Overnight Thread-All Work and No Pay? Edition [CDR M]

So here we are, on the eve of a potential government shutdown and I can't believe it's come down to either Planned Parenthood or a few billion dollars in cuts that amount to a week of spending out of the total budget. Just insane. For once, blogging at the HQ is gonna be like working in the military. All work and no pay! Heh. Well at least Ace provides val-u-rite and hobos (so I've heard). Well enough serious talk. On with the ONT!

Since it is Friday, I think this pic should be perfect. What happens if you crossed Marty Feldman and Rebecca Black?

I know, I know, that was horrible. Still, not as bad as having to listen to her sing no? Ok, maybe not that bad. Here, maybe this will help wash away that image. Her name is Nikki Stanley and I think she would kick your ass Kratos, with or without your sword!

Speaking of swords, this Washington Lotto commercial is pretty damn cool. Any of you morons from the great NW in this?

This day in history. Hank Aaron sets new homerun record. Confederates rout the Union at the Battle of Mansfield. Olympic Park Bomber agrees to plead guilty. Twin Peaks premiered on ABC. WPA established by Congress.

Signs of Hollywood running out of ideas #4672. It seems the Keanu Reeves is hinting that a Bill and Ted 3 is in the works. Really? I didn't think that movie series was screaming for a third installment, especially with George Carlin not available.

Crazy story. Man Give's Wife First Mosquito-Borne STD. Yeah right. I'd say it was a mosquito too based on the pic of who he was with. If true though, it gives a lot of married folk a new excuse.

Timely article given the times we live in. The Top 10 Thriftiest TV Families. I'd have to go with Little House on the Prairie. No electricity. 'nuff said. Which is where we are headed if the green libtards get their way. I'm surprised Married With Children wasn't on the list though.

Oh my. Potential recast for the new Spiderman?

Ah, time for name this actress!

Silly me. I always thought that older cars were built sturdier. After watching this video. I'm not so sure.

Oh no! The early hurricane season forecast is out. Take it with a grain a salt. As this site points out, CU has changed their parameters so they really don't know how good it is yet.

ATTENTION MORONS: CLICK HERE. Not safe for Kratos.

How can Star Trek copy Star Wars? Well, for the first outing on the big screen for Trek, the premise was a big, galactic cerebral space epic, filled with more high-brow sci-fi elements and a deathly slow plot. It was and still is criticised for it.
For the second movie, however, the writers learnt their lessons and found out what people actually wanted in a space opera. Namely, space battles, bad guys, monsters and lasers, all the things that a few years previously Lucas had provided in a completely different franchise.
It's ironic, then, that nearly fifteen years later Lucas, in turn, took a look at Star Trek: The Motion Picture and used its slow, meandering dead-behind-the eyes styles and made a trilogy of emotionless movies that sapped all the love people had for the original, and turned avid fans and audiences against him. Just an observation.

Well, that's all I got folks. Back to the salt mines.
