The best bear protection you can own is a pair of running shoes and a .22 pistol. When you see a bear, you stop and put on the running shoes. When the bear charges, you shoot your buddy in the knee with the .22 and then run like hell!!!

Carbon Fiber

Going through some old links, a while ago I had found this carbon fiber sword (made by Warren Thomas). I am not a terribly big fan of swords. I own zero of them. This is a piece of art. I am sure it cuts like crap, but it looks absolutely amazing. I saved the link because I was always curious if I could incorporate it into some design....

Description:

This sword features a blade constructed with a titanium core. Both sides of the core are laminated with carbon fiber to decrease weight and increase speed while maintaining superior strength. The tsuba is solid carbon fiber, the handle is a resin-soaked wrap over black ray skin and the saya is made from Ash.

Autopilot engaged

Video Description:

An excerpt from the 1958 Disneyland TV Show episode entitled Magic Highway USA. In this last part of the show, an exploration into possible future Transportation technologies is made. It's hard to believe how little we've accomplished on this front since 1958, and how limited the scope for imagining such future technologies has become. Witness an artifact from a time where the future was greeted with optimism. Note the striking animation style here, achieved with fairly limited animation and spectacular layouts

Its pretty interesting to see how people envisioned the future in 1958. While we do have some of the things outlined in the video, the technology is nowhere near that in the video. We do have rear view cameras, GPS, highways, expressways...

I can picture some guy who watched this as a child stating "D*it, where's my hovering auto-piloted car?"

Friggin Tickets

I remember when I was five years old going to arcades checking out the prize areas. Hoping to cash my tickets in for a worthy action figure, I would save my tickets from one visit to the next. Every time I visited the number of tickets required to redeem for a prize kept going up. It was my first lesson in inflation. The only problem is those stupid tickets were worthless anywhere outside of Chuck E. Cheese.

Things haven't changed much. I was at Dave and Busters on Monday. On average, an arcade machine would provide around 8 tickets per token. It was 50 tickets for a piece of candy. What the? That's almost 2 dollars for a piece of candy the size of a jolly rancher. They are suffering some serious prize inflation.

Then I started wondering how I will handle taking my son to an arcade when he is old enough. I wondered if it would be better to steer him away from this money munching stupid ticket games. Nope, I think its an important life lesson...dream big, work hard, spend a lot of money, trade money for worthless tickets, and never reach your goal. Wow, life sucks for kids. You can lump in adults at Dave and Busters too, that place is a ripoff.

Dream man

http://thisman.org/history.htm

"HISTORY

In January 2006 in New York, the patient of a well-known psychiatrist draws the face of a man that has been repeatedly appearing in her dreams. In more than one occasion that man has given her advice on her private life. The woman swears she has never met the man in her life.

That portrait lies forgotten on the psychiatrist's desk for a few days until one day another patient recognizes that face and says that the man has often visited him in his dreams. He also claims he has never seen that man in his waking life.

The psychiatrist decides to send the portrait to some of his colleagues that have patients with recurrent dreams. Within a few months, four patients recognize the man as a frequent presence in their own dreams. All the patients refer to him as THIS MAN.

From January 2006 until today, at least 2000 people have claimed they have seen this man in their dreams, in many cities all over the world: Los Angeles, Berlin, Sao Paulo, Tehran, Beijing, Rome, Barcelona, Stockholm, Paris, New Dehli, Moskow etc.

At the moment there is no ascertained relation or common trait among the people that have dreamed of seeing this man. Moreover, no living man has ever been recognized as resembling the man of the portrait by the people who have seen this man in their dreams.

The aim of this website is:
- to help those who have seen this man in their dreams and to foster communication among them;
- to understand who this man is and why he appears in an apparently pattern-less array of situations in the dreams of such diverse human subjects."

Trippy. Can't say I have ever had a dream about this guy. But I have had several dreams that repeat the same problem. I have also had several dreams where I can run faster than I ever imagined. Then I begin to run on my hands and feet, and I am blazingly fast. Still can't figure it out. Doesn't make any sense at all. Recently I saw a PBS special on hand walkers, and that took my dream to another level. I will let you google it.

