Lester Green was born in Jersey City, New Jersey to Christopher Palid and Laura Green. Christopher, whose brother earned $20,000 a year working as a circus freak, tried to get Lester hired by the Ringling Brothers circus in 1975, but Laura opted to provide a proper education for her son. He also has microcephaly, which gives him his characteristic small head relative to his already small body. Lester's nickname "Beetlejuice" was given to him by children in Marion Garden projects in Jersey City, New Jersey, where he lived with his sister Lisa. The children used to pick on him because of a scene in the film Beetlejuice featuring a character's shrunken head. And much to my surprise, not only is he still alive, but he wants to fight Mike Tyson. After which, he probably won't be alive anymore.

Ahh, it seems like yesterday.... May 14th of 2002 for Ike and almost seven years to the day. But yes, Ike and Bianca are still alive and kicking, albeit at a much slower pace than they used to. A few months shy of 16 years old, mostly deaf, and mostly blind with cataracts -- fucking $3500 for cataract surgery -- Ike does more sleeping now than anything else. He can't chase balls anymore since he really can't see them, but still enjoys a mean game of tug-o-war. His taste buds have refined in their old age; he no longer eats plain lettuce and prefers white wine over red, rum over vodka, and won't touch whiskey at all anymore. He gets around the house pretty good, presuming we don't change the layout of anything, so I haven't gone so far as to buy/built him any sort of bump-proof suit. By best estimates, Bianca will be turning 13 years old, so she isn't too far behind him, although she does have more pep in her step and will occasionally jump into the pool to play and chase her ball. They both want for nothing and hopefully, will both stick around for a while longer.

So that brings up up to date on all of the photo challenges I've iussued so far, except for the fact that no one has been able to find this shoe store. So why don't you use these pools to help find what hotel this blonde is staying at?

In case you needed a reminder that they just do things a little differently over there in Russia, check out the story of the 16-year-old Russian kid who was rewarded for being the 100,000th visitor to a online video game store, with a month of living with Russian porn star Macy Ssens. Of course, the “prize” of living with a porn star for a month doesn't necessarily denote any kind of sexual attention, but Macy Ssens appears to be leaving everything on the table, making the vague statement that “life is life.”

This Has Been The Longest Week Of The Year So Far.

Walk down the aisle of a grocery store and you'll see a plethora of bottled water on the shelves. Amidst generic brands and bottles emblazoned with mountains and tranquil scenes are sleek plastic vessels simply labeled "smartwater." The tagline "H20 with a 4.0" is on the inside of the bottle, though smartwater doesn't make any claims on its bottle that Smartwater improves mental function in any way.

You want to see fucking absurd? You want to fucking stupid? You want to see fucking dangerous? Scroll down and play the first fucking video for these guys, it's fucking hysterical. So for those of you here on Planet Reality, who are still jelly over my $189 Taurus PT-111 Millennium Pro G2 -- which has been very tough to find lately due to it's low cost -- Kentucky Gun Company has some they are selling them for $209 shipped. It's tough to find more, well, bang for your buck. Presume you don't plan on defending yourself with an app.

The Belgian draft horse, also known as Belgian Heavy Horse, is a draft horse breed from the Brabant region of modern Belgium. Typically standing stands between 16.2 and 17 hands tall -- 66 and 68 inches -- and weighing slightly over 2,000 pounds, it is one of the strongest of the heavy breeds. Belgians are still used as working animals, but have also become popular as show horses, and pleasure riding horses. Belgian horses are able to pull tremendous weights; at the National Western Stock Show in Denver, Colorado, a team of two horses in the Heavyweight class pulled 17,000 pounds a distance of 7 ft 2 in. And while this horse drawn carriage probably isn't quite that heavy, I'd still like you to find it on Streetview.

And I've actually got a handful of people who were able to track down the treet in which this bicycle is chained to. So while I can't promise Victoria's Secret gift cards to anyone, I can promise I'm going to compile the emails and post them on Monday. In the meantime, where is this ONE WAY sign?

FRIDAY FLICK; "This record here's about twelve years old. Parliament buried it and it stayed buried until River here dug it up. This is what they were afraid she knew. And they were right to fear. There's a universe of folk who're gonna know it, too. Someone *has to* speak for these people. Y'all got on this boat for different reasons, but y'all come to the same place. So now I'm asking more of you than I have before. Maybe all. Sure as I know anything, I know this - they will try again. Maybe on another world, maybe on this very ground swept clean. A year from now, ten? They'll swing back to the belief that they can make people... better. And I do not hold to that. So no more runnin'. I aim to misbehave." Normally I use Youtube links, but I couldn't find Serenity there, so I have to use this one instead. Also, here are all of the episodes from the series and if you're a fan, some some subtle (and some not so subtle) Firefly references on Fillion's next show, Castle. You're welcome.

I Keep Forgetting To Change The Fucking Title.

Omid Scheybani's iPhone photos of North Korea may be surprising if you only think of NK as a militarized Communist grey blob. They show kids on roller skates, playing ping pong, and more, but they also indicate just how closed off and stuck in a different era North Korean society is.

QUICK, NO TIME TO EXPLAIN! I need to use an ATM do I can buy some beads. Where am I headed?

I do believe this is the video to which you refer. And I'm not entirely convinced this next photo challenge is even solvable, so at first I was going to look up some in on the manufacturer of this bicycle and do a blase post on that, but you know what? You folks have been pulling off some fucking miracles lately so let's see if anyone can find the tree where this bike is chained up.

Generally I'm pretty 'meh' about hockey, but I can appreciate what a fantastic fucking save this was.

How do you know the most recent ammo rush is dead and gone? Easy, ammunition is available by the pallet again. Also, can I borrow $21,420.83? Thank you in advance. Still no word on when Walmart is going to put .22 ammo back up to check its online availablity tho.

An inflatable boat is a lightweight boat constructed with its sides and bow made of flexible tubes containing pressurised gas. For smaller boats, the floor and hull is often flexible, while for boats longer than 10 feet, the floor typically consists of three to five rigid plywood or aluminium sheets fixed between the tubes, but not joined rigidly together. Often the transom is rigid, providing a location and structure for mounting an outboard motor. These boats are often used by special-operations units of the armed forces of several nations, for such purposes as landing on beaches. Because inflatable craft can be stored compactly they can also be transported on midget submarines such as those operated by the Advanced SEAL Delivery System.

Man This Weekend Can't Get Here Fast Enough. And It's Only Fucking Wednesday.

And I know this one will produce a few groans at first, because of how Germany is with privacy and Google Streetview, but since this is taken in a commercial area, odds are you should be able to show me where DHL is making a delivery. Oh, and an addendum to yesterday's DOOM post: when you preorder the game for Xbox One, they will include free copies of Doom I and Doom II so you can kick it old school.

So I've been in the market for an Inox companion to my little Beretta 84FS (on the left compared to a 92FS). Ergonomically speaking, it is by far the most comfortable handgun I own. Wveryone who holds it -- from little teenie tiny women to big meaty clawed guys -- instantly falls in love with it. Generally speaking, the Inox versions tend to run a little more expensive than the black finish, about $800 on up. Of course by now you've scrolled down and noticed this one for $400 which instantly drew my attention and my apprehension. Usually when the seller doesn't specify an exact location (e.g. Cape Coral, Florida versus just Florida) that's the first clue the ad is a scam. I've put out a feeler because hey, maybe it's a great deal, so we'll see what happens. And no, this would not be to carry, otherwise I'd just grab a Ruger LCP on sale for $199. But I'm looking for a nice collector piece I can keep as a safe queen.

Finding the general locale of this next photo will be a piece of cake. Finding out exactly where Mr Whippy's Ice Cream is however, will prove more challenging.

