SROD i was visiting some elder relatives in FL last week, including my 80-year old Uncle. He has a LP collection in the 750-1000 range, I’d estimate. Gave me a few loaners. He wouldn’t cough up two I wanted, a Boots Randolph LP and a Stanley Turentine lp. He did have the Boots LP on CD though and I got a copy there.

I dunno about that – obviously Dragon Tattoo skews the perspective on her looks, but I thought her body was pretty tight in that movie.

Will Ferrell, love his stuff, but only in small doses. Skits from SNL, cameo in Wedding Crashers, lesser role in Old School.
I find when he’s the main character or focal point, his act starts to implode upon itself and it gets old.

On the basis of little else, the media conjured a Hollywood script: A “white” man was “stalking” a little black kid — who could be Obama’s son! — confronted him, beat him senseless as the small black child screamed for help, and finally shot the kid dead, “just because he was black.”
This is spot on. Let the story play out, investigate, get the facts straight and then bring whomever is responsible to justice.

Here’s Ann Coulter, proving she’s above the race debate:
Not being a race-obsessed liberal, I don’t particularly care, but it’s indisputable that Zimmerman is brown. Using his mother’s maiden name, he would be admitted to the University of Michigan law school on a full scholarship.
March 29th, 2012 at 8:37 AM

This article had just the right amount of tongue-in-cheek.
Your bicep's job is to pull your lower arm upwards. If you want to pull any kind of real weight, you do it with your back muscles. A car falls on your baby, and you're going to try to use your biceps to lift it up?Now your baby is dead. Should have done some deadlifts.
March 29th, 2012 at 8:40 AM
Without doing research, the average person would think Martin was a slight 12-year-old whippersnapper at the time of the shooting, rather than a strapping 6-foot, 160-pound 17-year-old. Indeed, he was 3 inches taller than Zimmerman, according to the police report.
Ann Coulter is something else.

So, the video portraying a Zimmerman in okay shape is narrative journalism? Look, I want to see this case thoroughly investigated and, if need be, prosecuted. However, until Nancy Grace becomes dictator, I’m not going to succumb to the media trying a case before there’s even a trial. I think we all need to take a step back and wait for the evidence to be presented at trial, along with hearing witness testimony and Zimmerman’s defense.
March 29th, 2012 at 8:44 AM

meh, skinny blondes are for isolated marreid with kids northeasterners i’d guess
March 29th, 2012 at 8:45 AM
I have somehow paid almost no attention to the Martin thing, but had the TV on yesterday and saw a brief story which included a picture. Just read the Coulter piece and didn’t realize that the picture I saw during the news piece was not a recent one. If true, I’m disappointed by that…it put the “there’s no way that little kid could have attacked Zimmerman” thought in my head. Coulter saying Martin was 190 lbs shocked me. Obviously I’m no news junkie, but I’m sure there are millions of others as ill-informed as I am.

160. That’s what she says. I have no idea how much the kid weighed, but that’s as far as she could go was up to 160.
Apparently, too, he was “strapping” at 160. So there’s that.

March 29th, 2012 at 8:56 AM
I’m not going to succumb to the media trying a case before there’s even a trial. I think we all need to take a step back
Yes. In my eyes, Zimmerman and Sandusky are innocent until the prosecution proves their case beyond a reasonable doubt to jury of their peers in the court of law. I know in the Nancy Grace media culture that adhering to the principles of the American justice system are ideal, but that’s the path I choose to take. If the media/public tried cases, OJ, Casey Anthony, and Michael Jackson would’ve been found guilty and burned at the stake before a trial even began.
Note: I’m not defending criminals’ actions for those who want to misconstrue my point.

What if someone thinks the story is about the problem with armed wackos patrolling the streets as psuedo-police and not about racism? Can I still be wrong? More importantly, can I still be racist?
At no point did anything even close to that happen. I simply maintained (still do) that a grand jury report is not the word of god containing every relevant fact or detail that it was taken to be.

