This guy in Libby’s class, possibly named Marshall, is apparently doing a project in which he’s trying to get a duckling to imprint on him. The caption of this picture read, “SO THIS GUY IN MY ENGLISH IS DOING A PROJECT FOR BIO WHERE HE GETS A DUCKLING TO IMPRINT ON HIM SO HE JUST CARRIES IT AROUND WITH HIM TO ALL OF HIS CLASSES AND I SWEAR THIS DUCK IS THE MOST WELL BEHAVED FUCKING POULTRY IVE EVER SEEN IT JUST SITS ON HIS DESK QUIETLY AND SOMETIMES HE PUTS IT IN HIS POCKET AND IT JUST SLEEPS LIKE WOW YOU GO DUCKY.”
Lawyers for George Zimmerman, who is charged with second-degree murder in the killing of Trayvon Martin, will be barred from mentioning Mr. Martin’s marijuana use, history of fights or high school suspension during opening statements in Mr. Zimmerman’s trial, which begins June 10.
At a hearing Tuesday in a Seminole County court, Circuit Judge Debra Steinberg Nelson denied a string of defense motions concerning evidence that was intended to portray Mr. Martin as a troubled teenager with a propensity for fighting and an interest in guns. Prosecutors argued that such evidence had nothing to do with Mr. Martin’s death.
Because why would ANY of that be relevant. I mean just because somebody is a habitual drug user with a past history of violence, theft, and juvenile delinquency, that doesn’t have anything to do with claims that Mr. Zimmerman was assaulted and was fighting for his life against a teen who he suspected was casing homes to rob.
I’m also sure Zimmerman will get the same treatment, and the prosecution will not mention the messy breakup with his fiancee, or the dropped criminal charges for assaulting an undercover officer who failed to identify himself.
I’ve never got the whole opposition to doctor assisted suicide:
So long as the decision is mutual with the patient still of sound mind, and the administration is done by the patient themselves. It seems odd that we will allow our pets to die comfortably and with dignity, but yet won’t let our own people do the same, even if they are BEGGING for it.
Also these doctor assisted methods can be safer, cleaner, and have less potential harm to others than many more traditional suicide methods.
Why are we even discussing this? I couldn’t think of anything more reasonable!
Of course I don’t agree with him about making these drugs legal. Not because I want people tripping their balls off, or shooting heroin on their front porch, but because with the “War On Drugs” we get wonderful side-effects like the DEA, SWAT teams doing “no-knock raids”, Street Gangs, explosive meth labs, and countries taken over by drug cartels.
Sorry, I’ll take my chances with people doing more drugs if that other shit gets to go away.
Oregon police said over the weekend that they stopped a Columbine-style plot against an Albany-area high school, and one student is in custody after authorities claim they found pipe bombs, napalm and other homemade explosives in his home.
Acting on a tip, police searched the home of West Albany High School student Grant Acord on Thursday, according to ABC News. Inside the home, police say they found a secret compartment where he stored six homemade explosive devices and other bomb-making materials.
You won’t see any of the antis talking about this because no guns were part of the plan….of course the bombs (depending on construction) could be vastly more deadly.
A few years ago I asked Lord Vector if he’d ever seen the Super Mario Brothers Movie, he said he hadn’t, but noted that all he had heard was it was horrible.
Now I won’t say that wasn’t true, but what I will say is I find this film to be deeply enjoyable, given that A) You consume adult beverages while watching it, and B) You make note that ANY resemblance to a series of video games is purely coincidental.
Its a great cast with a very VERY bizarre story, set design, and direction. Anything that resembles a video game is a direct detractor, and the best parts are the bits that are WAYYYY off the reservation.
Super Mario Bros., theatrically released May 28, 1993. Directed by Rocky Morton and Annabel Jankel (creators of Max Headroom); starring Bob Hoskins, John Leguizamo, and Dennis Hopper.
20 years? Jesus, where did the time go?
He was also deeply amused by this bit, as was I:
The cast was basically in revolt. The actors would shove each day’s new pages aside unread. Hoskins and Leguizamo swilled scotch together between takes, leading to an on-set accident in which Leguizamo drunkenly crashed a truck and Hoskins broke his hand. By the time Stayton got there, the disgruntled performers had abandoned any effort to put on a happy face. When Stayton told Hopper the directors declined to speak to him for the story, the actor responded, “That’s the only intelligent thing I’ve heard that they’ve really actually done.”
So Leguizamo and Hoskins were both drunk during filming! That also happens to be the best way to watch the film as well!
For those interested in a trip into the bizarre, the whole film can be watched here:
One man is dead and another is in the hospital battling for his life after they got into a fight when one of them rode his motorcycle across the other’s front yard in Pasadena early Wednesday morning….Mitchell said at about 4:30 a.m. the motorcyclist came home from work and rode across his neighbor’s yard. The neighbor saw him and went outside. The two argued. Then the motorcyclist pulled out knife and stabbed the other man. They fought and the wounded man choked the motorcyclist, who died. His name has not been released.
Actually sounds like legitimate self-defense on the side of the strangler. Still no matter how the chips fall, no “Gun Death” so no worries!
