I thought this was a thread discussing how Transformers III is tying up downtown with their on location shoot.

They've been shooting since March?

Oh, right, because I should look at when a thread was STARTED before I make sure my smart-ass replies are technically accurate.  Nice call.  What time do you open at the Laugh Factory tonight, Pen?

No one's seen The Tao of Steve?  Really?

I liked that movie.  Saw it at the Century on Clark with my then-girlfriend.  Maybe a little unrealistic that that fatso who's missing the "D" on the end of his name and who also has dual Irish/American citizenship and who was also on that TV show with that guy who played his brother "Eddie", gets high all day and does nothing else but substitute teach could charm his way into the arms of a cute chick, but I enjoyed the movie nonetheless.  Did you like it, JD?

Anybody got tickets for Friday August 6th against the Reds?  I'm trying to help somebody out.  Why I would offer to do so by providing Cubs tickets this year is beyond me but whatever...

Is this "helping" like when you catch your kid smoking, so you force them to puff on a carton of Camel non-filters until they hurl?

George Halas claimed his father did that to him when he was a kid.  He barfed and never smoked again.*

Who, besides BananaHands, gives a shit about this? 

THIS IS NOT DEAD POOL WORTHY!  SOMEBODY CLEAN UP THIS POOL!

If Cheney dies before his 70th birthday this will severely destroy my image of him as the Will-Do-Anything-He-Can-To-Try-To-Live-Forever guy.  I've always likened him to the Mr. Burns-like futuristic robot-human at the end of the "Bobo" episode.

In short, I'll believe this shit when it happens and not a moment before.

Fuck it, I'm quoting the whole thing:

Taliban soldiers train monkeys

Afghanistan's Taliban warlords have developed a bizarre way to deal with foreign forces: they have trained monkeys who love to eat bananas and peanuts to be killers.

Taliban forces have taught monkeys how to use the Kalashnikov, Bren light machine gun and trench mortars. They also teach them how to identify and attack soldiers wearing U.S. military uniforms.

Ironically, the idea of training monkeys to fight was first invented by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency. The CIA in the Vietnam War initiated a program that used the peanuts and bananas as prizes to train some "monkey soldiers" to kill Vietnamese in the jungle, according to a report by British media on June 27, 2010.

It is reported that these monkey soldiers are mainly composed of macaques and baboons hunted at an early age in the jungle and sold to the Taliban. These monkey babies who lost their mothers are sent to a secret Taliban training base one-by-one to become killer monkeys. Taliban militants use a series of rewards and punishments to gradually teach them how to use the lethal weapons.

Recently, a British journalist went to Pakistan and Afghanistan border of Waziristan's tribal region where he witnessed a few of the monkey soldiers armed with an AK-47 rifle and Bren light machine gun. Taliban militants in the past have strictly kept the program secret.

However, Taliban leaders have recently taken the initiative show monkey soldiers to tourists of the Pakistan-Afghanistan border area. Apparently, the Taliban look on monkeys as "propaganda tools."

"If a person who loves animals knows the monkeys may be injured in the war, they might pressure the government to force the withdrawal of western forces in Afghanistan," said one Taliban insider.

A senior U.S. military source confirmed the existence of the Taliban monkey soldiers, military experts call armed monkeys "monkey terrorists."

"Monkey soldiers" use machine guns in target practice

Mr. President, we must not allow a monkey soldier gap!

Even the French are ahead of us.

Yeah, but we still have the Brotherhood of Dada.

DAMMIT!

Wait--what are we doing?

So you pre-ordered your Bulls Arenas jersey already?

Not that Ilgauskas is a huge difference maker, but that whole argument people were making that the Heat wouldn't be able to fill out a roster around the big 3 is looking pretty flimsy right now, with Haslem, Miller and Ilgauskas on board.

Shhhhh.... You're not supposed to say stuff like that. You'll be labeled a troll and your dick will fall off.

Sorry about that dick thing.

Eric Show will rise from the dead and drink the blood from Andre Dawson's mustache. Not only will be pitch again - he'll probably kill himself with another cocaine cocktail.

Didn't know he was a member of the John Birch society though. That makes his whole life that much funnier.

Eat shit, dead guy.

FACE'd from Sweden.

Let's not forget the big picture: More than half of us believe a 50-something pothead, a one-armed left-hander (whose one arm is his right hand) or a dead guy have a better chance pitching again in the big leagues than Prior or Peavy.

We get it.  You're a fan of the old Padre pitchers.

QuoteThe 1984 Padres had a young superstar in the making in Tony Gwynn. It had strong-voiced veterans such as Goose Gossage, Graig Nettles and Garry Templeton. It had a clubhouse tinged with politics as pitchers Eric Show, Mark Thurmond and Dave Dravecky make a public appearance on behalf of the John Birch Society.
