2008 Picture of the Year

Kurt Russell Is One Bad Motherfucker

On par with Bruce Willis imo. This scene from "The Thing" illustrates my point:



He uses a fucking flamethrower! I highly recommend people watch "The Thing," it's both hilarious and scary as fuck (sometimes it's a mix between the two).

A Perfectly Cromulent Word

Now all I need is for them to add "intenseful" and I'll be completely happy.

Nothing to get excited about: The indifferent 'meh' gains place in English dictionary

LONDON (AP) _ At least someone is excited about "meh."

The expression of indifference or boredom has gained a place in the Collins English Dictionary after generating a surprising amount of enthusiasm among lexicographers.

Publisher HarperCollins announced Monday the word had been chosen from terms suggested by the public for inclusion in the dictionary's 30th anniversary edition, to be published next year.

The origins of "meh" are murky, but the term grew in popularity after being used in a 2001 episode of "The Simpsons" in which Homer suggests a day trip to his children Bart and Lisa.

"They both just reply 'meh' and keep watching TV," said Cormac McKeown, head of content at Collins Dictionaries.

The dictionary defines "meh" as an expression of indifference or boredom, or an adjective meaning mediocre or boring. Examples given by the dictionary include "the Canadian election was so meh."

The dictionary's compilers said the word originated in North America, spread through the Internet and was now entering British spoken English.

"This is a new interjection from the U.S. that seems to have inveigled its way into common speech over here," McKeown said. "Internet forums and e-mail are playing a big part in formalizing the spellings of vocal interjections like these. A couple of other examples would be 'hmm' and 'heh.'

"Meh" was selected by Collins after it asked people to submit words they use in conversation that are not in the dictionary. Other suggestions included jargonaut, a fan of jargon; frenemy, an enemy disguised as a friend; and huggles, a hybrid of hugs and snuggles.

Nothing Like Bad Service At Harlem Hospital

Went for my second appointment in two months, and boy do they care about their patients! [/sarcasm] I was there for about four hours just to get my flu shot. At least the doctor I saw this time wasn't a fucking twat like the asshat from two months ago.

A few quotes from my time over there:

Lady talking to someone using a hospital phone while crying (presumably about insurance): "YOU CAN'T GET NOTHIN' DONE WITHOUT CUSSIN SOMEONE OUT. I TRIED TO SHOW YOU SOME RESPECT AND I ASK THAT YA'LL DO THE SAME! PEOPLE GOTS TA CUSS IN ORDER TO GET WHAT THEY WANT- IT'S SAD BUT IT'S TRUE."

Black dude who'd been waiting since 11:30 AM (Around 3:30 PM at this point)- "DEM BLACK DOMINICANS GOT IT BAD. IN AMERICA, IF YOU BLACK AND YOU DON'T KNOW ENGLISH, YOU IN TROUBLE!" "NAW MAN, AMERICA RAPED VIETNAM."

Same black dude waiting since 11:30 AM (Around 5 PM at this point): "THIS IS CRAZY RIGHT HEAH. I BEEN WAITIN SINCE 11:30, AND FOUR DOCTAZ GONE TO DINNAH..." *Fifth one leaves as he says this* "...AND NOW FIVE, DATS GREAT."

And of course, various people muttering cusses as they leave after waiting five hours for a rectal exam. Can't say I blame them.
