Best Golf shot ever?

Now sure about that, but Fuzzy and hole in one makes for my site to get banned from the porn filters.

Thank you Charles for the link.

Timelapse gone bad

ok, we've all seen the recent entries of time lapse photo's that span months and years. Well, finally someone has done a take off on this theme. The boys at oldenglish.org have done good.

I need to watch that a few more times, catch something new every time. haha

Our Man Flint takes on Global Warming

I barely remember watching this as a kid and thought it was as serious as any Bond movie. Little did I know it was a parody, until I watched it again this weekend. And Oh-Boy!! Is this thing great. If you ever wondered where Mike Meyers got his ideas for Austin Powers, look no further. Except Derek Flint has great teeth, a lot less hair, and performs a combination judo chop/Spock Pinch for a lethal combination.

It should first be noted that the special effects are what can be expected for the 60's. The miniatures are obvious miniatures, the karate is badly choreographed, the music/dancing is overboard and stereotypes are not only used, but terribly exploited. That includes the use of woman as pleasure units which for the record I am greatly greatly offended by.

The story starts off with Al Gore's Global Warming striking fear into ...um...no sorry, that's from Southpark. Perhaps if they decide to remake the Flint movies, they can use that idea. No, this story revolves around someone evil that is demonstrating they can control the world's weather, and all the special agents that work for an UN type organization keep ending up dead. This organization is called Zonal Organization World Intelligence Espionage...yes...haha...ZOWIE! And they have a special super computer that allows all members to put in the necessary criteria they feel is needed by a super agent to get the job done. If you ever wonder how punch cards use to work and don't have the opportunity to ask an actual 60's era programmer like NM, then watch this for edumcation purposes only. lol...needless to say, the supercomputer picked the same man for the job for every criteria entered...FLINT!!!

Trailer can be found here .
I don't want to go into the complete story line...I really recommend this as a must watch. But if you can't resist, here is a good spoiler .

But a few things that just made me love this movie:

• Red Phone hotline to the President. Same ring tone used by Austin Powers.
  
• Since this is in the 60's before Al Gore officially invented the Internet, Hollywood was not aware of a packet switching network. So an air Tube system is used to dispense real time data. haha
  
• Flint takes an old style revolving men's hand towels from the dispenser, and wraps it around his head in a turban. turning his black tuxedo jacket inside out , and putting on some dark glasses he is easily disguised as an Arab. To Clear a room with a hidden bomb, he Yells "Allah!!!" and fires his gun wildly into the air. This was a beautiful scene. A later scene shows a Rabi as a personal driver to one of the lynch men.
  
• Hot chic adversary tossing a book titled "The adventure of .0008" and sighs "If there were only such a man".
• No man can take out flint, but an Eagle appears to have no problems.
  
• Flint: Say, why is that Eagle attacking after me?
• Guard: It's been trained to recognize and attack Americans
• Flint: Anti American Eagle....it's diabolical!
• Main Drill MegaThrust. Innocent name for the main drilling machine...right.
• Electro Fragmatizer- Sending one man to escort flint to death chamber = one fragged guard. Duh!
• Reward Room + Viagra happy chewable + Pleasure Units = Guards that are useless to take out Flint.
• Male snot nose adversary "Rodney" whines whines whines after getting his butt kicked by flint takes off his sports jacket to reveal a huge Metal Claw hand. Okaaayyyy, not only does the transition look silly, but he slings it around like a fairy. Come on man!!! This is Flint!!! It's gonna take Chuck Norris and Ninja's working together to take this guy out and this is the best baddie you have?
• Evil adversary's lair consist of Bikini clad women, jugglers, girls jumping on trampolines, women walking with fruit on their head, playing games, and basically lounging on this island paradise. Deplorable....just deplorable.
  
• Bond may get his girl at the end, But Derik Flint gets 4, no 5 women in the end

What did you do during the Zombie War?

I was listing the NPR's Talk of the Nation, took a call, and then realize they were off the subject and talking about...could it be....Zombies? LOL...I don't think I've laughed so hard listening to the host and Author staying in character during a caller's attempt to derail the conversation. This has got to be the most entertaining piece I have heard on NPR

You can listen to the interview here.
