Jackie Chan And Kobe Bryant Would Be The Best Interracial Power Friends The Planet Has Ever Seen

View this post on Instagram

Thank you Jackie for a great dinner in Beijing!

A post shared by Kobe Bryant (@kobebryant) on

Everyone knows by now that greatness recognize greatness. It doesn’t matter your skin color or nationality or career. When you’re at the top world you look down on everyone all the same. Just two rich guys having dinner talking about how great it is to be rich and legends in their craft. Kinda crazy too since these are relatively contemporaries. Both broke out to mainstream success in the mid 90’s and dominated their craft. Arguably the only black guy Chinese people know since he always comes over and it so dominant and probably the only Asian most American’s know because Rush Hour 1 and 2 are cultural bridges between two American minorities. Such a power team.

Does This Look Like The Face Of A Guy Who Pretended To Be Jason Aldean To Swindle Cash And Sex From A Woman?

LARGOS, Fla. — Authorities arrested a Florida man after he allegedly posed as country music star Jason Aldean and swindled a mentally handicapped woman out of cash. He also allegedly convinced her to have sex with him. >> Read more trending stories Largos police arrested Daniel Michael Farris, 27, on Tuesday, according to records from the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office. He faces charges of scheming to defraud a person of less than $20,000 and grand theft. Police said Farris pretended to be Aldean on Facebook and also posed as a friend of Aldean's. "Allegedly, Farris would collect the funds by telling the victim Jason Aldean loved her, but was on tour and his friend needed money," WFLA reported.

Scummy move all around, glad this guys going to have to serve some time more likely than not since it sounds like they caught him red handed, but I want to make something abundantly clear. This guy knows he’s going to have to face time in prison and he’s probably already accepted that, but I bet he probably thinks he’s gonna be the cool cat in the state locked up with a gangster story about how he impersonated a relatively famous country singer and duped a girl out of money and sex. That girl was mentally challenged, bro. None of that shit counts. Guy probably thinks mighty of himself like he pulled off the disguise of the century even though if you take almost any normal pudgy white guy with short hair and a deep enough voice can say they look like so and so country singer. Mix in the fact that you’re swindling someone that probably has the mental capacity of a 13 year old, even I could probably trick her into thinking I’m Jason Aldean and I’m Chinese. It’s one thing if you duped a rich smart cultured woman, but he went low ball as shit and picked a mentally challenged person and cheated her out of a couple hundred bucks. Some people might not think this matters and all since he’s probably going to prison regardless, but sometimes its how you dress the story that makes all the difference.

P.s- Its always Pinellas County. Like how in the Town almost 90% of bank robbery crimes committed are by people from Charlestown. Well the most absurd, lewd, or cooky criminal stories are for the most times coming out of Pinellas County.

1500 People Spent 5 Years Creating A City In Minecraft

6UL3sbA

Unilad- ShireCraft is the result of five years, 1500 players, and hundreds of builds. There’s even a working railway system, which is ridiculous in the best possible way. Crazy, right? They’ve even got their own set of rules and regulations – hell, you even have to apply to join – this is a proper, thriving virtual community, and they’ll have none of your nonsense. Of course, don’t expect to be able to just jump in and start building giant Minecraft dicks wherever you want in ShireCraft. Small projects must be built in the wilderness, at least 100 blocks away from other creations, while large projects actually need approval from a staff member. The Shire Transit Authority will maintain all rail lines and highways connecting between cities. Please do not build any rail lines or highways without their consent or supervision. Specific standards have to be met and the STA is the only team qualified to do so. Contact STA Director Andy if you have questions or wish to set up an appointment with your local STA representative. Honestly, you should check out their Wiki page because it’s seriously in-depth. I guess you can’t build such an impressive world without implementing a few rules. Take a look at a video tour of one of ShireCraft’s most impressive cities below.

