Link Wednesday: Ball-Peen Mjolnir

Posted in Link Wednesday at 8:52 am

I’m thinking that maybe whoever decided that this wasn’t exactly a good use of American military money has never actually played Halo or Half-Life. Because quite frankly, as everyone knows, you can be the nerdiest 90-pound weakling with multiple degrees from MIT and Berkeley, but once you put on a spiffy suit with a cryptic Greek letter on the front, you are the ultimate bad-ass. Hell, put me in one of these things and I’ll go to Iraq myself. Incidentally, there’s a note on the box: “Crowbar not included.”

I am so freakin’ bitter that The Mole got cancelled before I could get on, but crap like Armed and Famous gets produced. I like the idea of giving people an idea of what it’s like to go through police training, but it cheeses me off that they did this with celebrities who have no intention of continuing the job afterwards. Why not just take twelve real people through the training and follow them as they become cops, permanently? Ah well.

Ba dap bab bab baa, I’m Walken it.

I would have quite a bit more to say about Kino’s Journey, but I have yet to finish the last two stories in this volume. (Plus, well, it’s Wednesday.) This backlog didn’t prevent me from picking up Train Man Monday afternoon, or from somehow (read: miraculously) winning an Xbox 360 after my dentist’s appointment yesterday. Suffice to say that I’ll have quite a bit to write about tomorrow.
