Would there be room for people as cynical as us amongst you warm-hearted individuals?

WWE SMACK DOWN - From the Schoolyard
2011-03-15 15:13:54
So I'm generally against all types of violence... but sometimes they just cross the line. And admittedly, I don't have the complete back story here, but honestly, you really don't need more than this video to figure out who's right and who's wrong and who deserved to eat concrete.
Thus I just love this totally breathtaking thrashing of a school bully that occurred in this unremarkable hallway in this insignificant American middle school in what I assume is the Deep South.
Me, I remember my grammar skools days and the bullying that I endured for years, mostly because I was smart and different and didn't stand up for myself. And while I remember very few of my classmates, I still remember Mark and Todd and our (at least from my point of view) epic show down in the fourth grade.
Like our hero here, Casey, I was bigger than Mark. But, sadly, I didn't have Casey's years of watching the WWE, so I didn't know how to do it with STYLE. Nor did I have the foresight to time travel to the future and procure a cellphone with a video camera so that the entire world could witness this takedown of takedowns.
Because Casey, my man... you got style that even the great Hulk Hogan would acknowledge.
Sadly and apparently, his brain dead principal suspended Casey... why? Because we have stupid principals, that's why. Whatever, Casey isn't going to be bullied again and honestly, who gives a shit what your middle school GPA is.
Further, and what really makes me go all LOL, is the post fight stumble of our bully. Absolute classic.

John Dvorak has passed. I’m of mixed emotions. First off I’m more positive about his contribution to the overall technology journalism of the early PC days through the 90s, despite how many things he got wrong. He was a firebrand and commanded attention. (More...)

The parents of a Texas girl who died from the measles are defending their decision not to vaccinate their daughter. "She says they would still say 'Don't do the shots,'" an unidentified translator for the parents said. "They think it’s not as bad as the media is making it out to be." (More...)

About 14 years ago when I was on a road trip and stopped in Seattle, I was invited to a party. At this party there were these little tiny glasses sitting in a flat-bottomed bowl of ice. Thin cylinders about an inch in diameter and 4 inches tall, with thick glass at the bottom. Into these were poured frozen AKVAVIT... also known as the water of life. (More...)

Well, dear reader, there's no denying it: Spring has sprung. The air is pungent with the fertile aroma of Romance. And you know what goes with Romance, don't you? That's right, Lover, porn. And not just any porn, but the kind you can sing along to. (More...)
It’s election night. My wife and I are holed-up in this hotel that my political party has rented out for the evening. Outside, people are being violently beaten for whom they voted for. Is this South Africa? Perhaps we’re in Haiti or some Southern state during the 60’s. Of all the places where this sort of thing happens, it’s mind-boggling that we are in Portland, Maine. (More...)

The Deep Dark Underbelly of the Star Wars Myth, or Ramayana Remembered
It's a fact: Star Wars is a blatant plagiarism of an ancient Asian legend, and the long lines of devout Star Wars freaks are really unscrupulous Asian copyright busters. From Indonesia to Thailand to Nepal, videos are available for sale or rent before they're even released in the US and UK due to this nerdy camcorder-clutching bunch. (More...)
