I bought a bottle of Tullamore Dew last weekend. I didn't really know what to expect but I must say that it's good stuff. Low-Key, do you drink it neat? Mix? If so what with?

no, not 'made in taiwan,' but actually in taiwan.. i thought you might enjoy some photos of yours truly engaging in heathen activities while wearing my new sparlock t-shirt.

i'm not really a taoist/buddhist, but sporting the warrior wizard shirt while burning incense in the temple made me feel like some kind of naughty double-apostate .

the one-hundred+ year-old wu fu ("five fortunes") temple, near my apartment.

Who Like Me, Feel That The Olympics Are About As Exciting To Watch As A Dog Turd Turning White?

I'm with Low-Key. BOOOORING!!!

I think that incorporating the MotoCross Des Nations into the Olympics would be a positive thing towards making the games less terrible.

Penn State pays for covering up Sandusky crimes, BIG TIME

by talesin in

this sends a clear message to other universities who may be harboring child molesters.. excerpt:.

the sanctions by the governing body of college sports, which capped eight months of turmoil on the central pennsylvania campus, stopped short of delivering the "death penalty" of shutting down the sport.

but the ncaa hit penn state with $60 million in fines, ordered it out of the postseason for four years, and will cap scholarships at 20 below the normal limit for four years.. other sanctions five years' probation, and the ncaa also said that any current or incoming football players are free to immediately transfer and compete at another school.. ncaa president mark emmert announced the staggering sanctions at a news conference in indianapolis.

I'm in the middle of reading the Freeh report. It's long and detailed, extremely detailed. So far what I've seen is that the guys like the A.D. and the University President were the ones who were the ringleaders of the coverup. I believe that they really tried to use Paterno as a scapegoat in the end. Don't get me wrong, Paterno was at least somewhat culpable but I think that his greatest error was trusting these people above him. I think that they deserve criminal prosecution at least as severe as Sandusky got.

Maybe I'm wrong but that's the feeling I get.

Horrific Violence in Today's Movies.

by ohiocowboy in

i found an article today that discusses the new batman movie.

growing up, i remember the batman and robin tv show from the 1960's, and i assumed that the dark knight movies would be along the same lines.

boy, was i wrong!!!

I really feel that it's an extension of the fact that in our very essence we are an incredibly violent species. Any social conditioning towards peaceful behavior seems to go out the window when people are put under the slightest of pressures. I sometimes find it hard to believe that there are 7 billion people on the planet considering how much we love to kill each other. I guess it just shows how much we like to f*** each other too.

Now I think I'll go play Call Of Duty.
