We Have SRB Separation

By Jon, March 27, 2009 10:46 am

I’m extremely gay for NASA videos. They’ve always found ways to cover their launches from every possible angle. And the one below is one that I haven’t seen before, of the solid rocket boosters separating from Discovery during her launch on March 15th.

It may be vertigo inducing, but the views are tremendous. Discovery returns to Earth on Saturday afternoon, where it’s scheduled to return to the Kennedy Space Center after 1:30pm.

I Think OJ Killed Bill Walsh

By Jon, August 2, 2007 11:33 am

I caught the audio of this OJ Simpson interview yesterday on O&A. It absolutely floored me as to how he handled the constant prank calls. Most of the guys are fans of the Kidd Chris show which airs on 94.1 WYSP; hence the Larry Mendte helmet sqeezing reference. Kidd Chris has been known for some rather excellent OJ prank calls during his time as a contributor to Howard Stern & O&A over the years. Thanks to With Leather & TMZ, here is the video of said interview:

OJ played the criminal justice system and got away with murder. Shit, he wrote a book about how he would have done it, but he didn’t, but if he did. He’s enjoying his post-football & post-murder lifestyle … notice the casual attire in the video. The Juice would have to be an idiot to think that he wouldn’t get pwned during a call in talk show. Asshole.

My favorite line:
Caller: “Hey OJ, remember when you played for the 49ers?”
OJ: “Yeah”
Caller: “Did you kill Bill Walsh?”

Absolutely fantastic stuff.

Watch Michael Moore Own Wolf Blitzer

By Jon, July 13, 2007 12:00 pm

Let me preface the rest of this post by saying that I am by no means a Michael Moore fan. I find him to be an acerbic and inflammatory individual that just rubs Middle America the wrong way through his films. His latest target is the U.S. health care industry in his documentary Sicko. We’ve all seen the trailer numerous times at this point, and we got the gist. Eventually I’ll end up seeing this, probably through Netflix. Recently Michael Moore appeared on Wolf Blitzer’s Situation Room. Right before the interview, CNN ran a piece in an attempt to eviscerate Moore’s argument. Check out the clip in it’s entirety and witness the puddle of piss around Wolf’s feet after Moore totally pwns him.

What the Frak Is Live Earth?

By Jon, July 6, 2007 3:21 pm

I tell you what it is, complete and utter bullshit. Why do we need a series of simultaneous concerts to promote environmental awareness? Because Al “I Invented the Internet” Gore says so. Well the true reason, according to the SOS website is that:

Live Earth is a 24-hour, 7-continent concert series taking place on 7/7/07 that will bring together more than 100 music artists and 2 billion people to trigger a global movement to solve the climate crisis.

Solving the climate crisis …. rrrrriiiiight. We better get started because Earth is about 10 minutes away from going all Waterworld on us. I’ll be Mad Max on a catamaran before the end of the year. Mark my words. I have a hard time believing in all of this liberal environmental bullshit. I think we have a better chance of a zombie apocalypse before another Ice Age rolls in.

I just don’t get why all this spectacle is necessary. I find it self-indulgent on behalf of Al Gore and the rest of his environmentalist pals. We’ll just end up with a bunch of self-important musicians proselytizing from the stage. I won’t be entertaining any of this liberal agenda bullshit this weekend. I’m going to go see Transformers one or two times, throw some aluminum cans in the regular trash, and light some tires on fire. Just doing my part to contribute to society.

Beware The Wrath of The Bearcat

By Jon, June 13, 2007 12:59 am

Currently I am a graduate student at the University of Cincinnati through the marvels of the Interweb. I’ll be able to complete my MSCJ in entirety without ever having to set foot on campus (the target date is Spring 2009). The current controversy in the Queen City is caused by a man by the name of Virgil Tuttle.

The 48 year old former student (last attended in 2004) has been arrested approximately 22 times by campus police. According the the UC Police Chief:

“I’ve tried and I know the officers have tried for over a decade to try to get Virgil to understand,” said UC Police Chief Eugene Ferrara. But “Virgil seems to think it’s all open to him.”

This is fantastic. Apparently no one in the UC Administration has ever been to Temple University. During my undergrad years I watched street hustlers sell bootleg DVDs and stolen Timberlands, homeless guys bathing in the Student Center bathrooms, and students get hit by cars in crosswalks.

All UC has is a former student who just can’t get enough of the college experience. Well, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer he may have been enjoying it a little too much:

He’s been found all over campus all sorts of times in all manners of consciousness, according to UC police reports: In April 2001, an officer found him dozing in a stall in a third-floor restroom, pants around his ankles. In August 2004, they found him relaxing in a math lounge, feet up, shoes off, lights out. In May 2005, he was in the bushes not far from the police station, drunk, a half-eaten pizza lying next to him.

I mean who hasn’t passed out in the bushes on campus? I’m pretty sure that most people have many similar indiscretions under their belts. Granted, Mr. Tuttle has no leg to stand on in court and it is clear that he doesn’t get the point. It is just an exercise in ridiculousness on both parties behalves. Go Bearcats!
