“We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical; our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery, we need humanity. More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost”

U-S-A!

I know gifs don’t have music, but I can still hear the faint notes of Lee Greenwood belting out “I’m proud to be an American.”

You’d think that someone with the hand-eye coordination to catch a foul ball in a beer cup could probably manage to pour his beer into his mouth.

Nope.

Also: Stoked friend in GIF #3 is a total scene stealer.

2012 NFL Predictions

Wed, 29 Aug 2012 23:53:00 -0400

I pooped my pants a little when I saw this live. Probably the best dunk I’ve ever seen (over the LeBron dunk of a couple days ago, Vince Carter’s dunk over the Frenchman in the Olympics, and Tom Chambers’ knee-to-the-chest dunk).

I’m still buzzing.

MUST WATCH: Blake Griffin just won Dunk of the Year.

And Kendrick Perkins is 6 feet deep. Milk. Shake.

Blake Griffin you are RE-DUNK-ULOUS

Burgess Meredith on the post-nuclear set of “Time Enough to Last” (1959)

“The best laid plans of mice and men and Henry Bemis, the small man in the glasses who wanted nothing but time. Henry Bemis, now just a part of a smashed landscape, just a piece of the rubble, just a fragment of what man has deeded to himself. Mr. Henry Bemis, in the Twilight Zone.”

-Rod Serling, “Time Enough to Last”, The Twilight Zone

One of my favorite all time episodes.

“That’s not fair. That’s not fair at all. There was time now.”
