I wonder what the ramifications would have been if Art had shot the fucker.  I feel like it should have been justified even if he didn't see a gun, but I'm not familiar with Nevada law.

look up
NRS 200.200  Killing in self-defense.  If a person kills another in self-defense, it must appear that:
      1.  The danger was so urgent and pressing that, in order to save the person’s own life, or to prevent the person from receiving great bodily harm, the killing of the other was absolutely necessary; and
      2.  The person killed was the assailant, or that the slayer had really, and in good faith, endeavored to decline any further struggle before the mortal blow was given.
      [1911 C&P § 137; RL § 6402; NCL § 10084]

 

Art is not going to quit. Quitting means, "They won."

He shouldn't ask AT&T, he should call NSA.

My money is on a cat dying or something.

I think Art would have revealed that something happened to one of his cats. My concern is that there was an attempted burglary and they may have been casing the place yesterday. The holidays are when people get robbed because people assume that the home is empty. I hope everything is going to be okay, though.

Fans of Giorgio Moroder, I was just emailed an announcement that Moroder is signing at Amoeba Music in San Francisco on December 5. Details: http://www.amoeba.com/live-shows/upcoming/detail-3522/. I wonder who will show up with a first pressing of the Midnight Express soundtrack.

I worked with two people who had to evacuate due to Chernobyl. They both found it unremarkable. One had to take iodine. One had to throw out the sweater she was wearing when the cloud was above. Completely unphased. They're US citizens now, though. Wouldn't ever think of returning to Kiev or Belarus.

They test a siren every Tuesday at noon in San Francisco. You can hear it across the whole east side of the city, and sometimes even further west of downtown. Check it out:

I hated the fact that "Threads" showed that cat burning. Uncool BBC!

EXACTLY! It really left an imprint on me.

"Threads" was on the BBC for 15+ audience. I was about 11 when I saw it air for the first time on regular television. Scared me more than "The Day After." I was already having nuclear holocaust nightmares before seeing it. My hometown was 37 miles from a nuclear plant in Seabrook, NH. For both movies, the local news reporter from our hometown paper stopped my mother on the street to ask her if she watched the programs and what she thought. Both times she said that her child was really upset about the depiction of dying animals. I don't think we saved the newspaper for the clippings.

Art just popped onto Periscope.

Thanks for the alert!

Hi All, I think we'd all know if something was gonna hit us because we've got too many expensive things out in space to not be looking for it.

I went to a meteor talk at the Royal Observatory 2-1/2 months following the Chelyabinsk meteor. The experts quickly knew it was part of the near-Earth asteroid event. I was the one on the outer periphery of the round room of about 12 people. I only got in at the last minute. I got to ask the question about sheep farmers having witnessed many meteors, have they ever found any of their flock hit or injured? The room was silent and then the expert very seriously said a meteor crashed into a house in Peru, supposedly it killed a llama and a sheep, but the story was told fourth hand and no photographic evidence exists. Some British folk came up to me after to tell me they liked my question and said, "Can you imagine, the wool and the animal on fire?"

I think "contamination" is an understatement. I'm not convinced these are real.

Would we have all immediately known that it was Manos Hands of Fate w/o MST3k?

Sure GOT EM DIDNT I!>!>

bahahahaha!!!!

I remember first hearing about dermoids and felt so creeped out. A co-worker's wife was a surgeon. The internet was young. Taught me not to look for everything in pictures on the internet.

Can't believe nobody picked up on my David Bowie reference...


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7jLtOkumiY

You remind me of the babe...

Yes, I got the reference once I could make out what you were saying. The sound quality or the way the word was said was not easy to understand. I know Labyrinth all too well, though.

You weren't the Bowie call?

I was the Bowie call.

The audio cut out when Art picked up my Skype call, so I didn't hear for sure if he said my name. No wonder callers sound so confused, if this is their experience, too.  I felt very rushed and couldn't set up the facts well enough. There were more wild things about my story, but once he said to cut to the chase, I had to leave out some stuff. Thanks, Patrick (I think), for mentioning the Labyrinth reference. And then Art lowers my audio because I'm laughing about something, so when I answer him about whether it is truth or trash, you don't hear me and I have to repeat what I said. I said the most essential things, I think.

hey, guys, did you hear my shout out to you!?

So I'm dialing through Skype and my lights blink two different times and my DSL goes down. I'm retrying to get through, but I have to preface that if I get disconnected, it is completely beyond my control. This has not happened often so something had to have happened nearby. It may be the heat.

No ladies trying to be jurors?

I have a wild story. I'll try to call in and give you guys a shout out!

Arts on periscope right now just fyi

Link, please!!
Thank you

oh, Art, you're so patient!

Hi Everyone,

It's not surprising that this guy confesses to the STD. I predicted this already upon hearing the last guy who made "the deal". I suspect not many women are going to fess up to having a deal with the devil for sex.

"What's the worst that could happen if we make Donald Trump Commander-in-Chief of the most powerful military in the history of the world?"

Someone already thought of the Trump Presidential Library unveiling http://cfif.org/v/index.php/commentary/54/2643-news-of-the-future-the-trump-presidential-library-satire.

It all makes sense now.

If someone gets through, find out if Steven Spielberg ever asked to be taken back to dinosaur days.

Great movie made for, what, $50,00 or so?  Awesome.

yeah, $7,000 back in the early 00s

I love the film Primer, but it never airs on cable. Perhaps because if you start watching it after missing the beginning, you don't know what the hell is going on. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0390384/

Keith really needs to do something about the photo sizes on Art's website... They are all extrmely downscaled.
I wish you could click on them to see the original size instead of what is pretty much a thumbnail.

I enlarged my screen a few percentages CTRL+ or on MAC command+