If you're a huge fan of the Terminator franchise, you have two options at this point. You can buy a toy T-800 endoskeleton, or you can buy the T-1 prototype new Atlas robot by Boston Dynamics. Your call.

And while some Las Vegas photo challenges are easier than others, some are too easy to even be challenging. For example, it doesn't take too much sleuthing to determine this photo was taken from the Hooters casino, looking overtop the Hooters sign towards the MGM. Likewise, we've all seen this view from the Cosmopolitan before, looking over the Bellagio's fountain towards Paris. But can you show me where this hood ornament is staying?

What's The Matter, A Bog-Jumper Got Your Tongue?

I'm back from a crazy eight weeks at Kos, the Greek Island. Full of sex, sun, sea, and STD's. May I just add that the Greeks, are fucking lunitics. Beating the shit out of two girls for looking the wrong way, breaking the back of another girl with a moter bike, for standing in the way, and rape, being part of their culture, are just some of the beautiful features you can enjoy, in sunny, 'scarface' Kos. Fucked up! Anyway it was around 5:30am, myself and my girlfriend and my two mates are walking back to our apartment, after drinking Bar Street dry, Irish style. I have literally drunk enough alcohol to tranquilize a herd of elephants. I'm the walking dead at this stage. I dont even think the four of us talked in that walk, which for my part can only be described as, a floating experience. All I wanted to do was get one of those big ass, BSE riddlied rat burgers, in a place that should have been called The Last Supper. Never look inside a burger bun in a place you think is a shit hole, if you wanna eat it, without puking. Just close your eyes and think of a whooper BK style. I once decided to think of this girls pussy, but when juice from the burger started squirting in my mouth, and a lump slide down my throught I vomited on a little girl standing under me.

So the crouching tiger hidden dragon style floating ended. 'The last supper' joint was across the road. We all crossed except me. I think I was trying to pump myself up, either that, or I was having a staring competition with the building, either way, I lost. When all of a sudden this shouting across the street caught my attention. At this stage everything I'm doing seems in slow motion. My eyes fall upon this Greek guy shouting some Greek shit at a lady, and hitting her in the chest in between her breasts. Then it hit me, I know those tits, and this lady aint no ordinary lady, this lady is my girlfriend. This Greek motherfucker is shouting some telletubby language and hitting my girl. Now what you've got to realize is that I have a very short fuse, and being black belt at Kenpo, to help curb my anger, doesn't help, cause my discipline sucks. What suprised me most was how calm and collective I was. Sedated by the drink, no doubt. Slow motion. I blinked and started walking towards this Greek guy.

One thing you have to know about the greeks are, they will always go that extra mile in a fight, so if you're going to get involved, you have to let go of yourself, and put that bitch down. My girlfrends back is to me, and the Greek guy is facing her as I walk towards them. All in one movement, I walk till I'm beside her, Greek boy still shouting, his eyes fall on me, and Matrix style, i.e. it felt as though I had all the time in the world, I wound up and uppercutted the wanker in mid sentence.

This fucker lifted *off the ground*. It was like watching a move in WWF, with one exception. This was real, and this was scary. There was a crunching sound, as his teeth slammed together with a loud *bang* and he severed off the tip of his own tongue. Now I hear, the tongue is the quickest healing part of the body, but guy ain't no lobster and this motherfuckeing tongue ain't ever coming back. As his body went down, the now ownerless piece of tongue muscle flew up into the air, landing with a flop beside its recent ex-owner. Blood didn't just trickle down this mans chin, it squirted, and, oh my god, was there alot of blood. Like little fountains of pressurized liquid shooting from his mouth. He tried to put his hands over it, but the blood just trickled down the cracks and gaps, of his fingers. The man lay on the floor, in shock and twitching from the ordeal, blood running down his neck and making a twisted looking necklace, his tongue having flopped beside him. It looked pretty fucking funny if you ask me, a bloody piece of raw tongue twitching around like a goldfish when it's bowl was knocked over on the kitchen countertop.

The freaky part of this incident, was when the Greek guy, who at this stage was saturated in his own blood (how much blood can there fucking be in a tongue??), started to try to talk or cry, or something. Lying on his back, he would open his mouth, spit out whatever he had collected in there at this stage and, try to make noises. He kept flicking out the stump of his tongue, moving his mouth, trying to make words but only ejaculating our these gurgling noises like he was some EuroTard. Experiment: Curl your tongue to the back of your mouth, to simulate little to no tongue. Done it. Now try to fucking talk. Everytime he tried to say something, there was a gurgling, sqwelching sound, as the stump, involuntarily hit off the gathering saliva and blood.

Anyway, my girl then thought it appropriate to start screaming, as if there wasnt enough attention on me already. The lad lay on the ground putting his hand over his mouth, eyes wide open in shock, probably from finding out he couldn't talk. My pulse didnt even rise, I was in a mode and I was calm. I don't remember the next bit, but my girlfriend told me, that I stooped down, picked up the tongue with my thumb and index finger, put it in the breast pocket of the guys shirt, patted him on the shoulder, and walked in to get a fuckoff kingsized cheese burger, chips and a coke. Apparently I didnt have to pay for the meal either. This event spread like wildfire, and I was nicknamed "DA KID", from that day on. As in the Karate kid. Enjoy, and fuck the Greeks... Irish Emmet

Well, looks like I'll see about those holsters come Friday! And here are today's very best deals on ammo, including a few places with free shipping.

Electronic article surveillance is a technological method for preventing shoplifting from retail stores, pilferage of books from libraries or removal of properties from office buildings. Special tags are fixed to merchandise or books. These tags are removed or deactivated by the clerks when the item is properly bought or checked out. At the exits of the store, a detection system sounds an alarm or otherwise alerts the staff when it senses active tags. Some stores also have detection systems at the entrance to the restrooms that sound an alarm if someone tries to take unpaid merchandise with them into the restroom.

As mentioned a weekend ago, the upcoming installment of Doom is set to release on May 13, 2016, which is said to be a reboot by developers id Software. Right now GameStop is offering gamers an exclusive double-sided poster if they pre-order Doom, though you'll want to make sure you're early as these posters are only available while supplies last. If that's not enough for you, customers who pre-order the game will also be granted the Demon multiplayer pack which comes with a demon-themed armor set, six metallic paints, three ID logo patterns, and lastly, six hack modules.

A cooling tower is a heat rejection device which rejects waste heat to the atmosphere through the cooling of a water stream to a lower temperature. Cooling towers vary in size from small roof-top units to very large hyperboloid structures that can be up to 660 ft tall and 330 ft in diameter, or rectangular structures that can be over 130 ft tall and 260 ft long. The hyperboloid cooling towers are often associated with nuclear power plants, although they are also used to some extent in some large chemical and other industrial plants.

Just Like Julie Bowen, I'm Cleaning Out My Junk Drawer.

As I've previously mentioned before with photo challenges, I really try to stick to good quality images; it's ascertain important clues, and they're simply better quality material. Whenever I find low quality images that I'd like to use -- and by low quality I don't mean the person in the photo, but the image itself might be blurry or grainy -- I always stick them into a junk folder to see if I can find higher resolution versions later on. Sometimes I'm successful and sometimes I'm not. So take a a sneak peak into some of my unsucessful junk pictures and see what you can do: what building is across from this short brick wall? An apartment building? A movie theater, perhaps? And where is this Burger King that was visited on such a cloudy day. And if you're not into burgers, perhaps you can find this pizza parlor on Pacific Avenue? And of course we can wash those burgers and pizza down with a trip to a tavern, although with the bars on the windows, maybe it's not a very nice neighborhood.

