A Cajun-Asian View

But I doubt they'd go quite like this:

Okay, y'know the Adam West Batman TV show? Well, I dreamed that my roomies and I somehow found out that they'd tried to make a 'Justice League' spinoff, but only ever filmed the pilot, which never even aired. So we were scouring this enormous warehouse of unaired pilots for 60's TV shows, and finally found it! And all the actors were middle-aged and dumpy, and all the costumes were brightly-coloured and kinda stupid, and everybody was deadpanning, and it was great.

I had come across this video of a hip-hop and violin combination and thought it was good enough to merit some props. The guy on the violin is rather good, if a bit harsh on the violin. I'm not a huge fan of hip-hop, but it sounded good to my ears:

Unfortunately for him, though, I can't say he's exactly mind-blowing. Not when he had to compete with these four lovely and extremely talented ladies for that title in the world of music fusion:

The group is Bond, and the song they played there is "Duel". Probably the best sample of classical strings and pop music fusion that I've ever heard. If you want to see talent, you should see them cover "Korobushka":

It's not difficult to believe that there's an equivalent in other fields of music to Dragonforce, but thanks to the internet, I am able to witness it.

Well the New York Mets baseball team organization had a fan vote for a "sing-a-long" song to play in the 8th inning of every home game for the team's last season in Shea Stadium. Well, it looked like a few people on Digg had an idea as the vote included a "write-in" slot in addition to several already picked songs.

The result?

Seems like it was successful.

I wonder if the Mets organization is aware of the rickroll phenomenom?

UPDATE: Huh, looks like the original video was taken down by request of MLB. Got a different one up, but that might be taken down eventually too. In anycase, here's a video by someone recording at the game:

I'm not sure if the crowd is booing the song or not...

I've modified the Mossberg 500 for several reasons:

• I've added an ATI Tactical Stock so that the length of pull (The distance from the butt of the stock to the trigger) could be shortened so my girlfriend could use it. Plus the pistol grip is easier to hold
• Because the new stock is higher than the original, it makes it difficult to aim with the bead sight. So I added a picatinny rail and a cheap red-dot sight on top to facilitate aiming
• Finally, I've added a shotshell holder to the stock, just because...

My next upgrades to the shotgun will include the following:

• A heat shield for the barrel
• A sling
• A tactical light mounted to the front of the tube magazine

That should be it for the Mossberg!

This is my current collection of firearms and airsoft guns, minus the Springfield XD-9 (Which is really my girlfriends) and a Savage Arms 187N .22LR rifle (Which I gave to a shop to repair a broken firing pin). Display from top to bottom, left to right:

• Crosman Sniper R38 airsoft rifle
• Mossberg 500 12-gauge shotgun
• Beretta 92 FS 9mm handgun
• Beretta 92 FS airsoft handgun

You know, these charts and graphs are made of win.

For example:

This is the best use of office applications and tools, ever!

... and Happy Chinese New Year

According to the Daily Advertiser, LUS has announced their roll-out plan. Here's what looks to be the roll-out map:

Looks like where I'm living in is in the Phase I area. Can't wait till I can get it!

UPDATE: Of course, John St. Julien has more info...

Just a video of me emptying a magazine at the local range. My girlfriend was holding the camera.
