t see the counterweights in the video, so I thought that particular prop had some alternate method of going to high pitch, but when I saw your response I looked up feathering props in my old Glencoe aircraft power plant book, and virtually all of them use counterweights in addition to spring force.…

Seriously, there needs to be some way to punish people who add shitty soundtracks to car or airplane videos that feature engine noise. Maybe Anonymous could be interested in making examples of a few of the fuckers until people stop doing it?
