It looks like she's doing the Drag King thing. It's pretty popular around here lately.
I've been seeing an influx of the skinny, tatted-up Sk8er Boi / Sam Ronson-type lil' butchies a lot lately. They're cute as pennies.

Is that code for "not at all cute"?

Heh, oddly I just watched Flags of our Fathers yesterday, and there's that damn picture again. What a contrast in the legend of the picture vs the reality.

What, that the Marines raised a flag on Iwo Jima during the battle and that three of the men in the image died during the battle? As a former Marine I apologize if that doesn't meet your high expectations.

Have you seen the movie, Murgos? Its a bit more complex than that. The emphasis is on the soldiers NOT honored by their own military and political leaders.
Also, one should also see Letters from Iwo Jima as its sister film.

I should get back to nature, too. You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer. Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached. Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe

No, that they raised two flags. The guys who raised the first one weren't memorialized. The guys who raised the 2nd one were in the photo and had no part in taking the hill, unlike the stories that get told about it. But hey, go on being a dick it's worked for you so far.

Who cares? Some guys went and raised a flag in the middle of a battle. Half the people pictured didn't make it off the island. It's an event worthy of respect without any extra embellishment or after-the-fact analyzing. Edit: That they did it twice, the second time with a larger flag, is irrelevant. The photographer happened to be at the second one so a picture got taken of that. Should the first flag raising be honored too? Absolutely, but that doesn't make the second one worth any less.

By accident. If he weren't clearly in a place where gymnastics take place, I'd agree with you. They should make a new olympic event for gymnasts: "Crazy Gymnastics Things".

It's when he looks to the camera at the end and gives the old "sup" finger point that sells it.

Funny, I thought it was the whole "gracefully rolling off a moving giant rubber ball and landing on his feet after a fucking back flip" that sold it.

That's just what makes it funny. It was already awesome, but the "sup" qualifies this image for both the funny and the awesome thread.
