MOVED: CNN - "Did we do that?!"

@Gargantua:

I noticed that through all the media, the hype, the advertising, and the online discussions, that no one is mentioning “Dumb and Dumberer”, like it’s some forgotten plague.

Anyone have any comments on that?

Yeah… where the heck did Ebola go? Must hibernate for Christmas…

@LHoffman:

@Gargantua:

I found the tiger portion frustrating.�  I felt the Tiger could have easily shifted/braked a single track to maximize it’s turn radius, and that what we observed was just more Brad Pitt has to be a superstar syndrome.

Seconded! I felt a little let down by it. I wanted the Tiger to be more of a drawn out enemy or challenge rather than some non-descript Boss that they get to defeat in 5 min.

I think they did a good Job with BoB and the Tiger Scene (even though it was the same Tiger I on a T34 Chassis like in saving Ryan).
He hidd, striked ,rolled out and cleared the field and retreated with the whole Battalion.
Lot of things BoB showed was well performed.

I like Band of Brothers.

@Gargantua:

Driving excavation machinery, your tracks are independent.

And even so, better to “test/pressure” your track in the dirt, than die.

Yeah with a T34 anytime, not so with a Tiger I&II.
Bad Tiger commander Garg  :-D. Go get me Wittmann!! :-)

@CWO:

Here’s an odd historical footnote to the Syria situation, involving yesterday’s vote by the House of Commons on British Prime Minister David Cameron’s motion to authorize the principle of military strikes by Britain against Syria.  The “principle” part was a watering down of what Cameron originally wanted, which was the actual authorization to use force, but Cameron’s motion was nevertheless defeated by 285 votes to 272.  Cameron thus became the first British Prime Minister in 231 years to lose a Parliamentary vote on military action, the last one being Lord North, who, in 1782, saw Parliament vote against further fighting in the American Revolution and thus effectively concede independence to the American colonies.

Well I never! Good to know. Thanks again Marc.

@froodster:

I think it can happen often. Even if you are unhappy with each other, if you are smart you can negotiate a fair deal that reflects what the courts would probably award without spending $80,000 on lawyers.

Yeah I think it would be stupid to stay in a relationship for so long that the other person is so crazy angry that all they want to do is spite you and take all your money and belongings. If they are just a bitch you were silly to get married to that person.

To me, chili does not include spaghetti.  That’s just a Yankee thing to do.  :-)

:-D

Good points, but what if you applied it to abortion as we have applied other parts or added ammendments for blacks, hmm?

@F_alk:

Thanks for clearing that up…but, well the true patriot needs no flag to wave, but stays in his country and helps when the cr*p is piling up ;). Of course, he/she can warn before, but from an artist i would be disappointed if that warning was not metaphorical or otherwise creative.

You are welcome.

I enjoy artistic metaphors…Lewis Carroll comes immediately to mind.

Though here in the US the “STARS” do things like…

Steven Spielberg digitally remove the weapons, from the government officials in their decontamination suits, when he rereleased “ET” a second time. I think it odd that he did that in an anti-gun move. The idea was that they had guns so they were ‘bad guys.’

and

The “Charlie’s Angels” movie was made with the ‘good girls’ not carrying guns. Yet they defeat the ‘bad guys’ carrying Uzzies, etc… The original Angels were packing heat.
