Hey guys, sorry I haven't been on much lately. I got a job, and I haven't had too much time to come on, but I'll get in the swing of things and get back on.

"The other versions will disappear. Even the 35 million tapes of Star Wars out there won’t last more than 30 or 40 years. A hundred years from now, the only version of the movie that anyone will remember will be the DVD version [of the Special Edition], and you’ll be able to project it on a 20’ by 40’ screen with perfect quality. I think it’s the director’s prerogative, not the studio’s to go back and reinvent a movie." - George Lucas

If I got paid for coming on here, I would. Even for a third the pay.

Cannibal attack - Interesting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What did he think he was Shia LaBeouf and tried to eat up all the bodies?! Next thing you know he'll get down on all fours and break into a sprint!

Seriously though, really unfortunate news. Big disappointment is the comments section spouting bullshit about using tranq guns; asking the officer to attempt to physically grab the assailant to pry him off.

why don't they use tranquilizer guns instead of live ammo?

@poque74

thats fair enough mate, tnx.

I live in a country were firearms are illegal,, even a stungun will bring charges under our firearms act so my views on these type of stories are, im sure very different to those from other countries.

But it just seems like madness that a cop can react with lethal force to this kind of incident and be hailed a hero.
I admit i dont have all the facts of this story and i dont mean to judge the cop here either, but he's taken a life and thats a big deal.


While I am a big Chuck fan I recognize that tranq guns in real life are likely to take several minutes to take effect. It's not like the Star Trek stun settings where it knocks a person out immediately. Further asking someone to try to physically subdue the growling cannibalistic madman. Well just reading that sentence should give you an idea why that's not a good solution either.

I can honestly see now why this country is in such a state. Having seen some of the comments on here saying just pull him off, or use tranquilizer...just proves that peoples IQ's have dropped to single digits in some cases.

A person is eating another guys face, and you expect him to be tranqualised, and watch him carry on eating it while it takes effects....I suppose you would go and get him a drink as well to help wash it down.

Young80 said:

Some people have very weird views. If the officer didn't shot then maybe the victim would be dead. If a life of someone is at risk then lethal action is acceptable. You can't wait till a life has been taken then kill him.
How do you know he's mental as well? People don't nothing theses days.
I think the officer did what needed to be done. He took action there and then none of this playing about.


Look I'm not saying every incident with an aggressive assailant should be solved with the death of said assailant. However he was actively harming, what might be considered, his hostage. The whole point of not shooting at a guy with a hostage at say gunpoint is that there's a chance that you might harm the hostage just gunning for the guy. This guy was actively a meal for the other guy. Just, just, no the cop did the right thing.

Oh yeah and, Bath Salts - Check

So I feel like I haven't posted enough here. Will try to remedy that.

Someone just tried to get a password reset on my disabled Facebook account. One of you trying to masquerade as me to get more clips from ESBR?

Or was it just Bingo forgetting what he set my password to when he was me?

I enjoyed that post, Twist. Good thoughts. I think Nomnom99 hit the nail on the head there.

well about month ago a robin made a nest in the bend of the gutter right in front of the kitchen window of my house.    We watched it make the nest, sit on the eggs,  and feed its babies once the eggs hatched.    Once the babies got big enough,  they all left the nest.   My mom, who knows a little bit about birds, told me that once a bird is done with a nest, that it is for the nest.   Birds do not reuse an old nest.  So, after being told to do so by my mother, I knocked the nest down.  

A day latter, which was last Saturday, another Robin starts building a nest in the exact same spot!  It has finished the nest and is now sitting on its eggs.

So I looked up one little 5 min review of a Google Chromebook on Youtube because I was mildly interested. After said video I knew I did not want. Now Google chromebook reviews are infesting my Youtube recommended videos like a damn virus! Get away! Go! Shoosh I don't want you!!!

Ugh, the feelings I am feeling are not good at all! :(

Also my signature will soon be completely gone. Details to follow later.

Glad you liked my post CP3S. Much agreed.

Chromebooks are good for a second computer if you don't like tablets. My Cr-48 is pretty speedy, but this new generation would be extra nice, much faster. And they have the new version of the OS, they haven't rolled that down to the 48s yet.

The general consensus is that US robins don't re-use old nests but European robins (which are an entirely different species) do.

So you are in the clear Warb.

You didn't upset your feathered friend's hard work, in fact you helped him/her out by clearing what is clearly an advantageous spot of a dirty old nest so he/she can build a new one.

They will continue to lay until around July/August.

could someone please explain this to me?  

I go on youtube and find that someone has posted either an episode of a TV series on a movie, and that they posted it in several parts.  So you have to click on part 1 and watch it, then click on part 2 and watch that and so on.   I've it happen in multiple instances that I'll watch some parts of a story then when I click on the next one, I find that it was blocked on copyright grounds.   Now I can understand blocking a whole episode or movie on copyright grounds,  but just a single part?   Why would they, for example,  block part 4 of a story, but leave parts 1,2,3, and 5 alone? 

It makes no sense and it aggravates me.   I'd rather click on part 1 and find out the whole thing had been  blocked, than click on and watch parts 1-3,  get into the story, and then find out that part 4 is blocked.

Yeah but, I'm thinking of replacing my current one not just get a second one.

In some instances there's a song in the theoretical "part 4" that gets the attention of the music auto detection. The other parts lack this thus are available for viewing. Other times I have little clue since the user attempted to upload the video again, just flipped, and it works...

Warbler ever pervasive slayer of the rat population!

Anyways, so by approx. two weeks I'll be deleting my sig. One reason why is that if you click the link it no longer shows the 2011 results rather the 2012 best in show results. Another reason is that I just don't like having a sig and avatar here... I don't know why I just don't. Given that I like bats in a level of magnitude far greater than I do Chuck the sig will soon have to go.