The CAT S60 is the construction company's entry into the smartphone game, equipped with an array of Lepton thermal imaging sensors for -- among other things -- sight in absolute darkness. Also, as befitting a Caterpillar smartphone, the Caterpillar S60 is practically unbreakable, which is good for all the tripping and falling you're likely to do with it while staring at the screen in the dark.

Sometimes the car window will not roll up or down, or the car door handle will not open the door. Then you know it is time to take the inside door panel off. After disconnecting the power windows and power lock controls, use a wide flat putty knife to pry the bottom of the panel away from the metal part of the door. The panel is held to the metal part of the door by means of several plastic grommets, attached to the back of the cardboard panel that fit into holes. Gently pop the grommets out of their holes, trying not to rip them out of the cardboard panel. Gently lift the sill up out of its slot by the window and pull the panel away from the door, allowing you to see the internals and fix the problem.

Old and busted: Nike dropping Manny Pacquiao after he posts a Bible verse suggesting homosexuals should be put to death. The new hotness: Manny Pacquiao burning their Nike shoes in protest.

Philip Pullman is a British writer several best-selling books, most notably the fantasy trilogy His Dark Materials and the fictionalised biography of Jesus, The Good Man Jesus and the Scoundrel Christ.

Big Red Has A New Battery And a Full Tank Of Gas. Also, Its Value Just Doubled.

Passoa is a passion fruit liqueur made in France, with mango being one of the main ingredients, but also comes in pineapple, and coconut flavors. It is red colored and has an alcohol volume of 15 to 17% depending on the country. Passoa has been a best-selling liqueur in several national markets including Holland and Belgium.

Two years ago I posted about how I had come into posession of a little little Colt Junior -- the longer cartridge is a .357 Magnum next to one of the Junior's teeny tiny little .25 calliber mouse round; here's a Q-tip for comparison. I know, I know. A little .25 cal?! Hey if you're in gym shorts, it's better than nothing, amirite? And yes, that really did happen. Anyway, it's spent its entire life with me sitting in my safe, sans two trips to the range. Out of pure dumb luck, I was browsing around during my morning cup of coffee and stumbled across some Viridian Compact and Subcompact pocket holsters selling for a whopping -- wait for it -- $2.69 each. And that includes shipping. So eh, what the fuck. I mean worst case scenario, I'm out the cost of a imported draft beer.

Secondhand smoke is a serious health hazard causing more than 41,000 deaths per year. It can cause or make worse a wide range of damaging health effects in children and adults, including lung cancer, respiratory infections and asthma. So it's probably not a good idea to be tending to a baby right outside of a cigarette shop. I'd like to scold this mother for doing just that. Show me where I'm headed to!

While it's true what you say about Napoleon and Catherine the Great, I'm sorry to report this is not quite the location of our lion statue.

FRIDAY FLICK: During the Battle of Saipan, on 7 July 1944, Captain Sakae Oba partakes in a final banzai charge against the United States Marines Corps on the island of Saipan. It is the largest banzai charge of the Pacific War, but fails, resulting in over 4,000 Japanese deaths after 15 hours of close combat. American forces declare the island secure on 9 July, while Oba and a handful of survivors retreat into the jungle and begin a guerrilla-style war using Mount Tapochau as a base due to its natural defensive position and prominent heights overlooking every possible approach. With only 46 soldiers and 200 civilians at his disposal Oba – nicknamed "the Fox" by the Americans due to his cunning strategy – holds out for 512 days before surrendering on 1 December 1945, having lasted three months after Japan's capitulation following the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Oba marches down from the mountain with his remaining survivors singing a song of departure to fallen comrades and presents his sword to the American commander in a formal and dignified manner, surrender the last organized resistance of Japanese forces of the Second World War.

Is there a Breaking Bad themed coffee shop opening up in the United States, complete with hazmat suit donned baristas and a kitchen made to look like a Gustavo Fring-financed meth lab? You're God damn right.

Saving money is something that everyone strives to accomplish on a daily basis. Searching multiple store advertisements to see where to get the best price for the same product is often an essential part of the shopping experience. Grocery shopping with bulk food, however, is a different experience. Not only will it save you money, but it will save you time as well. One advantage of buying bulk food is that products are broken down into different size packages, allowing you to purchase only the quantity you need. Besides offering shoppers lower prices, bulk products reduce the amount of waste going into landfills and take less energy and other resources to produce.

And speaking of waste, two electric toothbrushes for one person? Maybe she got a buy-one-get-one free deal? If I were to start scanning the ads, what model am I looking for?

Clyde Bellecourt is a White Earth Ojibwe civil rights organizer noted for co-founding the American Indian Movement in 1968 with Dennis Banks, Herb Powless, and Eddie Benton Banai, among others. His older brother, the late Vernon Bellecourt, was also active. Clyde was the seventh of twelve children born to his parents on the White Earth Indian Reservation in northern Minnesota. His Ojibwe name is Nee-gon-we-way-we-dun which means "Thunder Before the Storm." And good Christ, I'm glad I'm not the only person who thinks Bernie Sanders sounds exactly like Larry David.

The Cathedral of Vasily the Blessed, commonly known as Saint Basil's Cathedral, is a church in Red Square in Moscow. Now a museum, the original building contained eight side churches arranged around the ninth, central church of Intercession; the tenth church was erected in 1588 over the grave of venerated local saint, Vasily. The building is shaped as a flame of a bonfire rising into the sky, a design that has no analogues in Russian architecture. Dmitry Shvidkovsky, in his book Russian Architecture and the West, states, "it is like no other Russian building. Nothing similar can be found in the entire millennium of Byzantine tradition from the fifth to fifteenth century ... a strangeness that astonishes by its unexpectedness, complexity and dazzling interleaving of the manifold details of its design." The cathedral foreshadowed the climax of Russian national architecture in the 17th century. And if you try to find that photo, by the way, you'll find there's a little too much construction going on to find the exact right spot.

Lions, particularly male lions, have been an important symbol for thousands of years and appear as a theme in cultures across Europe, Asia, and Africa. Despite the recorded incidents of attacks on humans, lions enjoy positive depiction in popular culture as creatures that appear strong, but gentle at the same time. The most consistent depiction is in keeping with their image of "king of the jungle" or "king of the beasts", hence lions are popular symbols of royalty and stateliness and a symbol of bravery. Find exactly where this King of the Jungle is protecting.

Remember it was just one short year ago when the Obama administration presented a convoluted rationale by which M855 -- the second most popular variety of ammunition used in the nation's most popular rifle -- was to be banned from sale to civilians? Here's a one year retrospective on the struggle to keep M855 safe and available to everyone.

If'n I'm not mistaken, your photo was taken right about here, the Kurfurstendamm U-Bahn station to the left, and the building with the -- for lack of better words -- "split stype pillar facade" on the right. I'm sure someone will correct me if I am wrong. Meanwhile, move along folks, nothing to see here, just Lyndsey Vonn doing pullups while wearing nothing but her painted on bikini. YOU ARE FUCKING WELCOME.

Paragliding is the recreational and competitive adventure sport of flying paragliders: lightweight, free-flying, foot-launched glider aircraft with no rigid primary structure. The pilot sits in a harness suspended below a fabric wing comprising a large number of interconnected baffled cells. Wing shape is maintained by the suspension lines, the pressure of air entering vents in the front of the wing, and the aerodynamic forces of the air flowing over the outside. Despite not using an engine, paragliders flight can last many hours and cover many hundreds of miles, though flights of one to two hours and covering some tens of miles are more the norm. By skillful exploitation of sources of lift, the pilot may gain height, often climbing to altitudes of a few thousand feet.

