Funniest death scenes in serious movies:
So they include Friday 13th, Coen movies, Comic Book (and Tarantino) Movies? WTF? He’s my favorite but I don’t even think you can include most of Tarantino’s work, because he includes the audience in on his jokes. You could do a whole list of Tarantino funny deaths if that was the case. Coens too.
Maybe when Wayne Groh got popped by Deniro… Or when Giovanni Ribisi got popped in Saving Private Ryan. Oh wait the latter was one of the saddest.

He’s going to have to drive to PGH mid-game to do it. Crosby didn’t even make the trip.
Flyers should win handily. No Crosby, Pens playing with 3 minor league defensemen, etc.

December 8th, 2011 at 8:50 AM
Human error by 2 untrained co-pilots while the pilot was off napping was the main cause. All started because they didn’t do their research and divert from strong storms that were in the area. All other planes flying through that region had deviated from their original course to go around the storms. This plane tried flying right through it. After a series of small (totally correctable mistakes) the most inexperienced of the pilots then tried ascending the altitude of the plane AFTER IT STALLED and held back the control stick the entire time. Both co-pilots completely ignored 75 stall warnings. By the time the captain returned to fix the situation – it was too late.
December 8th, 2011 at 8:51 AM
steelers win by 56.
December 8th, 2011 at 8:52 AM
It just goes through the recorder tapes for the pilots (all of whom were French). Essentially the co-pilots thought they had the plane climbing, when in reality they were essentially just leveling the plane as it fell.
By the time the head pilot realized their error, he couldn’t generate enough speed to climb prior to impact.

One of the most insane crowds ever was at the Monsters Of Rock tour in the USSR. Pantera is playing in front of like 500k people, youtube videos are crazy.

December 8th, 2011 at 8:52 AM
indeed…nice shot tubs ahoy.
December 8th, 2011 at 8:53 AM
This is the biggest issue. When your altitude is dropping, it’s counter-intuitive to drop the nose of the plane. It’s the same is if you are skidding on ice driving a car, the first thing you have to do is NOT hit the brakes/try to steer.
December 8th, 2011 at 8:53 AM

They were huge in the early 90′s. Part of their appeal back then was the “American Rock and Roll” feel they had which was especially popular overseas as other countries actually liked us back then.
I’m pretty sure Mötley Crüe and Queensrÿche were part of the Monsters linup that year as well.

the most inexperienced of the pilots then tried ascending the altitude of the plane AFTER IT STALLED and held back the control stick the entire time. Both co-pilots completely ignored 75 stall warnings.
If you have enough altitude, you can recover by descending, building airspeed and by extension, increasing lift. “Lifties” are your friend. A little CRM would have went a long way to avert this tragedy.
Justin Fuente, the TCU co-offensive coordinator, will be announced as the new Memphis football coach.

I did this a lot when I was younger, and when it was freezing out like it is now, I’d use the wiffle balls a lot indoors, then not like the feel of hitting those, so used real golf balls instead.

His Stand by Me is one of the best remakes of a classic IMO, along with Stevie Wonder’s version We Can Work it Out. I will say I don’t pretend every Lennon or Beatles song is epic though, generally their best stuff gets the most credit.

Couple collisions in the game vs, Boston, none directly to the head, but said he wasn’t feeling right, so sitting 2 games for precautionary reasons.

December 8th, 2011 at 9:30 AM
All for it. So long as Fidel’s nephew remains in Cubbie blue, that’s all I care about. By the time the Cubs are good again, Garza will be on the wrong side of 30. Trade Soto to an American League team as well. Get younger.
Theo probably talked to Coach Taylor about it, got some advice. Clear eyes, full hearts, can’t lose.
December 8th, 2011 at 9:30 AM
yeah, I put a window out at my house summer before last, so I got some of these. the feel is 100 times better than a wiffle ball, and outside they get decent distance, but you can use them in the house as well, for chipping at least.

Winter is all about improving putting technique. I can’t get anything from taking swings in fear of damanging my house. Maybe just re-read some Hogan, some visualization. Putt Putt Putt.
Latest is find a spot 20 feet from you. THen a spot 10 feet past you. Get a # of balls (the pros use 10, I use 6). Putt the first ball just past 10 feet. Then the next putt has to go past that. And so forth but each ball must be past the preceding shot, and within the 20 foot boundary. So if you putt your first put 13, feet, you know only have 7 feet left for your remaining putts.

Urinal Mint, Leupold optics are fucking sweet, but you usually pay the price for them. I just looked that GX4 and it was over $400, that is pretty damn steep.

When I used to work at the video store, I’d have parents come in renting GTA or whatever for their 13 year old kids and younger. After a while, I started saying, “do you know how much violence is in that game?” Parents wouldn’t do shit. But when I said, “and you can pick up prostitutes,” they went off and said “put it back.” Got so many kids pissed off at me. I loved that shit.

My big gripe with the Bushnell is the battery door. Whoever designed the thing needs to be dragged into the street and shot in the face. If you can find a 1500 I’d get that one before I got a 1600. I dunno if you play courses with elevation, but if you don’t, don’t bother with the slope feature. It’ll save you some scratch.

I played M rated games when I was 14 or so (couldn’t imagine an 8 year old playing…that’s a little ridiculous), and I didn’t find it to be so bad.
But even before that, I would play Beetle Adventure Racing on N64 (fantastic game) while blasting a Blink-182 CD that would say ‘shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker, tits, fart, turd, and twat’ over and over again…so if the kids aren’t getting it from videogames, they’ll get it from somewhere else.
And parents will go crazy because they didn’t know what their kids were getting.

Also, if your looking to play in a State/National Am. tournament you can’t have one that adjust for slope.
First time I played in an Am. I was the only one there walking yardages. Helps with pace of play for sure but seems unfair to me unless there is no yardage book for the course (there wasn’t for this one.)
