Just browsin' what the Drudge-meister has posted today, an' found these li'l gems:

A scene from The Godfather re-enacted in Real Life.

A bunch of actors (who portray potential terrorists) were detained in the UK.

And then two Jordanians and a Lebanese man were arrested in a Terror Plot bust.

Then there is the whole UAE / Port / GWB thing. That will be an entire other post...

Grrrrrrr...

Huzzah!

Found two new quizzes.

The first is the "Which Fantasy/Sci-Fi Character are you?"

My result:

Struggling for self-assurance over hidden angst, you are highly adept and full of surprises.

I find your lack of faith disturbing.

Anakin Skywalker is a character in the Star Wars universe. The Star Wars Databank profiles his life story.

Next is the "Which Heinlein Book Should You Have Been A Character In?"

And the answer is...

You belong in Starship Troopers. Your idea of a good time is bouncing across an alien battlefield blasting the foes of humanity into extinction.

Which Heinlein Book Should You Have Been A Character In?
brought to you by Quizilla

Suh-weet!!!!!!

Found both of these links off of the Heinlein Blog via a link from Raging_Dave over at 4RWWS.

Now, if only Anakin had not been played by Hayden "Canna-Act-Mah-Way-Outta-A-Paperbag" Christensen.

Well, using some newly learned intel, I made The Decision... for better or for worse, it is done. I am hoping that the new info I have pans out to be a better decision.

We will see...

So... here is a quick tip. If you play WoW, and you are Alliance, and you find a Horde character that you would like to PvP / Gank, make certain that it is NOT The Wife, and if you decide to go ahead ANYWAY, make certain that you are able to finish what you have started. Funniest thing is to see someone gank her (usually while she is fighting something else), and she comes right back to make that person her Prison Bitch... more than once.

Best one that I saw tonight was a Night Elf Druid (two levels higher) who got the drop on her (again, fighting something else and over halfway dead). The NED (<-- heheh, Ned) player was actually able to move around pretty good so she had a hard time landing hits (her main is a Undead Rogue). Both got down to "Next hit wins", and the NED decided to run. Wife decides she doesn't want to run after... so waits for him to get to what he thinks is a safe distance... and throws a knife into his back.

Someone had a long run back from the graveyard, an' it wasn't The Wife.

Now, before you jump in an' say "well she is a Rogue, and the guy was only a caster two levels higher, she shoulda finished him easy", realize that she is 6 months pregnant with our third child, and usually plays only using the mouse while holding one child and the other is jumping on her legs.

Let the Laughing at NED commence.

Meanwhile, I am waiting FOREVER (because I will not spend money for a Fileplanet account) to D/L the latest patch for Battlefield 2 (1.2 patch). Speaking of all things BF2, I hear that they are going to be adding tanks with three gears for reverse soon.

Only 2.5 days left to make a decision.

Not a normal, everyday, do-I-want-frys-with-that type of decision. More of a this-will-affect-my-career-and-family's-quality-of-life type of decision.

Tick-tock, tick-tock.

And no, I am not enlisting... yet...

In other not-me news, me no-likie the direction this particular trend is heading.

And I found this lovely little jewel while over at Froggy's place. You know, stuff like that really grinds my gears. My favorite part of the article is the EXTREME apologetic explaining away of how they were so expertly confused and could not ever possibly provide a location to our military.

"Both times, the Taliban made sure we could not provide their location to the U.S. military. An NBC producer was taken on a confusing seven hour odyssey to an unknown location, where Ismail then appeared."

Hmmm....

Dinna I JUST link to something that could help? Or, mebbe even go more drastic. And, yes, it is easy for me to say this since I am not directly involved, however, why couldn't something similar to the scene in True Lies, where they come in with a gun in the camera? Take one for the team, ya know?

Instead, we get things like this -- and this -- and this. The last link has one of the more foreshadowing quotes:

Interviewer: What are your future plans?

Bin Laden: You'll see them and hear about them in the media, God willing.

...

...

WTF?!?! You expecting him to say "I'm thinking about going to a Lakers game, an' mebbe stop by Sea World."?!?!?!

And that whole mentality is summed up here, and given proof positive here.

All it takes is one reporter's life to eliminate some of these vermin, and deny them access to our media, since they would be too paranoid about assassination.

Yay, assassination!
