Evidently, that sign didn't work

When in doubt, empty the clip

- The story is slightly aged, but it's probably still fresher than the last packet from Telkom.

- "Muskelkraft Flieger" would also make a great rock-band name.

- They're trying, but without a towel and large, friendly letters reading "DON'T PANIC", this is going nowhere fast.

- Having decided to take my chances without the above, I'd like to have one of these instead. (With video goodness.)

- Evidently, we're just not modeling hard enough; pass the chicken entrails and bones, please.

- Speaking of financial modeling...

I'm interested to know if this works

We Have Nothing To Say

I'm mildly surprised that this wasn't posted (mysteriously) until just recently, but then again, considering it's a Canadian broadcast and wholesome-yet-funny entertainment, perhaps it isn't so surprising after all.

This rant has been a trail-marker for my posting and commenting habits for many years, and it is past due to be shared.

I'd change the name to "Wolverine Motors"

My hat is off to this man, and his excellent model of salesmanship:

Mark Muller, owner of Max Motors, is upgrading an earlier sales gimmick in which he offered new truck buyers to choose between a $250 gas voucher or a gun voucher. The website says the dealer is giving away guns again "due to popular demand."

"Muller calls the initial deal an overwhelming success," Business Insider reports. "He also says it generates a lot of publicity and really angers 'liberals.'"

Muller tells CNN he is won't be handing out the free weapons personally but will give buyers a voucher to use at a gun store.

The AK-47 isn't typically a "precision" rifle, but the name has universal recognition, and the ZOMG-factor of getting one (via voucher) with one's new truck should not be discounted. To the contrary, it seems to be working out for Mr. Muller just fine.

Personally, I'd rather have the extra cash from buying a used truck (a depreciating asset of flexible value), then use the surplus to buy several quality firearms and corresponding ammunition by the case, but that's just me.

Ask about his Comeback Tour

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure:

Michael Jackson will be buried this week– without his brain. As his family tries to finalise details for the King of Pop’s funeral on Tuesday they have been told it will be held back for tests.

They faced the grim choice of waiting up to three weeks for Jackson’s brain to be returned to them or go ahead and bury him without it – which they have decided to do.

I think we all know why, though.
