Back in Our Day We’d Settle Things With Our Fists. . .

It is a common enough refrain whenever some teen shoots another teen over some respect issue.  Of course, the real issue isn’t the fists v. guns.  The real issue is that our forefathers simply just weren’t punching hard enough.

But seriously, when did Giant’s games become A’s games?  We thought that getting rid of Barry would have reduced ‘roid rage near Pac Bell/SBC/AT+T park.

Just in case you didn’t loathe him enough…

Bill O’Reilly Snaps (old clip, but clearly still a huge asshole.)

And then watch him get owned by David Letterman:

Where’s Your God Now?

Now, some of us here at The Lad have been pretty doubtful of religion for quite some time now, but what do we know, we’re certainly no Einsteins.

Oh, but this guy is.

And he has got some choice quotes in here that are just bound to make the next conversation with our super conservative ultra religious father as awkward as the time we told him we were gay, but only for black guys and illegal immigrants.

Your Jedi insticts serve you well…

A man dressed up as Darth Vader attacks a Jedi Church. There are so many reasons to love this news story. Among my favorite excerpts:

“Hughes claimed he couldn’t remember the incident, having drunk the better part of a 2 1/2-gallon (10-liter) box of wine beforehand.”

“Unfortunately for Hughes, his March attack was recorded on a video camera that the cousins had set up to film themselves in a light saber battle.”

“In the 2001 United Kingdom census, 390,000 - 0.7 percent of the population - listed Jedi as their religion.”

My favorite aspect of this story is that you and your friends are serious about the Jedi religion. You have light saber battles and everything. You consider yourself actual Jedis. And one day out of nowhere, your worst enemy walks in, and you’re helpless. You get the snot beat out of you. I guess their Jedi instincts missed the approaching onslaught.
