same thing, right? Unless of course we’re looking for a video which you tel me is titled “Riddling the Dome” and when I spell out ‘riddling’ you say yes and I can’t find it anywhere, not even s Google search.
Then it turns out when you show me your syllabus it’s “Riddle of the Dome” which shockingly enough *DOES* show up in the catalog. Because…well…*sigh*…
Ronda Rousey is – still – the UFC Women’s Bantamweight champion. Judo Gene Lebell is in her corner for every fight.
USA Judo is now a sponsor of the UFC – their name is prominently displayed on an octagon post with other big-name, long time big money UFC sponsors.
Pretty simple math if you ask me.
I’m also psyched that USA Judo is evidently building a major facility roughly 1/2 mile from where I work.
Oh, and evidently the way to win UFC championship fights is to have Gene Lebell in your corner. And an Olympic medal in judo, a mother who is a world-class judoka, razor-sharp focus, Manny Gamburyan and Gokor Chivichyan as part of your coaching staff and one of the best work ethics in MMA.
I’ve heard it said, “The more I practice the luckier I get”. It ain’t wrong.
Oh, and knees and elbows in the clinch. Getting it right since Ayutthaya.
None of his movies portray a version that matches the one I’ve had in my head since I was…9?….I think.
It’s a fine cinematographic portrayal and I sort of enjoy them but I also have my usual low-level seething rage about life in general boiling up whenever he does something that I specifically disagree with. And I’m pretty sure I’m a better scholar of Tolkein’s work than he is *g*. Still dead to me ;-).
WALK IN AND BLURT OUT THE RESULTS OF A HOCKEY GAME I’M RECORDING!
At least ask if I want to know how it ended-don’t just toss it out there.
Meh.
It’s good to see that he picked up on Bloomberg’s message that rules are for the little people…
for someone else’s analysis of a television show. I don’t watch The Talking Dead specifically because I have zero interest in hearing what those twits have to say about a show I JUST FREAKIN’ WATCHED.
But io9 does at times have something entertaining to say about The Walking Dead, and this week was one of them.
Of course, Lizzie, the more psychotic member of the Carol Corps, sees a pretty simple solution to this problem…. Lizzie just puts her hand over Judith’s mouth and nose… Lizzie’s just having a great time smothering this baby….Lizzie’s last name is Borden, apparently!
Carol saved them! It’s definitely a Carol ex Machina…
I thought it was entirely plausible that Walking Dead would kill Glenn off-screen, turn him into a Walker, and force Maggie to stab him in the head as an almost involuntary reaction to him lunging at her. That sounded just brutal and awful enough to be right up Walking Dead‘s alley….But for that insanely long take of Maggie where she’s crying after the stabbing, I expected to the camera to cut to zombie-Glenn with a knife in his head at any second.
And no one needlessly risked his or her life in order to eat a million pounds of canned pudding!
Funny stuff. “Carol ex machina” – I’m stealing that.
This i actually quite good. I’m often appalled by how little people know about WWI (and many, many other things in our nation’s history for that matter).
Yup. Well, maybe.
Certainly the time-wasting thing – the reason I’m not particularly nice to many people is because I can already tell they are going to be time wasters, and by running them off preemptively I am saving time. I only have so much of it left, after all…
Misanthropic? Me? Inconceivable.
