Overnight Open Thread

This has bugged me a lot about some military movies. Most Don't Get The Dang Uniforms Right. It's not that hard. To this day Crimson Tide bugs me.

"They figure that the wardrobe people will do their research," Dye said. "The problem is wardrobe people who've never worn a uniform can do their research but they don't know what they're talking about. They don't know how to wear it. They don't have the insight."

In some cases, wardrobe folks like certain uniforms for the way they look, not whether they are authentic, he said.

Honey Badger

Hmmm. Bad-ass you say? I don't know. Things To Know About The Honey Badger.

Do honey badgers have bad attitudes?
Absolutely! But they need to, because they’re often surprised.

Honey badgers are very vulnerable. Often they’re digging—they’re quite small [weighing 10 to 20 pounds), they don’t see very well, their noses are in the ground—and they’re completely oblivious to what’s going on around them. When they eventually realize that the leopard is standing right behind them, they just put on this incredible show to try to protect themselves. They do the same in reaction to humans.

So that is where the bad attitude comes from. It’s a protective mechanism.

Cowboys and Iranians

Wow. Seems some folks sure are sensitive. It would seem these guys made this poster back in 1979 when those Iranian students took over the American Embassy and held Americans hostage for 444 days (Today is the 32nd anniversary of that event). Does the depiction of hanging someone automatically make it racist?

Well, that's all I got tonight. Not feeling well so I'm cutting it short.
