So, today was big stinks birthday, and as is becoming custom, I took him to see a movie for his birthday. Last year was Ironman (excellent movie BTW). This year was X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
Warning! Spoilers ahead!
So, we go to the movie, and we're sitting there watching the previews...
Good Previews:
9 - CGI-fest of some sort of knitted homununculous sort of thing trying to save the world.
Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen - 'Nother CGI-fest. Of course this is against my better judgement.
Terminator: Salvation - what the hell? Yet another CGI-fest... I think it was the Nine Inch Nails "The Day the Whole World Went Away"
Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs - Again with the damn CGI! This one has Poor Scrat falling(literally!) for a Female Squirrel.
Not So Much Previews:
TheTaking of Pelham 123 - I don't know, I think the whole "Travolta as a Bad Guy" is getting a little old. Alright already! We get it! you can play a slimeball! Must be drawing from his religion.
Anyways... Here is a spoiler free version of the movie:
Turns out Wolverine has always had the claws - he has many adventures, suffers through bad times, enjoys good, and becomes the lovable bad-ass we all admire.
The End.
Spoiler Laden Review (Last Warning!)
So we find out that not only is Logan older than dirt (literally! he starts out as a kid of like 8 in the 1700's), he also has a brother... none other than Victor Creed! A.k.a. Sabretooth!
Turns out that Victor's dad also slept with Logan's mom, and she passed logan off as her husband's child. The opening credits show us Victor and Logan fighting through the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, WWI, WWII, and Vietnam. After Victor kills a commanding officer and Logan jumps in to protect him, they face a firing squad, only to seusequently be recruited by William Stryker to form a team of mutants who are hunting down a new material called adamantium.
They trace the source back to some African town where Victor goes nuts, starts killing people, and Logan calls it quits, flees to Canada and becomes a lumberjack. After several years, Victor sets out to start killing his old crew, and tracks down Logan. Instead of killing him however, he kills Logan's Girlfriend - setting into motion a chain of events that Causes Logan to cross paths with Stryker.
Stryker now has enough adamantium to attempt a full body adamantium graft to Logan's skeletal structure. The procedure is a success, Stryker tries to doublecross Wolverine, we get a naked Hugh Jackman rampaging around, and an escape by waterfall.
Logan is then taken in by a nice older couple who own a farm. Fortunately for Logan (and an easy plot device) The old man is a motorcycle nut who has a bike in his barn, basically screaming for Logan to ride it. Agent Zero, one of Logan's old crew shoots the farmer and his wife in an attempt to pin it on Logan to justify using (excessively) lethal force.
Logan escapes, and begins the quest to hunt down Victor. In the process, he runs into two of his old teammates: John Wraith and the Blob. After a rediculous fight between Logan and the Blob, Wraith and Logan travel to New Orleans to find a street hustler by the name of Remy LeBeau, A.k.a. Gambit.
Logan Goads Gambit into revealing where the secret lab is, Wraith is killed by Victor, and right when Logan has Victor in a position to die, Gambit shows up and allows Victor to escape. Logan uses some fairly lame psychology to talk Gambit into taking him to the lab (conveniently located under Three Mile Island), where Stryker has been stealing DNA from mutants to create a supersoldier sort of killing machine by the name of Weapon Eleven (Logan's being Weapon X... the roman numeral ten).
Logan makes it to the lab, only to find out his dead girlfriend isn't dead. She was part of a plan to lure Logan into a trap so they could get his DNA, but it's o.k. because they still love each other. Logan frees a bunch of mutants with the help of his girlfriend and Gambit, and then faces off against weapon eleven.
During the climactic fight, Victor shows up, and the two of them proceed to get the shit knocked out of them by this uber-mutant until the Dramatically appropriate time when Logan manages to behead the erstwhile weapon eleven. Victor takes off, and Logan attempts to flee, only to find his girlfriend in bad shape (she having been shot earlier during the prison break). As he's carrying her out of the battleground, Stryker shows up and shoots Wolverine with Adamantium Bullets - three or four to the torso, two to the head.