Stupid videos

I hate it when you do a search for a hot topic video, and youtube returns a titled video with a snapshot that looks similar to the video being searched. You click on the link, and some A$$ hat sitting in front of the camera giving his opinion on the topic. What the hell? I don't give a crap about your stupid opinion. If I did, I would have used the keywords "A$$ hat's opinion on topic ___"

Here are some examples, I wanted to find the Kanye West interruption speech:

After clicking on 3 worthless links, I find myself frustrated, and angry. Not only are the videos worthless, they waste your time, the people are so annoying you want to punch them in the face. Piss ants. How about titling the video properly so that it isn't misleading?

Here's an analogy: This would be the equivalent of me going to my tool box to get a screwdriver. Open the drawer, pull out something that looks like a screwdriver, and it changes to a hammer. And starts giving its opinion of screwdrivers in a transvestites voice. That hammer would get thrown hard. Suck It.

I heard about this on the radio. Its a twitter site where a guy posts all the random thoughts his dad says. http://twitter.com/Shitmydadsays. Here are some of my favorite lines:

"Does anyone your age know how to comb their f*ing hair? It looks like two squirrels crawled on their head and started f*ing."

"You're being f*ing dramatic. You own a TV and an air mattress. That's not exactly what I'd call "a lot to lose."

"Jesus Christ, Just give the dog his f*ing food. Why's he gotta do a trick first? YOU don't have to do sh* before YOU eat."

"The universe does not give a f* about you. You are a speck in its sh*."

"You know, sometimes it's nice having you around. But now ain't one of those times. Now gimmie the remote we're not watching this bullsh*."

"How the f* should I know if it's still good? Eat it. You get sick, it wasn't good. You people, you think I got microscopic f*ing eyes."

"Who is this woman?....Kate Beckinsale? Well, you can tell Kate Beckinsale she sucks."

"The dog is not bored, it's a f*ing dog. It's not like he's waiting for me to give him a f*ing rubix cube. He's a god damned dog."


I will need to check back later to see the updates.

Sci Fi movies make suspended animation look incredibly awesome. Immagine travelligng to far away planets that take thousands of years, to be awakened when you arrive. For a certain amount of power and money, you can time travel forward as long and as far as you want. Unfortunately, science hasn't reached the level where they can re-animate someone. We can freeze a person, but its the thawing process that is damaging (to say the least). On a tangent, immagine how depressed you would be when you were awaken to find everyone and everything you loved is gone.

I hate when people litter. When I am driving down the highway in California, I see people throw their garbage right out the window. Nowhere else in the world have I seen more people litter than in California. I want to pick up the litter, wait till they park, and throw it back through their car window. Its a bit ridiculous. If you have garbage, just hold onto it until you get to wherever you are going to. There will be a garbage can there, and put it into the garbage can. Lazy Bastards.

Bombay the Hard Way

Going through my old music archives, I came across this one. Its a bit different. The whole album is pretty trippy (Dj Shadow - Bombay the Hardway).

This track is titled "My Guru"

Public healthcare

This new health care system is possibly the worst idea I have ever heard. The worst part is if you look for who is going to pay for this system. Its going to burden the working people. They plan to tax large businesses who won't provide health care to workers. So, then the businesses will offer health care, and charge large premiums. Which is just as bad as not offering anything at all. The next group to get taxed are existing insurance providers. They will be taxed at 35%. The increased taxes on the insurance providers will get passed to the companies. The companies are going to pass those costs on the employees. The average employee paying for family insurance can expect the cost of their insurance to go up by [b]$800.[/b][u] Folks, we are in the middle of a recession, and these politicians want to burden everyone with more expenses. Are these people retarded? Then, they want to cap the maximum that insurance companies can charge individuals for insurance. The cap would $8K for an individual, and $24K for a family. WOW, hold on, this year's census shows the average family in California earns $52K annually. After taxes, he is probably at $38K. He is now going to pay $24K for insurance. Who is working the calculator? They need to put the crack pipe down. I am sorry if you can't afford insurance, but I don't think its the burden of the working public to pay for your insurance. Health insurance today, next are we going to pay for car insurance? Then what, food? Everyone has to eat... How about not buying an iPhone and signing up for Premium cable if you can't afford health insurance. Lets start there.

My biggest worry, is once we start into this ludicrous idea. There won't be any turning back. It will be never ending like medicaid and social security. It will snowball out of control. After they have provided this, they can't say, well it didn't work out, so as of this date, we are going to cut it off. Nope, it will never end.

If you are not paying attention to politics, it would be a good time to open your eyes.

