Overnight Open Thread (8-23-2012)Dream Team: The 10 Best Conservative Columnists Okay I'm down with 8 of these but I just don't consider David Brooks or Peggy Noonan (post-2000) particularly conservative or all that great. Falling for Obama in 2008 ought to put you in the cornfield of conservative punditry for a good decade or so. And frankly I can't recall a single memorable George Will column in years. According to hearsay he's focusing these days on the grandeur of baseball and why blue jeans and football should be banned. The Election According to Amazon Sales Even NY is only 56% blue while DC is the bluest in the country with 74%.
Tales from Development Hell: The Greatest Movies Never Made For all the reboots/remakes/sequels being made these days there were many others that were eagerly awaited yet never got made: This wasn't always the case, however. Six years passed between Aliens and Alien3, eight between Batman & Robin and Batman Begins -- and an unthinkable eighteen fallow years between Superman IV: The Quest for Peace and Superman Returns. So what was going on for all that time? When you're a Scandi stuck on a barren, arctic island, you get your jollies where you can: Seven-year-old Jón Haukur Vignisson unexpectedly won the highest score among non-professionals in the annual national ram groping tournament organized by the Sheep Farming Museum in Hólmavík, the Strandir region in the West Fjords, last weekend. How to Eat a Watermelon Correctly You're doing it all wrong. The Fork Cartel many years ago sort of brainwashed people into thinking they're supposed to eat a watermelon with a fork just in an attempt to sell forks. The first problem is that the typical return on a bank robbery is pretty modest. Over a three-year period, one thing or another went wrong and 1/3 of UK bank robbers got away with no money at all. The average haul for a successful heist was around £30,000 (or about $47,000). Even then, about 1/5 of successful robbers were later caught, arrested and convicted, and in some cases the money recovered. Given that you have a 50/50 chance of being caught by your 3rd heist, clearly you're better off running a brokerage firm and 'losing' a billion or two. Interview with the Anal Tat Girl So 22 year-old Maria Louise Del Rosario became internet-famous last week after she was videoed getting an anal tattoo at the Florida Tattoo Expo. And in this interview she explains all - and pretty much confirms every hypothesis you've ever formed about the kind of girl who gets anal tattoos. On her first anal tat (the video is of her "When I got it tattooed, he held my cheeks open while I was choking myself from the pain. Then we ended up breaking up because he said he couldn't see us getting married or starting a family." On her fame: Then she met Rockwood, who "hated seeing Vince there when we had sex," so she got "Rockwood" tattooed over her old one for his birthday. She claims Rockwood eventually got her thrown in jail for stealing. Currently the over/under for Maria's lifespan is 39.5 years. Yahoo group. That is all. And my Twitter spew.
