So RANDOM only a modern millionaire with a sinister plan could understand!

Camping out at work with pets sounds fun! We had a storm warning here and it blew off some roofs of houses in the Taranaki but in Wellington it just seems and ordinary fairly blustery day. It is, apparently though the coldest summer in this city since they started keeping records.

My friend knows a guy who had 3 pet crows. He made vending machines that exchanged bird treats for money and took his trained birds to the park. Within 2 days they'd showed 200 birds how to trade money for food. It caused social problems, the bird brains. The police ended the experiment because ravens were robbing government workers if their hot dog money. They sit on their telephone wires like little dark mafia members.

The first three times I read that, I thought you meant you put bird treats in the machine and got money back

I've always thought "Corvid" would be a pretty cool name for a kid

[Ignatius]

I am going to name my kid Brandon Lee Burke

God I love that clip.

Reminds me, if anyone wants a full-size movie poster for The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill, I've got one. Just message me your coordinates, even if they're in another hemisphere. Parrots go everywhere.

K and I used to live at the bottom of Telegraph Hill, in a small hellish 1 bedroom looking out on an avocado tree upon which that infernal flock would sit and squawk all fucking afternoon.

So anyway, great movie, but no way I'm hanging those devils on my wall.

In which Amber Tamblyn is one of my new favorite people who ever made fake rap songs and emailed them to Tyrese Gibson because he thought she was Amber Rose.

"I hate you so much I forgot what I was talking about/Who wants to get Mexican food?"

[coldforge]

So she trolls him and then puts his emails in public? That's pretty mean, isn't it?

[DCDave]

Wife of shitty person also shitty.

Not particularly. Should it? Natives are said to think black birds are so smart that they must have human souls, have been demonstrated as smarter then apes, so I think it's what you come back as if you're bad. They are basically natural born criminals.

The main thing I walked away from was his signature...

"respectfully
tyrese gibson"

i don't get why he has that. i thought you only had to do that, if you worked in an office like me. but you're saying c midlist stars in hollywood have to do that shit too? damn, i guess we're all more alike, than i thought.

[elpollodiablo]

Someone posted the Amber Tamblyn thing on FB yesterday and after reading her WP article I still didn't really know who she was.

[YojimboMonkey]

I was wondering why she looked familiar to me, I looked at the wiki and I think Mindy used to watch that Joan of Arcadia show.

[coldforge]

My two cents: you should feel bad about it.

This has been: coldforge's two cents.

I suppose if one feels bad about it, it creates a potential restraint on one's actions during future fights?  I thought the most striking part of the Tyson documentary was when he talked about how, during fights, he imagines punching directly through his opponents' heads.

[elpollodiablo]

I thought the most striking part was when he was struggling to hold back tears when talking about how once he learned how to beat ass, he knew no one would fuck with him ever again.

That's pretty much what you're supposed to do, though, right?