Yes, cash for clunker was a success. All our tax money is helping stimulate the Japanese economy. Of all the cars sold, Toyota, Honda, and Ford were the most successful. The other car manufacturers saw no change. We didn't see that coming.

I found this funny

Quote:
"The people of Japan thank you America for the handout! We accept your money with humble gratitude that in doing so you kept our factories open and our people working. We will continue to assemble our cars in the U.S. using our suppliers parts made here in Japan--so your intelligent upper class liberals will feel good about their purchase."

Horsehair Worm

I just read about these things. This is crazy. The horse hair worm is a parasite. It grows inside the host, where it lays eggs in the intestine tracks. The eggs hatch and have hooks to grab onto the walls. The worm then infects the hosts brain and causes the host to drown itself. Sort of like a zombie. The worm wants the host to drown itself, so that it can reproduce in the water and infect its next victim. This is some crazy stuff.

Aliens

If you think about all the movies about aliens coming down to earth, there isn't a real good depiction of them. Typically they are nasty creatures hellbent on killing us and using our bodies and natural resources. Here are the first few alien movies that come to mind:

• Predator
• Aliens I/II/III/IV
• Independence Day
• Signs
• Enemy Mine ("This is my left foot")
• War of the Worlds

There are a few good movies that depict aliens in a good way though

• ET
• Cocoon
• The day the earth stood still (I haven't seen it yet, the classic or remake)
• Alf
• Star Trek

I wonder if aliens ever do show up, and what if they were cool with interspecies development. They would learn our language, soon after they sign up for a netflix account, and start going through our catalog of movies. I wonder if they will ever say "Whoa, you guys are a bunch of a-holes, we weren't anything like that!". Then they will say "Hey, you want to see what movies we made about what we thought you were going to be like?". That would be pretty crazy.

Southpark

I can't say I have ever watched the show South Park(TM) until last week. I always thought the show was trashy and lame. Boy, have I been missing out, or I have started to stoop to trashy lame shows.

Captain Eo

When I was kid, captain Eo was the man.... this movie rocked in 3D. As a kid I imagined all movies would be 3D in the future. I haven't seen any 3D movies produced as well as this one.. In fact, I haven't seen a 3D movie since then (but I haven't seen the latest pixar 3d movies, they could be good). Its still funny, that it has been 23 years, and just now, they are getting around to mainstream 3D movies.

Embarassing

Had to swing by the grocery store tonight to pick up diapers, bagels and milk. As I waited in line the guy behind me was whistling Dixie. I became interested in what he was so excited about purchasing. On the conveyor belt, his lone item, tampons. I wanted to say "Hey, your stuff is more embarrassing than my stuff", but a polite Nelson point an laugh would have been more appropriate "Ha-ha".

I think that is the only thing a respectable man should NOT be forced to pick up at the grocery. I wondered if women get a power trip forcing men to go to the store to pick this up for them. Then I started to wonder, what items could be used to cover up the fact that you are buying tampons. For example, if you bought a bag of charcoal, a rack of ribs, 2 bottles of BBQ sauce, and box of tampons, would that balance out the lameness.... probably not, you would still suck.

Random thought of the day

I am glad people can't hear my thoughts. If they could, I would be in deep doo-doo.

Keep spending....

Article titled 'Senate passes cash for clunkers program'. LINK

I don't ever recall anyone saying "I want old cars off the streets, and yes, please take some my paycheck to help make it happen."

A side note that I hadn't realized until someone else mentioned it. Almost all old cars get less than 25mpg. All old cars are now worth $5K. Which means nobody can buy a cheap used car anymore. Which also means, all the cars that are sold for $5K back to the government will get destroyed, instead of being recycled for parts at pick-n-pulls to sustain other older cars on the road. But don't worry, we will pay for it.

Anything else you want us to pay for?

Top 10 Cartoons Of ALL TIME

I look at cartoons today, most of them are computer animated, and most of the suck. I thought about all the good cartoons I used to watch as a kid. I came up with my top 10 cartoons.

10.) Recess
Plot line - A random group of kids getting into trouble
What made it cool - Remembering recess time in school. Getting into trouble with friends.
Intro


9.) Inspector Gadget
Plot line - A Goofy bionic inspector is really supported by his intelligent daughter (Penny), and overly intelligent dog
What made it cool - The random, over the top gadgets that inspector gadget would whip out for any situation. The super computer book that Penny carried around. Back then it was considered futuristic. But today its a standard laptop.
Intro


8.) Duck Tales
Plot line: Good ducks vs. Bad ducks
What made it cool - The characters { Huey, Dewey, Louie, Scrooge McDuck, Mrs Beakley, Launchpad McQuack, the Beagle Boys and Ma Beagle}
Intro


7.) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Plot line: Turtles are infected by toxic sewage, turn into crime fighting, sewer dwelling, pizza eating characters.

