AIRLIE WARD: Education Minister David Bartlett has delayed the introduction of reforms to senior secondary learning. The controversial changes will see colleges and TAFEs transformed into three - academies for students focusing on university, polytechnics for the practically minded and training enterprises concentrating on skills.
The changes will start at Hobart College and TAFE in 2009. But others won't make the change until 2011. I spoke to David Bartlett this afternoon, who denies the delay is a backdown.
Thanks for joining us. If you're so confident about your Tasmania Tomorrow reforms, why are you delaying them?
DAVID BARTLETT, TASMANIAN EDUCATION MINISTER: I am confident that the Tasmania Tomorrow reforms, together with what we're doing in skills Tasmania, planning and purchasing for skills but also linked in with the Guarantees Futures legislation, I am confident we can dramatically lift over the coming five years our retention and indeed qualification rates.
But however, I have to say that what I've been undertaking has been a genuine consultation and it's a consultation that has spoken to me and I've listened and people have told me that really the capacity doesn't exist in the system to deliver these changes in the original time frame.
AIRLIE WARD: Why didn't you widely consult before announcing the reforms?
DAVID BARTLETT: Well, look, a very wise mentor of mine said to me just recently actually that no matter where you start with a plan for change it will probably be the wrong spot. What I have done...
AIRLIE WARD: So you admit that you should have?
DAVID BARTLETT: No, what I say is, I've had the courage to put out what I believe was a good proposal and I still believe a very good proposal. Nobody, particularly my political opponents, have had that courage.
AIRLIE WARD: What is the measure going to be? It's starting in 2009 at a Hobart college and through TAFE. When are you expecting to see improvements in terms of retention rates? There has to be some bench mark.
DAVID BARTLETT: Where places in the world who have invested in similar syle of reforms in their post compulsory world such as New Zealand, they have seen significant increases over five and 10 years. This is not a plan that will deliver instantly overnight significant change. I believe that over the coming five years we will see significantly improved qualification rates in Tasmania.
AIRLIE WARD: Moving on to Bridgewater, why didn't you attend last night's meeting?
DAVID BARTLETT: I wasn't available last night but I was confident that my ministerial colleague, Lara Giddings...
AIRLIE WARD: She read a letter from you.
DAVID BARTLETT: I asked to read a letter and I have visited Bridgewater on a couple of occasions now since the fire as well. In fact, on three occasions.
I've asked Tony Foster, the Mayor of Brighton to chair a community taskforce for me. It has community members on it and parents on it and so on. And I'm looking to put teachers on it as well.
I want to make sure that we don't just lock in one option but that we look at both years 7 to 12 education, we look at skills, technical and trade training that we could deliver out there and we look at all the educational facilities to make sure that for the investment we make, which will be in the millions of dollars, is absolutely the best investment we can make for the future of educational outcomes for the people of Bridgewater and the surrounding suburbs.
AIRLIE WARD: You talk about consulting, where will student go next year? I mean, the planned move to Bridgewater Primary School and the relocation Beachwater Primary School to Green point, I mean, that all went pear-shaped. Where are students going to go next year, Bridgewater High Students?
DAVID BARTLETT: This is a very difficult situation we're in. The community are telling me very strongly and I accept what they're telling me - is that they want to keep the Bridgewater high students together for next year in Bridgewater.
So that means we're left with very little options, very few options. But one option we do have of course that is my preferred option at if moment - but I accept that if others come up with better options I'm very happy to look at them - is to move the 200 or so students from Bridgewater primary to 900m down the road, Greenpoint Primary, a school that was built for 450 students and has about 230 students in at the moment, and allow the Bridgewater High students to move into Bridgewater Primary from the start of next year.
We have to get on and make a decision there. But what I've said this week is that I will be giving the community some days to come up with better ideas if they have any. I will be discussing it with my Cabinet colleagues early next week and making a decision next week. Because we need to get on for the start of the 2008 year.
AIRLIE WARD: In terms of teacher, you narrowly, narrowly averted a strike again teachers last month. But the unions says strike action is still possible unless you deliver and hold up your end of last minute negotiations by the end of this month. How are the negotiations going?
DAVID BARTLETT: Well, they're going very well. And my education with the Australian Education Union I believe a positive one. We did work together through a whole range of issues but I think also the AEU came to the conclusion that I are don't have a magic hundred million dollars stashed under my desk.
But I am doing what I can, and in the 20 or so months that I have been Minister, I have freed up millions of dollars from the bureaucracy and from the central office to put back into programs around things like special needs, into student accommodation, into literally programs through the school gate, multi-millions of dollars have already been achieved. But of course, the further you dig into that the harder it gets. But I am pleased that in the...
AIRLIE WARD: So are they are they going well? I mean, you believe that you will avert a strike...
DAVID BARTLETT: I am very confident that we will be able to deliver on the three-point plan that the AEU and I agreed on the Sunday before strike action was due.
AIRLIE WARD: David Bartlett, thanks for your time.
DAVID BARTLETT: Thanks, Airlie.

