Buried Planet

For the longest time, I was a bystander to gaming trends. Outside of an occasional PC version (say NHL06 may be the last game I had purchased), that is. Well, I may still be a bystander, but we broke down and purchased a console for Christmas - an XBOX 360. I didn't push getting it - if you can believe it - Mrs. Rel did. It is the first system I've had since the Magnavox Odyssey² in the early 1980s. That's right, pre Coleco Vision. 

As the Iowa caucuses come ever closer it seems as though almost any of the candidates could take the top position. Recent polls indicate that roughly half of all potential caucus members are undecided. This has given Rick Santorum a boost.

But that's not the story. What is really shocking is that Santorum's openly pro-life and anti-abortion positions are being attacked in the most disgusting way. Here's a clip of one of Fox New's in-house pet progressives, Alan Colmes, mocking the fact that the Santorums took their stillborn son home to meet his brothers and sisters. Colmes said that the Santorums took their two-hour-old son home and 'played with it.'

Merry Christmas or what ever you celebrate this holiday season to everyone here on Buried Planet! I hope you and your family had a great day!

This Thanksgiving you will have your choice of turkey deep fryer public service announcements. I hope this year you will choose William Shatner's Hallmark Series Thanksgiving Turkey Deep Fryer PSA.

I bid you peace. (steeples fingers and bites lower lip pensively)

 Shatner: "Make sure your dingle-dangle is clean before using." Some observations after the jump.

The Republican sky is clearing. Amid the self-immolation of Perry's cropduster (oops!) and the tragic loss of Cain's Spitfire to the flak of harrassment charges, Romney's lumbering 747 presses on. (Ron Paul's biplane was last sighted heading for the Bermuda Triangle.) As disgruntled passengers on the right search for a new incarnation of anti-Romney, I would have them stop and ask: what's the problem with Romney, exactly?  Does anyone remember?  I ask because I too have have reservations, but I have a feeling they aren't the same reservations as the Tea Party crowd.

Ok, sure, this is embarassing -- but I have to give this guy a lot of credit just for the physical stunts he pulls off. He falls down very convincingly!

This Bollywood clips is equal parts Walking Tall (starring Joe Don Baker), The Matrix and The Six Million Dollar Man. So that's around 295,079,548 rupees (not adjusted for inflation). Also features a woman who is honored to hold the hero's weapon. Some highlights include our hero flipping a thug head-over-heels by twisting his ear and a flying atomic bitch slap. I love a good B-movie -- I should give Bollywood a shot.
