  1. I hate, with unrivaled passion, when people say, "Happy Memorial Day!" Especially when said with shallow exuberance. To me, and I may be taking this a shade too far with my analogy but, it's the equivalent of someone singing Booby McFerrin's 'Don't Worry, Be Happy' at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Not only does it make the person sound like a complete moron, it's undeniably disrespectful. The real problem is that instead of everyone around them immediately returning a look of death, it mostly goes unnoticed except by the one or two who actually understand the meaning of this day of days.

     

    Memorial day is a time to be thankful of our fallen Soldiers, Marines, Seamen, Airmen, and Coast Guardsmen who have given their lives for our country whether we agree with why they died or not. Sure, you can be happy that your friends and family are near and good times are being had, but please do not forget the reason for this most somber of memorials.

     

    I don't have a problem with barbecues, family gatherings, baseball games, motorcycle rides (many of which are organized by veterans), but I hope that during today's holiday festivities, everyone takes some time to look around and realize that where they are and who they are with would not have been possible if the Veterans we memorialize hadn't given their lives to protect these precious and blood-earned possibilities.

     

    It is said that a person dies twice. The first time, physically and the second, when their name is spoken aloud for the last time. If you know of a Soldier, Marine, Airmen, Seamen, or Coast Guardsman who has passed away either in the line of duty or after their service, remember and think of them often.

     

    As this Memorial Day wains into twilight, I hope you have, at the very least, stood and watched an American flag whip through the wind, felt the Star Spangled Banner in your chest, or pledged allegiance to the very flag which these Veterans died to honor and protect. Veteran's are why we, as ungrateful and forgetting as we often are, are still here. We are forever and undeniably indebted to them.

     

    Both of my grandfathers served. Miller H. Roberts, USN and Robert L. Kipps, USMC. Neither are with us now. I'd also like to mention Patrick "Pat" Tillman, US Army, killed by friendly fire, April 22, 2004 in Afghanistan. I ask that you share, if you will please, the name of one or two veteran's who you care about and would like to remember. Please remember them. The few who have given, without hesitation, what is most precious.

  2. Just read about this. Sounds pretty cool, but then again, Google has been known to share information. I bet they will be using the information you upload to do more target marketing, possibly copyright infringement enforcement if you upload a coded file you are not supposed to have, to your cloud. We'll see.

  3. Last night I was having some wings and beer with a coworker after work. There were these two pretty, but kinda fat girls drinking at the bar and being loud. They had what I could have sworn was a Scottish accent.

     

    I'm a big fan of girls from the UK, so I struck up a conversation. I asked them, "So... you two ladies are from Scotland?"

     

    I could see immediately that I had offended them. The brunette scowled and said, hotly, "WALES!"

     

    I apologized and said, "I'm sorry. Are you two whales from Scotland?"

  4. i think Notch might have got the word out (on twitter) just in time :)

     

    And if Notch likes it, then we know it's good. Except for what he likes that isn't good of course.

  5. IN THE BAG BABY!!!!

     

    Apparently, Notch, the creator of Minecraft made some request or bet or something. I am trying to find out now. I know that the $7,500 reward was taken. Maybe he purchased it and others to notice.

  6. Less than 6k to go at 1652 EST!!! WOO HOO.

     

    It looks like the people who were holding out, have decided to pay up.

     

    I'm not one to prematurely tally my hens, but this is looking fantastic!

  7. Project Update #23: FINAL UPDATE: The last push! New reward added to get your name in the credits!

    As we come down the home stretch, we want to spend a special thanks to all of you who have pledged, and even more so to those who have spent time spreading the word.

     

    At this point, things are coming in tight. If we continue at our current rate, we will be JUST short of our goal. BUT, if everyone that has pledged increased their pledge by $15, or got another person to pledge $15, we WILL make it.

     

    To encourage that, we have added a new reward, at the $60 level, you will get your name in the credits in a special section reserved JUST for Kickstarters. Everyone who has already pledged more than that will automatically get this if we make it, but we encourage them to up by just $15 as well!

     

    20 hours left, it is still possible to make it if you help make it happen. Regardless, we appreciate your support and passion!

     

    Thanks,

    MAKE SURE YOU DO!!!

     

    I pledged $75. Match me SPARTANS and FRIENDS!!!! Or else we'll be fighting in the shade.

  8. I see two ways to interpret this, steel. One, you want to see Medic and his wife getting it on. Two, you want to see Medic's wife's bare chest. Now, lets analyze these...

     

    If one, you're a creeper.

     

    If two, you're a dead man.

     

     

    Choose your poison, Sir.

    Or better yet, maybe he wants to see MY tits.

  9. This is Beautiful !! my fiance' is blonde.. I will ask the same.. let s see if i get divorced before even getting married !! :)

     

    However.. I trust my fiance' should be a bit smarter than that ;)

     

    I wouldn't if I were you. My wife is still pissed off. She said it was insulting.
