They’re flogging this sucker, which has an aspect ratio that can fullscreen standard cinema on a flatscreen TV without black bars. Interestingly, they’re still making the old kind
My wife and I differ on whether this represents a brilliant viral advertising ploy. She pointed out that I am after all writing a blog post explaining this: point taken, but they still probably should have mentioned the TV thing at some time during the shootout.

Something that the British government itself might contemplate, particularly when it comes to pensions.

My buddy Cam (who went with me to the DC Tax Party thing to act as general hanger-outer-with and backup, in case the counter-demonstrators got stroppy*) mentioned to me that Blackfive had picked up all rights to use Military Motivator from the guy who originally did it.

PS: Also, do Marines have indelible ink on their foreheads or something that only another Marine can see? Cam kept finding other Marines all day.
