  1. He's gone. He passed.
  2. OK, clarified it via the googles - they understood parachutes, they weren't afraid of jumping, they took the officer literally, and thought he meant jumping without parachutes - and five dudes still raised their hands. Maybe not true. Don't care. Still a cool story.
  3. Time to call in the Gurkhas Heard this story on a podcast a while back - let's assume it's true for the sake of how bad ass Gurkhas are. British army was spinning up a new parachute regiment and wanted to include the Gurks. They were asked how many wanted to jump out of airplanes! Five raised their hands. Officer was puzzled, as he'd heard the tales of how fearless these guys are. He talks to their commanding officer. He then understands that the Gurks didn't understand the concept of a "parachute", and these five tough SOB's took the literal meaning of jumping out of an airplane! When explained, of course 100% of them volunteered. Wild shit.
  4. I still remember the buzz around Blair Witch Project. Is it real? Who produced it? You HAVE to see it, it's all self-filmed, etc. It was marketing genius and spawned so many other 1st-person and/or paranormal movies.
  5. Recently new Nepali place opened in Frisco - "Base Camp". Been there a few times. Not too shabby.
  6. Obviously, but it was based on a real person that illustrated the horrendous conditions with modern cinema and a big budget to back it.
  7. That's WAY down the waterfall. The Hong Kong action movies decades earlier set this is motion. Specifically all the John Woo movies. Remember the phrase "Gun Fu"? Or gun play married with Kung Fu. That's a direct line down to Wick. This leads to one I can't believe I forgot. Enter the Muther Frickin Dragon. Bruce Lee. THE martial arts movie. Still holds up today.
  8. Serious movies Rocky - 70's underdog, come from the gutter to glory sports movies for which there are dozens now Schindlers List - 90's harrowing doc on the camps, etc. Nothing like it before or after on that scale. Saving Private Ryan - late 90's film with brutal reality. Spawning BoB and the Pacific and the Flags of our Fathers movies. Pixar Toy Story kind of started it all Marvel/Superhero Blade - the first bad ass production movie that was a box office success. Blade was the OG, spawning a whole host of subsequent Marvel movies that made gazillions
  9. Per the interwebz, it was a Maltese or heraldic cross, borrowed from European heraldic motifs conveying strength and guardianship, connection and unity The more you know....
  10. Damn. So many questions where is Austin did this take place? So they broke in, drank a bunch of booze, then exited smashed - which even with strong stuff, can take a little while Then hammered, stole the car and crashed it Are they still at large?
  11. Das wasis!
  12. Expensive truck gun.....;)
  13. These two things make me itchy. Comp guns and EDC guns are two different animals, built to do two completely different things. I's just say be careful with that hair trigger.
  14. I'd buy the OX ranch - but with more tanks and flamethrowers
  15. Watched that fight. Clear and utter fuckery. Everyone knew Roy won that fight. Glad it's been rectified. Pound for pound, Roy was one of the greatest to ever put on the gloves. No jab. Fuck your jab. A hook so fast it one-punch KO'd Montell Griffin.
  16. But, the worst thing I ever done: I mixed up all this fake puke at home and then I went to this movie theater, hid the puke in my jacket, climbed up to the balcony and then, t-t-then, I made a noise like this. OU suckssssssss!!!!!!!!!
  17. This game is boring. Switching to the greatest movie ever: The Goonies! Fight me!!!
  18. They fucking had him. Jesus. Make the tackle.
  19. Cripple fight. OU can play the run when there’s no threat of downfield passing. MI can’t throw the ball. If Texas doesn’t shit the bed. They can score on OU and put them into obvious passing downs with this defense. OU over pursuing like hell. Exploit it Sark you fuck.
  20. Well to be fair. We had ONE to start the game. Penalty pulled it back. So hey….we tried…..ugh.
  21. Well. Rat farts. still. Not. Sober.
  22. Australian rules….