There Is So Much Hypocrisy Running Around Washington DC, It's A Wonder They Don't Drown In it.

Kitchen backsplashes no longer simply protect walls from spills and splatters, a wide array of eye-catching materials like glass, wood, metals and stone make the backsplash the focal point of today's kitchens. From traditional tile to trendy glass — and shiny metal to rustic wood — there is seemingly no end of choices for kitchen backsplashes today. "Tile is still the most popular backsplash material, with natural stone a fast-growing second," says John Morgan, 2013 National President of the National Kitchen and Bath Association.

When you look at these picturesd of Lindsey Vonn, know that she is completely nude, sans body paint. In facts, the Sports Illustrated 2016 Swimsuit covers have been unveiled: Ronda Rousey -- also nude with body paint -- Ashley Graham and Hailey Clauson and they each get their own cover photos.

My initial search for "Big Daddy's New Orleans" led me to this place, which obviously isn't the same one in this photo. A subsequent search turned up different results which apparently shows their new location, as verified by their Yelp photos. So with new orleans out of the running, show me exactly which entrance to the New York New York Casino has rocks and a black railing out front.

Rye is the trickiest of all whiskeys to define. While you would assume Rye whiskey must be made predominantly from Rye mash, this is not always the case. An American Rye whiskey must be made from a mash made from no less than 51% rye. The other ingredients commonly used include corn and barley. Same as Bourbon it must be aged in charred new oak barrels distilled to an ABV less than 80%, and like bourbon it must be no more than 62.5% when added to the cask. So when Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Rye hits a store shelf near you this month it will carry a price tag of $50 — a lot by Jack Daniel's standards, but hopefully worth it.

And perhaps one of you will be able to tell me what this is a bottle of; whatever it is, it's made by Revlon.

A Michigan man is accused of being an ISIS supporter after he told an undercover FBI agent that he wanted to shoot up a church to show his support for the terrorist group. Khalil Abu-Rayyan was first arrested on gun and drug charges last year, but now he has since been accused of attempting to commit terrorist related offenses by the FBI. He has not been formally charged with terrorism. When investigators asked Abu-Rayyan why he allegedly wanted to target a church, he said: 'It's easy, and a lot of people go there, plus people are not allowed to carry guns in church. Seriously, how much thought does it take to realize that people intent on doing harm don't give a rat's ass about a sign on the wall declaring a Gun Free Zone?

Examination Under Anesthesia.

"Being a healthy white male nearing 30, I didn't think about my asshole too much until recently. It's an oft neglected part of the body; wiped and washed when needed but otherwise left alone. Thing for me changed significantly over the last 3 weeks, and I've learned to never again ignore it. You see, about two years ago, I was diagnosed with IBS, or Irritable Bowel Syndrome. I had been experiencing incredible cramping sensations, the rectal/colon equivalent of dry-heaves, in the mornings when I awoke. It would often take hours for them to end. Doctors told me it was diet related, and that made sense. I had lived the previous 8 years on a diet solely consisting of red meat, imported beer, and the occasional starch with wine. This had been the problem, and a change was the solution. I was prescribed some Levbid anti-spasmodic drugs, told to eat right, and sent on my way. If only had that been the end...

Damage from IBS can come about in many forms. From sitting on the can for up to 2-3 hours at a time, and pushing when nothing was to be pushed, I had sprung an external hemorrhoid under the skin right next to my sphincter on the left side. It felt like a lump in my ass, and it hurt. I suppose it showed up initially about 4 years ago, and had gone through many stages of healing and re-emerging until recently. Over the last 10 months, it moved lower, deeper, and got bigger. It seemed to enter deeper into the flesh, protruded less, but increased in mass and size. Every so often, I'd find that it had swollen to massive dimensions, and upon a little push, "something" burst inside and I'd find blood and puss everywhere on my ass. Yum. I hate doctors. I hate hospitals. It takes a life-threatening injury to get me anywhere near either one. On more than one occasion, I very nearly passed out from pain on the commute to work from this lump, so I decided to get it checked out. Doc sends me to specialist, whom I will now refer to only as Sgt. Ass.

Sgt. Ass was a US Army Flight Surgeon before he took up the cause of small-town ass care. He's brutally honest with me from day one, and doesn't pull punches. Sgt. Ass proceeded to order up a colonoscopy, with an EUA (Examination Under Anesthesia) for the lump. My pics for the colonoscopy are still online. Trust me when I say you never want one. The prep includes drinking a massive amount of PowerShit(tm) laxative that cleans you out 100%, and spontaneously. All turned out OK with the colonoscopy, a pair of small internal hemorrhoids and a polyp (tested, benign), but the EUA didn't find my lump. How he missed it, I'll never know. On the follow up, 6 days later, I tell Sgt. Ass my ass still hurts, and the lump is swelling again. He looks, pokes, hears me shout "OW, FUCKER!" and thus orders me back into surgery the next day for another EUA and excision of this lump. Fucking great. Next day. I spend the morning sucking saltwater in the IV feed, and the early afternoon I'm wheeled back into the OR. All the staff look as if I've been there recently. I have. I'm given another dose or three of some complicatedly named drug concoction, and am out like a light.

An hour and so rolls by, and I am awakened by an urge to piss like a racehorse. I'm on my belly, and in my room at the hospital. I stand up, get to bathroom, and notice I'm wearing cotton mesh briefs as underwear. I knew this was going to get bad. I stand, can't piss, and overhear the nurse talking to my wife. "OH! Now I know why he thinks he needed to go, he had a catheter in OR." Oh, loverly. I don't piss, grumble something about anesthetics, and crawl into the bed on my belly. There is 60' of gauze packed into my crack, all held in by these mesh briefs. Doc comes in, expecting me to have a single shred of coherence. I don't, and depend on my wife to recant for me later. He has removed the lump, and some surrounding infected tissue. I'll notice some holes when I get around to it, packed with a little gauze. The gravity of this statement doesn't hit until the next day. I'm in serious pain, nurses come in and shoot me up with copious amounts of morphine. After wretching up my liquid diet lunch, Sgt. Ass decides I should stay overnight. Fine, I feel like shit anyway. My first piss finally happens, and hurts like hell. Catheter, I think. They were working on my asshole, not my dick. Well, the night was spent on Demerol and an anti-nausea drug. I barely slept, but did finally.

Sgt. Ass comes in the next AM for a follow up, looks me over, says I'm A-OK to go home. "Take that gauze out in a warm bath today," he says. Fine, let me the fuck out of here. I endure a rather mystical journey home, an hour drive and I'm holding my ass off the seat with both arms and legs. The drugs they have been pumping me full of are wearing thin, but I get home without killing my wife or anyone else.

Zoom to four hours later. I'm popping Codeine like they're Flintstones Chewables, and decide it's time to check out the damage and remove whatever Sgt. Ass left behind. I grab the hand mirror, hop into the bath, spread for the money shot and looked closely. This is the most disgusting and un-nerving thing I have ever seen in my life. I am missing ass. Missing. Gone. Outta here. Imagine an ice cream scoop about the diameter of a quarter. Imagine that scoop being used to gouge out 3/4" deep a 1.5" long football shaped hole about 1/4" to the left of the starfish. Another, much smaller hole is below, about dime sized. Both are packed with long strips of gauze. I nearly scream. It's obvious they are packed tightly with gauze, and it's time to pull them out. The next 45 minutes are spent between moments of blinding white pain when I pull the ends, and pauses where I curse the name Sgt. Ass and breathe deeply for a few minutes regaining composure. One and a half FEET of gauze comes out the first hole, about a foot from the second. What are left are gaping open wounds, bleeding and as tender as 3/4" deep gaping open holes would be. I spend the next few minutes thinking about how not to leave the bathtub, and then getting out. I go to the couch, pass out belly first, waking up only for another bath 6 hours later. Repeat for 5 days.