Intro

6.) Voltron
Plot line - Robotic cats assembled to form a giant robot
What made it cool - Each of the cats had amazing powers. As a kid I imagined riding in one of these would be the coolest thing ever. As an adult, it would still be pretty darn awesome.
Intro



5.) Transformers
Plot line - Entities from out space take the shape of earth like machines which transform into robots to fight bad robots.
What made it cool - The thought of having a robot or vehicle that could transform. What always amused me is that the decepticons seemed to have better robots. The latest movies are pretty good, but they need to get rid of Shai Le-bouf, he sucks.
Intro


4.) X-men (the original cartoon)
Plot line - Stories from the comics
What made it cool - This was your favorite comic book characters in cartoon form. This cartoon series was true to the comic books. Lots of interesting characters and stories. I watched an episode recently, and it was still great. The movies seem to be doing very well now.
Intro


3.) Simpsons
Plot Line - The life of a dysfunctional family
What made it cool - The first 5 or 6 years of the simpsons were great. Back then they had a story for each character. After that, it became too commercialized and focused on homer. I can't say I know anyone who still watches it. The best episodes were the Halloween specials. Its fun to watch those the day of or day before Halloween.
Intro



2.) G.I.-Joe
Plot Line - Good guys vs bad guys with futuristic weapons.
What made it cool - Lasers, and missiles... do they need anything more. Gi-Joe always rocked. Too bad nobody ever died. It was a cartoon soap opera. Have to wait to see how the movie does.
Intro


1.) He-man and the Masters of the Universe
Plot Line - By the power of grayskull. He man rocked, he would call out thunder, pump up like steroids, and ride a battle cat. That was awesome.
What made it cool - The cartoon was a mix of futuristic technology and Conan the barbarian type action. Even though they had lasers, they would fight with swords. They had hover crafts, but Heman would ride on the back of a tiger.... a lot if didn't make sense, but it was entertaining.

Teasers

I am sick of television teasing. These are shows or movies that seem to indefinetely drag on. There are a couple of shows that do this, and it really digs under my skin.
Mythbusters
Special Investigations (like 60 minutes)
Soap Operas
All musicals

Mythbusters changed its format where it recaps everything after every commercial break. What the hell, did we forget what happened 6 minutes ago? If someone didn't tune in time for the show, forget them. Can you imagine if you were watching a movie, and every 10 minutes, there is a recap from the beginning? This is extremely lame. Can you imagine anything in life, where a recap every 10 minutes would be something usefull. In a meeting, every 6 minutes, lets recap from the begining. The other thing that irks me is the new format. They take 4 myths and interleave the stories over a 1 hour segment. Each one takes about 6 or 7 minutes, but with the recaps, they each take around 12 minutes. So, to watch one myth, you pretty much have to watch the whole show. This sucks. This is sort of like being forced to watch commercials. Am I not paying for cable, why am I watching commercials? I think mythbusters jumped the shark when they changed the format and they brought the young assistants to cover myths. I wonder if people are just as annoyed by this, or just don't realize what is happening.

News specials, sometimes they have an interesting topic. But the news segment should be 3-4 minutes long, and they drag out the story to 60 minutes, giving you every possible scenario and telling it like a horrible story. How about we just wrap this thing up and you tell us the end. I hate things that are overly long.

Soap Operas. Ah. I won't even start.

Musicals....no Man should be into musicals . A musical is a 5 minute story stretched into a 90 minute movie, where characters sing waaaay too much irrelevant dialog. Very annoying. Waterboarding should be legal in the US, and musicals should only be allowed and used in Guantanamo.

