I knew it! Wait, no its random.
THE creator of Max Headroom, a 1980s television cyber-presenter, has claimed he was one of the hoaxers behind the Roswell film, the grainy black and white footage supposedly showing a dead alien being dissected by American government scientists after a UFO crash.

I sometimes get bottled water for the convience, and because I am too lazy to wash my water bottle regularly.
Bottom line, if you buy bottled water because you think it’s healthier than tap, test after test shows no evidence of that. And if you buy fancy brands because you think they taste better, you’re probably just buying the hype.

Remember when crazy people just killed you. MAYBE raped you. The gold old days.
"Regarding a potential motive, this appears to have been part of a plan to kidnap a person, rape them, torture them, kill them, cut off their head, drain the body of blood, rape the corpse, eat the corpse, then dispose of the organs and bones," Purcell Police Chief David Tompkins told a news conference.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
No, this is not a joke. 26 years after Breakin’ and Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo danced their way onto the scene, a third installment of the cheesy franchise appears to be heading our way.

Kinda. If I get a smaller bag, and don’t carry all my stuff.

I’m a huge Ellis fan, and the art is great, but I just haven’t gotten into Nextwave yet. I bought the last two issues, and will probably keep going for a few more, but I’m just not excited yet.
For Nextwave: Agents of H.A.T.E. #5, Marvel is releasing both a regular version as well as a Crayon Butchery Variant. Now you can not only read but COLOR Monica, the Captain, Boom Boom, Machine Man and all your favorite Nextwave characters. Be careful with Dirk Anger.

OK, I’m not a "tender moments" kinda guy, but if the condem ever breaks, and I end up married, I wouldn’t mind something like this.
- Holds 30 Polaroid photos in archival (acid and lignen free) pages which mat out the white border of the Polaroid
- Accommodates up to 75 guests (think couples and groups)
- Covered in custom dyed Japanese fabric
- 8" x 10" x 1.5"
- 3" x 3" die cut opening in the cover to slide a photo in
- Album opens perfectly flat to write in it and closes perfectly flat when filled with photos

So I am really diggin on the new Toyota SUV. Its like if my Element got a sense of self confidence and a thyroid problem. So I go to the dealership and check one out. A couple thing I want to point out:
- I have gone to three dealerships to check out various new cars in the last few weeks. Once I was ignored until I walked out (fuck you Saturn Sky), and twice, coincedentally, I got the black sales guy. I’m not saying its meaningful, but I am muttering RACISM to myself angrly.
- The car looks badass from across the lot, but slightly toyish from up close. The door handles suck, and the rear lights look a little silly.
- The inside is smaller than the Element. It doesn’t make sense, but it felt smaller, or at least smaller than something that is that big outside should be.
- Dealer markups have started. I configured one online, and it comes to about $26k. At the dealership they pretty much start at $30k, though with the options I want.
If I had the money, this would be the car parked next to my other ‘if’ car, the Pontiac Solstice. If I had ridiculous money it would be an Aston Martin and a Range Rover Sport. If I had Bill Gates money it would be a Unicorn and a throne carried on the stooped shoulders of all who would defy me. Or maybe the Range Rover still.
Yes, I drove, and would buy, a yellow one.
The all-new FJ Cruiser is the latest in a long line of celebrated off-road vehicles from Toyota. And in the tradition of the legendary Land Cruiser family, the FJ Cruiser is not only engineered to conquer anything Mother Nature has to offer, but keep coming back for more.