Today, it's been nearly 2 weeks. I'm finally sitting down occasionally, the drive to work is pretty rough. The holes are healing, mostly filling in where he dug UNDER the skin, but I can tell they are healing well. Last follow up was a week ago, Sgt. Ass says I'm to continue as I am. I wash my ass 4 times a day in the bath tub, and vigorously after a dump. I have half a Kotex Medium Day pad crammed into my crack to absorb blood and goo from the wounds. Every day, I change it 4-5 times. My wife laughs that we share now, I'm not sure how to retaliate for such insults at this time. Every so often, the healing wounds will heal too much, and I'll move and split one open. Anyone ever having "Road Rash" would know this feeling. I've never felt such an acute and painful sensation, but it's all a part of the healing process. Sgt. Ass claims I will be as good as gold in another pair of weeks. I'll never have my asshole shown in films, but the scarring is gonna be pretty light. Fortunately, I am a fast healer and am sticking to the regimen. Let this be a lesson to all who have an ass issue. Get it fixed before you have this kinda bullshit happen. Eat your fiber, vegetables, fruits, and try to keep the booze down to a 6'er a day." -- Goatmaster

A ream of paper is a quantity of sheets of the same size and quality. International standards organizations define the ream as 500 identical sheets. This ream of 500 sheets (20 quires of 25 sheets) is also known as a 'long' ream, and is gradually replacing the old value of 480 sheets, now known as a 'short' ream. Reams of 472 and 516 sheets are still current, but in retail outlets paper is typically sold in reams of 500. As an old UK and US unit, a perfect ream was equal to 516 sheets.

Shared workspaces are becoming more and more feasible as a business model, as more and more people join the army of freelancers that keep the world's supply of content flowing harmoniously.

The banjo is a four, five, or occasionally six-stringed instrument with a thin membrane stretched over a frame or cavity as a resonator, called the head, which is typically made of plastic, although animal skin is still occasionally but rarely used. The frame is typically circular. Early forms of the instrument were fashioned by Africans in America, adapted from African instruments of similar design. Historically, the banjo occupied a central place in African American traditional music, before becoming popular in the minstrel shows of the 19th century.

Interstate 405 -- usually pronounced four-oh-five -- is a major north–south Interstate Highway in Southern California. It is a bypass of Interstate 5, running along the western and southern parts of the Greater Los Angeles Area from Irvine in the south to near San Fernando in the north. The entire route is known as the northern segment of the San Diego Freeway. So you'll probably need to find the full gallery in order to show me where this 405 photo was taken.

The value of an old glass Gatorade bottle depends heavily on the condition and the age of the bottle. In 2014, such bottles have sold for around $10. Gatorade manufactured its sports drink in glass bottles from its first days of production in the 1960s until 1998, when it began using plastic bottles. With nearly 40 years of mass production, glass Gatorade bottles are found often enough, which lowers their value significantly.

You know, it's surprisingly challenging to find out who this 800 number belongs to.

Gentle reminder: six police officers killed in seven days; including five by gunfire. Total number of statements by the White House decrying violence against police, or these instances of gun violence? Absolutely fucking ZERO. So while everyday citizens are coming to police officers' aid, Tomi Lahren would like Beyonce to -- in the words of Navy Lieutenant Jordan O'Neil -- kindly suck her dick.

Terror from the Year 5000 is a 1958 American science fiction film directed by Robert J. Gurney Jr. starring Ward Costello, Joyce Holden, John Stratton, Salome Jens and Fred Herrick. The movie follows an international team embarks on an expedition to the moon in an uncommonly spacious rocketship. There they encounter a faceless alien intelligence who conclude that the human race is too immature and dangerous and must be destroyed. American International Pictures released the film as a double feature with The Screaming Skull. Terror from the Year 5000 bears one of the earliest film editing credits for Dede Allen, who went on to a noteworthy career editing The Hustler, Bonnie and Clyde, Dog Day Afternoon

During the years prior to the infamous Clinton Assault Weapons ban, a gun buyer could pick up a Norinco SKS for under $70. At the time, many American gun owners were leery of the inexpensive guns because the quality was unknown. Years later, however, the Nornico SKS has a reputation for being drop dead reliable and has passable accuracy. So if'n you get a hankering for a 1960's era Chinese manufactured -- read "solid as fuck" -- Norinco SKS, the guys at Southern Ohio Guns have some for $329, but let me give you one additional piece of advice: pay the extra $25 for a hand picked one because some of these guns have been issued.

A typical ship's wheel is composed of eight cylindrical wooden spokes (though sometimes as few as six or as many as ten) shaped like balusters and all joined at a central wooden hub or nave, sometimes covered with a brass nave plate, which housed the axle. The square hole at the centre of the hub through which the axle ran is called the drive square and was often lined with a brass plate, which was frequently etched with the name of the wheel's manufacturer. The wood used in construction of this type of ships wheel was most often either teak or mahogany, both of which are very durable tropical hardwoods capable of surviving the effects of salt water spray and regular use without significant decomposition.

Yelp's list of Top 100 Places to Eat in the US for 2016 honors businesses that rank so highly in the Yelp community's opinion that they have earned the status of “must try within this lifetime.” From fancy to casual, long time favorite to new up-and-comer, barbecue to udon, this list runs the gamut of gastronomical experiences.

FRIDAY FLICK: The whole world now knows... my son, Sean Mullen, was kidnapped, for ransom, three days ago. This is a recent photograph of him. Sean, if you're watching, we love you. And this... well, this is what waits for the man that took him. This is your ransom. Two million dollars in unmarked bills, just like you wanted. But this is as close as you'll ever get to it. You'll never see one dollar of this money, because no ransom will ever be paid for my son. Not one dime, not one penny. Instead, I'm offering this money as a reward on your head. Dead or alive, it doesn't matter. So congratulations, you've just become a two million dollar lottery ticket... except the odds are much, much better. Do you know anyone that wouldn't turn you in for two million dollars? I don't think you do. I doubt it. So wherever you go and whatever you do, this money will be tracking you down for all time. And to ensure that it does, to keep interest alive, I'm running a full-page ad in every major newspaper every Sunday... for as long as it takes. But... and this is your last chance... you return my son, alive, uninjured, I'll withdraw the bounty. With any luck you can simply disappear. Understand... you will never see this money. Not one dollar. So you still have a chance to do the right thing. If you don't, well, then, God be with you, because nobody else on this Earth will be.

If Youre Looking For Fuck All, You've Found The Right Place.

I like Bernie Sanders as a person. I really do. I think he's an all around good guy, he's (comparatively speaking) honest for a politician, he doesn't sling mud like the others do, and he genuinely wants to make life better for the voters of Vermont and the American people. And if there were a Nice Guy competition, he'd get my vote hands down. Unfortunately Bernie Sanders doesn't know fuck all about the economy. And the most frustrating part about Bernie Sanders not knowing fuck all about the economy is, it is impossible to convince a Bernie Sanders supporter that Bernie Sanders doesn't know fuck all about the economy. Because in order to support Bernie Sanders' economic policies, you have to not know fuck all about the economy to begin with. So with the next Presidential election coming up, which way do you prefer? Frank Underwood's way or the Purge's way?

Style was an iconic South African consumer magazine that was founded in 1981 and published by Caxton and CTP Publishers and Printers Limited. The magazine's founding editor was Marilyn Hattingh, who based the publication on American "city magazines", aimed at an upmarket readership of conspicuous consumers. The magazine was a highly influential chronicle of Johannesburg high society, and its tone was acerbic and often satirical. In late 2006, it was announced that Style magazine would be discontinued.

