Speaking of. . .

Chimps With Attitude, now that's a rap group name for the ages! Not like The 25 Worst Rapper Names of All Time.

Tom and Oprah

While watching the jungle episode of "Planet Earth" on the Discovery Channel, the narrator (sexy human/Alien hybrid, Sigourney Weaver) spoke of a "posse of chimpanzees".

I was really hoping that a group of chimps was called a "Posse".
It turns out they aren't, but, I found out this other cool stuff.

Daisey and the fundamentalists

For them what hadn't heard, the Christians rose against Mike.

Do not go gentle into that good night.

A gun is a tool no better or no worse than any other tool. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.

-Alan Ladd, "Shane"

Turn it up!

Will it blend?

Dirtybird is Depressed

As one or two of you may know, I enjoy guns, pyrotechnics, and assorted other kinds of manly fun. This "Internet" business has been a boon to those proclivities; I can find information, and also other people who enjoy the same unusual hobbies I do.

I've been posting here and there on various discussion boards, talking to these other fellows about a host of issues, mostly related to gear or guns. Recently, I found the discussion boards at Kifaru - the makers of the coolest backpacks and pouches I've ever seen.

At the Kifaru boards, I've gotten into some politicial discussions. I just finished one there that depressed me all to hell. In it, I argued for respect, tolerance, cooperation, and compromise. For that, I pretty much got my ass handed to me. Amongst these fellows, there can be no compromise.

Anyway, if you feel like a long, pointless read with a depressing ending, here it is:

Muse - Knights Of Cydonia

Now that's what I call a music video!