The fact remains Zimmerman went after Martin after the police told him not to on the phone. Forget all the racism talk, the character issues or whatever. You can’t claim self-defense when you actively go stick your face in a situation you were told not to by law enforcement.
Two things to add:
1. Zimmerman is a grown man. Martin was barely out of childhood. The adult is supposed to exercise thinking and foresight.
2. It’s not up to the police to say “Guilty” or “Not Guilty.” Arrest him, present the information to the DA. If there’s enough evidence to warrant going to trial, the DA will charge him. If his defense is sound, the judge/jury will exonerate him. It feels like we skipped about 10 steps in this case.

i agree, but i stop agreeing when there’s death involved. him following the kid does not mean that if — IF– martin attacked zimmerman, zimmerman shouldn;t protect himself just because he put himself in that situation. and once again, guns don’t kill people….
March 29th, 2012 at 9:00 AM
that’s the issue that’s getting lost in this racism talk.
Zimmerman was a vigilante, he disobeyed the 911 operators command not to follow the kid, and then the kid wound up dead with a GSW from Zimmerman.
there’s enough holes in Zimmerman’s story where charges can be brought up, but Florida has a law that once charges are brought up you have 175 days to be in court, or charges are dismissed.
i get why nothing has been done yet in terms of filing charges if they need an airtight case after Casey Anthony, however, what caught the media’s attention was the horrible, horrible jobs the cops did investigating the scene.

March 29th, 2012 at 9:02 AM
On the flip-side, I haven’t heard even a hint of this. I don’t think this is remotely true, but then again, neither was Paterno going out like that.
March 29th, 2012 at 9:02 AM
Correct, but if that’s the simple case the prosecution brings, a jury is very likely to find reasonable doubt with that line of argument. The reason being, as my attorney fiancee noted in legalese that I don’t understand, the mere action of following Martin isn’t necessarily enough evidence for a slam dunk conviction. That’s why the prosecution will need to supplement that with additional evidence, motive, etc.
This is why I want to see all the evidence examined, witnesses heard, and Zimmerman’s defense laid out in court before I make a judgment call one way or the other re: Zimmerman’s guilt. However, it seems that 95% of the public opining on this case has made up their mind. Nancy Grace is winning.

I don’t think it makes you racist, but I do think it means that your turning a blind eye to the people with the real power in this situation. Zimmerman did whatever he did, and he should or shouldn’t suffer whatever justice he properly deserves.
The real crime is the police dept. that treated this as an open and shut case while a kid was lying in a slab in the morgue for 2 whole days. I’m all for the justice system playing itself, but not so much for those with responsibility gaming the rules before the justice system can run its course. That’s where you have to ask yourself, if this kid was white would it have gone down the same way.

If I see a suspicious character, I fucking tell 911 and let the authorities handle it. I’m not batman, I don’t go after some random dude on the street because I don’t know if he is carrying skittles or a glock. I don’t think carrying a gun gives me a good reason to go confront a suspicious character face to face on the street.

March 29th, 2012 at 9:08 AM

That’s you. Remember, we don’t know what Zimmerman thought he saw or what transpired. I don’t think he’s guilty or innocent and do think he should be tried in court (provided he can get a fair trial), but I remain unconvinced that this kid was walking down the street minding his own business and was attacked for no reason at all.
That said, if we had stronger gun laws in this country the kid would still be alive.

March 29th, 2012 at 9:15 AM
Being apprehended by a fake cop made me think of the last time I was apprehended by a cop.
My friends went inside a pizza place for a slice and come out yelling at these 2 kids (turns out my friend thought one of the 2 called him dumb when he handed him the parmasean — I wasn’t there to confirm this) and there is this big argument. I’m standing there ready to see what happens next when my friend grabs the pizza box the kid is holding and punts it, then with perfect timing a fire truck comes and runs over the pizza on the street. Then we pushed and shoved, the police came — nothing happened at the end of the day. Good times.
March 29th, 2012 at 9:15 AM
to expand on this thought, what if Zimmerman did roll up to someone carrying a glock, pulled his own firearm, and got his ass shot and killed.
March 29th, 2012 at 9:15 AM
I think we all know the answer is no. At least not until the next item that emotionally charges and divides the country happens that has little to no impact on our daily lives occurs.

he film was scheduled to be released on November 24, 2010, but was shelved due to MGM’s financial troubles, and is now set for a 2012 release. Instead of depicting a Soviet invasion of the United States as in the 1984 film, the 2012 version’s storyline was originally filmed with a Chinese invasion. This was later edited to depict a North Korean invasion in post-production due to concerns from distributors.

I’m willing to give this a shot if they can get the original cast.

Jets is good for a chain. 8 piece square is the one to get.

