“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”

She must be from the Mexican part of Ireland The Irish certainly know how to do it: Whoa… who’s the redhead?!? And now a word from the greatest living Irishman: If Liam Neeson is telling you to “be very careful”, you might want to take him...

At least she’s a cheap date

Apparently, Faceborg COO and irritatingly smug feminist Sheryl Sandberg thinks that a man can get laid like tile as long as he actually sweeps the tiles: If we are to believe one of the world’s wealthiest feminists, the route to a man getting a rich and...

Gym Idiots: Dumbass Spotter Edition

by | Mar 14, 2015 | gym idiots, Uncategorized

Uh, miss, that’s very nice and all, but not quite what I had in mind… No Numbnuts Allowed So there I was in the gym yesterday, doing my weekly long workout whereby I do my damnedest to max out my numbers on all of the big three lifts. I’d just...

Guns and bacon

Apparently I’m not the only one crazy enough to think that the two go together very well: A competitive shooter satisfied both his appetites by wrapping his gun in bacon and using the heat generated when firing to cook and eat it.  Dustin Ellermann, a...

Sticking with the theme of taking a sledgehammer to some of Britain’s most beloved institutions, it would appear that one Mike Portnoy was on the receiving end of this country’s idea of “free and fair healthcare”: This is the reality of...

Space rock

Of the most badass kind: I saw MONSTER MAGNET play live as a warmup act for Iggy Pop over 10 years ago, at Download Donnington in 2004. They kicked ass. Dave Wyndorf is a truly great frontman (when he’s not stoned out of his gourd on mescaline, anyway). His...

Bring Back Clarkson!

I’d watch it. Over, and over, and over again. Just like I already do. I’m going to go out on a limb here and suggest that the BBC’s ideological purge of Jeremy Clarkson on what appears to be rather flimsy grounds is going to backfire in truly...

Hold them to a higher standard

Higher than, say, this AV8R/A.V. Yader/Whatshisname published a (very) long article over at Return of Kings today that had quite a lot to say about the virtues of selfishness and hedonism, in typically forthright fashion: If there’s one thing the loser has going for...

Let them get their faces punched in

What follows is even stupider than this It would appear that the Rowdy One thinks that she could take on the boys and win- or at least, she could if they are her size: UFC women’s bantamweight champion and all-around American badass Ronda Rousey said on ESPN’s...

Demographics is destiny

Literally: White children will be outnumbered by minority kids in the United States in just five years, new Census Bureau projections reveal.  This is the result of an ongoing trend of declining birth among white Americans and a baby boom among immigrant groups,...
