Season Shot - Ammo with flavor
3 easy steps.
"Season Shot is made of tightly packed seasoning bound by a fully biodegradable food product. The seasoning is actually injected into the bird on impact seasoning the meat from the inside out. When the bird is cooked the seasoning pellets melt into the meat spreading the flavor to the entire bird.

I think the American Sign Language Browser (ASL) Browser maintained by Michigan State University is an amazing resource. I actually took a few ASL classes while in college and wish this were available back then. Being the silly person I am, I thought I would share a few of my favorites new signs I learned.
See if you can guess what the meaning before clicking on the answer and let me know if you have other favorites:
(the answer) -- I like this one 'cause it has attitude.
(the answer) -- The mouth/hand proximity is too much for me.
(the answer) -- Does it have to bounce for it to be understood?

Viral Classic | Wilhelm Scream Compilation
From wikipedia:
The Wilhelm scream is a stock sound effect first used in 1951 for the movie Distant Drums. It has been featured in dozens of movies since. Alongside a certain recording of the cry of the Red-tailed Hawk, the "Universal telephone ring" [1] and "castle thunder," it is probably one of the most well-known cinematic sound clichés.

Seattle Man Sells His 'Blackness' On eBay
"Atkinson, a University of Washington graduate student. He offered his 'blackness' for sale to make a point.
Ebay's response? "They said it was deemed hateful and discriminatory," says Atkinson. Ebay pulled the listing, citing its usage terms that state "sellers may not list items that promote or glorify hatred, violence, or racial intolerance."
Atkinson, 32, says he was trying to do the opposite.
"I want people to be aware that racism is pervasive," he said.
His sale of blackness, his perspective for sale was meant to get people thinking about racism."

Rap Lyrics Translated
Easily a very old page with rap lyrics translated for the song 'One more chance' by Notorious B.I.G. Pretty funny still.
Lyrics:
First things first, I poppa, freaks all the honeys
Dummies - playboy bunnies, those wantin’ money
Those the ones I like ‘cause they don’t get nathan’
But penetration, unless it smells like sanitation
Garbage, I turn like doorknobs
Heart throb, never, black and ugly as ever
However, I stay coochied down to the socks
Rings and watch filled with rocks
TRANSLATION:
As a general rule, I perform deviant sexual acts with women of all kinds, including but not limited to those with limited intellect, nude magazine models, and prostitutes. I particularly enjoy sexual encounters with the latter group as they are generally disappointed in the fact that they only receive penile intercourse and nothing more, unless of course, they douche on a consistent basis. Although I am extremely unattractive, I am able to engage in these types of sexual acts with some regularity. Perhaps my sexuality is somehow related to my fancy and expensive jewelry.
