Be flexible

Video found on Hollywood Tuna. Unrelated, but yeah, be flexible anyway.

Possible LOST spoiler?

From io9:

There's a new press release for the final episode, which mostly just summarizes what's already happened. But this paragraph, summarizing the season so far, is interesting:

The final season has also introduced the concept of flash-sideways, portraying two parallel universes. The scenes on the island depict a universe where the bomb failed to detonate and the survivors remained, whereas the flash-sideways show a world where Oceanic 815 landed and the passengers never ended up living together. However, destiny appears to be drawing them together regardless as their lives end up colliding despite the reversal of history. Indeed, following a recent meeting with Charlie (Dominic Monaghan), Desmond (Henry Ian Cusick) starts to feel as if he has led another life before and plans to ‘awaken' the other passengers on Oceanic 815 – starting with crashing his car into Locke as he crosses the road.

Our first confirmation that the two universes are divided by whether the bomb went off? (I mean, it seemed sort of obvious, but it's never been stated.)

Familiar, yet not

Jeff, you could be this guy!

Despite the profusion of sharpened steel in my possession, I only have one Gerber knife, a single-edge, Blackie Collins Frisco Shiv. Perhaps this will fix it:

Not content to just let a knife be a knife, the Gerber AO F.A.S.T. 3.0 Knife ($75) has a few tricks up its sleeve. Its Forward Action Spring Technology ensures the serrated edge blade is open quickly when you need it, and it also packs a bottle opener, carabiner clip, and a modified drop point that eases use when your mission is spreading, not slicing.

Camaro drivers are teh dumb, or at the very least have poor reading comprehension and impulse control.

Sure, they might have meant "Monster Eight," but this 'Maro owner obviously didn't think through that another pronunciation is "menstruate" before filling out the DMV forms and plunking the results into their neato NASCAR Dale Earnhardt (possibly memorial) plate frames.

Plus, that "car" is the color of urine.

It's May 5 again, and if you haven't learned English yet, I have someplace interesting for you to visit.

Meanwhile, if cerveza and tequila aren't your thing, why not sip champagne when you're thirsty?

ZAP!

First, baseball is teh ghey. Second, for the enablers crying about how the kid wasn't hurting anyone and didn't deserve to be tazed (or that the tubbo rent-a-cop didn't want to chase anymore), I rebuke you.

You never see this nonsense at football games because Deacon Jones or his modern equivalent would turn this dummy into mechanically-separated paste. Just because a baseball player is physically incapable of the same beating doesn't mean it (or a tazing) shouldn't happen anyway.

Wait for it: 0:17...

Could this be reason enough for me to get a Blu-ray player? Could be...

While Seven Samurai is generally seen as his masterpiece, Akira Kurosawa's Yojimbo & Sanjuro ($65) are arguably the great director's most beloved. Anchored by Toshiro Mifune's iconic performances as Sanjuro, the samurai-turned-drifter, these movies were groundbreaking upon their releases in the early 1960s and remain as intriguing and entertaining today. As with all Criterion releases, both films have received all-new, fully restored high-definition digital transfers, and come packed to the gills with special features, commentaries, documentaries, and other media, making these the definitive releases of both films — until, of course, Blu-ray is replaced by 3D holographic digital cassette tapes.

Thumbs up, soldier! Two shots, two kills:

A British soldier dubbed the Silent Assassin has broken a distance record after taking down two targets from a mile and a half away.

Corporal of Horse Craig Harrison, a British Army sniper, killed two Taliban machine gunners in Afghanistan from a distance of 8,120 feet, Sky News reported.

"The first round hit a machine gunner in the stomach and killed him outright. He went straight down and didn't move," the 35-year-old said of the incident, which took place in November 2009.

"The second insurgent grabbed the weapon and turned as my second shot hit him in the side. He went down, too. They were both dead."

Harrison was nearly 3,000 feet beyond the effective range of his British-built L115A3 Long Range Rifle.

After a long pair of boozaholic Birthweekends, all I have is The Mine, Olivia Munn clinging to a chain, and the sweet release of death to look forward to.

I hate fucking backaches.