Crossposted from Axis of Logic
In a broadcast interview with Daniel Mermet on French radio*, former UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food, Jean Ziegler, stated that the current world food crisis is not due to nature, but to man.
Introduction to the interview from the web site of 'Là-bas si j'y suis'*:
"A return with Jean Ziegler to the causes for food riots that are appearing all over the world. Far from being a scourge like a drought or an invasion of locusts, there are people who are responsible for the famines that have struck thousands of men, women and children – the speculators and their logic of maximizing profit."
The rest of this article on the issue of world hunger is largely based on the interview with Jean Ziegler – "La faim du monde".
World Hunger
Over the past few months in multiple places in the world we have been seeing riots caused by food shortages – the revolt of the famished. There recently have been hunger-related riots in Egypt, Haiti, Morocco, Mauritania, Madagascar, Thailand and other poor countries. This is a long-time issue that has cruelly affected the world for several decades. Every day 100,000 people die from silent hunger, until very recently seen as a normal phenomenon by the people in the North. What is taking place today is the insurrection of the famished.
The explosion of food prices and riots by the starving people have occurred not only in the developing world but also in the rich countries. According to Jean Ziegler there are today 854 million permanently undernourished people in the world. The price of rice has risen by 53 %, wheat by 47 %, for instance. The rise of oil has obviously contributed to the rise in the prices of commodities but there are also other factors involved.
There are in the world today 2.2 billion people who barely earn a living wage, who every day experience the fear of not having enough food for tomorrow. While people in the rich countries spend on an average 10 – 15 % of their incomes on food, people in the poor countries spend 80 – 90 %. This sudden explosion of food prices is having a disastrous effect on the lives of poor people all over the world. The price of rice has doubled, wheat is up by 30 %, corn by more than 74 %.
Protests, even riots are going to intensify. People will be forced to migrate because of lack of food – but where are they going to go?
We are seeing the specter of August 1792 when the famished people of Paris stormed and ransacked the Tuileries Palace, an event that was going to change the world.
The reaction in the West comes from fear of destabilization – of the market and of people's behavior. Cases of malnutrition are not limited to poor countries; even in the United States there are severe cases of lack of nourishment.
We haven't seen the end of the riots. This is just the beginning.
International financial institutions rule over the developing countries
What is the cause for this sudden explosion? The causes are not natural calamities. The causes are political. Countries that were formerly self-supporting have become dependent on import of food products, because of the demands of the international institutions – the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and the World Trade Organization – to change their cultures from what is needed for their daily food to export cultures, such as coffee, sugar cane, cotton, peanuts, etc., leaving out family farming. This neocolonial meddling in the internal affairs of third-world countries has led to a situation where these countries are no more self-sufficient, but almost totally dependent on import for their daily nourishment.
Wherever the IMF imposes a plan for 'structural adjustment', famine increases. The people are now forced to depend on imported food and other commodities. There is privatization of veterinary services and of transportation. There are no roads and the trucks arrive late or can't make it to the region in need of transportation. So what happens? The farmers can't afford the price of vaccination or vermifuge and their animals get sick and die. The harvest rots or the new seeds don't arrive. Famine follows.
What forces countries to agree to these dictates? They are all prisoners of enormous debts to the banks in the North and in order to have those loans refinanced they need to export what those financial masters demand. In order just to pay the interest on those loans, they are rendered powerless vis-à-vis the financial behemoths in the North. The external debt, the murderous consequence of decades of dependence on the rich countries, renders impossible the freeing of these countries to enable the people to become self-sufficient without interference from the international financial institutions. They were in need of help, they got disaster.