KangaROOS are an American brand of sneaker originally produced from 1979 through the 1980s, with a later revival that continues in present. They were notable for having a small zippered pocket on the side of the shoe, large enough for a small amount of loose change, keys, etc. He designed the sneakers for his own personal use as a place to store his keys and money, then marketed them effectively. His marketing design was successful, leading to sales in excess of 700,000 pairs a month by the early 1980s. By the end of the 1980s, the popularity of the sneakers was on the decline, executives departed the company and KangaROOS were quietly withdrawn from the market. However, nostalgia, combined with an appreciation both of the shoe's athletic design and its ubiquitous pocket, led to a reappearance of the shoe in the late 1990s. Today, KangaROOS are still sold in over sixty countries worldwide.

Okay, two Streetview challenges, the first is a softball. Wooden methods for storing wine or spirits range from smaller barrels to huge casks; the tastes yielded by French and American species of oak are slightly different, with French oak being subtler, while American oak gives stronger aromas. Show me where this wine was fermented American oak. And secondly, and a little more difficult, show me where I can park my motorcycle.

West Marine was founded in 1968 by Randy Repass in Sunnyvale, California with the name West Coast Ropes, selling nylon rope from his garage.

One of the biggest metrics used to compare games to each other is map size. This video, uploaded by YouTube user MarcoStyle, compares the size of The Division‘s map to Fallout 4 and Grand Theft Auto V, which are both incredibly large maps. All three maps are based on real-life cities -- Fallout 4 is an immaculate replica of Boston, GTA V mimics elements of Los Angeles, and The Division is meant to take place in Midtown Manhattan.

There Goes California, Leading The Charge To Fuck Things Up For Everybody.

The music, lyrics and laid back island attitude of Jimmy Buffett comes to life at this popular Orlando restaurant, Margaritaville. The main dining room was inspired by one of Jimmy Buffett's favorite South Florida waterfront concerts, and its three bars — The Volcano Bar, Land Shark Bar, and 12 Volt Bar — were themed around Jimmy Buffett songs. There's outdoor seating available on the Porch of Indecision, featuring a live guitarist to sing along with every night. Or you can just relax in colorful Adirondack chairs outside the restaurant and watch the world go by. Right next to Margaritaville is the Lone Palm Airport, featuring Jimmy Buffett's very own seaplane, the Hemisphere Dancer. This outdoor lounge and tiki bar serves a variety of drinks and quick eats under the wing of the plane, along with the "Parakeet Beach" area for the little ones to play in. And there's something for every Parrothead in the Smuggler's Hold merchandise store. In addition to caps, shirts, shorts, sandals and other apparel perfect for the beach or any occasion, you'll find beach bags, flags, posters, magnets, decals and stickers, signs and wall hangings.

On May 4, 1998, the United States Army's Armaments Research, Development and Engineering Center issued a solicitation requesting submissions for a new 12-gauge, semi-automatic combat shotgun for the US military. In response to the request, Benelli Armi SpA of Urbino, Italy designed and built the Benelli M4 Super 90 Combat Shotgun. On August 4, 1998, five samples of the M4 were delivered to Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, and after intense testing, the M4 had beaten the competition. In early 1999, ARDEC awarded the M1014 Joint Service Combat Shotgun contract to Heckler & Koch, American subsidiary for importation of the Benelli M4 Combat Shotgun. The first units (count of 20,000) were delivered to the United States Marine Corps in 1999. During testing, the prototype was named XM1014, but after adoption, the 'X' was dropped, and the weapon was officially designated the M1014 shotgun.

I suspect a basic familiarity of Florida landscapes should give you a pretty good idea where this photo was taken from. Quite the opposite from the Whirlpool refrigerator one, which to be quite honest, I didn't think anyone would be able to solve.

Curios & Relics firearms are defined in Title 27, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 478.11 as those "...of special interest to collectors by reason of some quality other than is associated with firearms intended for sporting use or as offensive or defensive weapons." To be recognized by ATF as a C&R firearm, a firearm must fall into at least one of the following three categories: Firearms manufactured more than 50 years prior to the current date, not including replicas; Firearms certified by the curator of a municipal, State, or Federal museum that exhibits firearms as curios or relics of museum interest; or any other firearms that derive a substantial part of their monetary value from the fact that they are novel, rare, bizarre, or because of their association with some historical figure, period, or event. C&R firearms include most manually operated and semi-automatic firearms used by a military force prior to 1966, including most firearms used by the warring nations in World War I and World War II. So it should come as no surprise to anyone that California Assembly Bill 1663, authored by California Assemblyman David Chiu (D-San Francisco, go fucking figure) and sponsored by gun-grabbing Attorney General Kamala Harris is seeking to reclassify some curios and relic firearms as "assault weapons" so that they can be banned under California's existing assault weapon ban.

When it comes to snacking within an hour or two of your bedtime, there's a few things to consider: First, research does link late-night calories to the potential for weight gain. One study found that eating right before turning in can make your snooze time more restless, and that sets you up for fatigue and binge eating the next day. Also, late-night noshing tends to be associated with stress eating, which leads to overindulging in high-fat comfort calories. So, any idea exactly what she's overindulging on?

Dry membranes, cracked lips and dry skin are some of the problems caused by dry air. This condition is worse in the bedroom because it causes uncomfortable, sleepless nights. You can use a humidifier to increase the condition of your room; however, this will take up more space in your room and increase your electricity bill. Fortunately, there are several ways to humidify the room without using a humidifier. A radiator heat in your room is an effective way to improve the moisture content in your room. It works when you place a pot or water container near the source of your radiator heat for the water to evaporate; this becomes humidity and thus moistens the air. You can also place a pan containing water directly on the radiator. Note that you do not have to place the dish of water directly on the heat for the evaporation to occur.

Many of us associate the power and value of a computer based on the capacity of its hard drive. To a certain extent, this is true. After all, newer (and presumably better) computer models come with robust hard drives. As you may know by now, this may not be enough what with the kind of computing needs and habits many people have. Those who download, upload and store large amounts of files know that a built-in hard drive is often insufficient to meet the needs of regular computer users. You could replace the drive entirely with a larger one, or you could turn to cloud-based data storage. Then, there is a third option - use external hard drives to grow beyond the limited capacity of your internal drive.

On a whim I've recently been looking to pick up a flamingo themed Hawaiian shirt. Based upon the background pattern of water/palm trees, I had thought my search ended when I found this one, but since that is clearly made in the United States, I am having a difficult time finding a place to buy one. Any ideas?

Self-filling water bottles might sound like some kind of made-up invention, but evidently modern technology makes such a thing quite possible. Fontus is a self-filling water bottle for your bicycle. This device collects the moisture contained in the air, condenses it and stores it as safe drinking water. Powered by solar cells, it can harvest up to one half liter of water per hour, under the right climatic conditions.

In early 2007 Steve Jobs announced the very first iPhone. Designed to “reinvent the phone,” Apple's iPhone has revolutionized smartphones and shaped the industry into what it is today. Apple's first iPhone debuted in 2007 with the trademark home button, a metal rear casing, and just a 3.5-inch display. Its capacitive touchscreen laid the foundations for modern smartphones. Apple's second iPhone was a big departure from the original. The iPhone 3G dropped in price thanks to a new plastic rear, but also gained 3G connectivity, GPS, third-party apps, and a distinctive white model to choose from. A rounded rear completed the look, and button placements remained the same.

If you've got a spare $5 million dollars laying around, you can actually buy the entire town of Nipton, Nevada, which was used as a model for Fallout: New Vegas.

