I just watched the "Draw" video...thinking of entering some Fark Photoshops. The guy says "....uhhhhh....you just have to dick around with it a little bit."
I think more training videos should contain slang. I'm going to go "fuck around" with my playstation now.
Easy, just pull out your laser key-fob computer

One night around midnight on Market and 5th in San Francisco, a guy came up to me--he was totally tweaking and said he had a brand-new laptop that he needed to get rid of quickly. I looked at it and it was a Sony Vaio laptop box completely shrinkwrapped with a UPC code sticker on it.
He wanted $200 and I said I had $50 but I wanted to open it. We sat down at a bus stop and I proceeded to open it. He said "Oh shit, cops cops cops...give me the money quick." I gave him the money and walked away. He went the other direction. I went home and opened it.
Guess what was in it? Newspaper wrapped around a block of wood. It had the right heft and it was shrinkwrapped.
I laughed--chalked it up to experience and went on with my life. I saw him later trying the same scam and I kind of smiled to myself. Dumb dum dum dum.
I read a story by "Jim Thomson" who used to hang out with hobos. A favorite drink of theirs, when they ran out of alcohol was gas and milk. Can you fucking believe it? Gas and Milk!
The thought of that makes me want to puke while I'm typing this.
He was a good-looking guy who could melt women with his accent. He flirted with women all fucking day. I really admired the dude and marvelled at his audacity and charm. One day he charmingly grabbed the wrong student's ass. She promptly walked to the CEO's office and reported it.
While that probably would have been laughed off by management in France, they canned him quicker than you can say "Frere Jacques."
I work at a large cooking school where there is some emphasis on nutrition but the curriculum teaches classic cooking--meaning French.
Rich sauces and meats are essential to learning how to be a chef. In fact, the chef-instructors get pissed off when they get a student who's a vegetarian or health nut who refuses to try sauces and meat.
I had one French chef come to me one day--he was furious because he had several vegetarians in his class and said "goddammit what the hell are zey doing at a cooking zchool and they don't eat ze fucking meat? How ze hell are zey going to be ze goddamn chef?"
He was an "incredibly" nice guy. A kindly older black gentleman who would go out of his way to help people. One time I was in his car going down 101 and there was a Mexican family on the side of the road with their car broken down. He stopped. We walked back to their car and saw that their axle had fallen off the rear transaxle. They didn't speak english and what little spanish he had, invited them into his car, drove behind the tow truck to a nearby shop. Paid for the repair and said "Jesus loves you" and we went on our way. I was just amazed. He does that kind of thing all the time and doesn't tell anyone.
He never judged anyone. Didn't preach to people. Read his bible quietly and would sprinkle a few "Praise Jesus" non-sequiturs in such a way that would almost make me want to believe.
Most Christians I meet are judgemental, impossible to talk to about any topic: current affairs, politics, pop culture. Holier-than-thou, conservative, vindictive to non-believers.
You should check out the documentary "Fog of War." Robert MacNamara, who served under Curtis LeMay in WWII, fully admitted that, if the US had lost they would have been tried and convicted for war crimes.
They planned the firebombing of Tokyo which killed over 100,000 people. To create a firestorm is a deliberate thing, with incendiary bombs dropped in special patterns to create an inferno which will feed on itself and destroy everything. As was done in Dresden and Hamburg.
If the bombs hadn't been created, they probably would have planned more firebombings. What's worse, getting killed with one bomb or thousands?
By Paul Fussell. He was a soldier who had fought his way across Germany and when they surrendered, his troops were all being shipped over to the Pacific. None of them expected to live. The Japanese were arming women and children with pointed sticks and fighting to the death. (Human wave attacks and the like.)
When the bombs dropped they knew it had saved their own asses and probably lots of Japanese too.
It's easy to make high moral judgements like "we never should have dropped the bombs" without your own life on the line.
bought thousands of Kozmo.com bags for about a buck when they went under. Whenever I go get a P-Trap, a nipple, or a basin cock I carry them home in a Kozmo.com bag. Takes me back.
On a side note, ever wonder why plumbing terms are so sexual?
For the movie "Rainman" the airlines cut the scene out where Dustin Hoffman freaks out in the airport and cites airline crash statistics. The director objected saying it provides the whole reasoning behind the road trip.
My friend saw the movie "The Sweet Hereafter" on an airplane and they cut out the whole father/daughter incest storyline, understandable but kind of ruins a couple plot-points.
Who knows what other cuts are made on other films.
Actually, dad did have a talk with him about it, then sent him to his room. Later on, we picked up the hooker, gave her money and then ran her over to get it back.
We had both finished the game and never tried that.
But, when I went to a friend's house and played it with my friend's 12 year old son in the room (we were just racing around vice city) and the kid yells "pick up the hooker! Give her money and run her over and get it back!" it made me immediately question video games, violence, GTA, and the future of America.
Needless to say, we shut off the game. Asked him where he heard about that (at school) and dad sent him to his room.
Also, the download progress bar is dark blue. The text of the progress of the torrent is black. When the torrent is about 40% finished, you can no longer see the progress of your torrent unless you move your face inches from the screen.

It is not a "slum." It has "character."
I don't pay $900/month to live in a "slum."
N.B. He says "dick around" towards the end, when he's having trouble entering text over a picture.

Also, I just cut and pasted from imdb.com and put in a little HTML to spice it up. Didn't even notice the misspellings.
Career Sergeant Zim: Put your hand on that wall trooper. PUT YOUR HAND ON THAT WALL!
[Zim throws a knife and hits Ace's hand pinning it to the wall]
Career Sergeant Zim: The enemy can not press a button... if you have disabled his hand. Medic!
Ideas are bulletproof!
Maybe I should have posted anon on that story.

I'm not gonna pass on a blind curve! This game is malicious and will give the wrong idea of driving to children. Ban it immediately!

That's my only criticism.
He's not gay, he's just British.
Notwithstanding my technical error regarding mortars/mortar shells.
