Thank you George, you were one of the only ones who really told it like it is.

Dead at 71.
Sux.
Washingtonpost.com is reporting that the legendary George Carlin, a counter-culture hero famed for his routines about drugs and dirty words, died of heart failure at a Los Angeles-area hospital Sunday, a spokesman said. He was was 71.
As I was going through the categories I noticed that I could use more than half of them to reference his material and his life. he was a fucking funny guy.

Analemma over Ukraine
Explanation: If you took a picture of the Sun at the same time each day, would it remain in the same position? The answer is no, and the shape traced out by the Sun over the course of a year is called an analemma. The Sun’s apparent shift is caused by the Earth’s motion around the Sun when combined with the tilt of the Earth’s rotation axis. The Sun will appear at its highest point of the analemma during summer and at its lowest during winter. Analemmas created from different Earth latitudes would appear at least slightly different, as well as analemmas created at a different time each day. The analemma pictured to the left was built up by Sun photographs taken from 1998 August through 1999 August from Ukraine. The foreground picture from the same location was taken during the early evening in 1999 July.

Al Deppe’s
Al Deppe’s was a staple in Staten Island, NY. We used to eat there the 1st Saturday of every month. The best wieners ever. They had a live chicken in a wire mesh cage; you put a nickel in the slot and it released some corn and the chicken would peck at the food which caused a little hollow ball to come out. In the ball was a question; if you answered the question correctly you got a free ice cream cone.
What category would this be?
Extreme Home Protection
this is my friend’s, (DHG), AR-15 Assualt Rifle he picked up a couple months ago. As you can see, it has some pretty good tactical equipment on it and it is laying on top of a plate carrier with multicam MOLLE gear pouches.
