Women and guns

womenandguns 4

Call me weird but there’s something strangely arousing  sexy interesting about seeing a woman operate a gun. Amy Stein’s collection of photo’s caters for my erm interests. She also has some non gun photos that are also worth checkin’ out.

Happy (Chinese) New Year

February 7, 2008

rat 725634

Not that i like to use the words ‘Chinese’ and ‘Rat’ in the same sentence but it’s official – it’s the year of the rat!

The Rat was welcomed in ancient times as a protector and bringer of material prosperity. It is the first of the 12-year cycle of animals which appear in the Chinese zodiac related to the Chinese calendar. Rat is associated with aggression, wealth, charm, and order, yet also associated with death, war, the occult, pestilence, and atrocities.

Apparantly Chinese expecting women have been forcefully delaying birth as it’s considered very good luck to have a baby in the year of the rat. Funny how different cultures work things…

Speed Restrict Foreigners

February 7, 2008

Donie Cassidy, the leader of the Seanad today put forward a suggestion that all foreign drivers be placed under a speed limit of 80kmph on Irish Roads. Also that we as a country should seriously consider changing over to driving on the ‘other side of the road’.

Considering we can’t even enforce the current road traffic act with Irish people I really am at a loss to see how this would be policed. Not to even mention that this just feels a bit borderline racist!

What about foreigners / tourists who rent cars?

What about people who have lived here years and have passed the Irish test but drive a foreign registered car?

Shouldn’t we be concentrating on the current problems on our roads without having to think up complete hairbrainers?

What next? Ask people from Cork and other counties to drive at a set speed limit once they come into Dublin….hmm now there’s an idea…

Home of the Brave

February 7, 2008

homeofthebraveposter

When i saw this had been released to DVD i couldn’t understand how this had escaped the radar when it was in the cinemas. Samuel L, 50 cent (erm) and Jessica Biel are part of the line up and really without knowing much more then seeing the advert i rented it last night.

The film starts with how all of their paths have crossed whilst on a tour in Iraq. Some of the military background to the film should have been in my view made better. The start of the film tries too hard to be a Black Hawk Down and is a bit of a blunderfest. (No one fires an M16 assault rifle one handed sideways like a gangsta in the army)

The film itself is a follow on from their tour and seeing how they cope with everyday life when they come home. No heroes parade, burying their dead comrades, dealing with life long injuries and of course living with what they’ve had to do in Iraq.

It’s a funny kind of film and i’m really between two minds. It’s a good film when it’s believable and it’s borderline silly when it’s not. It reminds me a lot like the program called ‘Over There’ that ran for one season a couple years back.

The acting is good from, well the people who are actors. The only thing believable about 50 cent is that he’s muscle enough for the army, thats where it ends. I could see this film being more popular in America than anywhere in Europe.

Verdict? If you are into that post-war-sydrome kinda flick, it’s for you, otherwise i’d leave it on the shelf. Take a gander at the trailer…

That landing just blew my head!

You’d think 2 things after seeing this photo;

1) Is it AerArran ?

2) Is it photoshopped?

Nope and Nope. It’s one of the smallest runways in the world and with that has a very small approach and is on the island of Saint-Barthélemy, or St Barts, in the French West Indies.

Despite the apparent dangers, there have been only two fatal accidents at the airport over the years.

Ah well at least they count the dead people i guess! I’d say the guy in the convertible mini is SHITTING it!

The size of yer mans tentacle!

tentacle 02

So at best your struggling to conjure up ideas about what to get your loved one this Valentines Day. For any females viewing, let me speak for the males and say your boyfriend would LOVE this. Who doesn’t want a squiddy arm?? Plus it has many plus sides for the lady:

  • No more annoying groping
  • If you get fed up of his advances just stick him to a clear surface and walk off
  • NO other girls will dare advance on your fella once he’s wearing a green tentacle arm

While we’ve been using our primitive, apelike arms like a bunch of jerks, the squids of the world have been clutching their prey with their superior tentacles and laughing at us. Until now! For the first time, you can have tentacles of your very own. Equipped with suction cups and plenty of creepy greenness.

It practically sells itself! And ideal for anyone who is currently suffering from chicken pox. Just buy two so scratching is out the window! For $15 it’s a steal!

Itch free pyjamas

February 6, 2008

npyjama105

I’l be honest, I’m not the pyjama type. I saw this first in the Metro paper and just laughed. The models just looked like 2 sperms looking for better aero-dynamics.
These are the pyjamas the Travel Lodge will be providing to customers after they received complaints of either being too hot or too cold. I dont know about you but if i were in a hotel room, be it on my own or with a partner there is no way on earth i’d worm my way into one of these jump suits. (maybe if i was drunk enough)

The pyjamas have been developed for Travelodge, the hotel chain, which carried out a survey to discover what kept people awake.

The study surveyed 3,000 adults and found that 23 per cent suffer from itchy nightclothes, which stops them from getting a good night’s sleep.

Being too hot or cold is a common complaint, with 66 per cent confirming that their body temperature changes constantly throughout the night, which affects their sleep pattern.

They actually looks as if they’ve been designed so that they don’t have to clean the bedsheets afterwards or to literally stop the bed bugs biting! Would you trust a hotel that you had to dress up like a forensic detective at a homocide scene just in order to be the correct temperature?
