Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The monk did win, almost entirely due to the weaponry. Mostly the twin hooks

That's their only winning weapon! I've never seen that before. Normally it's 2 and 2.

William Wallace looks to have chainmail. Doesn't seem a fair fight.

And the last is Taliban vs. IRA. They're really going to have someone represent the Taliban and trash talk? Not that I think it's a good thing, but I have little doubt about finding an IRA proponent on US TV.

All this having been said, it's a dumb show, but I'm still going to watch the Aftermath of the Spetsnaz/Green Beret episode.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

The authors' key finding is that support for policies designed to address gender equity is greater among parents with daughters. This result emerges particularly strongly for fathers.

And, in other news, rain falls from clouds, boiling water becomes steam, an object in motion tends to stay in motion and Lana's parents are dead.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Phoenix man killed in gun-safety demo

A 26-year-old Phoenix man accidentally killed himself early Sunday while explaining gun safety to two Sierra Vista residents.

Samuel Benally Jr. was at an apartment on West Tacoma Street when he said guns should be kept unloaded because people could point them at their heads, said Sierra Vista police Sgt. Brett Mitchell.

Benally then demonstrated by putting his own 9mm Ruger, which he believed to be unloaded, to his head and firing it, Mitchell said.

Benally was flown to University Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead, Mitchell said.

An investigation is ongoing, but police do not believe alcohol or drugs were involved, Mitchell said.

I thought you were supposed to assume every gun is loaded, and therefore not do things like point a gun at your head and pull the trigger.

A friend of mine's dad once gave a lecture on gun safety to his family. He said (to the effect), "Now I know this gun isn't loaded" and then proceeded to shoot a hole through the living room window.

Even if the gun is loaded that can be a fatal move--see Hexum, Jon Erik.

Idjit.

Looks like The Unit has been cancelled. Weird last season. I wonder if that had anything to do with it.

Our wings are not tired.

My dad always made a big deal out of cleaning his rifles outside and never bringing them inside loaded. Until one cold hunting trip when his family was not in the camp.... We teased him for years about the hole that went through the wall and then through the headboard of his bed.

I won't even let the kids point goofy looking fake guns. Freaks me out. Water pistols not allowed in the face either. I be mean mom.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh Jesse. Does your work do like neighborhood centers? Specifically tutoring?

Yeah, in a lot of places -- tutoring wouldn't be a national mandate, but I know many locals do it because of course kids need it!