Dumb Laws

California is home of the dumbest laws. The one that pisses me off the most, is the assault rifle ban. What constitutes an assault rifle, has nothing to do with how dangerous a gun is. It has to do with characteristics of a weapon that look intimidating (link for more reading). Some law maker decided a pistol grip is a characteristic of a threatening weapon, so they passed a law that bans any gun with pistol grips. Here is an image of the same gun, one is banned while the other is not. How is a pistol grip any more dangerous than a model without?!! How does one gun kill more people than the same model with a different feature? What kind of joke is this? How does a folding stock make a weapon more deadly?. I am sorry, but if a stock folds, it doesn’t make it any more concealable or dangerous. Have you tried sticking a rifle down the leg of your pants? The problem with the law is that it bans many weapon models who don’t offer alternate configurations. Also, many weapons are banned by name.

There are many parts to the assault rifle ban, including flame throwers and grenade launchers. Yes, I am in total agreement on that ban. But pistol grips, magazines, and folding stocks….what the hell?

The assault weapon ban expired in the United States in 2004, but now there is a push to reinstate the ban on the national level. Even though the law expired on the national level, it is still in affect in California. Even though there is a ban in California, there is nothing to prevent someone from driving across the border with a weapon. But wait, in the laws it says its you shouldn’t possess one. I am sure all the law-abiding criminals are going to follow this rule.

Thankfully we have the brainiac, Nancy Pelosi in office. She will straighten things out….just as soon as people stop lying to her.

Also, people like this piss me off: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=118x199479. Quote “ban Hummers. They just look too military and people feel threatened by them.”

I am sorry, they look to WHAT? Should we all drive p*-mobiles? If you are p*, stay home, hang up your purse, kick off your heels, and watch the steelers while you sip your wine cooler.

Revelation: [most] NES GAMES SUCK!

What sucks the most is that these games were $39 (later on SNES $49), and you bought them and they blew sheep balls. And the lame nintendo power magazine would never tell you the truth about how bad most games suck. They would just make it out like every game was awesome, and feature posters and codes and crap.

I wish I had an honest review like this back when I was a kid. I could have saved a fortune. Most of the time we rented games, but our crappy "Video Express" store had 1 copy of each game, cost $2.76 (yes I remember the exact ammount, because I had to scrounge it up out of cushions or the ashtray), and you rented the game for 48 hours. The people at the store were never any help, so you ended up riding all way down to the store to just see what they had in stock.

Ah. to be home

When I was born, they placed me in an incubator box.
I live in a state run by Barbara Boxer.
I live in a box house, on a street with many other box houses.
I drive my box car, to my box building job.
Where I will work for 45 years until I am ready for a much smaller box.
I work in a box, called a cubicle.
I stare at a box (computer screen) all day.
Inside that box are little box windows.
I sort stuff into boxes, which are named "folders".
I print stuff out, where I walk down the hallway to pick it up from a big box printer. The printer is always broken. Piece of crap.
I talk to my boss in his big box office.
I pick up my box lunch from the cafeteria.
Occasionally, I check my mailbox for junk mail.
I work in long box called a "lab".
I take a dump in a box stall.
In the evening, I illegally take the diamond lane home (which is just a box rotated 45 degrees).
After parking, I notice there is a brown box left by my front door.
Delivered by the box man in his box truck.
I carry my box into my box house, where I am greeted by my family and my dogs. So much joy, that you forget about the mediocre day filled with boxes. F-da boxes, I am home.

Is it bad that I use many of the scenes featured in these clips to calibrate my home stereo. I just pop in the DVD and jump to those scenes. I figure, if you can hear all the gunshots, talking, echoing, clips, clicks, bullets ricocheting, cartridges hitting the floor…then damn, your sound system is perfect.

It will be a cold day in hell when I use "You’ve Got Mail” to calibrate my stereo.

The Great Government Ponzi Scheme

How long are we going to let government run the great ponzi scheme called "Social Security"? What num-nuts thought this pyramid scheme system through? How can we rely on the money raised today by people under 65 to support people over 65?

I have been maxing out my social security contributions ($10K/year), and now the jack A$$es in office want to raise the caps!!!! Yeah, the guys voting to raise the caps are 60 friggin' years old. What does it matter to you if you raise the caps?

People are going to progressively live longer, and how can you expect the little money saved now to help people every year after retirement? Why should individuals be forced into this government savings system? I am pretty sure my money would be better spent on the stock market than spent on social security.

I tell you what, how about make it an option system, let me opt out now, and you can keep everything you have already taken, and I won't ask for a dime when I turn 65, or whatever age you deem fit for retirement. As it seems to be continually changing. More BS to the system.

