Very simple, make a joke or a pun or anything you find funny. Let's start: -2 guys are fighting sea, not far from land. They fight about 10ft deep near the SEAFLOOR and during the fight guy #1 pulls out a "sticky bomb" and kills guy #2 with it. As you can SEE FOR this situation, guy #1 killed guy #2 with C4. -Imagine a person name Zest (c-est), now imagine you telling him to play a particular game. "Zest, GO play CS: GO please for me please." -"Ay! Kay, 47 is my favourite number. You want to know why? Because it's in the name of the AK 47.

So what (if anything) are you wanting/hoping to get for Xmas? I would like a day off work, a new trapgun and a Corvette..., realistically though just being able to put together all the stuff the kids get in less than 2 days is gift enough for me (there isn't much I need which ticks Rose off cuz I don't want anything).

Just remembered how I became friends with a friend of mine. It all started 3 years ago in junior high, during lunch, I was minding my own business until I saw him playing around with a toy robot. I remember vividly because I chuckled after he sended off the ledge after winding it up and then he noticed me and that's how we became friends. -I bet that toy robot is either: -at the dump -in the hands of another student

Domestic Battery was founded as a gaming crew for couples. Somewhere you could happily blow your partners brains out and not worry about the long arm of the door knocking on your door. Other couples have been formed after meeting on this site. Dani and Jesse were the 1st and are now in an international relationship, they were soon followed by Wraign and Ern who now live together. Many of our other members have been happily married for years. All great stories but what about the singletons of the crew? In the last 5-10 years the world of dating has been turned on its head. Of course I'm talking about online dating. What used to be seen as a strange and des…

Fur Traps

Some asshole in our community is placing these fur traps in our neighborhood. They have been found on our walking trails, washes, and paseos. Two of our neighborhood cat's have been trapped in these this week. We also have children who play/walk on the walking trails and paseos. Trapping is legal in Nevada, however, it's illegal to do so in a residential area. We have an agency coming out to investigate, but in the mean time, I'd like to find more of these (a lot have been found already!) and get them to clamp shut so I can remove them before more animals or children get injured. Since I know nothing about hunting, and I'm sure a few of you here do... what's the bes…

Advice needed
by xChaosxSniperx19- 8 replies
- 839 views
A couple days ago I was told by my brother that he is going to get me something for my birthday which was 2 months ago. I am faced with 2 choices. Choice #1: Get Destiny: The Taken King Choice #2: Get my PS3 back that I had given to him at the beginning of this year. (I needed the money he gave me for it) The reason I need advice on which to choose is because on my PS3 I had some games I loved playing, including GTA 5 which means I would be able to play GTA with both PS3 & PS4 members if I choose to get it back. But if I was to get TTK I would be able to join the Destiny clan and play with crew members who also play Destiny. I've been weighing the pros …

Sirens, Helicopters, Police dogs running around! It's the LSPD!

Nope. Its the Devon & Cornwall Constabulary! I was in the middle of Gunmanmark's racing PL this evening when my friend/neighbour called me to say that the police had just knocked on their door. A few garages and sheds in the village had been broken into. I had to quit the PL to check on my garage and cars! luckily no problems. The police have been crawling around the whole village and had a helicopter out looking for any undesirables. Very unusual for this area. I would not be happy if anyone managed to brake into my garage, my pride and joy is in there! Plus a lot of expensive tools!

Getting older but not wiser?

So, very off topic. Closing in on 40. Thougths about existential stuff, family, relations, job, living situation is not uncommon. One self is easier to handle, but significant others a bit different. Even though the main reason for something are these reflections and not a actual need. Should one give in and act upon it? Pros; If something is beleived to add something it might just do it. Cons; Everything rational. We dont have the time to take care of another (summer) house, and I couldnt play GTA there. Also, have you had and/or acted upon anything like this? Excuse my spelling in topic, meant to be "Getting older.."

I was just curious, what bugs you? Whether it be in the game, at home, at work...let it be known here. Most recently I was cleaning probes at work that were covered with ash from the power plant. Now, after cleaning them, I smell like a huge pot of sulfuric dioxide (what dreams are made of). Fuck this stinks!

