Don't sleep with those guys

No, mayes and I didn't make this.

Inmate tattooed with "Katie's Revenge" on his forehead. Katie would be the girl he abducted, molested, and killed. Includes pic, which is worth the click alone. Filed under Art.

Trailer for 'Deliver Us from Evil' It's about Catholic priests who are also pedophiles. Focuses on one in particular. It's hard for me to believe that more of these guys haven't been straight up killed vigilante-style. But I guess that's what the Church teaches.

Network was made 30 years ago and might even be more true today.

This PSA brought to you by Polega.

This is from decker: Third school shooting within a week. This killer, like the one in CO, was an adult who singled out girls as victims. He apparently claimed that it was revenge for something that happened 20 years ago. It was also at an Amish school. By a milkman.

Here are some details about the CO one.

And here's the one in Wisconsin.

Pretty disturbing trend.

Glad I called that guy? -ed.

Audi R8 cutaways. I love this stuff. Perhaps you do too.

What's that? Not familiar with the R8? Have a look.

I think I'd still rather have a Gallardo, but this would do in a pinch.

On a side note, Road and Track took a Grand Cherokee SRT8 0-60 in 4.6. Goo.

The Florida page-seducing Congressman is hurting his entire party. When I first heard about this, I just figured the dude would resign, maybe get tried, maybe go to jail and that would be that. Perhaps people are voting based on the alleged cover ups or something. Anyone offer prospective?

Update Apparently not paying attention to the whole thing is not so clever. Here's one perspective. If half of what this guy says is true, that's not good. LGF reports the emails are altered (?) because one version has apostrophes and elipses and one doesn't. Not sure punctuation counts when soliciting under-age people for sex, but who knows?

Update II Wil Wheaton sums it up well a couple paragraphs in. He's got a nice little blog, btw. Worth throwing it on the RSS reader.

A few weeks ago a Boeing 737-800 hit an Embraer Legacy 600 in mid-air and crashed, with the Embraer landing safely. Just read.

Philippe sent this along just after it happened, but the link was mangled. There's now more at Wikipedia. -ed.

Draw stuff in under 4 seconds.

Uh, yea. This is just plain hard. Don't even think about clicking through if you're using a track pad or nub.

From bw: The perfect utensil for my new diet:

For breakfast I will start off with a a scrambled S4 with a side of Caymen..why not make it an S. For lunch I'll have anything AMG has to offer. By mid afternoon I'll be ready to pick my teeth with a Viper or Z06. So for an evening delight I'll indulge myself with an Italian dish...say some F430 or Gallardo with a second helping from the rice burner.

This might be the greatest write-up ever submitted to the site. -ed

beer on fire

No one claimed this one, but they probably didn't want to.

From Angry ab: Yeah, I caught FAT when I went to Haiti. I'm addicted to stuffing my fat face in order to make my FAT ass even Fatter so I can spill my fatness into the airline seat next to me and, oh by the way, my mobility is so restricted that I can no longer wash my Fat-Ass self so on top of being FAT, I stink. Get addicted to a treadmill chubby!

This one's from sexual chocolate: "It's quite simple really. You post pictures of you, your friends, or of people you don't really like (it doesn't matter).. We the people will then tell you how drunk we'd have to be before we think he/she/they are hot enough to have sex with.."

Nick and Aaron Carter at home.

Cat Bowling From naj.

Percentage of income going to housing rises. Again.

Not sure why they count Boulder and College Station, but the rest of the article is pretty sobering.

Daily Show on the Foley issue

You may have noticed that the Spam issue has gotten completely out of hand. Sorry about that. In an effort to combat it, I enabled Spam deletion for any user on the site. So do me a favor - if you see some spam in the comments, click through to the page with the story and the comments on it (the link that's the title of the story) and hit the [Spam] button next to the comment. It's sort of a pain in the ass, but I don't have time to do anything better at the moment.

CMU is FAT

From shoof: This article on the healthiest colleges has put CMU on "academic probation" for its lack of healthy food, exercise, etc. Since I did not attend, place your own fat jokes here:

The rest of the good list and the bad list.

From boot: Sienna Miller, filming a movie in da'burgh, disses it

Shouldn't she be wrecking Jude Law's marriage or having him cheat on her or something? And is funky a new synonym for 'small and overpriced'? I have no idea why I take offense to her bullshit, but I do. It's a strange, strange world. It's sort of like "You can't hit my kids. Only I can hit my kids." -ed

The Gong Show was ahead of its time. From brick.

Huge thanks to Sarah and Tony's families for being excellent hosts.

This has been entertaining me while I've been in the factory in China for the past week.

Enjoy...

I'm fairly certain I posted this before, but it seemed worth a repost. -ed

Space shooter Use the mouse, fire with left button. This was over on Fark.

Dell acquisition Alienware sponsors LAN Parties

This one's from boot, who adds One thing i can assure you is that there was no scoring going on.

Never seen this website before, huh? Tom Wood is apparently doing a presentation for the general public on the history of Buggy this weekend, details are there.

I filed this under cars because hendrix was not diligent in creating proper categories.

Blender Magazine contributor is forced to listen to We Built This City for 24 hours straight...

Cock and Balls -ed.

Interview with Jason Lee You may recognize him from such films as Mallrats. But now he's on My Name is Earl, which is one of the best shows on TV. Highly recommended. Season 1 is on DVD now.

NES Quiz I found this to be rather... elementary. But it's a nice little diversion.

High BMI Tied To Poor Cognitive Function In Middle-Aged Adults

What happens when you get rid of Habeas Corpus? Keith Olbermann explains.