Chainmail is a type of armor consisting of small metal rings linked together in a pattern to form a mesh. The earliest example of mail was found in a Dacian chieftain's burial located in Ciume?ti, Romania. Mail armor provided an effective defence against slashing blows by edged weapons and penetration by thrusting and piercing weapons; in fact, a study conducted at the Royal Armories at Leeds concluded that, "it is almost impossible to penetrate using any conventional medieval weapon." The flexibility of mail meant that a blow would often injure the wearer, potentially causing serious bruising or fractures, and it was a poor defence against blunt force trauma. Mail-clad warriors typically wore separate rigid helms for head protection.

So, what shop is this dog checking out?

Well, I Almost Forgot To Give This Post A Title.

The Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary was the first advanced learner's dictionary of English. It was first published 68 years ago. It is the largest English-language dictionary from Oxford University Press aimed at a non-native audience. Users with a more linguistic interest, requiring etymologies or copious references, usually prefer the Concise Oxford English Dictionary, or indeed the magnum opus, the Oxford English Dictionary, or other dictionaries aimed at speakers of English with native-level competence. There are explanations of common symbols (e.g. @), which are not included in any major competitor, and notes on interesting word origins. The Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary is easy to use, with a rapid-access page design, shortcuts to the right meaning in long entries, and easy definitions using a carefully chosen defining vocabulary of 3,000 words.

I have watched Back To The Future about a million times, and so I've watched Doc unload the Delorean just as many, but hell if I noticed just how impossible that scene would be. Also, I had mentioned before that Deloreans were making their way back to the market and the company has released their first commercial. I think Michael J Fox would have been the perfect spokesperson, presuming of course his body wasn't being ravaged by the likes of Parkinsons Disease.

FRIDAY FLICK: The 747 used in the Airport 1975 cost $30,000 per day to rent from American Airlines, and was originally delivered to American in 1971. It was a 747-123, registration number N9675, serial number 20390; the 136th 747 off the production line. Its basic American Airlines color scheme was modified to the notional Columbia Airlines colors for filming of exterior sequences. The evening taxi and takeoff shots were filmed as the plane, with the re-badged "Columbia Airlines" logo on the fuselage, was being delivered to Salt Lake City for the two days of filming. The aircraft was flown by United Parcel Services as a freighter until 2005. The aircraft, N9675, was destroyed on January 11, 2011 at the Roswell Industrial Air Center, where it had been in storage since 2006. Airport 1975 was second of four movies in the "Airport" series.

Shit, I don't know why I didn't catch that. Large image link is fix0red, as well. Also, show me where this car with a babyseat is parked.

The Daily Mail just released a list of the 50 most violent cities in the world -- 21 of those are in Brazil so enjoy the Olympics -- but 4 of them are here in the United States. Care to guess which ones? Care to guess the political affiliation of the mayor in all of those cities? You betcha. So if don't live in those communist occupied territories and are looking to feed your little pocket pistol, Selway Armory has a terrific deal goin on right now, brass cased .380 FMJ's for $0.21/round, which is cheaper than the shitty Russian steel cased ammo which beats up your ejectors.

In the United States there are several nationally recognized organizations that certify lifeguards. The American Red Cross Lifeguarding program, American Lifeguard Association, Jeff Ellis and Associates, the YMCA, Starfish Aquatics Institute's Starguard program, NASCO, and the Boy Scouts of America. The standard in open water surf training is the United States Lifesaving Association. The American Red Cross, USLA and Ellis and Associates establish standards which are universally adopted for lifeguard training. The first beach patrol in the United States was founded in 1891 in Atlantic City, New Jersey, and remains the oldest active beach patrol in the United States.

Seven Months Away And This Election Is Already Fucked.

Boy, do I have a photo challenge for you. So much so, that it's the ONLY challenge I'm going to issue today. Your goal is to show me where this Whirlpool refigerator is located. At first I had hoped the t-shirt would yield some clues, but unfortunately "Slave to Grave" is just an old 1990's slogan from Alien Workshop, so I don't think that's going to be any help. Instead, the large sign on the building in the background is going help narrow down a city, while a few clues from a close up of the refrigerator should get you into the right country. And if you'd like, you can view the original full size photo (3264x2448) here.

As a lifelong OAKLAND Raiders fan, one book I distinctly remember reading when I was growing up was Kenny Stabler's autiobiography, Snake. And something about an Impala SS he used to own when he played for Alabama? A 1964, was it? Anyway, he's now hitting the news that Kenny was diagnosed with Chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE for short. The Cliff Noterion is your brain starts to shrink after suffering a shit ton of concusions, like what happens to old football players. Before his disease progressed too far, he promised to donate his brain to medical research on the sdisease, and sure enough, Kenny was aman of his word.

A firearm suppressor, or silencer as it's known to Michael Bay fans, is a device attached to or part of the barrel of a firearm which reduces the amount of noise and visible muzzle flash generated by firing. Suppressors are typically constructed of a metal cylinder with internal baffles, functioning much like a car muffler, to reduce the sound of firing by slowing the escaping propellant gas. A new baffle-free Suppressor system was developed by a veteran of the SOF community to create a new and improved suppression system that is a huge jump from traditional suppressors. Being completely hearing safe with no overpressure in enclosed environments and providing incredible recoil reduction, the baffle-free design is truly remarkable. And given that regular .50 cal supressors normally run about $2,300 each, I can't wait to hear what the price of this one is going to be.

According to the most recent data released September 2015, rates of obesity now exceed 35 percent in three states (Arkansas, West Virginia and Mississippi), 22 states have rates above 30 percent, 45 states are above 25 percent, and every state is above 20 percent. Arkansas has the highest adult obesity rate at 35.9 percent, while Colorado has the lowest at 21.3 percent. Expect those numbers to rise sharply, as according to the folks at Burger King, the Extra Long Buttery Cheeseburger is “two beef patties topped with freshly cut onions, crisp iceberg lettuce, ketchup, melted American cheese, flavored butter sauce and a creamy mayonnaise spread, all served on a warm toasted hoagie bun.

Is that photo challenge too hard? Don't be a crybaby. Just show me where this red scooter is parked and quit whining, Whiner McWhinerton.

Chief Seattle was a leader of the Suquamish and Duwamish Native American tribes in what is now the state of Washington. A prominent figure among his people, he pursued a path of accommodation to white settlers, forming a personal relationship with "Doc" Maynard. In a letter in which Seattle pleaded that his name should die with the ceding of the Washington State territories, Seattle was puporteddly to have writtem, "Let him be just and deal kindly with my people, for the dead are not powerless. Dead, did I say? There is no death, only change of worlds." Unfortunately for that girl, this letter was later proven to have been a forgery, devised by television scriptwriter Ted Perry for a historical epic in 1971.

Amber is fossilized tree resin, which has been appreciated for its color and natural beauty since Neolithic times. Much valued from antiquity to the present as a gemstone, amber is made into a variety of decorative objects. Amber is used as an ingredient in perfumes, as a healing agent in folk medicine, and as jewelry dating back to the stone age from 13,000 years ago. Amber ornaments have been found in Mycenaean tombs and elsewhere across Europe. To this day it is used in the manufacture of smoking and glassblowing mouthpieces. Amber's place in culture and tradition lends it a tourism value; Palanga Amber Museum is dedicated to the fossilized resin.

Okay, past photo challengers will remember this photo of the Las Vegas Club, well a stones throw from there is exactly where this Honda Civic is parked. Show me. And lots of people were able to nail down the No Left Turn on Regent Street challenge from yesterday, so I'm going to give the shout out to Tiege who gave the most thorough response...