Historical Traveler Reviews Franciscan Inn Santa Barbara
Staff to be proud of!
Although we've rated this Inn as average, the staff is anything but! They are the most helpful and friendliest people and nothing was an inconvenience to them. The room (suite) was pleasant and clean. Breakfast was a disappointment. Would we return? Definitely!
Great for beach and self-catering possible
We choose family suite with kitchen/ dining area so could cook meals and price worked out reasonable(Santa Barbara expensive!). Room a bit gloomy. Nice clean pool. Location - fine for walk to beach but long walk uptown. Breakfast Hostess astounding!!
We will be back
We stayed here in July and loved the location and cleanliness of the inn! Very charming and the staff is friendly and helpful. The building and grounds are very nicely kept up!
Quite even with the windows open
we stayed for four nights with our four year old. our room was a king bed with a full size in a small room add on. The room was in a quite location and had air that we needed in the day. At night we opened the windows. The TV had a VCR with free movies. Towles were fine. Pellows are to flat. Breakfest was muffins and cresents. The location was good but we still needed to drive with a kid. The trolley was taking to long and stopped running after six.
Lived up to other reviews
We chose this hotel based on other reviews and the hotel definitely lived up to our expectations. A fraction of the price of other hotels near the beach, we had a very large room, thoroughly enjoyed the secluded hot tub and the free video hire and the breakfast was delicious. Definitely worth the money.
The secret of Santa Barbara
Santa Barbara is a remarkably beautiful and pleasant destination; thus, accomodations are pricey. However, we love this area and fortunately have not had a bad hotel experience.
However, this hotel stands out firmly among others and deserves a rave review. The staff is very competent and very friendly. Rooms are very nicely decorated, cheeful, and roomy. A great swimming pool is available, and the location--just a few blocks from the beach--is the best.
There are many "name" hotel choices in this city, and some people need the prestige of that "name." But why would you want to pay more than you have to for a beautiful, quiet room in an atmosphere where you will feel right at home?
Be sure to ask the staff where Julia Child's favorite Mexican restaurant is located!
Charming Motel
This inn was clean, decent price, charming and homey. The room we stayed had another separate bedroom within the room itself: a delight for parents with children too young to have their own hotel room. The rooms were bright and appealing in decor. I loved this inn and highly recommend it.
Nice and clean
We have been staying at the Franciscan for many years. It's always been our number one choice. The staff is always friendly. Rooms are clean.
We love to stay in the suites. I highly recommed this lovely hotel near the beach. Good rates too!
Much better than the competition
We stopped in Santa Barbara on our way home from Thanksgiving in Orange County. After phoning for rooms, we decided to do walking interviews of inns. The folks at Franciscan were hospitable and went out of their way to assist us. We ended up in 122, a 2 room suite that was as neat and clean as any place, regardless of price. The price was significantly less than ocean view places (a 4 minute walk to the beach was nothing).
Next time in Santa Barbara, I know where we will stay. A definite "two thumbs up"
Franciscan Inn
The Franciscan lived up to what its AAA ratings promised - clean, bright, lovely rooms, good location. But bring earplugs, there is NO sound insulation between rooms or from outside. Loved Santa B., it was a great place to explore & relax.

Press Release
September 24th, 2013
Beamex has expanded its pump range with two new pumps: PGL and PGPH. The PGL pump is a low-pressure calibration pump with excellent possibilities for very fine adjustments. The pump is ideal in industries where accurate, low-pressure generation is needed, such as the pharmaceutical industry. The PGHP pump is a pneumatic, high-pressure generator with air as the pressure medium. This pump is a practical, high-quality solution in calibrations where using liquids is forbidden, such as the gas industry.
The new pumps complete Beamex's range of pressure generation equipment. "Beamex is now able to supply a complete range of user-friendly calibration pumps for a broader range of pressure calibration applications," Beamex's Product Manager, Heikki Laurila, describes.
The PGPH is a hand-operated, pneumatic, (uses air as the pressure medium) high-pressure calibration pump for table-top use. The pump is extremely efficient in generating pressure up to 140 bar (2,000 psi) quickly and effortlessly. It takes far less than a minute to reach the maximum pressure. The PGPH is also able to generate vacuum. It is equipped with a fine-adjustment control providing excellent fine-tuning of generated pressure, and two hand-tightened connectors allowing fast and easy connections without the need for any tools.
The PGL is a hand-operated calibration pump for low pressure using air as its pressure medium. The pressure range of the PGL is ±400 mbar / ±160 iwc.
The pump is equipped with an isothermal bellows chamber for reducing possible environmental temperature changes during the calibration process. With the screw-operated volume control and fine adjustment, an extremely accurate and stable pressure adjustment is possible, enabling attunement to 0.1 Pa.
BEAMEX is a leading, worldwide provider of calibration solutions that meet even the most demanding requirements of process instrumentation. Beamex offers a comprehensive range of products and services - from portable calibrators to workstations, calibration accessories, calibration software, industry-specific solutions and professional services. Through Beamex's subsidiaries, branch offices and an extensive network of independent distributors, their products and services are available in more than 80 countries. Beamex has more than 10,000 customers worldwide.