Stryker goes to kill the girlfriend, but she uses her mutant ability to forcehim to jsut walk away, and then she dies. Logan wakes up with complete amnesia of the entire incident, not even recognizing his old lover, and takes off to parts unknown while Professor X makes a cameo, inviting many of the young mutants to hsi school for gifted children.
On the whole, I thought it wasn't all that bad of a movie - sure it was nowhere near as cool as Ironman, but it held together alot better than, say, X2.

Yo Padre
So, I just wanted to say that I have the coolest Dad in the world. wanna see a picture of him? Here he is with Mom.
Anyways, as I was saying, my Dad is one of the coolest guys in the world. Not only does he live in this crazy ass house that they built out of tires empty bottles and cans and gobs of dirt, but he also really does his best to make sure his grandkids have the birthdays of their dreams.
See, Big Stink wanted to have a "water party" for his big double digit party. The park where we're going to have it at doesn't have access to water spigots anymore, and we were going to have to rethink our plans (imagine 20+ ten year olds with squirt guns... that's what we had planned). I called up Dad, asked him a huge favor, and he totally delivers.
So, I just wanted to say "Thanks Dad, not only were you a good parent, but you're a good role model. I love you."

Obama and the antichrist: a comparison
So, LW has been on one of her websites, and these ladies keep claiming that Obama is "the anitchrist". Well, as a public service to everyone out there, and to help clear up any confusion, we will compare President Obama with the antichrist.
First off, the antichrist:
- [sits] in the temple, opposing himself against anything that is worshipped(2 Thessalonians 2:4)
- claims divine authority (2 Thessalonians 2:4)
- works all kids of counterfeit miracles and signs (2 Thessalonians 2:9)
- does all kinds of evil (2 Thessalonians 2:10)
- sets itself up in a "wing" or a Pinnacle" the temple.(Daniel 9:27)
- might be of jewish origin (matt 24:15)
Now, we could go further into detail, but then we would have to start scouring the rest of the bible, and I can only handle so much scorching of the flesh as I handle the damn thing.
As for the other side of this equation...
Barak Hussein Obama:
- Sits in the White House after being elected to the presidency (New York Times 5 Nov 2008)
- has said that "we can neither retreat from the world nor try to bully it into submission" and that we (Americans) must "lead the world, by deed and example". (Foreign Affairs 86 - July - August 2007)
- has not pulled off any miracles
- Define "Evil"
- has had near epic fails with early cabinet selections
- Is of Hawaiian descent
Right, so those last four, I have nothing to directly point to to back those up, so they're arguably non-points for Obama.
But the point I'm trying to make is this....
It's fine if you don't like the guy... I can dig that. I didn't like the last asshole who was in the White House. But if you're going to make comparisons to biblical figures, GET YOUR SHIT STRAIGHT FIRST!
Sorry folks, you can cling to your republican ideals, your rigid codes of ethics, your beliefs and/or racist/mysoginistic/outdated/outmoded ideologies but comparing Obama to the antichrist is too much of a stretch for me. (P.s. I'll hang on to mine while we're at it)
That's like comparing Rush Limbaugh to a sperm whale because it killed Captain Ahab.
If you want to spew your rhetoric, that is fine, just be prepared to be spewed back at.
First off, the antichrist:
- [sits] in the temple, opposing himself against anything that is worshipped(2 Thessalonians 2:4)
- claims divine authority (2 Thessalonians 2:4)
- works all kids of counterfeit miracles and signs (2 Thessalonians 2:9)
- does all kinds of evil (2 Thessalonians 2:10)
- sets itself up in a "wing" or a Pinnacle" the temple.(Daniel 9:27)
- might be of jewish origin (matt 24:15)
Now, we could go further into detail, but then we would have to start scouring the rest of the bible, and I can only handle so much scorching of the flesh as I handle the damn thing.
As for the other side of this equation...
Barak Hussein Obama:
- Sits in the White House after being elected to the presidency (New York Times 5 Nov 2008)
- has said that "we can neither retreat from the world nor try to bully it into submission" and that we (Americans) must "lead the world, by deed and example". (Foreign Affairs 86 - July - August 2007)
- has not pulled off any miracles
- Define "Evil"
- has had near epic fails with early cabinet selections
- Is of Hawaiian descent
Right, so those last four, I have nothing to directly point to to back those up, so they're arguably non-points for Obama.
