FROM THE TOURETTES GUY SITE: Although he has been diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome, his actions are influenced by other problems (including alcohol) and are not consistent with most Tourettes syndrome sufferers. In exchange for a few laughs, please educate yourself about the realities of Tourette Syndrome from a reputable site such as this one. http://www.kidshealth.org/parent/medical/brain/tourette.html
-safe to say that "A combination of numerous psychiatric disorders and alcohol create entertainment. RIP, home skillet" p.s. sorry for being a smartass.
In reply to this comment by Jordass: My brother has tourettes and its pretty safe to say this guy doesnt have it. The tick of uncontrollable cursing at times of stress is a trait sometimes though this guy shows anger and the want to curse so he is in complete control. Probably a parody.
Yeah I saw them in Chicago and I have to say they were as funny as ever.
In reply to this comment by Jordass: The just performed a live show in LA a month ago. It was awesome to see the cast back together again. While doing a wardrobe change they played this skit on the screen. Long live Kith!
and right you are sir! Always good to get back to the pure intertainment bliss of internet videos
In reply to this comment by Jordass: I cant lie, its the simple things in life that make it enjoyable. With all the political/religious debates on the sift, artistic expression, and free flowing of thoughts. Sometimes its needed just to sit back, relax, and watch
sometimes its just quirky, just delete it and grab the code again
In reply to this comment by Jordass: Hey I saw you submitted Metal Gear Awesome 2 from Gametrailers.com. I had the first one from youtube but its dead now. I tried "fixing embedded code" with the gametrailers one but it keeps saying invalid. Just wondering if there is anything I need to do to submit something from that site?
The M4 is a good weapon, provided it's user takes care of it. The Heckler and Koch they speak if is an excellent weapon, and jams much less. But yeah, that general was right - there's no point in replacing what we have now until there is a far superior weapon available.
In reply to this comment by Jordass: I asked Farhad about this article http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24229068 to get his opinion on if its truth or just media bullshit. Wondered if your thoughts differed at all since there has been countless debates about military weaponry. On the sift
The following weapons are much better then the M4; the FN SCAR, the HK416 and the XM8 from Heckler & Koch. The XM8 was about to be picked up a few years ago but it all stopped.
All the weapons are mentioned are from Belgium and Germany, a military arms contract for the US Army would mean a huge loss for Colt which is a US arms firm. There is external pressure to keep with Colt even though its now an inferior design. 40 year old weapon design for a grunt field weapon is too long, its outdated, the AK has evolved in leaps and bounds comparatively to the 74 and 101 spec.
"Other issues were that the Army has a legislated obligation to prefer U.S.-based manufacturers, and that a previous agreement with Colt Defense required the Army to involve Colt in certain small-arms programs." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XM8_rifle
Note: "Colt Defense LLC is the sole source supplier of the M4 Carbine to the US military and the only manufacturer worldwide that meets or exceeds all US military specifications for the weapon."
My personal belief is that there is also external pressure to hold off on replacing the rifles and carbine (as mentioned in the article) for something that is Future Combat spec like the OICW, but coming from a US manufacturer and not a German one (regardless of the fact that global economics means that the rifle would actually be made in Georgia). The XM spec weapons directly came from the OICW.
I don't believe the trails are done so much from a grunt perspective but from a cost benefit analysis with some big weights pressing to continue with the Colt license, Colt losing it and actually making a better weapon then the M4 is a huge financial loss for them.
heh. only just came across your comment, in reassigning some of my clips to the new channels. thx. and way cool that Jack Elam was your uncle, btw. one of my favorite character actors.
Hmm, I dont know.. I think you should be able to requeue your own videos..? I think its the promoting of other peoples videos that requires gold star.. Youll have to ask Dag or Lucky about this, I'm not sure.
Jack Elam was your Uncle? Man, that guy had a beautiful face- sincerely. Leone had an amazing eye for interesting faces, which is shown to amazing effect in this scene. Too bad he wasn't quicker on the draw, he might still be alive today!
In reply to this comment by Jordass: Big upvote, not only because its an awesome opening scene but out of respect for my great Uncle the fuckin man Jack Elam
In reply to this comment by Jordass: Not a topic many people want to talk about but its absolutely true that MLK's message has been lost since his death, which I guess was the point in murdering him. We prop him up as a saint but really give no thought to what he was saying. Just because you name a street after him or even if you're black it doesnt mean you understand let alone follow the great things he stood for. I think this clip though for comedy purposes isnt far from what really would happen. It seems his memory is used just to push other peoples agenda. (Ex: college campus I heard a Pro Affirmative action speech using MLK's memory when in fact based on his own logic he would not be in favor of Affirmative action, but to bring that to their attention you must be a racist)

So much for free markets eh?

I know there was a lot of debate on military weapons on certain posts. Saw this http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24229068 and wondered if you or MGR thought it had any weight or just the media making shit up again