Thin Ice
2011 Directed by Jill Sprecher
Greetings from Kenosha, WI! Where Ordinary Folks Can Make a Killing
A salesman's search for a rare musical instrument sets off a series of dramatic consequences.
Popular reviewsMore
A strange one this. It really is interesting and keeps you entertained as the story progresses. Kinnear is always good value, as is Arkin in his limited screentime, and Billy Crudup is phenomonal as the highly strung security expert with a dark side.
There are some genuinely laugh out loud moments, as well as some quite dark twists and turns. But what's the usual problem with comedy, crime thrillers and black comedies such as these? Keeping things believable and rational, and that's where this film unfortunately fails.
As the plot continues and the story begins to unravel and reveal the direction it is taking, the quality unfortunately begins to decline. The decision to introduce a sudden on-set of narration and…
There's a reason you haven't heard of Thin Ice, a caper movie starring two incredibly likeable actors, one an Oscar winner and the other an Oscar nominee, the reason is that this film is one of the very worst instances of the matchstick man conceit.
There's a back story which may go some way to explaining the horrifically obvious (and therefore treating the audience as if they're idiots) plot twists, the film played well at Sundance, the studio that purchased it hacked it up and the director asked for their name to be removed which was in turn denied; whether this is a reason or an excuse I can not say but it's such a stinker that I don't care…
Thin Ice went through a pretty rough time in order to finally get to the big screen. I was going to call it Jill Sprecher's Thin Ice, but that wouldn't be entirely accurate. Sprecher wrote the film, along with Karen Sprecher, and titled it The Convincer. She wrote it, shot it with a great cast including Greg Kinnear, Billy Crudup and Alan Arkin, and did all of her fine work to get it to Sundance. Then the studio grabbed the film, cut off half an hour of it while also changing major plot details of it, cutting out entire characters and apparently even doing reshoots. Sprecher went as far as trying to get her name removed from the film, but…
Perfectly adequate little neo-noir.

Finished 4:27am this morning. Library DVD.
I liked the movie. I want to see the directors real vision of this film, not this cut-down. So do I rate it low for this shotty move or high so it draws attention to this very important topic?
Finalement, après une deuxième écoute, je trouve ce 3e opus de Jill Sprecher toujours aussi embêtant... J'aime beaucoup cette réalisatrice, et je ne retrouve pas vraiment sa marque dans ce film, bien qu'elle ait, comme toujours, écrit le scénario avec sa soeur. Un personnage centrale extrêmement antipathique, dans une trajectoire en spirale descendante parsemée de personnages plus ou moins gossants, ont rendu ce film, la première fois, plus ou moins enlevant, puis carrément chiant a regarder la deuxième fois. J'ai ressenti en très faible mesure le suspense, et on se retrouve ici un peu avec le syndrome Ocean's Twelve... c'est difficile de ne pas se sentir floué lorsque la mise-en-scène garde dans l'ombre autant de détails sur l'intrigue... De plus,…
Le iba a poner un par de estrellas largas a la mitad, después he cambiado de opinión y le he puesto tres merecidas. ¿Porque?, tendréis que ver la peli.
Guión atrevido, actuaciones notables.
Al principio parecia un "Fargo" descafeinado, después alegó su independencia como film.
Yo lo he absuelto.
Perfectly adequate little neo-noir.
Cunning con that detrimentally does not end when it should, needlessly applying an ending twist of DNA-helixlike proportions that left a sour taste in my mouth. A screenwriter should ask him/herself that if a movie works without a plot twist, then do the alterations improve it? Here the answer is a resounding NO, in fact causing me to deduct a half-star due to the resultant sheer implausibility. With that rant over, the rest of the movie is absorbing and believable with some great performances from Alan Arkin as a slightly addled loner and especially Billy Crudup as an unhinged ex-con prone to violent mood swings.
Expectations (or lack of) working in its favor exhibit B. This one took me completely by surprise, but it's a terrific little noir (even though the ending doesn't deliver the promised goods - the way say Fargo had the sack to). An everyman fucks up a little bit and keeps on going, just swabbing out the whole bowl before he's flushed permanently down the toilet. It's pathetic, loserville shenanigans with a nastily believable edge. The grasping, the dodging, the desperation are all pulled off with the simpering nice guy smile of Greg Kinnear and it makes me wish we'd gotten Dick Van Dyke's seedy side on celluloid - lord knows Fred MacMurray's was worth it - and Billy Crudup gives us a nicely unbalanced menace. This was a damn good picture that has the element of surprise going for it in my case. You? Now you've been hyped. You'll probably hate it.
"What starts out lookin' like an easy score, can turn out to be anything but simple."

