seriouslythough:

I played soccer until college. The game has apparently changed.

Holy shit. I was always told to “watch the elbows” in high school. Which led me to master the art of giving someone the shoulder. You can put all of your weight into the other player as well as fly under the ref’s radar. It serves you well at bars too. I have seen and experienced (and probably given my fare share of) some shit on a soccer field, but I’ve never seen that level of dirty play. Yet, she only got a yellow card.

Maybe she just doesn’t like Mormons, maybe she’s got too much mercury in her diet, maybe she’s a horrible human being. Nevertheless she played dirty and she lost the game, but she’s on ESPN. Lesson?

Wow… that shit wouldn’t fly in roller derby, much less soccer. What the hell is wrong with that kid?

We’ve been joking about Rock Casbah doing this all day.

Mitchell: You had your own moments. You had cheerleading, and high school plays, and making out with the quarterback...
Claire: Oh come on, you made out with him, too.
Mitchell: Yeah, but we had to keep it a secret.

Oh Modern Family, how I Love this show.

Found two vintage fridges on craigslist. I found one locally for $100 that’s in moderate condition. But then I found a slightly better one with more freezer space for $400 in San Antonio. It was kept in a church so it’s really wellkept. But they haven’t emailed me back!

Come, please! I’m going for the cheaper one if I haven’t heard from the church by 11. I’ve been thinking about this since 6. The wait is killing me!

Any advice for rehabbing or moving a fridge?

19 People Shot at Fort Hood

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 14:58:17 -0600

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/

At least seven people are dead and 12 wounded in a shooting at Fort Hood in Texas, the base’s public affairs office told NBC News on Thursday.

The official would not give his name nor additional details. It was unknown whether victims are soldiers or civilians. One gunman was reportedly in custody and another was on the loose, NBC News said. A third shooter may be involved, according to NBC News affiliate KCEN, which said the person had opened fire on the SWAT team at the base.

KCEN reported that a policeman was among those KCEN in Waco reported that the second suspect may be holed up in a building on the post.

Greg Schannep, an aide to U.S. Rep. John Carter, told the Austin American-Statesman that he was on the Army post to attend a graduation service. He said that as he neared the entrance of a building where the service was being held, a soldier with blood on his uniform ran past him and said a man was shooting.

Schannep told the newspaper that the shootings appeared to have occurred in a complex near a theater where the service was scheduled. He was with the injured soldier, who he said appeared to have been struck in the shoulder but did not have life-threatening injuries.

According to unconfirmed reports, one of the shooters was being surrounded by police in the 42006 building on Fort Hood. That source told KCEN the shooter has a high-powered rifle.

The base was reportedly on lockdown. The Killeen Independent School District said all Fort Hood schools are on lockdown.

Temple ISD is on a “soft” lockdown. Parents will be able to pick their children up at the normal times, though they may experience delays.

FBI agents were reportedly on the way to the post.

Fort Hood is adjacent to Killeen, and 60 miles northeast of Austin. The sprawling complex is home to at least 4,929 active duty officers and 45,414 enlisted. Civilian employees total nearly 9,000.

Army spokesman Lt. Col. Lee M. Packnett said he was unaware if security measures were put in place at other military bases.

“At this point I do not know,” Packnett said.

President Barack Obama was briefed on the shootings, according to spokesman Robert Gibbs.

Fort Hood has seen other violence in recent years. In September 2008, a 21-year-old 1st Cavalry Division soldier shot his lieutenant to death and then killed himself. Spc. Jody Michael Wirawan of Eagle River, Alaska. shot himself to death after shooting 1st Lt. Robert Bartlett Fletcher, 24, of Jensen Beach, Fla. to death.

Ok, two massive edits to this recipe:

1. FUCK FOIL. That is just the stupidest thing you could do for a sticky recipe. A silicone pan would work best, but through trial and error I use my regular nonstick pan.

2. Unless you’re going to serve this beast immediately, do no use marshmallows. USE FLUFF!

Hohoho, that face.

I had an insight last week dealing with the Cambodian Genocide party debacle. It’s mildly ok to have a nazi at a costume party, better as a zombie nazi, but still it’s one dude. Probably best not to over-engage the dude in conversation, but you’ve still got a whole party.

1 nazi costume at a party = ok

a whole bunch of nazi costumes at a party = a rally
