Unless there's some downside I'm nto aware of, I recommend imageshack. I've been using it for a long time. You don't have to sign in and there's no limits. Just upload and copy the link
After looking at my DVD collection, let me add some more. I don't know if they're underrated or not but... whatever:
The Road To Wellville
Spies Like Us
Suicide Kings
Grosse Point Blanke.
Plus one of my favorite movies of all time:
Arsenic And Old Lace.
I was going to say Top Secret, I grew up watching that movie over and over. Probably explains a lot.
Here's my list, I'm not going to check if they've already been mentioned or not:
Sneakers, Spartan, Super Troopers, Kung Pow, 5th Element, Best In Show, Dirty Work, Equilibrium, Evolution, Fletch, Robin Hood - Men In Tights and Spaceballs (and any other Mel Brooks movie), Zoolander
These aren't what you're looking for but here's a few generally amusing sites that I try to visit every so often.
BBspot - satire and daily links
Low Culture - political and entertainment satire/humor
jengajam - daily links in many categories. I just go for the photosCellar.org Image of the Day - obviously one interesting photo daily
Cool site. Anyone else notice the first item in the link to General Purpose tools is submitted by someone named William Gibson. I almost expected the description to be about using it enlarge the jack port on your Ono-Sendai or something.
That site is a spoof but it is said that certain agencies have ways to booby trap cell phones with a very small bit of plastic explosives. They can call the number and when someone answers they push a certain combination and *poof*
The link is dead but here's the story at yahoo and it seems to be saying the 337,000 jobs were created in October alone, yet unemployment still rose .1% -- I swear I'll never understand this stuff.
I was under the impression that, due to population growth and what not, the country had to create something like 100,000(?) new jobs every month just to break even. Do the figures they release take things like that into account? Or, if we gain 105,000 new jobs one month, are we really only "gaining" 5,000?
I can't see how anyone could possibly misunderestimate his views. It's right there in black and white:
"I view the definition of marriage difference from legal arrangements that enable people to have rights. And I strongly believe that marriage ought to be defined as between, a union between a man and a woman," Bush said. "Now, having said that, states ought to be able to have the right to pass … laws that enable people to you know, be able to have rights, like others."
I mean, what, you people can't read gibberish or something?
I am a wildly unpredictable ninja pirate monkey and my superhero power is the ability to dissolve human gonads with a single well-placed glare.
I'm not afraid of people with strong views, but since I do have a certain attachment to my gonads (literally), I'd breathe a bit easier if you'd get signs, shirts and stickers with that warning so I'd know to avoid you.
Here in Tennessee they often put signs in the grass median on the highways and I tend to run over Bush signs that are placed just inches from the road, though I haven't seen many yet this year. I wouldn't bother them in somone's yard but I consider them fair game if placed on public property.
I only wish Kerry had more support here so I could run over his signs too.
(I drive a Jeep and wouldn't recommend doing this in, say, a Honda Accord or anything.)
I agree with more gun regulation so long as it's effective. I'd especially like to see some sort of safety class requirments so people know not to leave their guns laying around for their kids to grab and run amok with at school.
I have a question since we're on the topic: Any opinions from any enlightened monkeys, especially any who dont shoot, on concealed carry laws? That's where people can get a permit to carry a handgun. Do you feel comfortable that people in the general public can walk around with a pistol concealed on their person? Do you feel any more or less safe knowing that the guy in line in front of you at McDonald's may be carrying a gun?
I'm a shooter, though not one of those nutty NRA types, and I've never understood the "assault weapon" ban. Most of those weapons are only "outlawed" because of their looks although they function just the same as any other gun. Plus, it's not like these weapons are unavailable, you just have to have the right paperwork and background checks and either pay a certain tax or get a certain license.
Full autos are pretty dangerous weapons, but they've always been hard to buy, at least for the last century or so, and as far as I remember the "assault weapon" ban doesn't really have much to do with them.
Personally I've always felt that Uzis, MAC-10s, high-cap mags, and all that crap are for people that can't hit anything. I shoot pistol competitions and I'd honestly much rather get into a gunfight with an Uzi packing gangsta than the fat insurance salesman with a 7-shot .45 that knows how to consistently put lead on target.
Side note: most competition shooters use extended magazines in their pistols, I've never heard of a criminal using one.
I live in Knoxville. As it is now you can't go inside. There used to be a restaurant at the top of the thing, now all it contains is a webcam. I'd go to it if they opened another restaurant, otherwise it's just a landmark.

Deffinately 1 mens XL. I love the design but I missed the voting. Was the Minkeyfilter banner up for vote? It seems like it would make a good T.