The very very obvious thing to do is to call all 1500 of these people fucking losers and nerds. No way in any sane persons mind should you build and entire city on some online made up virtual world expansive enough to include TWELVE functioning railway stations. You don’t have a life if you can do all of that, you just can’t. Have any of you ever played this shit? It takes so god damn long just to build a one room building. You gotta go look for materials and shit and turn them into actual construction materials all for the purpose of having some fake virtual game house that sucks and serves no purpose. Are there competitions for this shit where people will give you thousands to build the best land or something? Cause I got bored of this shit in 10 minutes after having to watch a block guy just hitting trees mindlessly. There’s no reason that anyone should play for that long even, none the less for FIVE years unless you’re a god damn loser nerd.

But that’s the low hanging fruit. I’m not gonna call this small population of people losers. But you know what I would really want to do? I want to hop on this server and just DESTROY everything. Cause chaos because sometimes cities can’t be perfect forever. I’m sure Detroit was beautiful at one point in time with their music halls and architecture, well I want to be this fake cities economic turmoil. That plus natural disaster. Imagine being one of those people who’s fingers are most likely crippled from clicking the computer mouse for 5 years straight and then night comes and all your hard work is destroyed beyond repair. I’ll tell you what, they might be losers for wanting to build an extravagant digital block city, but the amount of joy I’m envisioning in my head destroying it all kinda makes me a lunatic as well.

Chinese Farmer Wants To Trade 176 LB Magic Mushroom For A Wife; I Think Its A Hunk Of Shit

A farmer in China is hoping to sell a rare mushroom so that her son could afford to find a wife. The woman, from the village of Xianghe, said her son, named Xiao Li, found the 176-pound giant mushroom a few days ago in a pond, reported People's Daily Online.   The family have shown the media their treasured fungus, known as Tai Sui, which is considered to be the medicine for immortality in traditional Chinese medicine. According to the report, Xiao Li picked up the priced fungus while catching fish in a pond near his house. He said at first he didn't know what it was. Li said: 'I touched a soft lump. At first I startled, then I examined further and realised it was massive.'  He and his father transported the mysterious object home with a tricycle. Li then added: 'I looked up online and realised it is Tai Sui and it has medical value.'  The family now hope experts could help them value the fungus which they keep in their warehouse. Li's mother is especially glad about the prized find. She told Chinese media that she expected the mushroom to bring the family a handsome profit. She added that her son is still single, so she hoped the money could help him to afford a wife.According to Chinese news site QQ, Tai Sui has multiple layers, ranging from a tough, yellow exterior to a delicate, pale cream interior.  The delicate interior is considered the most prized part and commands the highest prices. Experts believe the growth is a rare combination of bacterial, molds and fungus, which normally grows on decaying wood. Although variations of the mushroom has been used for medicinal purposes in China and Japan for more than two millennia, it's promise of longevity has never been officially proven. However, some active compounds isolated from the mushroom were shown to have anti-cancer properties in human trials according to the National Center for Biotechnology Information. What's more, the legends that surround the mushroom's magical powers, which are supposed to help people live forever without getting old, means that it continues to be in demand today.

Ummmmm I hate to break the news to Xiao Li here but that thing is just a massive hunk of shit im pretty sure. Boeing bombs. Them airplanes they dump their toilets at 3600 feet and the stuff freezes and falls to earth. That’s a big ol frozen chunk of poopy. Now assuming that this isn’t a massive frozen airplane turd from tourist eating weird exotic stuff, how much is this guy really gonna get for that? After doing some internet googling research this thing is also called a “Wild Reishi Mushroom.” That shits worth 30 bucks a pound but I’ll be reasonable and give him the high value at $50 at 176 pounds that brings home a whopping $8,800. Not even 10 grand! Bro you think you’re gonna bring in a wife with less than 10 grand? Fuck outta here with that noise. But who knows, the world is filled with weird weird places and the oriental far east is one of the weirder ones. Maybe they value a hunk of space shit over there and some one’s crazy enough to buy it. Or even crazier maybe someone will marry this momma’s boy farmer who has no cash and at max is looking at a fortune of 8 grand even though i spend that much a year at least on utilities and shit. Good luck with that.

I Need The WWE To Start Mixing In More Lawn Maintenance Tools If They Want Me To Start Watching Again.