But the point I'm trying to make is this....

America get Teabagged
Today is Tax Day. Enough about that. So, one of the things that make life so grand is the fact that people can assemble and petition the government for a redress of grievances. Now see, one of the big differences between the democraps and repubicans is the way they approach peaceful demonstration.
Democraps will makes signs and the more fanatic ones will throw rocks, trash cans, sticks, small children, etc. If they're feeling really frisky, they'll put themselves in front of motorcades or chain themselves to immovable objects.
Repubicans will make signs and the more fanatic ones will trow rocks, trash cans, sticks, minorities, etc. If they're feeling really frisky, they'll... well, I'll let you read for yourself:
In Colorado, we have the right to bear arms if we can legally purchase it. The only rule is that it must be visible from three sides. I move that we exercise our rights on this day, perhaps a rifle over the shoulder is a better message than a quip on a piece of poster board.
This is a peaceful, demonstration, I will remind everyone who reads it.
***
Maybe if people came with pitch forks and such … the news media might see we’re serious … Hang in effigy a few politicians - Obama, Pelosi, etc. Otherwise … you may have noticed previous tea parties (a few weeks back) were completely ignored by all but FOX News … Be outrageous or be ignored
***
I’m bringing an old flint-lock musket (Unloaded) strictly symbolic to show a real desire to take back our country from the socialist - We really need to march on the local news media so they can’t ignore us like they did last month - over 4000 protesters and not a peep (FOX News was the exception)
***
If we don’t act up (Bring Pitch Forks and maybe hang a few politicians in effigy) the liberal press will ignore us again like they did the 4,000 plus tax protesters in Florida last month …
***
I don’t know about pitchforks, but I wonder if masks would be prudent.
***
I am so happy and relieved to know
I AM NOT ALONE!
Together we will purge this country of the true terrorist!
I will be with you all ,hand in hand, at the fort Collins march.
With arms locked we will break right through their chains!
***
In order to fully understand what is going on here in America I would highly suggest that all of you research the following subjects: The Committee of 300 (the Illumaniti) Dr. Coleman on google video, FEMA Concentration Camps, and the NWO (New World Order).
***
Bring your pitchforks! For safety sake, stick a potato on each prong. If you have an effigy of Obama/Pelosi/Reid/Frank even better. Instead of burning the effigy, simply place the pitchfork up the a** and hoist it before the cameras.
***
This next one really blew me away. This is from "Gunny Bob" a Denver Radio Personality:
Everyone who attends should be aware of our esteemed opponents placing ringers in the audience to set us up for a scam that they hope will go viral on the Web.
Liberals may try to blend into the honest audience and push, trip or otherwise assault you, or intimidate you using any number of means. Bring video cameras and have them running and scanning all the time so the video can be used in court. Watch for them to hide nasty signs and posters under their outer clothing. Watch for them to suddenly produce KKK signs, baby killer signs, and other forms of noxious buffoonery. And watch for them carrying weapons, feces, urine, and other problematic items.
I think that this one is my personal favorite that sums up just how deluded some people are:
The liberals, gays, lesbiens [sic], are trying to take away OUR RIGHTS! Go figure!
These have all been taken verbatim from the website http://taxdayteaparty.com/teaparty/colorado. The only name I included was the radio personality, due to the fact that he is a public figure. The other posts I have left the names off of; if you want to figure out who said what, check out the website. At the same time, a few of these quotes were probably said by the same people, so I don't want anyone thinking that the "extreme" conservatives are much more prolific than they actually are.
On the opposite side of the coin, there are quite a few people on the website that are speaking out against these lunatics quoted above.
I am kind of worried about the number of comments posted from people making this a “republican vs democrat” issue. That is not what this is supposed to be about. I frankly don’t give a darn if they wear an R or a D after their name - they all look and smell alike to me any more, with very few exceptions. Glenn Beck has been warning against doing exactly that, because there are those out there who would love to make this another divisive issue. What we should be focussed[sic] on is that we are American citizens and that we demand that our elected officials represent US! Please think about that.
