Heavy Metal Sunday is kosher for Passover!

What, you were expecting bunnies?

Prey for Nothing is a melodic death metal band coming out of Hafia, Israel. In only four years, they've managed to get some notice in the world metal scene for their complex lyrics and unique sound. Recently, the band parted with guitarist Eyal Glotman after two years.

Mosh your tuchas off to Dead Man's Dream



Next week, something special on a special day. Join us on Saturday, April 18th, for a non-metal, but very fitting, celebration of the 103rd anniversary of the Great San Francisco Earthquake and Fire.

I am extremely pleased...

that the last thing seen by three Somali pirates on this Earth was a grinning Navy SEAL and the business end of a MP5SD4 SMG.

U.S. sea captain freed in swift firefight.

Go, Navy!

(yes, I actually said that. They did good.)

Amazon idiocy.

In case you haven't heard yet, Amazon is removing sales rankings for GLBT books based on their "adult" nature. This purge includes non-fiction and historical works. Oddly, Playboy's "History of Centerfolds" is not being purged.

Amazon fail

They are being asshats. Tell them so.

More at this link.

I'm a satisfied Amazon customer. I've order many things from them, and always gotten great service. But I will not spend another penny with them until this policy is reversed and an apology made.