Like many 90’s kids growing up, I watched wresting when it was still the WWF. It was a beautiful time in life. Summers in New York me and my 8 or 9 cousins would all gather around a cramped ass government housing apartment and watch Smackdown every Thursday like it was the Superbowl (we didn’t have cable so we didn’t watch Raw.) The attitude era had it all. The best of the fighting with the more unique movies, the stage presence had enough humor and violence, and everyone had character. Now I don’t know whats happened in this like 15 year time span but wrestling has been so washed out I honestly don’t know if they’ll ever rope me back.

I mean for gods sake, I just looked on their website and they don’t even have the Hardcore Championship belt anymore. What the fucks up with that? That title is a top 5 title of all time. That’s like a badge of honor that you can lose in 5 seconds. Retaining that title is harder than winning it and that’s what makes it the best. I don’t even know if they have hardcore matches anymore with no belt and all but goddammit the WWE should bring the title back in a way that honors its name. And that’s by adding a little two-cycle gasoline powered lawn equipment. PPV main event some wrestler pulls out an edge trimmer with spinning blades wailing on some guys arm. Drag their corpse around the ring tied to a lawn mower waving the title belt around. Sure we should keep the good old tables, ladders, and chairs involved because they’re a staple to the game, but why not add some gardening sheers and a weed wacker? Sure as a wrestler you probably don’t like the idea of plastic cable spinning a billion RPM cutting your flesh but guess what? That wrestler doesn’t deserve the title of Hardcore Champion.

When Sucker Punching Goes Wrong……

Dude Gets His Azz Beat after Sucker Punching the Wrong One

^^LINK TO VIDEO^^

Really nothing this kid can do. You took your shot and you missed/did about as much damage as a fly landing on that guys face. You can tell when he looked over to the left for help he was absolutely helpless. ” Help Guys! The quick sucker punch didn’t work, what do I do now?!?!?!” I will say though, that guy’s left jaw might’ve been a cement block but once he was on the floor ,although still kinda winning the fight, didn’t have much behind those punches. Yea the sucker punch kid didn’t have any juice what so ever clearly but them both grappling on the ground was probably the guys best strategy to surviving. Take him to the floor as fast as possible and try to save some face and pray someone jumps in to stop it because as soon as he gets up he’s molly whopping your ass for apparently being a pussy and sucker punching. Let this be a lesson to ya, If you wear skinny jeans and your arms are tooth picks, don’t go throwing sucker punches or else his face will eat it, you’re gonna look like a pussy, and then you’re gonna get abused.

Gunman Who Allegedly Killed Big L Was Shot Dead Last Night

 

NYDN- He might have gotten away with three murders — but couldn’t escape his own. A 46-year-old man once suspected of committing three homicides, including the slaying of 1990s hip-hop star Big L, was fatally shot in Harlem, officials said Friday. Gerard Woodley was shot in the head and back during a clash in front of his home on W. 139th St. near Malcolm X Blvd. about 11:15 p.m. Thursday. “It was three shots fired. They were back to back,” neighborhood advocate Iesha Sekou said. “They were pretty loud and I heard one scream.” Police recovered three .25-caliber shell casings at the scene. A motive for the killing was not disclosed. Woodley had been arrested for three separate murders in the 1990s, but was never convicted, cops said. Woodley was accused of gunning down Big L, whose real name was Lamont Coleman, outside the rapper’s Harlem home on Feb. 15, 1999. Woodley had a grudge against the rapper’s brother, officials said at the time. The case was ultimately thrown out due to a lack of evidence, officials said. He was also arrested in January 1996 and a third time in February 1990, but wasn’t convicted in either killing, police sources said. When they broke the news to Woodley’s mother, she only had one question, police sources said. “Where was his bodyguard?” Lavern Black asked. Black told the Daily News she was struggling to come to accept her son’s murder. “It hasn’t sunk in yet . . . He was a loving son,” she said, before dissolving into tears. Woodley spent five years in prison an unrelated federal gun charge shortly after Big L’s death, police sources said. He was locked up again in 2011 on a second gun possession conviction in state court and released from prison last year, according to court records. He was supposed to be on parole until 2020, officials said. His brother, Thomas Riley, said Woodley and Big L were childhood friends. Riley suspects a Big L fan may have killed his brother, saying there’s an abundance of chatter online fingering Woodley as the rapper’s killer. In an earlier, unrelated case Thursday, a 52-year-old man was shot to death during a Brooklyn dice game, cops said. John Morrison was shot multiple times in the back as he rolled the bones outside the Glenmore Houses in Brownsville about 10:50 p.m., police said. He died at Brookdale University Hospital.

