  1. LOL, um, hey idiot, that isn't a wave it's a plane.
  2. Thoughts from second half of video: -would like to see more of bikini girl (pun intended) (see 6:10ish) -fucking attack of killer fish (see 6:40ish) - that looked painful
  3. Haven't watched all the way through, but the first four minutes has some good ones. Some notable things: -what's up with that fucking wave hitting the highway? -did the wave pool surfing kid get knocked unconscious? -wtf is the dude thinking at the 4:00 mark? Lucky to not be crushed.
  4. Stop being modest; we know at least some of those photos were of just you.
  5. I might be a little late to this party, but what exactly is asymmetrical warfare? And how does that contrast with, say, symmetrical warefare? I'll hang up now and listen, thanks.
  6. Scotty 2 Hotty: strolls into thread about how to get rid of cable to discuss his pleasure with cable.
  7. Awesome to brag about expensive watches, but stupid to discuss expensive liquors. HYPOCRISY ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED
  8. One option is for him to plead insanity. I would think that you could easily argue that witnessing your children die would be sufficient enough to cause some kind of acute stress reaction that resulted in a dissociative state in which you were not really conscious of your actions or caused your thinking to be so disorganized that you didn't know what you were doing was wrongful (e.g., "I saw my kids die, and then I just kind of went into a shock, like I not inside my body anymore - I was just kind floating above it, watching things happen. I don't even remember grabbing my gun, pulling the trigger, or hearing the shots. I was just kind of numb, I guess - just there but not really there"). If his insanity defense is successful, then he will be adjudicated not guilty by reason of insanity and avoid prison. (As an aside, he could be committed to a psychiatric facility for a period of observation as well as treatment. But that's not prison.) Another option would be for his attorney to get him a favorable plea bargain. Like Ben intimated, the prosecutor on this case may be willing to "go a little easy," realizing the circumstances surrounding the event. Maybe the prosecutor agrees to a plea deal in which the defendant pleads guilty to a lesser offense - like Reckless Homicide or something - and, in return, the defendant gets time served (as, in all likelihood, he'll be in jail a while awaiting the proceedings) and has to comply with treatment (e.g., counseling). A third option is to proceed to trial and beat the case straight up. Here things like the "just world hypothesis" (i.e., the inherent tendency of people to think that people get what they deserve) and jury nullification (i.e., when a jury disregards the letter of the law and in an act of morality opts to find a defendant not guilty when the evidence would suggest that the defendant is not guilty) come into play. /copy pasta (for Ben)
  9. I see a few references to "temporary insanity." Technically, there is no such thing. Either you meet the criteria for legal insanity or you don't. In Texas, the law concerning insanity is much like it is in Ohio, which essentially is this: you are not guilty by reason of insanity if, at the time of the offense, you did not know what you were doing was wrong as a result of severe mental disease or defect. (Also, it could be argued that insanity is always temporary.) The closest thing conceptually to "temporary insanity" is a diminished capacity defense. It's kind of like a mini-insanity defense in which the defense attempts to prove that the defendant was unable to form a requisite mental component (or mens rea) of the offense (e.g., like saying that the guy who was drunk out of his mind and drove over some old lady didn't mean to kill her because he was so intoxicated he had no idea what he was doing). Technically, though, Texas (like Ohio) doesn't allow for a diminished capacity defense.
  10. Both look fine, but I like the one you painted. Car looks great.
  11. Alex, I think I'll switch categories and go with Words That Imstock2 Doesn't Have a Fucking Clue What They Mean for $9162, please.
  12. Brian Turner is an absolute class act. I cannot adequately express here how much I'd vouch for him both as a person and a professional. If I had a car worth tuning, then I'd ask him to do the tune this evening. It's unfortunate when guys like Brian - who are good at what they do, professional, and just trying to run a legitimate business - get slandered by morons.
  13. You're either an elite troll or an elite bench-racer.
  14. Makes sense - thanks for the explanation, Zack.
  15. Do you really need to waste a scholarship on a punter? I figure you could find a decent one through walk-ons. Or am I missing something here?
  16. Wow, fucking fantastic. Urban is spectacular.
