Yeah, I know he's based out of Mobile.  The article the link goes to has been updated/changed.  When I originally linked it the "weather map" showed the entire state of Alabama in a red "tornado watch" zone along with Mississippi and most of Louisiana.

Smarmy is ducking and covering...

Lots of tornado warnings here, but nothing other than a little rain.  Northern Alabama and other parts of the Midwest have not been so lucky.


Hello Mrs. Cleaver, Theodore.

Gee, Mrs. Cleaver ... That certainly is a lovely dress.

The King in Yellow

Casilda's Song, put to fairly convincing music:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aL9Uwigd3JQ

This YouTube clip is a promo for a low budget movie.  Use your mouse and jump to 1:12 where the song begins.

Worth five minutes, easily.

Watch the video and spot the strange mistake in the credits at the end. (Nothing sinister...just a wierd thing to mistake.  Did you spot it?)

Attribution to Ambrose Bierce instead of Robert Chambers?  Yeh, that's odd.  Although Bierce was the first writer to mention Carcosa (and Hastur, for that matter), Chambers was the one who wrote Casillda's Song.

Yes - Weird, isn't it?

A strange detail to get wrong.

The original Star Wars conceptual artist has passed away.

Of all his works, this one in particular was my fave:

I recall getting the Star Wars sketchbooks when I was a kid and not a single one of their bindings survived.

Sad that he's gone.

This eBay auction is a real winner. Surprising that WD-40 and a four pack isn't included with it.

His art work will live on, though.

If you guys were fans of the early Star Wars movies, maybe you can tell me something....

What was with the corporate logo of Ralston Purina doing on the doors inside the Death Star?

Way off topic, but does anyone here have experience with the Glock 19 gen 4? PM me if so.

Hey everyone,

I was just wondering, is anyone on the forum playing Mass Effect 3?

Best regards,
Ronald

Sorry Bombadil I have a Glock 19 Gen 2. Can't help ya with the Gen 4.

Yes Ronald, actually hit pause to write this reply to you about Mass Effect 3. I really enjoy it so far.

Nope, just a Glock 21C 45 ACP, which is one of my favorites.

Ugh. The .45 is just too big a firearm for me to conceal easily on my person, and the ammo costs WAY too much to target shoot the way I do. That's why I chose the 19, smaller and cheap to practice with. :)

Well I'm interested in conceal and am left handed. As I understand it the 19 gen 4 is ambidextrous. In general, is the Glock durable and reliable? Have read some things about spent casings jamming or flying into your face.
