Dhoom 2

Would you like to spend some time staring at insanity? If so, I have the movie for you. It's the Bollywood blockbuster Dhoom 2. This movie is streaming right now on Netflix. This movie would be the result if you put the following things in a blender and turned it on high: The Pink Panther, MTV, the country of India, the X Games, and those most interesting man in the world commercials.

If you decide against all sound reason and good sense to watch Dhoom 2, you'll need a path back to reality. If you have my phone number, watch the movie and call me. I'll talk you back to the part of reality that everything besides Dhoom 2 occupies. If you don't have my number, I advise you to keep a copy of your local paper nearby. After watching the movie, read that paper (every word) three or four times. That should bring you back.

I pity those who get trapped in the world of Dhoom 2. There should be a foundation or at least a support group for helping those people.

Have fun but be careful. Do not fall into the abyss.

Dissecting a Sign Seen in Eden, Texas

IMG_7043

I saw this sign in Eden, Texas over the weekend. I don't understand it. The text at the top says "Experience the Blessings". The "D" in "EDEN" has a fruit with a bite taken out of it. In light of what Eden is in the Bible, what could it mean? It must mean the sign is encouraging people to come to Eden and eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. However, when Adam did that, God wasn't happy.
And unto Adam He said: 'Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying: Thou shalt not eat of it; cursed is the ground for thy sake; in toil shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life.

That hardly sounds like a blessing to me.

So, it must mean that the people of Eden, Texas don't believe in the Bible. They must be heathens who are encouraging people to "eat of the tree of knowledge" and reap the benefits of that. They must believe in Reason over Faith. That's pretty surprising. Many small Texas towns are very religious. However, it looks like atheists everywhere have a home in Eden.

Bad Disc Golf Basket Location

This hole was at MacKenzie Park in Lubbock, Texas. It has to be the worst basket location I've ever seen. It's very possible to throw a shot from the tee box and end up 5 feet from the basket with no chance to make your next shot. Not cool.