I thought I might watch this movie at some point. After all, it's on my list. However, I wasn't really planning on watching it now. I'd got a magazine from my video store a few months back. It's a free magazine that promotes new rentals. I saw this movie listed as "coming soon" so I made a mental note. Then a few months went by and I thought, "Mmm, I haven't seen 'Thin Ice' in the video store. What gives!?" So I found the old magazine and took it to the store and said in Japanese, "Hey, do you have this?" while…
The poster of the film says it all. Untrustworthy insurance sales man gets involved in a situation which is getting worse and worse. Who is cheating whom?

One of the things that I love most about Falling Stars is the spot-on character development. Both Val and Sam are fully-fleshed characters whose flaws make them all the more real. As we follow their relationship (and their attempts to remain platonic when it's already written in the stars that they should be together), we get to know what makes them tick and we understand immediately why they resist and why they are tempted to give in.
I also loved the behind the scenes look at life on the set of a popular TV show. This aspect of the story adds context and complexity to the situation Val and Sam find themselves in--they are actors who play lovers, they are falling in love in reality but trying to hide it. The reader feels like she gets an insider's look at Hollywood and how life in Tinseltown can be life in a fishbowl.
Xio does a great job of handling the struggle for Val--and especially for Sam--as they both try to do the right thing. They want to be together, but they can't--not when Sam is still married--but the chemistry between them is off the charts and they are drawn to each other time and again.
I loved Falling Stars--this is definitely one of my favourite books of 2015. It's a beautifully written love story that will challenge and intrigue you. I can't wait to read the next book in the series.

A neighbor reported to the website that the 21-year-old got into a heated argument with Griffith, that included a shouting match before she locked him out of the house.
'Jenelle must have gotten into a fight with her boyfriend, and locked him out of the house,' said the neighbor to the publication. 'He was banging on the door, and someone must've called the cops.'
'They showed up soon after and Jenelle was originally hesitant to let
them in. When she finally opened up, they went inside and next thing you

BARC's Head Vet Wasn't Just Reprimanded Once
No doubt many of Houston's animal-advocacy community are up in arms over this morning's Chron story on BARC's head vet, Eunice Ohashiegbula-Iwunze, who had her license suspended in New Jersey.
But we at Hair Balls were a little more understanding - really, who hasn't accidentally killed people's dogs on three separate occasions? God - why should gross incompetence be a barrier to a primo spot in the animal shelter of the nation's fourth largest city? Look - BARC hired Jackie Merchant, a dude who was convicted in 1996 of aggravated sexual assault of an 11-year-old. See? We all make mistakes. It's actually big of the City of Houston to give these people taxpayer-funded jobs.
But what got Hair Balls a little worried was the stuff that the Chron missed: Ohashiegbula-Iwunze had actually been reprimanded on another occasion by the New Jersey State Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners.
That was in 2001, three years before the oops-dead-dogs incidents described in the 2004 consent order.
The 2001 consent order, in which "Dr. O" paid $774 in fines, declared that the vet:
prepared inadequate patient records in that vaccination records had no expiration dates, and certificates contained conflicting information; she failed to establish acceptable patient/client/veterinarian relationships; she maintained no patient records in her possession; she conducted inadequate physical examinations in that [she] admits that animals were not weighed at the non-prototype clinics although heartword medications were given which require the weight of the animals; there were no controls in place to insure that pharmaceuticals were kept at the temperature recommended by the manufacturer; and she had no branch office license displayed at one [clinic] location.