Gabe from Penny Arcade inks a sketch To me art is similar to music in that they are both indistinguishable from alchemy. That is to say I am amazed that either one exists at all. I wish I could take a video of me doing my job, but something tells me no one wants to see my mad Powerpoint skillz. And they are mad, rest assured. Sperl alerted me to this little piece of awesome.

Coach gets jailed for paying a player to bean an autistic kid This one's from Jay Park and follows up on the original posting.

From oof: England has followed up their lacklustre World Cup performance with even more hilarity as they lost yesterday to Croatis 2 - 0. It is the last goal that is really special. Be sure to watch to the end to see the different angles.

Nice use of the english spelling of lackluster, you filthy limey. To quote Google - Did you mean: lackluster? News story about Robinson getting shivved outside a bar in 3...2...1... -ed.

New browser available for Debian: Iceweasel

First, the name is a tremendous takeoff on Firefox. B, click through to check out one of the sample icons. That is all. No need to digest the nerd speak found in the link.

From ab: Ok, who let a guy that drives a '91 Miata in the basement? Can I have his plate when he turns it in?

Aberdeen rules. -ed

Reaction Time Trainer from Brick, who adds I tried it 5X, and the best I could muster was a .195.

From jm, and he's an addict: U.S. full of internet addicts. In a related news story, dudes heart porn. I like how an addict is classified as 30 or more hours a week of non essential usage. I believe, as the ancient romans used to say, we are all fucked.

I consider bhendrix.com essential. -ed.

Also -- this is a repost, but here's the total list of MP3s.

From Shek: Sports guy goes through his email bag again....

My personal favorite:

Q: Is it possible that George Bush is the white Art Shell? Mismanages a defense, has no idea what the hell is going on half the time, and is in wayyy over his head. Think about it, on 9/11, when he sat there at the school for like 5 minutes after finding out what happened, staring out into space thinking about which Happy Meal he was going to get later, that's Art Shell every week on the sidelines! Whether you're for or against Bush, this is funny. --Lanire S., Philadelphia

SG: (Afraid to say anything ...)

25 good rules to help with money None of them are terribly in depth, but they seem like good guidelines. (Except for the house calculator. Not sure what's up with that.)

Steve Wynn puts his elbow through a Picasso and manages to keep the story quiet for about a week. This one's from Marissa. It was marked NSFW, but I think that was only if you work in an art gallery.

From decker: Jeff Skilling is sentenced to 24 years and 4 months in jail. I find the video of his response the sentencing to be very funny for some reason. It's like he's tired of lying about his innocence.

Also, note to ed - I would've filed it under douche baggery, but the category does not exist yet...

This makes me so freakin' happy. Go watch "Smartest Guys in the Room" if you haven't already. - ed.

Fellow party people, this is a public service announcement:It is a bad idea to throw a beer keg into a fire.

You can all thank Brick for this potentially life-saving bit of advice. -ed.

Read about their little experiment that violated FAA regulations and endangered the lives of thousands of passengers. From Brick.

Rush says Michael J Fox either went off his meds or was acting during an ad for a candidate. I guess he has to fill his hours on the air with something, but claiming a dude with Parkinson's is faking for political gain is about as low as you can go.

I'll stay above the fray by not mentioning the fact that Limbaugh is a hypocritical drug addict who's not in jail only because he's famous. Or not. RIH, Rush, RIH.

Cara sends word that they're filming another movie on CMU's campus. No word on what Arjen will do to the trucks this time. Uh-oh.

worst costumes ideas from Leon. Not the professional.

From ryan: Ladies and Gentlemen, your 2008 Stanley cup champions, the Hamilton Penguins.

seriously... wtf?

This question of the day brought to you by Jay Park and the letter 'L'.

trying to outrun a roadblock might not be the best course of action.

Also from mr. Park.

From Brick.

The baseball expectancy predictor I guess it uses past game data from about 20 years' history to predict how things will end. Neat-o.

From decker: You can now become a bank at Prosper.com. People post needs for loans, and others bid to supply them. Finally, Mayes can find a lender to start that S&M themed daycare he's always talking about...

This one is filed under Douche Baggery, as all of my future post will be.

I'd like to remind all future posters that abuse of the DB category, much like unchecked aggression, will not stand. -ed.

From Jay Park: indian dude gets busted for cheating on his wife over the radio. headphones are recommended, even though the language is censored.

NYC Cab price hike

bw sends this news from Burlington, where there are no cabs.

Brick sent this: From what I've heard, this is very close to the infamous Panama City Spring Break '98 trip.... only substitute the chick with a dude.

Wooo! -ed.

From derek: Trailer up for Farce of the Penguins with Tracy Morgan, Dane Cook, Gilbert Godfried, Norm MacDonald, Lewis Black, the less dead and less funny Belushi, and all the dads from Full House. As narrated by Samuel L. Jackson.

This looks pretty dumb. The NSFW applies to the unrated version. -ed.

I dressed up as a douche bag for Halloween. Please rest assured that the visor is not only on backwards, but it is also upside down. Unfortunately, this picture probably begs for comments about entering the contest, but I think it's worth it for the Dbag filing... Filed under Douche Baggery!

This is from dave, in case you couldn't tell.

All Bean: CMU unveils redesigned website.

Somewhere I can hear Chris Farley's motivational speaker character going "whoopty-frickin-doo." Or Mike Pretnar. I almost checked this as Douche Baggery because any improvement to the school should logically improve its market value, one would think, resulting in even more of a ridiculous tuition price oh, say, 18 years down the road.