***
I highly suggest leaving the guns out for two reasons. First, most of these tea parties will be at or march to a government facility of some sort and having a weapon in those places is illegal. Second, the media will focus solely on the guns if they see it or hear about it and the meaning of the tea party will be lost.
***
This is not a partisan event and is not centered on Liberalism. As a very irate conservative, I look back on many administrations and they all have spent our money carelessly and without obstruction. This movement needs not the partisan labels as it is bigger then that. We need all citizens to look inward to themselves and hold this truth that we cannot stand for this any longer, no matter who is in charge!
***
PLEASE JOIN the Tea Party of choice and have a good time. Be friendly and on your best behavior. It’s a party! We want to reflect all genuine, traditional American citizens–hard working, generous, decent, thoughtful, collegial and law-abiding. Humor is welcome. There’s strength in numbers.
DON’t imitate the 60’s radicals and lefties who were obnoxious. Their demonstrations were divisive, loud and spit in the face of authority, taunted police and the National Guard to the breaking point, and disrespected veterans in despicable ways.
***
Marching with a gun is NOT a good idea! Marching with the constitution is….our politicians are ignoring us! LET”S march and tell them ENOUGH!!
***
Remember guys, these events are meant to be apolitical in the sense that we aren’t advocating for or against one party. One party might hypothetically stand for the same principles you or I do, but government expanded under George Bush and a Republican-led congress before Obama, Reid, and Pelosi got their crack at it. I would suggest your signs be tied to issues rather than people or parties.
now, I know people are going to say "well, you didn't bother hunting down any liberal quotes that show what lunatics they are". I know. We just have to wait a couple of years until the power has shifted, and I'll post anther one showing how loopy and ridiculous the liberal are.

Easter eggs plus blasphemy stopped by apathy
All of these pictures are thumbnails, so if you want a better look, just click on the image.
This is a top down view of the eggs that we made this year. Not too bad.
This one reminds me of the moon. Not the RL moon, but the moon of the old sci-fi pulps, where BEMs kidnapped wasp waisted women while square-jawed manly men fired off burp guns.
After making the "Cheshire" Egg, I was inspired to make this egg. This is the front view.
This is the top-ish view of the cat. We were using neon colored gel dyes, and the camera kinda washed out the color. Unfortunately, you can't see the ears very well in this pic.
This is one of Big Stink's Eggs. I don't know if he was going for a "Nightmare Before Christmas" type look or what, but I like how it turned out.
This is the top down view of the Egg 'o Lantern.
The back of the Egg 'o Lantern.
This is a stupid little face that I was working on. I was trying to get some depth to the mouth, but it turned out rather crappy.
This is the one that I was the most impressed with, but disapointed with the picture of. For some reason, this saying has always stuck in my head. For those of you who don't recognize it, it's from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The Cheshire cat says this to Alice when she inquires why everything is so mad. I was afraid that the entire phrase would not fit due to the curvature of the egg.
This is the bottom half of the saying, and the camera did not want to cooperate with the egg. Boo!
This was a little bit of humor that I added after the fact. This is the back side of the egg, and I kept thinking of the Disney version where the cheshire cat would fade out and all that would be left was the eyes and the grin.
I decided that I was going to try one more picture of the saying, and I think it turned out rather well. The only thing that made me mad about the picture was that the dye was this really wild electric purple, and the pictures turned it blue.
This was one that really caught my attention. I loved the way the colors kinda drifted across the green... reminds me a little of the planet Venus.
This was from Big Stink to Little Stink.
Alright, I admit it, this was one of the early ones, and I was trying to stay in the spirit of the holiday.
There's those damn liberal ideologies of ours rearing their ugly heads again.
Big Stink made this one, and I just couldn't help myself. This one, I call "I am the egg, man... ook ook a chook.
So, after we made the eggs and put the stinks to bed, I started debating about doing some more eggs. I had a great idea for a new egg, but didn't do it. Probably for the best... see when I first thought of it, I didn't realize that it was not only sacreligeous, but also hugely blasphemous. See, the idea was to put the key that the Morningstar had given to Morpheus in retaliation for a previous slight.
That's what I get for being Discordian during a Christian Holiday. Glad I caught myself before all hell broke loose.... never mind.