It’s kinda crazy, just the other day I was scrolling through the TV guide channel and up came the Stretch and Bobbito documentary. For those who don’t know Stretch and Bobbito are a couple of NY hip hop radio DJ legends known for their spot as being where a lot of famous 90’s rappers got their first chance on the mic. Guys like Nas, Biggie, Eminem, Pun, and Fat Joe etc. all were on The Stretch and Bobbito show before they were signed or famous. Well among the most famous of freestyle mixes laid down on their was with the one and only Big L and a young Shawn Carter. After listening to that freestyle you kinda sit back and wonder if Big L lived, how famous he would be now a days. Guy had prolific rap verses  and considering he brought Jay Z in on the freestyle, its more likely than not that Jay Z wouldn’t be the guy he was today had Big L lived to rap another day. It’s like how some people say Leo only became famous because River Phoenix died or like how Len Bias could’ve been like head to head with Jordan if he didn’t OD after the draft. Such a shame but if this guy did in fact kill Big L, I’m glad he’s dead.

p.s- I like how Big L’s parents were named Gilda Terry and Charles Davis but for some reason his last name is Coleman?

 

These Robot Dogs Are Getting WAY Too Advanced For My Comfort

SpotMini is a new smaller version of the Spot robot, weighing 55 lbs dripping wet (65 lbs if you include its arm.) SpotMini is all-electric (no hydraulics) and runs for about 90 minutes on a charge, depending on what it is doing. SpotMini is one of the quietest robots we have ever built. It has a variety of sensors, including depth cameras, a solid state gyro (IMU) and proprioception sensors in the limbs. These sensors help with navigation and mobile manipulation. SpotMini performs some tasks autonomously, but often uses a human for high-level guidance. For more information about SpotMini visit our website at http://www.BostonDynamics.com

It’s almost cliche at this point to say I hate robots and all they can do to enslave the human race but this time its as real as it gets. I always figured we would have a fail safe method for stopping them. Some sort of kill switch or cut of the CPU brain robot head. If not then we’d probably be able to go old fashion and swing a baseball bat and knock these things to the ground. All of that was still in play until I saw this.

Robot

Looks like something out of a cartoon but I’m both mesmerized and afraid. Like you think you knocked it clean off its launch pad and you think its dead but then out of no where it pieces itself back together like a terminator or something. Yea probably a simple mario kart banana scenario probably isn’t the best demonstration of how to take it out, but the fact that its legs rolled inwards like it finally croaked only to come back walking tall on 4 legs means this thing has a will to fight and when push comes to shove among humans and robots, humans are usually the fatter ones and robots are always diesel.

Cops Put House Arrest Bracelet On Criminal’s Prosthetic Leg, Criminal Removes His Foot, Goes Out To Kill Someone

(NEWSER) – After Quincy Green was arrested on a gun charge in April, he was supposed to be on house arrest while waiting for his trial. But the tech at the company that supplies and fits ankle bracelets on Washington, DC, pre-trial detainees put the bracelet on over Green's sock—that's "absolutely not" protocol, per an exec at the company, who says regulations require the bracelets to be placed directly on skin—and apparently didn't realize that sock was covering a prosthetic leg. So, police say, Green simply took off the leg, replaced it with another one he had, and was able to leave his house. That's how, they allege, he was able to leave his house and go to an area that Fox 5 DC reports he had specifically been ordered to stay away from and where he allegedly shot and killed Dana Hamilton around 2:40am on May 19. "That man was supposed to be in his house," Hamilton's mother, who calls her 44-year-old son's death "the worst thing that ever happened to me," tells the Washington Post.

