Guns, Knives, Hammers and Bricks*

Does remind me of that story about co-sleeping, actually.

This made me think of some of the crazy state laws on switchblades, enacted after a scare from 50’s greaser movies or something, I think. Also, a few laws exist on nunchucks, which sorry, I thought was pretty absurd.

Also, in that little amnesty bit, I’d love to see ’em above the border start collecting sgian dubhs! You get that close to my hose and I’d assume you’re trying to peek up my kilt.

I am for knives over guns though. It takes more balls to get into a knife-fight. Not to say shooting someone won’t haunt you, assuming you’re not a psychopath, but toughs wielding a blade are less likely to be lethal.

I think this beats it on the cold-blooded scale:

I don’t know if you could accuse Seymour Hoffman of not putting in a good performance, except in comparison to his other roles. An unfair standard he’s set up for himself.

Vote Now for PlanetPOV’s Top Posts of 2009!

I was determined to help give you the highest rated comment ever, as well. πŸ™‚

It’s the ‘thumbs up’ and the more the ‘stars’ you see under a post (and your comment there). That’s different than this. πŸ˜‰

That was hard, and I ended up drifting into a bunch of great articles I’d missed! Thing is, I don’t know how I missed most of them!

This was great as a retrospective, as well.

Well, I wish I could have voted for you all, but I tried to do my best.

Here’s to another great year of content!

Obama and The Google

As long as we’re doing story’s we don’t know where to stick:

Strategic Leaking by Gary Sick – on the GOP attacks on Obama, and what he needs to do with his Iran policy. It is, quite simply, brilliant.

Edit: can an admin move this to the new OT thread, minus this request, if possible?

More wishful thinking. Sounds like a great Colbert segment. πŸ˜‰

Greetings, Jan.

Should be Colbert, “better knowing” the Cabinet… πŸ™‚

Famous Movie Quotes

Patsy and Edina!!!

I liked this one, too:

This was my guilty pleasure, though it totally jumped the shark and I didn’t quite perk up anymore after the immaculate hawtness that is Lucy Griffiths left:

Yeah, saw the Hornblower series all the way through, as well.

Totally.

Reminds me of this movie:

Indeed.

How on earth did that slip my mind?! Excellent!!! I was trying to find something from Clockwork Orange, myself.

Anyone ready for famous cheese?

The popularity of this character knows few bounds (for good or ill):

Was a good call on Indy. Unfortunately the one I always think of with the sword guy then the gun isn’t really dialog.

Matrix is chock full.

I hate these things in a way, ’cause all of a sudden I’m thinking up Life of Brian or 12 Angry Men, or trying to remember something super profound and I just blow a fuse.

One defining scene that resonates with me personally:

I have all Boondocks on DVD. Was trying to find a quick Moral Orel to go with the Adult Swim theme there, nothing doing. How’s this for the Wall Street angle? (embedding disabled, so ya gotta click away)

My elitist submission:

And, on a light note (some have already seen this, but I still think it’s a hoot):

Oh yeah, only like one of these was ‘famous’, forgiven?

The Infantilization of America

Perhaps. Otherwise, personally, I would have thought it was a way to lighten the mood, slightly. There’s also that – and I am so far out of the know on this it isn’t funny – but I’ve gleamed this from other discussions — this attitude that say one must always stay positive all the time never even joking about such things, never giving up… I don’t know, maybe it was that, as well?

Yeah, here in Arizona we do D

No, but I see where you were going with that.

Amen. And people say I’m morbid. I just think you nailed it. It’s the duality of it all. I don’t know what it is about the treacly American bastardized culture, but in (forgive me here) “old world” cultures, death plays an important part in life.

I have a fear of needles (and blood), but was hooked up once, no biggie. Pop and it’s done, don’t even feel it, really.

Wow, I was getting a little sensitive, ’cause you guys are talking about the younger generations, but honestly, that’s ridiculous.

» Posted By Khirad On January 2, 2010 @ 8:42 pm

Add Ray Bradbury and that would have been the trifecta.

» Posted By Khirad On January 2, 2010 @ 8:27 pm

Really? Is that the thing in your hand (forgive me for not knowing anatomy)? The pop and its done thing?

I’ve never gotten that about Japanese culture. Sad when the local news starts resembling this:

I wouldn’t have found them if it weren’t for the comments leading me there. Some are far more intrepid than I!

» Posted By Khirad On January 2, 2010 @ 2:35 pm

Should be automatic. I don’t know what to say. Try editing tags? I wouldn’t know what to change, though.

» Posted By Khirad On January 2, 2010 @ 2:32 pm

So, um, ‘twould seem we have at least two new articles not on the front page.

What’s up with that? just me?
