Pool toys, Fireworks Traditions, & The Rock’s Next Flick

THIS, EXACTLY:

(thank you)

DOSSIER UPDATE: This will come as a surprise to no one, but it is interesting who didn’t get hauled in. Yet.

RED RIDING HOOD NOT INCLUDED: These are not the wolves you are thinking about. 

THE DARK AGES ARE MAKING A COMEBACK. Here’s your latest evidence.

OH COME ON! I mean, seriously, can we all at least agree that this guy is just a particularly awful person? This is pretty obvious, right? And it’s not about party affiliation – it’s a power thing.

FIRE IN THE SKY: A Greek religious tradition carried out on Holy Sunday. This is fairly amazing to see.

INCOMING!

At first I was like, “Really? Why’s they have to go remake that one?” But then I realized it was The Rock and all my fucks up and flew away.

*Those who don’t own swords, and those that do. These are there stories. (hit the music.)