179Rate the Last Film you Watched 2: Electric Boogaloo
Throne of Blood (1957) dir Akira Kurosawa This is Kurosawa's version of Macbeth. It's not like the more usual Shakespearian adaptations that use the original lines, rather it's the same basic story with different lines in a different setting; medieval Japan. It's unmistakeably Macbeth right from the start as the camera pans across a misty, mysterious, highland landscape. Toshirô Mifune stars Washizu (i.e. Macbeth), initially a soldier (I guess you would say Samurai, although I am not totally sure of the correct usage of that) in the army of the local lord (i.e. King Duncan). Washizu and another soldier, Miki (i.e. Macduff), are on the way back from a victorious battle to their lord's castle. They get lost in forest and come across a spirit (equivalent of the witches) who foretells their promotion and that eventually Washizu will be the new lord but it will be Miki's son who succeeds him. They are promoted, Washizu tells his wife (Lady Macbeth, obviously) about the prophecy and it is she who encourages him on the path of deceit, betrayal and murder that will see him full-fill the rest of the prophecy but attempt to change it so that a son of his own succeeds him. One thing I did find slightly odd, and funny, is that whereas in Shakespeare's original (and the historical facts it is based on) Macbeth becomes King of Scotland, here Washizu becomes Lord of Spider's Web Castle. I am assuming that in Japanese “Spider's Web Castle” sounds more impressive than it does in English. It is very well made, of course, and the actors are good, particularly Isuzu Yamada as Lady Washizu. Like Olivier's Shakespeare adaptions it does not seem dated, and I think the Shakespearian style is what helps there. There is some very impressive cinematography, both of the landscapes and some of the castle interior scenes. One that sticks in my mind is when Lady Washizu hatches one of her plans we see her walk into another room, that is pitch black and then emerge shortly after carrying some bottles of drugged saki. The camera stays fixed for all of this, with the doorway to the dark room in the centre so it's almost like she disappears and then reappears, as if using magic. Definitely well worth watching if you are into Shakespeare or Samurai films. 9 / 10- 1

TV shows
I just finished watching The Fall of the House of Usher on Netflix. Highly recommended! It's a horror-drama in 8 episodes, very loosely based on Edgar Allen Poe short stories or poems with each episode named after a different work of his. I have never read any of them and some had not even heard of, but I now at least know the brief synopsis of them from Wikipedia. What the creators have done is woven together a plot primarily based on the short story "The Fall of the House of Usher" that greatly expands on that. The first episode has the same name as the whole series. Roderick Usher, corrupt billionaire head of a major pharmaceutical company, invites an old adversary, lawyer August Dupin, to his family's derelict house, to confess to a host of crimes. Dupin has been trying to prosecute the Ushers for decades but they always got away with it. Now, following the recent deaths of all six of his children, supposedly in freak, horrific, unrelated accidents, Roderick wants to come clean. Most of the story is now told in flash back, both to the early years of Roderick and his sister Maddie (the brains behind their rise to power) and the children's recent deaths. The next 6 episode each focus on the violent deaths of a different son or daughter, each related in some way to the Edgar Allen Poe story that episode is named after. The final episode, The Raven, then brings everything to it's conclusion, revealing the true cause of all that has happened. It's very, very good. It is a bit bloody and gory at times, but never over-the-top, always done for a reason and usually to fit in with the story that death is named after. It features Mark Hamil in the most un-Luke-Skywalker-like role you can imagine. I never really rated him as an actor in Star Wars, but here, as the Usher's ruthless lawyer he is excellent. Another Netflix series I think is worth a mention is Kaos It's a modern day story of Greek Gods and Heroes, in a world where they most definitely exist and are still worshipped by mortals. Jeff Goldblum is Zeus and there's other recognisable faces amongst the rest of the cast, including David Thewlis as one of Zeus' brothers and fellow god Hades and Suzie Izzard as one of the Fates. It loosely follows the story of Orpheus in the Underworld, but this is part of a bigger plot with both gods and mortals having to accept what fate has in store for them, whether they like it or not.- 1
