Big Hollywood : Green = Red: Life As a Real 'No Impact Man'

Sun, 29 Nov 2009 00:02:56 +0000

"Dude, I couldn't agree with you more, and I'm ready to help you get all this evil out of your life! Let's start with you CD's and your DVD's; they are all funded, produced, and distributed by corporations. Next we will work on the stereo; again, all produced and distributed (and, incidentally, researched by) corporations. We can then move on to the TV and DVD player, then your computer; that will make a nice start. Then, if we can find someone with an acetelyne torch we can move on to those mountain & street bikes that you are so proud of." And so on and so forth... I will probably never actually do it, but it's a lot of fun to think about.

Well said, Yervand... On a related note, I have a friend who will occasionally go off on a rant about how evil corporations are, how they are destroying the world, blahblahblah (all the usual crapola); he will do this even as we all sit there listening to music on his stereo and/or watching cable TV, drinking commercially-produced beer, eating commercially-produced food, etc; one of these days I think I will have to grab his big, heavy, 'barbarian sword' hanging on one of the ceiling beams, and start a little tirade:

Notice they don't enlighten us at to who, exactly, these "independent statistics experts" are; also notice the spin that "They (skeptics) say that since then, temperatures have fallen—thus, a cooling trend.". That's not the case. The argument is not that the we have had a cooling trend, but rather that temps have plateaued since 1998, even as the levels of CO2 in the atmosphere have increased,; and this is just as important, because according to the GHG model the temp should be rising as the CO2 level rises. I wonder if this isn't in response to that BBC story two weeks ago where they finally admitted that the science isn't really settled yet... talk about Hell freezing over!

Big Hollywood : Lee Marvin: That Glorious Bastard

Wed, 5 Aug 2009 01:28:54 +0000

And speaking of back up... Woody Strode co-starred with Marvin in 'The Professionals' , along with Robert Ryan and Burt Lancaster. And, as long as we are at it, we also have Jack Palance, Claudia Cardinale, and, finally, Ralph Bellamy. Y'know, the more I think about it, the more I think it is time to put that flick in my Netflix q....

My apologies if someone mentioned it already (at work, no time to read though the posts thoroughly), but another great Lee Marvin flick is 1966's 'The Professionals' I also wanted to mention a quote of his that I saw in a gun magazine bio of him a few years ago: "For me, pretending to be someone else is strictly a matter of business; but it is a business that I love and respect."

"If they want to come over to the White House and go over line by line what's going on, I will be happy to do that," he said. " Done & done, Mr. President! I want to see the Republicans and the Blue Dog Dems do exactly that; go over there and sit down with Barry and go over that sucker line by line. And I don't care how long it takes; if we, the taxpayers, are going to be expected to shell out a trillion or more dollars for this bill I want us all to know exactly what we are getting for our money...

As I recall, according to a former VC officer interviewed for the History Channel's History of the Vietnam War, he and the few surviving members of the VC leadership harbor a strong suspicion that a secret objective of Hanoi's with the Tet offensive was to elminate the southern leadership and replace it with their own people; the reason for this was because the VC wanted to establish a separate communist regime in the South, while Hanoi wanted to establish a single communist state...

Sorry, Bohemond, but that is a pre-WW2 Finnish Lahti 20mm semi-automatic anti-tank rifle; notice the little skis? Those were to make it easier to drag around in the snow. I have some old Guns & Ammo magazines from the early 60's; they used to sell those (in the the pre-GCA '68 days) for about $100 or so; I forget what the ammo went for....

Oh, fer crying out loud... of course change is always possible. The real question is: How likely is real, substantiative change??? And in this case, it looks like it really doesn't matter who wins....
