Robert Alton Harris (January 15, 1953 – April 21, 1992) was an American career criminal and murderer who was executed in San Quentin's gas chamber in 1992. This marked the first execution in the state of California since 1967. Harris had killed two teenage boys in 1978. Harris' execution is specifically remembered for his peculiar choice of final words (recorded by Warden Daniel Vasquez): "You can be a king or a street sweeper, but everyone dances with the grim reaper." This was a reference to the film Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey, released in 1991.

Also, in Tyler Perry's book, Don't Make A Black Woman Take Off Her Earrings, Madea says, "I used to work with Josephine Baker. I used to eat all those bananas she used to wear. She slipped and fell. That's why she went to Paris"

The vinyl version features no run-out groove on Side Two. Instead, it ends on a continuous loop of music that appears after the end of the song "Black Like Me". If left unattended, the record will continue to repeat this loop indefinitely, slowly degrading the quality of the recording, although only for the 1.8 second duration of the loop.

I like that dude imagines Britt Daniel is on some Boyd Rice/Christian Marclay shit to explain away the fact that he's never heard of a locked groove.

The blog opens with Matthew Perpetua in the Hundred Acre Wood going through his morning exercise routine. He discovers that his jar of honey is nearly empty and starts wondering where he can get honey as he eats what's left in the pot. He sees a bee fly by and decides to try to get honey from the bee's hive in the nearby honey tree. He first tries climbing the tree but that doesn’t work when the branch he’s standing on breaks, tumbling him to the ground. He then borrows a blue balloon from Christopher Robin, disguises himself as a little black rain cloud by covering himself with mud, and then uses the balloon to float up next to the hive. A lone bee guard flies out to meet him and is very wary of the little black rain cloud. Perpetua sticks his hand into the hive and pulls out a giant handful of honey. Perpetua then eats the honey, unaware that there are bees left in it. The startled bees start flying around in his mouth forcing him to spit them out.

Perpetua is soon surrounded by angry bees from the hive and his disguise is wearing off. The bee leader sees the little black rain cloud is a bear. Angry, the bee flies at Perpetua and collides with the bear's backside. The sudden hit causes Perpetua to swing upward and back down and jam his rear into the hole, much to the bees' amusement (especially one who starts laughing like a maniac). The hive bees shove Perpetua out of the hole and start chasing him.

During the chase, the string holding the balloon closed comes loose and the balloon flies out of control. Perpetua is taken for a wild ride while the bees laugh hysterically. The chase is reversed as the bees are now chased by Perpetua. The bees retreat into their hive and Perpetua's balloon deflates its last bit of air. The defeated bear falls back to earth and lands in the arms of Christopher Robin. The head bee calls the others to attention and the swarm chases after the two who seek safety in the mud puddle.

In the Holiday Special, the Wookiees of Chewbacca's family are depicted as departing their Kashyyyk home, walking across a galaxy of stars, and arriving at the Tree of Life (note that, although the characters appear, Leia, C-3PO, and R2-D2 have remained on Yavin 4 throughout the Special). This scene should likely be interpreted as abstract or non-canonical. Alternately, if the scene is a literal, factual occurrence, it is possible that either (a.) the Life Day candles are foci of some bizarre and as-yet uncatalogued Force phenomenon, or (b.) the candles contain hallucinogenic drugs the burning of which cause Wookiees to imagine themselves transported across the Galaxy. The first explanation is unlikely, since such devices would almost certainly be reserved for military applications before holiday celebrations; besides which, the occupation of Kashyyyk would have ensured the destruction of all local Force artifacts per general Imperial policy. The second explanation seems more plausible, as it explains both the seeming teleportation and Princess Leia's singing. In addition, religio-pharmacological application of natural hallucinogens is common in primitive cultures.

The song tells the story of a man who loved a woman who did not return his affections. Longing for her companionship, the man went to see a witch doctor for advice on the situation. The wise witch doctor offered his advice saying, "Oo ee, oo ah ah, ting tang, walla walla bing bang" (which is repeated four times as the chorus of the song). At the middle of the song the man tells the woman he loves about his asking the witch doctor for advice.

Recent Projects

On October 6, 2007, Burns announced that he was going to take a six month break from his film career, and then begin gathering information for his next project: Poop: A History of America's Crap. Poop will tell the history of American fecial matter. " First, I would like to research the foundation of the American sewage system, and then focus on some of the largest bowel movements ever to be excreted by a human being." This project should be done by late 2009.

Nitty Gritty
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

Glen Augustus Holness, otherwise known by his stage name Nitty Gritty, was a popular Reggae singer. Born in 1957 in the August Town section of Kingston, Jamaica, he was the second of eleven children born to religious parents.

Before joining up with King Jammy in 1985, he worked with Joe Gibbs, started a group called The Soulites, and was training to be an electrician. The first hit he recorded with King Jammy was "Hog Inna Minty", a Jamaican folk song. Nitty Gritty was the first to record the song and was an instant success. On June 24, 1991, he was killed in front of Super Power Record Shop in New York at the age of 34.

There has been speculation that Nitty Gritty was murdered by Super Cat, although this has never been proved, and Super Cat has denied any involvement.

- Apparently the two had a confrontation and supercat killed nitty in self defense when nitty's gun mis fired.

Individuals vary, but Alpacas generally make a humming sound. Hums are often comfort noises, letting the other alpacas know they are present and content. However, humming can take on many inflections and meanings, from a high-pitched, almost desperate, squealing, "MMMM!" or frantic question, "mmMMM!" when a mother is separated from her offspring (called a "cria,") to a questioning "Mmm?" when they are curious.

Alpacas also make other sounds as well as humming. In danger, they make a high-pitched, shrieking whine. Some breeds are known to make a "wark" noise when excited, and they stand proud with their tails sticking out and their ears in a very alert position. Strange dogs — and even cats — can trigger this reaction. To signal friendly and/or submissive behavior, alpacas "cluck," or "click" a sound possibly generated by suction on the soft palate, or possibly somehow in the nasal cavity. This is often accompanied by a flipping up of the tail over the back.

When males fight they also scream, a warbling bird-like cry, presumably intended to terrify the opponent. Fighting is to determine dominance, and therefore the right to mate the females in the herd, and it is triggered by testosterone. This is why males are often kept in separate paddocks — when two dominant males get together violent fights often occur. When males must be pastured together, it is wise to trim down the large fang-like teeth used in fights, called "fighting teeth". Although alpacas may try to bite each other they only have a bottom row of teeth, so damage is usually minimal. When fighting they will often tangle others necks and attempt to push each other around, but they settle down after a week and agree to a winner and dominant male.

When alpacas breed, males make a similar noise called an "orgle". This is thought to possibly stimulate ovulation in the female. This can sound like a warbling or gargling noise in the back or the throat, possibly generated by movement of the tongue.

This 1990 version of NARC, published by Acclaim Entertainment and developed by Rare Ltd. was billed as "the first video game for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) with a strong anti-drug message"[1]. Despite the NES's system limitations, the game retained most of its violence and gore.

The gameplay was significantly handicapped because of the NES controller's limited number of buttons (only two buttons on the NES whereas the arcade version has four).

Despite the game's strong anti-drug message, Nintendo forced all drug references to be removed from the actual gameplay.
