Oh, I'll tell you what's up!

It's been a fun ride, but mining operations are scheduled to close July 18, 2011.

Thank you for visiting The Mine, and thank you to all ex-Fellow Mining Drones.

We are all ex-FMDs now.

We are all now free.

It's on the truck and headed in today. WHAT. UP?

And now, for something completely different…

…some Eurodrifters and their Hungarian strippers from Jalopnik (NSFW).

io9 is all mermaid stories today WTF? Oh, I see now. They're shilling for the new Pirates of the Caribbean. The one that's full of mermaids and FAIL!

Fucking marks.

CAUTION: Dell causes heroin addiction!

Why do I say that? 1) I have to chip away at granola in The Mine with one, and it's juuust about usable. 2) It'll get you hooked on the smack!

Needless to say, I am disappoint.

Monday again already? Ugh. Gotta kickstart this good to get the week going. Melissa Riso can tell you more herself:

Melissa Riso is an exotic ethnic background of Guamanian and Italian. As a Northern California native, Melissa grew up with her Father and older Sister in Salinas, California and has spent several hot Summers in Guam where her mother lives.

[....]

Everyone always asks her what that huge tattoo on her tummy is all about. Well when she was a freshman in high school, she almost died in a very serious car accident on the highway. She got internal bleeding in her tummy and broke her back. So they had to cut her open to stop the bleeding inside. She had a ugly six inch scar from the surgery and tried to get plastic surgery to fix it. But the scar was too thick and not healing nice. So she designed her own tattoo to cover the ugly scar that she was insecure about all throughout high school. She would never get a tattoo that big, but there is a story behind everything…

Found on F-listed.

Pardon the delay…

…but this was to be the 2nd entry of the day, destined for 8 AM but published at 8 PM.

A new Ore is discovered: Melissa Debling, another fine and busty Brit, found on Hollywood Tuna.

Happy Friday the 13th, you superstitious numerological heathen!

I'm having some defined misgivings about Iron Sky now. It's looking like it could be Inglorious Basterds pulp, or polished B-movie. From io9:

It's Thursday, and you know what that means...

That's right: LET YOUR SOUL GLO!

Grapple

Why, hello thar, Imogen Thomas! Let me know if you need a hand with those.

And this is what it'll be like: incredibly well-planned and intricate, but delicate, fragile, and ready to self-destruct when you need it most. Welcome to The Mine!

Childhood wish

Failblog calls this "Kid's [sic] Meal FAIL" but I'd have considered it "Kids Meal WIN!"

Kids these days are WAY better off and WAY luckier than they know!

Day 3 of making imaginary friends breaks; The Mine is once again a cave of sorrow and FAIL!

Jiggly Kate Upton will save us in our time of need. Thanks Hollywood Tuna!

Trading insanity

Jalopnik has the accurate take on this NSFW-language Youtube clip:

Most of you are probably sane, normal people capable of reacting normally to [encountering a police shootout]. But just in case here's a lot of things [these white dudebros] did wrong:

• Don't drive towards police officers with guns drawn
• Don't think that by crouching down you're safe
• Don't tell your friend to "chill"
• Don't listen to Pearl Jam when you might die
• When the police get in their cars, it's probably time to go
• Once you decide to move away don't stop again
• When the cops are hiding, you should be hiding
• Don't videotape yourself doing any of this

And there ends today's obvious lesson.

Oh, Pearl Jam-listening white folks, you so crazy!

Breakfast Granola for 5/9/11

This Monday is a day of newfound disappointment. To harmonize with our fresh bughunt comes the news that Holy Taco is no longer doing girl galleries. What to do? Definitely less visits to HT because — seriously — what the fuck is THAT bullshit? "We're a comedy site, so we're going to focus on that!" Pfft, fine. Never did like your ass any-godamn-way.

Meanwhile, digging never stops in The Mine; keep looking for ore where it exists. Thus, here's more Sophie Turner, courtesy of Hollywood Tuna.