You know, you see a lot of times in movies and stories around the internet the fact that handicap people are always able to hold their spirits high even though they have some disability that sets them apart from normal people. It kinda puts a smile on my heart. When you see a handicap kid score a touch down or even sometimes I hear stories of people with glass eyes using it to freak people out just for a good laugh. We all have heard stories like that. Its the fact that they’re able to reach their goal in the face of adversity.

Well this is kinda like that situation only he’s a murderer and you shouldn’t feel that great about it. And really its not so much him persevering and overcoming the fact that he has one leg, just more so the fact that the cops kinda fucked up major. But some part of it should still be kind of funny like the aforementioned story about handicap guys fucking with people with their fake limbs. Like when the P.O. came around knocking on Quincy’s door and found his fake leg on the floor with the house arrest anklet still beepin, he probably had a nice little chuckle thinking this felon is rolling around with 1 leg trying to commit murderers not knowing that he had a back up leg. I know i had a nice laugh.

 

Jagr Comes Away With A Masterton Trophy, Barkov And Gallant Were Second Place For Lady Byng And Jack Adams.

Cll7RunUsAAyrdI

Atta boy Jags. If I’m gonna be completely honest I didn’t think Jagr was gonna win it. I had Pascal Dupuis winning it. The Masterton has usually been given to people who had to have a big career come back from performance or health issues. Last year Dubnyk was a journey men who finally came out looking like a steel cage in net. Before that was Dominic Moore who came back after an 18 month hiatus cause his wife passed away. These are guys that you wouldn’t expect to be a major player after some life event. But then again one of the things that affects us all seems to have little effect on Jagr and that’s aging. We don’t have to go through the list because you know all the facts. He’s old and better than half the league and for that, he definitely deserves the Masterton. Gonna be kinda weird though when he gets nominated for it again next year, and the year after that, and the year after that, and the year after that because Father Time was undefeated until he met Jagr.

Other Noteworthy Votes

ClmDbeQXIAA7UYJ

Ballots show that Barkov was 6th in votes for a Selkie. He’s coming close, like really close to winning a Selkie. He came second in for the Lady Byng ultimately losing out to Kopitar but soon enough Barkov is gonna have this Kopitar-esque season and come home with the Selkie and Byng trophy and if we’re luck enough a cup. If he played in an O6 team he would be a Canadian house hold name but because our market isn’t the most conventional, we’re just gonna have to contend with the fact that we have one of the most underrated centers in the game and I’m okay with that.

ClmB6wuWQAAZpLI

Also with some votes for Norris was our boys Ekblad and Brian Campbell. With all the talk about his free agency its a little hard to appreciate him in the moment, will he resign or not no one can really say but him and his wife but i appreciate his time while he’s here. Maybe if we get the deal with Yandle done we wont need him or maybe that and the salary cap jump can persuade him to stay in a place that’s close to winning a cup. Not to mention Florida has no state income tax so theres always that, Brian. Oh and as for Ekblad, he’s gonna win a Norris one day too. Im not asking him to be Bobby Orr and rattle off 8 consecutive Norris Trophies after his second year, but in the future people are going to be asking their young defencemen to be like Ekblad and have great hair and put up a shutdown defense performance from 19 year olds that look like their 30….oh and win a couple Norris trophys because he will finish his career with one.

Aside from that Gerard Gallant came in second to Barry Trotz for the Jack Adams. Can’t argue against Trotz much. Guy is loved by players and commanded the best team in the regular season. If the Caps didnt win the presidents trophy though, I think they all would’ve given it to Gallant. Guy took a team that was on the bottom two years ago to Atlantic Division Champs. Sure some teams in the east were bad, but you’d be a fool to not think Florida was good and Gallant was a big part in that.

Oh and we got a little sneak peak at the new jerseys in action via video game form. Guess what, I can tell he’s not a Soccer Player!ClmD9emUsAAxn1H
