My back hurts, I think I should go home early.

I'm sure sitting on the couch playing PS3 and drinking Captain Morgan straight should help with the back pain.

Never have I been on a conference call with so many people who have so little idea what they're talking about.  They make Bank of America look GREAT by comparison, which is saying a lot. :wacko:

After a bit of back & forth, it looks like Cincinnati will be getting a streetcar after all.  It was a borderline silly idea at first, but with the sunk cost plus additional work and cost to cancel the project, they might as well finish it now. 

Should be a fun toy.

You shouldn't post pictures of your own twins online, that's dangerous.  :P

After Nelson Mandela's death being announced during the première of Long Walk To Freedom and Ronnie Biggs dying the day the BBC is scheduled to broadcast its new Great Train Robbery drama, I'm officially putting my autobiographical production on hold.

Why does Keanu Reeves now get to pass as Japanese?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Apperently his dad is a mix of Native Hawiian, Chinese and various others. Guess the studio thought that was good enough. I wish we were actually getting a movie about the actual 47 Ronin though instead of whatever bullshit they're trying to sell.

While I agree that would be better, I am also interested in the project as it stands.  I'm: withholding judgment.

Some neat videos in there, including an Ontos in action.

Looks like the video got pulled.  I love me some Ontos, though.

Yeah, the rebel video is gone, but the others are worth it.
