WTF?
But you know…it kind of almost works. It’s probably a good thing Freddy Mercury is dead, or this would kill him.
Or…maybe he’d approve. Never met the man.

Scary Manifesto that keeps getting pushed down on the sidebar by filthy capitalism!
They say that Louis XIV had the inscription Ultima Ratio Regum cast into all the cannon of the French Army. It means “The Ultimate Argument of Kings,” and that always struck me as one of the most honest and up-front things any ruler or would-be ruler ever said. “We can dress it up prettier than this, but when it comes down to the unvarnished truth this is what it’s about: You’ll do as I say or I’ll send my goons to kill you.”
I thought about that for a long time. If there’s an ultimate argument, it seems only logical that there must be an ultimate answer. For years I thought the ultimate answer must be the bullets in my rifle, but it never seemed quite right. I’ve got bullets – he’s got frigging Cannon Balls. I mean, if there were three hundred million rifles throwing bullets at him, then maybe. But we all know that’s not going to happen. So if there’s an ultimate answer to his ultimate argument, it sure as hell ain’t bullets.
It finally came to me – and that’s when I abandoned the city and most of my stuff, and gave all that was behind me a good stiff Randian Shrug.
The ultimate answer to kings is not a bullet, but a belly laugh.

Have you heard Hayseed Dixie’s Tribute to AC/DC? Freakin’ awesome!
Off topic: Zombieland came out on dvd today. Uncle W needs to watch it and give me feedback on his opinion of the flick.

Great Video =) Thanks for sharing. L2
L2: Uncle W. has had Zombieland in his Netflix queue since the very day you first mentioned it. Pushed to the top, also. Now it’s just a matter of waiting his turn. Patiently. Yes, very patiently. Or not, as the case may be.
By a wild and unlikely series of circumstances, I have actually seen Zombieland. I’m not a big zombie movie (or Woody Harrelson) fan, but I must admit that it’s very, very entertaining. Also, it has Twinkies.
Twinkies #32: Gotta Enjoy the Little Things.
Since Uncle W. must wait patiently, I must wait patiently as well. Joel, I’m glad your unlikely series of circumstances brought you to a viewing of ZL. I saw it 4 times already, thanks to the local $2 theatre and a few unsuspecting people I was able to drag along with me.
I’ll watch some more Hayseed Dixie on youtube while I wait….

That was awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Huh. I had been wondering where Ari found this. I guess now I know.