Old speckled hen tastes like garbage juice
March 29th, 2012 at 9:53 AM
that place any good? still haven’t been there.
March 29th, 2012 at 9:55 AM
I hate that inbred, smug prick Joffrey.
March 29th, 2012 at 9:56 AM
It’s awesome. It’s sourdough crust, which is just fantastic. It’s a bit pricey though. But they always have great beers too. Their other stuff is delicious as well, especially the garlic pretzels and greek salads.
March 29th, 2012 at 9:57 AM
Absolutely delicious. The one by my work has a Happy Hour special where for every alcoholic beverage you purchase, you get a free slice of cheese pizza. It’s incredible. I’m not sure why I’m not there every single day.
March 29th, 2012 at 9:58 AM
Better question is who doesn’t hate Joffrey?
March 29th, 2012 at 9:58 AM
Can’t wait for Sunday. Anyone know if this season is only 10 episodes too?
March 29th, 2012 at 9:59 AM
Mellow Mushroom is good, not great. Typically overrated by most.
March 29th, 2012 at 10:00 AM
how do you know what garbage juice tastes like?
March 29th, 2012 at 10:01 AM
yes, it is. I was a little disappointed by this actually. Wikipedia does tell me that their budget got a 15% increase this season, though. And that budget was already massive.
March 29th, 2012 at 10:04 AM
From what I’ve heard is that they’re going to split Storm of Swords into 2 seasons. If so, I’ll let it fly.
March 29th, 2012 at 10:09 AM
Just bought the first book…even though I heard I can skip it…can’t decide if I want to read them along with the series or jump ahead.
March 29th, 2012 at 10:09 AM
damn right. there is a place here called Damn Good Pies that is fucking awesome. I think they have 6 different sauces to choose from, and there crust tasted like bread sticks.
March 29th, 2012 at 10:11 AM
I would recommend reading them all prior to the show. Makes the experience of the show better, IMO.
March 29th, 2012 at 10:11 AM
Who told you to skip it? They’re retarded. Trust me, you WANT to read that book. It’s stuffed with foreshadowing and evidence that is vital in understanding the later books.
March 29th, 2012 at 10:17 AM
I think it might have been someone here….but, that’s good to know. I like the extra character development you get from the books too.

Doing curls is the least effective way to get nice arms. Your biceps are so conditioned for the curls motion and thats why it comes so naturally to any newbie at the gym.
Your muscles don’t grow because they will like to help you impress anyone they grow out of necessity and curls just doesn’t provide enough of that for such a well adapted muscle.
Want nice arms? focus on winning everything else.
This logic also applies to six-packs…. sorry you are most likely not getting them from basic situps. Your abs fire on pretty much any move you make so you’d need to get more creative to get them to grow.

Old meme squawk, wasn’t trying to be practical (notice the tag on the comment).
March 29th, 2012 at 10:19 AM
There’s a part in the second book that foreshadows a lot of the third book. It’s also one of my favorite parts of Dany’s story in Clash of Kings.
March 29th, 2012 at 10:20 AM
The character development is insanely deep in the books. One of my favorite aspects of Martin’s storytelling.

I hate to say this, but Sansa is smoking hot.

i don’t hate to say it.
March 29th, 2012 at 10:49 AM
OK so what are your suggestions? I do lots of planks and crunches on the work out ball with weights.
March 29th, 2012 at 10:53 AM
More cardio.
March 29th, 2012 at 10:53 AM
OK, what’s the best medication for a lingering sinus cold? Actual medicine’s not helping, so tonight I’m going to try a bourbon toddy.
March 29th, 2012 at 10:58 AM
I do cardio at least 5 days a week.
March 29th, 2012 at 11:01 AM
best way to improve abs is improved diet. the p90 ab ripper is vomit-inducing. I love to hate it.
March 29th, 2012 at 11:02 AM
Do intervals. More sprinting followed by rests, rather than a steady pace.
March 29th, 2012 at 11:02 AM
Obviously it depends on what you’re going for, but my point is that what you’re doing could be enough for your core. Your ab muscles are just like any other muscle in that they can be overworked, and overdeveloped which can be very unflattering. If they’re sufficiently strong, then you need to shed the layer of fat around them, not do more abs.

sg no six-packs on women

Neti pot will get you relief for 60-90 minutes and is good for when you wake up and try to go to sleep. But to resolve, go to a Walgreens/CVS type place, you can get a Mucinex sinus stuff that they make you sign for (controlled substance alert) but you dont need a prescription for. That stuff is undefeated in my experience.
March 29th, 2012 at 11:06 AM
Oh no you didnt!
March 29th, 2012 at 11:07 AM
/pukes
March 29th, 2012 at 11:08 AM
I 2nd the Mucinex comment. That stuff is gold. Start with just one pill though. If you need 2, take em, but that stuff makes you WIRED.
March 29th, 2012 at 11:09 AM
Or sprinting mixed with resistance exercises (pushups, situps, etc.).