Well, since you obsviously ain't doing shit for Valentine's Day, here's your chance to score some dirt cheap Playstation games by Namco and Electronic Arts.

Trampolines have always been popular with families and recently there has been an increased interest in trampolining. Two of the biggest concerns among parents are safety and aesthetics. Addressing thiese concerns, a new trend in backyard design and play-equipment is installing the trampoline below ground, because an in–ground trampoline can be aesthetically pleasing while providing an excellent source of safe entertainment and exercise, something parents are eagerly searching for. If you are thinking about installing this type of trampoline, it is wise to get the best trampoline on the market.

And since the other Streetview challenge wasn't all that challenging, how's about you find the Czech Garnet next? Then do yourself a favor and follow these 10 smoking hot babes on Snapchat.

Alfonso John Romero is an American director, designer, programmer, and developer in the video game industry. He is best known as a co-founder of id Software and designer for many of their games, including Wolfenstein 3D, Dangerous Dave, Hexen, Doom and Quake. His game designs and development tools, along with new programming techniques created and implemented by id Software's lead programmer John D. Carmack, led to a mass popularization of the first person shooter, or FPS, in the 1990s. John Romero is credited with coining the FPS multiplayer term "deathmatch", and just recently released his first new Doom level in 21 years. You'll want to pay attention to what emulators you have to use, specifically zDoom or Crispy Doom. But if you dont want to go through that much trouble, and would instead like to live vicariously through the exploits of others, here's a video of someone completing the level. And let me tell you kids, it's fucking hard.

With gas prices rising, high unemployment, and inflation poised to spiral out of control, your talent for cutting household expenses is becoming more and more important. You can slash services like yard landscaping and premium cable channels, and you can reduce your utility bills by using electricity, gas, and water more sparingly. But what about everyday necessities like feeding your family and operating your home? In order to be successful with couponing, you've got to start with a big huge mental shift. You'll be leaving behind that old way of shopping and opening your mind to something new.

What do Tom Brady and my six year old nephew have in common? They both go to bed at 8pm. Well, that and they both cry like little bitches when they lose.

Demonstrating once again her gift for spellbinding stoyrtelling,The Witching Hour by Anne Rice is the first novel in the Lives of the Mayfair Witches series. It begins the tale of a family of witches -- a family given to poetry and incest, to murder and philsophy, a family that is itself haunted by a powerful, dangerous and seductive being -- and a spirit that has guided their fortunes for generations.

Can you show me exactly where there is no left turn onto Regent Street?

Sure, any idiot can tell me this photo was taken at the entrance to the Luxor Hotel and Casino in Las vegas, but can you show me exactly which entrance?

It looks like the open carry movement in Florida might be held up in the State Senate, all thanks to Senator Miguel Diaz de la Portilla of Miami who is afraid the proposed law would, "create a bad impression on tourists who would see Floridians walking around with handguns." You know, like tourists are in 44 other states. To that end, this is a GREAT deal on a GREAT little carry gun: Bersa Thunder .380 for $239. In fact if you remember, it was about three years ago when I picked up this Bersa Thunder .380 used for $200. This was the one I used to keep sealed in plastic and hidden away in a bathroom, but that detail has been relegated to an old S&W 36, so now this trusty little Bersa is kept in a more readily accessible location around the house.

Jury Duty Part XIV: Until Next Time Take Care of Yourself. And Each Other.

Okay, one little tidbit about the closing arguments I forgot to mention. And as a precursor, I remember watching a television show once -- I think it was Boston Legal and I think it was Denny Crane who said this -- but while counseling a younger attorney he offers the following advice. "I want you to object to everything the opposing counsel says. I don't care what they say, I don't care why you object, I don't care if the judge overrules every objection. I just want to you throw them off their game and don't let them get into a rhythm." And that is exactly what Unpronounceablename did to Peter Griffin throughout his entire closing argument. Which side note, I didn't know you could object during a closing argument, but anyway. Unpronounceablename was objecting as he was just walking up to the microphone. That poor fucker couldn't even purse his lips together to start speaking and Unpronounceablename was objecting for one reason or another. Some were sustained and some were overruled, but after the third or fourth objection, you could see the frustration in Peter Griffin's face. I don't know if that was her plan or not, but it was certainly the effect. It was actually kind of brutal.

And not that I am advocating burglary -- I fucking hate car thieves, especially career ones -- but if I were to be the little devil on Chris Penn's shoulder, here are a few tidbits of advice I would have whispered into his ear. Upon his initial confrontation with John Goodman for looking into the toolbox of Goodman's truck, the absolute worst thing he could have done is exactly what he did; attempt to flee without any explanation. What would have worked in his favor is immediately upon being challenged by John Goodman, Chris Penn could have offered his bullshit, "I thought it was my boss's truck," excuse followed by an enthusiastic apology, and presuming John Goodman didn't believe his line of bullshit, offered to wait around for the police to arrive and clear the matter up. Hell, even jump up and down waving your arms once the responding officer arrived on scene and when he got out of his car, explain that you were going in to set up an appointment for [whatever damn lump or mole somewhere on your skin} and made a simple mistake. Now odds are the officer would have done a background check on Chris Penn, seen all his previous arrests for car burglaries (see below) and arrested him anyway. But he would have avoided the more serious Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon charge altogether, plus have created enough reasonable doubt -- what kind of thief offers to wait around for the cops-- that it's possible he would have been acquitted of the burglary charge altogether; or at the very least been convicted of the lesser trespassing charge.

Second thing. I've already touched on how fucking stupid it was for him to flee to a fucking convenience store parking lot when the bridge to Ford Myers was so close, so I won't revisit that again. But while he was inside the Race Trac -- you know "getting something to drink" -- and saw John Goodman pull up behind him and block him in, his best course of action would have been to flip the script and call 911 himself. "Yeah there's this crazy guy who attacked me in a parking lot, keyed my car, chased me down the road to a Race Trac, and now he's trapped my car in. I'm inside the store and I'm afraid to go outside." Hell, even better, have the store clerk or some other bystander call on your behalf. Maybe even make a scane and toggling the door lock to, "keep that crazy guy out since he's already attacked me once." Again, it may not have ultimately stopped Chris Penn's arrest for the initial burglary attempt, especially once his previous arrest record came to light during the intial investigation, but would have created a metric shit ton of reasonable doubt on the jury's end. And again, would have prevented his blind panic reaction of almost running a fucking guy over with his car, because I suspect that momentary lapse of reason is going to cost him a decade of his life.

I know I dropped a few breadcrums along the way, but still quite impressive, Tim! The only thing you got wrong was El Jefe; it seems Judge Porter was originally scheduled to hear that case, but due to some unforseen circumstances had Judge Dommerich sit in for him. And I looked through all of the local Assistant State Attorney profiles, but didn't see Dr Taub among them, although a few profiles didn't have photos so perhaps he's one of those? And as for Unpronounceablename, she could have repeated her name ten times, and spelled it out for me using crayons, and I still don't think I'd have gotten it right. Srsly. And Chris Penn is due to be sentenced on the 23rd of this month.

Just in time for Universal Studios to eat shit for decomissioning the BTTF ride in favor of that shitty ass Simpsons ride, the most iconic piece of the most iconic movie's repertoire is coming back. That's right motherfuckers, the DeLorean is slated to go back into production next year.

I'll admit that generally I'm not a huge fan of remanufactured ammo -- specifically those made by Billy-Bob in his bath tub gin reloading room -- but commercially reloaded ammo, I'm not so shy about. Right now you can grab up a case of 1000 brass cased .45ACP rounds for $248 shipped, which is about $150 less than new stuff was a year ago.