First the government forces you to save money. Then they tell you how old you have to be to get it back. They tell you how much you will get later, and they give you a little bit every week. What the hell is this? And when it does come time to give the money back, the inflation is so far through the roof, that the money you get can't pay for groceries and rent.

When are we going to shut down this system?

Are you a redneck?

[found on the internet]
Are you a Democrat, a Republican or a Redneck?

Here is a little test that will help you decide.

The answer can be found by posing the following question:

You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children.

Suddenly, an Islamic Terrorist with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, praises Allah, raises the knife and charges at you.

You are carrying a Kimber 1911 cal. 45 ACP and you are an expert shot.

You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family..

What
do
you do?

Democrat's Answer :


Well, that's not enough information to answer the question!
Does the man look poor or oppressed?
Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack?
Could we run away?
What does my wife think?
What about the kids?
Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand?
What does the law say about this situation?
Does the pistol have appropriate safety built into it?
Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway and what kind of message does this send to society and to my children?
Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me?
Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be content just to wound me?
If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me?
Should I call 9-1-1?
Why is this street so deserted?
We need to raise taxes, have paint and weed day and make this happier, healthier street that would discourage such behavior.
This is all so confusing!

I need to debate this with some friends for few days and try to come to a consensus.

Mashup Music

I found a cache of mashups online. A mashup is a mixing of two songs together. After listening to about 100 of these in the last 2 days. It seems the best mashup-mix recipe is if you take a hit pop song from the last year and mix it with a pop song from 20-30 years ago. I may have to try to make one of these....

here's my list of what I downloaded.
You can download youtube videos as MP3s with this site: http://www.vidtomp3.com Then just burn a CD or Mp3 track for your car. Unless you have the bose high fiddy system in your car you shouldn't notice a difference. I won't, not in any of my cars :)

How not to be cool

Random thought:

1 minute = 60 seconds
1 second = 1000 milliseconds
1 millivanillisecond is how long millivanilli was cool

And just for the record, a millivanillisecond is short than a millisecond, but nobody had their casio watch out to measure exactly how short it was.

And if you don't know, now you know. And dat one. And made famous by this.

My project truck

This idea has been floating around in my head. A chopped, 2 door, h3t. http://picasaweb.google.com/doctoroctos/H3tDreamTruck?authkey=Gv1sRgCIGsyv2mhZaOoQE&feat=directlink Still needs:
1.) Inner roll cage,
2.) HID off lights,
3.) Tire mounted in the bed
4.) Front and rear lockers

Not sure if it will ever come to fruition. Still looking for a good salvaged h3 for around 8-10K....

I don't like the commercial h3t, its too long. The wheelbase looks funky. I wish they had made the concept version.

Generation Kill

I have 4 television shows I am actively following. Lost and Heroes (which most of America seems to be following). The other 2 are Wildboys and Generation Kill. If you haven't seen generation kill, its a pretty interesting series.

The series is a bit hard to follow with the many characters and changing objectives. Besides the guns, humvees (HMMWV) and action, I like to watch it because it is possible the worst job I have ever seen on television (outside of the series: Dirty Jobs) (dirty jobs will make you squirm). What I take away from the first season is how F-ed up a job can really be. This shows the real nasty command chain of the military. Any job where you don't have to dig a hole and take a dump, is a good job.

Save it for the plane

My latest published word (phrase)

I have been using this one for years ... if you haven't heard me say it.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Save+it+for+the+plane

My top 5 worst actors/actresses and their worst movies:
1.) Nicholas Cage - every role sounds the same, there is no emotion. And more funny reasons (here). Worst movie: Snakeyes or Ghost Rider



2.) John Travolta - horrible actor. And to top it off, he starred in Hairspray. Need I say more. Worst move: Every movie is stupid. That stupid grin....can't he star only in Scientology recruiting videos?



3.) Brandon Fraser - equally horrible. Worst movie: George of the jungle



4.) Drew Barrymore - That valley girl accent-lisp is killing me. Your 34, talk like a damn American. "Like...whatever, oh my god". (PROOF - like.... ACK!) Worst movie: Charlie's Angels



5.) Hugh Grant - Guaranteed to act in a very bad romantic comedy. Worst movie: Bridget Jones Diary. Someone poke my eyes out...ugh, him and Renée Zellweger, what a bad combination. They should rename the movie to Bridget Jones Diarrhea. For some reason, I can't sit through this.


Anytime you see one or more of these actors in a movie, you should save it for the plane.

Rant off.
