Mr. Unique Said... .... >blackhawk down Fantastic movie, amazing performance by Eric Bana as the Delta Force leader. Now That's a full-blooded, masculine character. Read Mark Bowden's book about the incident to get a real sense of how aweseome our really elite special forces guys are...

"The Wild Bunch" Great Western - William Holden's crew of violent bank-robbing holdouts at the dying edge of the old West. They're being tracked by a dogged US Marshall who turns to his sleazy hired help, "Those are men we're after, not egg-sucking gutter trash like you."

And they'll just shrug and say "that's nice" Women make partner choices based largely on emotion. That's why the nice guy with "lots to offer" is dumped or ignored in favor of the "exciting bad boy." Only the latter of the two stimulates the emotional centers of the female brain.

A lot of left wing social critic types try to convince the masses that we should all accept our bodies, and that being fat is OK. In fact to them, "worshipping" thinness and a toned body is some sort of aberration. I call "Bull" on that one - if that was the case, if obsession with being in...

When I take the train into NYC, I see a lot of upscale looking apartments near the 125th st station that weren't there before.

Actually, Harlem is becoming very upscale and a move-to destation for young people. Brooklyn is going in that direction, too.

I thought it might be interesting to go to a really nice hotel lounge, really dressed up, and work on some impressive looking spreadsheets or powerpoint presentations. If an HB asks about it, say you're doing the financial analysis for some company. I know enough about oil extraction, for...

Leaving volcanic action and (very expensive) landfilling aside, we're not making more land, and we certainly keep cranking out more people. It's inevitable that land is a good investment, but as any econ 101 student who paid attention can/will tell you, the best land goes up in value first...

4. Anything with Alan Alda. The classic, prototypical "sensitive, new age" man. We seriously need a "puke" smiley here. I heard that women were surveyed, and they overwhelmingly thought the Alan Alda character was great dating material (fairly smooth with ladies, great sense of humor), and...

I called into the Bloomberg 1130 call-in show because they did a cute segment on a new "slogan" for NJ. Mine was provocative - "New Jersey - disarmed and still dangerous." "Why do you say that?" they asked. "Because they have some of the strictest gun laws, and crime remains out of...

I've felt for a long time that there is little scientific literature about this subject is that it's such an elusive, hard to define quality. In fact, I'd go so far as to say it's been out of mainstream scientific literature for as long as it has because scientists... well I'm having trouble...

www.mchawking.com Very funny stuff - Stephen Hawking sings science oriented rap songs in that speak-and-spell voice he uses to communicate with the world.

"Let Goodbye Hurt" by Suzy Bogguss. If you get past the fact that she's a "country" singer, her voice is incredibly smooth, clear, bright and expressive.

I have a really good business now that I built gradually over the course of about five years. I started by doing it *part time* while working at a fulltime job that paid fairly well and had good benefits. When the job left me, I turned my part-time endeavor into a fulltime business that...

Even scarier is the potential for a gamma ray blast. Because gamma rays travel at the speed of light, there'd be no warning. Perhaps some instruments meant to detect that sort of thing would pick it up the moment it happened, but mere hours after that, pretty much every living thing on...

Have a Western Blot test done for mononucleosis and Lyme disease. The Lyme "titer" gives too many false negatives.

My mom saw George Carlin perform live at some very small venue back around 1969 or 1970. She was the only one laughing in the whole place, so Carlin, before leaving, said, "I'd like to thank my audient."

And if that doesn't work... "Hey HB, (faking a sip) - is it me or does this drink taste a bit like roofies?"

I get this way, too. Wallowing in a rut sometimes feels good in a strange way - I think that's part of the challenge of extricating ourselves from it. I think that when you feel good, you need to create a reminder mechanism for when you're "down." In other words, you find a way...

Sorry, I'm horrible - A really good friend of mine is getting divorced after only a year of marriage, and I knew it wouldn't work out, well before he proposed. Aside from feeling sympathetic toward his plight, my next biggest feeling was "I knew it would happen - I told you so." I never felt...
