This is so against Bro-Code its not even funny. You go in pick the furthest urinal away from everyone else and stare straight down or straight ahead with no talking. Why is this so hard to understand?!! WHY!!!!!
R.I.P. Batman :(
It's official, I have lost all faith in humanity. Eddie Murphy has been named as the Riddler in the upcoming sequel to The Dark Knight. Maybe I could see this for the earlier campy franchise, but not for Chistopher Nolan's vision which so far has been hands down the best adaptation i have seen. Honestly when was the last time anyone saw Eddie Murphy do a serious role without going over the top? ....... Anyone?.... That's what I thought. And to add insult to injury, Shia LaBeouf has been named as Robin, this is shocking considering after the release of The Dark Knight, Christian Bale said as long as he was Batman there would be no Robin. Don't get me wrong, Robin was a great character for the comic books, and saturday morning cartoons, but for Nolan's dark, serious adaptation I can't see him fitting in. Honestly with this list of characters, I see Nolan's vision peaking with The Dark Knight, and coming down worse than the Hiddenburg with this next film.

Did You Ever Wonder...
THE STORY OF THE ANGEL CHRISTMAS TREE TOPPER...
When four of Santa's elves got sick, the trainee elves did not produce toys as fast as the regular ones, and Santa began to feel the Pre-Christmas pressure.
Then Mrs Claus told Santa her Mother was coming to visit, which stressed Santa even more.
When he went to harness the reindeer, he found that three of them were about to give birth and two others had jumped the fence and were out, Heaven knows where.
Then when he began to load the sleigh, one of the floorboards cracked, the toy bag fell to the ground and all the toys were scattered.
Frustrated, Santa went in the house for a cup of apple cider and a shot of rum. When he went to the cupboard, he discovered the elves had drank all the cider and hidden the liquor. In his frustration, he accidentally dropped the cider jug, and it broke into hundreds of little glass pieces all over the kitchen floor. He went to get the broom and found the mice had eaten all the straw off the end of the broom.
Just then the doorbell rang, and irritated Santa marched to the door, yanked it open, and there stood a little angel with a great big Christmas tree.
The angel said very cheerfully, 'Merry Christmas, Santa. Isn't this a lovely day? I have a beautiful tree for you. Where would you like me to stick it?'
And so began the tradition of the little angel on top of the Christmas tree.

Here is the rest of the major players. Notably Simon Pegg as Scotty, John Cho as Sulu, and Karl Urban as Bones. I'm just not sure. We'll have to see how they do in the movie.

Apparently, this guy is getting tortured in an American/Iraq prison. Seriously. So, I mean I'm all for being cordial when you don't agree with people, but I thought when we "liberated" Iraq, we gave them freedom of speech.
Guess not. Throwing shoes gets you waterboarded.
Is this considered a rigged election?
Not that I am complaining about the outcome - I'm just saying if you know the exact score going in, it it real?
No rogues this year. Maybe next time.

First you let them marry, then pretty soon they'll be stealing children - that is of course, unless you let them adopt.
The lesson in policy here? None. They're fucking penguins.

Management 101
A Japanese company and an American company Decided to have a canoe race on the Missouri River. Both teams practiced long and hard to reach their peak performance before the race.
On the big day, the Japanese won by a mile.
The Americans, very discouraged and depressed, decided to investigate the reason for the crushing defeat. A management team made up of senior management was formed to investigate and recommend appropriate action.
Their conclusion was the Japanese had 8 people rowing and 1 person steering, while the American team had 8 people steering and 1 person rowing.
Feeling a deeper study was in order, American management hired a consulting company and paid them a large amount of money for a second opinion. They advised, of course, that too many people were steering the boat, while not enough people were rowing.
Not sure of how to utilize that information, but wanting to prevent another loss to the Japanese, the rowing team's management structure was totally reorganized to 4 steering supervisors, 3 area steering superintendents and 1 assistant superintendent steering manager.
They also implemented a new performance system that would give the 1 Person rowing the boat greater incentive to work harder. It was called the "Rowing Team Quality First Program", with meetings, dinners and free pens for the rower. There was discussion of getting new paddles, canoes and other equipment, extra vacation days for practices and bonuses.
The next year the Japanese won by two miles.
Humiliated, the American management laid off the rower for poor performance, halted development of a new canoe, sold the paddles, and canceled all capital investments for new equipment. The money saved was distributed to the Senior Executives as bonuses and the next year's racing Team was outsourced to India.
The End.

SRSLY?
Did they not think before they named the game? Did one person in the boardroom say, "Hey, you know - this is a pretty awful commercial script when taken out of context. Can we think of something else?"

Speaking as someone who HAS jumped into a parade...
Harder than it looks. One tip - always make sure you are at the VERY BACK of the parade. Otherwise, people yell at you. Assholes. Ruining our fun...
Someone's a debater...
...and an idiot. I would however, like to give a moment of appreciation for all the idiots out there who exist for my own amusement.
