Have you ever noticed how Hitler looks like Mickey Mouse in some pics, with those ridiculous shorts? Apparently he loved Walt Disney; Steam-boat Willie was his fave. (Random knowledge ftw)

I thought walt disney was in switzerland at the time? Wasn't this before he had a career in cartooning.

Acording to Wiki there were Mickey Mouse cartoons on TV, in colour, in 1935.. Also at the bottom it says how he met a Nazi german film propagadist in the '30s, as well.

It's not like Mickey and Donald, or even Pluto were guilty of war-crimes against civilians, though, is it?

Who knows with cartoons back in the day. I'll bet you'll never see the racist bugs bunny cartoons the same way again. TV for the most part won't even allow that shit to air just for the sheer racism involved. Of course nobody cares about making fun of nazis but japanese are a different story. Of course under-estimating your enemies is always a bad idea.
Edit:
Ok i beat dragon age: origins finally. It wasn't easy at first but i managed to kill the archdemon on my second try. Honestly that's not bad considering all the trouble i had the last time. I just kicked it's ass. I had a rogue that i used against it and this time it helped that i could unjam the ballistas. I even got an achievement for holding back most of my armies and taking on the castle area mostly by myself. Even against the archdemon i only used up all my dwarfs and then mostly just used the redcliffe soldiers. I didn't even use any of the mages or elves during the playthrough where i beat the archdemon. So basically they were all unused. I still have yet to get all the achievements. It'd take at least another playthrough to get most of them. Damn those achievements they're so addictive to try and get.

Drug overdose? That's usually the cause. Well an autopsy will figure that out.

Drug overdose or organ failure is what i am assuming. If only he actually had an inv. save...now they're retiring the flattus character completely

From what i've read and heard U.S. history isn't quite as honorable as you think. In parts it has good intentions but some of the leaders even early on seemed corrupt and obsessed with power and some had sad stories. Many of them were interesting but meh you know. Gotta say when i saw the american revolution the boston tea party was kind of a dick move but closing down boston harbor and making the whole port pay for the tea some people spilled and constantly pissing off locals which already hate you and having them pay and provide room and board for them as they stay to patrol your city and watch you really chaps at your ass. Really though it was an unfortunate war with atrocities caused on both sides.
The War of 1812 despite what people will tell you nobody won. We burned down canada's capital and they burned down ours. You don't see americans proudly telling you about the battle of new orleans do you? It was 80 casualties to your thousands led by andrew jackson himself. In the treaty nobody won but both sides respected each other although indians as always were fucked over. You canadians also lost the indian chief tecumseh and the other top general. However everybody treats 1812 like a british win. Yes we started it and suffered badly at first and at washington d.c. However it ended in a treaty which compromised.
Finally there was supposedly the battle of texans vs the mexicans. We won that fight and texas became independent from both the U.S. and mexico for a time until we admitted it to the union. Sad thing is i feel mexico was in the right. They allowed americans to settle in their country if they followed some rules and they didn't and some came by illegally. It's as if illegal immigrants came to the U.S., disrespected our rules and then ended up fighting a war against us. I'm not exactly sure who started the war and though we lost at the alamo we managed to win the war but only due to waiting for the right moment for mexico's forces to make a bad move.
There was a lot more of the U.S. than war however. We also created things like the cotton gin. Then we slowly industrialized in the 1830's. Steamboats, trains, etc. being used. Back in the early 1800's it became good to be a free white man of voting age. However being female, indian or black whether free or slave sucked.

I thought it was the food when you said that. So apparently it's pot or something. Honestly so what one of my cousins, my half nephew, my half nephew's girlfriend, my nephew's girlfriend's brother and my nephew's friends all smoked pot at least once. Honestly to me it's no big fucking deal. It's like the college drug of choice and the negative effects aren't too huge either.

Had a sex dream (gots a blow job) that also showed one of my cousins and his girlfriend doing it in a unisex bathroom. Surprisingly sex seemed common in those bathrooms and they had condom machines. It was weird.
Also had another dream with a starcraft/starcraft 2 game being played by me and some others. Early on i was terran but switched to protoss because dreams lack consistency. Now i want to play some starcraft 2. I may practice as protoss a bit now as i never play them and they've interested me. Terrans are pretty fun though. Zerg kind of confuse me in their starcraft 2 form. I'd prefer to learn all the armies over single-player first.
I played warhammer fantasy against my roommate several days ago at a GW. I was obviously going to beat him. I skitterleaped a warlock engineer near his black coach and then threw a brass orb at it. I killed his black coach instantly. I may try similar tactics in later games with other opponents. I don't even think this is the first time i've done that. It's a hit or miss type of attack but it's very fun. Might try similar with cracks call vs dwarfs if i can even get the skitterleap off first. Then again throwing a huge ass brass orb at a large number of dwarfs or ogres might be even more amusing. Cracks call against ogres is also fun since their initiative is so low. Considering these tests instantly kill each guy it'll lower their forces pretty quick. Btw just thought of using cracks call and brass orb vs trolls which are initiative 1 or lizardmen which have poor initiative. Oh man that would just make my day. Hell even minotaurs might have initiative 3. Oh this has totally opened up new uses for cracks call. I only imagined using it on artillery. However with the new 10 man long ranks i can use it on those just fine too. I'm really hoping to kill artillery with initiative tests though as i hate stone throwers, mortars, cannons and etc always pissing me off and killing some of my best stuff.

Stone throwers. Hah! The dwarves get lots of those war machines.

I hate stone throwers because for one the center does plenty of damage and it can flatten monsters or artillery or you can use it to destroy hordes. Cannons are str 10 and do d6 wounds. They're really both pretty nasty. So far i haven't seen anybody use dwarf flame cannons but maybe they will when i fight other dwarf players. Maybe flame cannons just suck though. A lot of the empire artillery seems good though. Really i think i can do fine against most dwarf armies until battles exceed 3k points. I say this because empire and dwarfs can field 1-3 of these stupid artillery pieces per choice as one choice and they can have up to two of the same rare choices. However at 3k points you get to have double as much of these choices and they can have 4 of the same rare choice. Imagine dwarfs with several grudge throwers, several cannons, organ guns (not too bad) and every other stupid thing they can field. Dwarfs can be pretty nasty. However empire will always be much worse. Maybe i should've taken a nightrunner force if only so i could move faster and get things clogged in melee faster.

Nice man and good luck with your game. Anybody in particular from the IGMB that you'll be playing. It'd be fun to hear about you playing against trickstick. Also i may get to play a game on maybe saturday and another day. Gotta hurry up and be at GW at the right time or else i'll have to wade through all the ridiculous gamer traffic in the store.
Also top of the news today obama stationed some military in australia because of china being dicks. Obama i swear if you start a 3rd world war with your shit i will end you. To be fair at least somebody has the balls to talk back to china but these days a war is never the answer. Nukes make a war never the answer not to mention the devastation and loss of lives. I'd just rather not be a cog or pawn in a military plan. I don't want to waste my life for something stupid esp. if my general is a dumb ass or considers life expendable. I wouldn't mind dying too much but not like that man. There's something scary about the idea of dying en masse due to tanks and guns and people that might still use torture.
Anyway my point is obama should've just put out an embargo on china. I'm glad he has the balls to talk back to china but he's doing stupid shit. They need to understand they're hurting the rest of the world and he needs to understand he's making a dumb move that's pushing us towards a war.
