UK censors horror movie about neo-Nazi hate crime

I am not in favor of censorship.. but I don’t think the banning of this type of film has me particularly upset.. There is a certain style of torture movie I typically avoid.

However.. In no way am I in favor of this being banned.. Or anything else.

I bought a really big carrot at the Hometown Auction today..

A note of caution: Don’t Google “what to do with an enormous carrot” at work..

A good snake isn't a dead one. Educate yourself and you'll see your fear go away. I can see being afraid of venomous snakes, but harmless ones? Grow up.

I believe this message was sent based on a post from 6 months ago in which I referred to a dead autumn copperhead in front of my house.

I grew up when winter set in.. now with spring on the way and the birth of new little evil baby snakes, my fear will come back.

But I will attempt to grow up. I am in my 30s, and a male. So right about now is the prime time to grow up, right?

Is your satnav harming your brain?

This makes some sense to me.. we are not ‘wired’ to be as wired as we are.. It may take a couple of generations to get in the groove.. until we merge with machine, it will be a bumpy and depressing ride..

McDonald's to stop using chicken with antibiotics

This is shocking.

It’s the first time McDonalds has admitted to actually using CHICKEN.

I kid, I kid..

This is a good first step though.. now if they take the REST of the plastic and garbage out of their product, we will get somewhere.

Food CAN BE fast. And healthy.. It is just up to consumers to demand it. Thanks to the FOOD BABE and others like her, it’s happening..

Let’s label this the DE-CRAPPENING.

I did not get the chance until just this weekend to see GONE GIRL.. But finally, my son’s sleeping hour, my wife and I sat down to watch this.. I am a little bit disappointed with the end. I will not spoil it—though I will tell you that you see the full package of Affleck during a scene—but the movie was too great to have such a let down finale.. 

I have no full review, and perhaps no point. But it’s the internet, I don’t have to.

Am I alone in my dislike of the ending of this movie? It’s so bad it makes me actually dislike the entire film, though until the final five minutes it was perhaps one of the greatest movies I’ve seen in years…

It also reminded me of how much I don’t want Ben Affleck to be BATMAN..

Yellowstone park's Boiling River running warmer

Liz Kearney in the SALT LAKE CITY TRIBUNE has a good report on this somewhat unsettling event.. and this part caught my eye the most:

Longtime locals swimming at Boiling River on Feb. 22 told Livingston Enterprise Managing Editor Justin Post the water seemed hotter than they’ve ever remembered it. A small cascade of hot water which in the past has been pleasant to sit under was unapproachably hot one recent Sunday, Post said.
Heasler, who has been with the park for about 12 years, said he and his staff aren’t absolutely certain what’s going on, but they are examining a couple of theories.

There have been tons of websites scaring me for years about Yellowstone.. And then tons of public statements from officials tell me and everyone else not to worry..

I follow DUTCHSINCE to get the truth..(you should too) ..

And now mainstream news is talking about how the Boiling River is hotter than every—in the wintertime.. Fear mongering from the SALT LAKE CITY TRIBUNE it is not..just them reporting facts and theories.. 

But the ever so scary potential for a Yellowstone event lingers in the back of America’s collective consciousness..

ANOTHER CLEAR EXAMPLE AND CAUTIONARY TALE: NEVER BELIEVE WHAT YOU READ OR SEE ONLINE FOR AT LEAST ONE WEEK..

buzzfeed:

The photographer who took the original photo for Marie Claire said the photo was stolen and “maliciously altered” to appear un-retouched.

Art Bell asked a darn interesting question in a post on BELGAB.COM the other day about travel and who people would send back to the time of Jesus to document events.. My answer is below his, I picked Ben Franklin. 

There were lots of other cool answers too, some even suggested Bruce Campbell.

And at this point if you’re an Art Bell excited for his return this coming July and NOT a member of BELLGAB, what are you waiting for?

See it and weep. Some operational guidance showcases a potential snowstorm this Thursday March 5.. 

By the freakend weekend clocks are being set ahead and spring will be in the air. Maybe.

At this point the darkness is losing. HORUS is rising.. Easter is on the way..