We understand that everyone makes mistakes, and if you practice medicine for long enough, there will be blunders.
But, from a PR perspective, the City of Houston -- to borrow a clinical veterinary term -- really screwed the pooch on this one. You want to show the residents of your city that you care about how animals at the city-run shelter are treated? Well, you might want to start by hiring a head vet who didn't get reprimanded two times in three years. Just a little free advice from Hair Balls, yo.

The early DVD collections were all focused on the Comedy Central years of MST3K, so this is a nice shift in Rhino's marketing. Some fans aren't fond of the host segments in these later years, but there are some occasional funny ones. The riffing, however, is as good as ever, and has changed to an angry, sarcastic style different than the Joel and early Mike years. I love both styles, but some fans prefer one or the other. Just be aware that in this package you're getting a full-assault of the later, Sci-Fi Channel episodes. (Rhino is about release another package of Sci-Fi Channel episodes, after which I hope they'll return to some of the early seasons to maintain balance.)
Of the four episodes on this collection, two are superb, while the others are entertaining but more average. Here's what you'll find:
GIRL IN GOLD BOOTS: A really sleazy `go-go' film from the late 60s with some disturbing similarities to "Showgirls" (except it's better). Sleazy `elf boy' picks up a girl in a greasy spoon restaurant with the promise of making her a dancer in Los Angeles at the club where his drug-addled sister works.Read more ›
First, I must admit that I didn't have Comedy Central until the ascendancy of South Park forced my cable provider to add it. We did, however, have the SciFi channel, for whatever reason. So I had to wait until the SciFi channel picked up MST3K before I could watch the show. So my association with MST3K consists primarily of these three years, though I have watched a number of the CC-era episodes now.
There are really two different periods. Joel and Mike offered two kinds of humor. Joel--sleepy-eyed, laid-back Joel--was capable of the most intellectual, wise commentary, but it was generally reserved for the host segments. The skewering of the films was relatively friendly--even when the film was as punishing as "Manos: the Hands of Fate." Joel was the class clown who made fun of the teacher's presentation, but in a way that let the teacher know he didn't really mean any harm. The pop culture references in the Joel era tended to be somewhat dated and very geared toward a baby-boomer audience.
But the "Mike" era changed that. Slowly, by degrees, the commentary began to sharpen to a razor edge. The references became more contemporary. The sarcasm was amped up, and this was probably what turned a lot of former MSTies off. The films were no longer joshed; they were skewered.Read more ›
Girl in Gold Boots: This one has everything - bad lighting, bad acting, really bad editing, and a purplexing storyline: wannabe dancer Michele leaves her abusive dad at "Eat" (the restaurant they run) and hops a ride with Buz, the greasy dope-dealer who says he'll get her a job in a "groovy Hollywood nightclub." Along the way, they pick up Critter, a folksy gentleman who bears a strange resemblence to Paul Rudd. This movie features bad 60's music, terrible dancing, and some of the ugliest men you'll find in L.A.
Hamlet: I feel a duty to advise you to stay away from this if you find Shakespeare boring. But it's easier to understand Mike and the 'bot's zingers about this dubbed German version of the greatest drama of all time. Funniest of all is Hamlet's famous "To be or not to be" speech. If you can get through this, kudos to you.
Overdrawn at the Memory Bank: I know I still love Raul Julia (Gomez of the Addams Family), but I hate his decision to star in this made-for-PBS-film about a man rebelling against his futuristic workplace. While trapped in a computer. Watch this one a couple of times and it'll become one of your favorites. Enjoy the guys' jokes about Julia's obsession with Casablanca (yes, the classic movie) as it plays out inside the computer.
Space Mutiny: This is a must-see for diehard MST3K fans. A soggy Star Wars rip-off, this is a great example to aspiring filmmakers what NOT to do. Some of MST3K's best jokes are here, including an ongoing rambling list to rename the movie's muscular "hero" (i.e., "Butch Deadlift," "Punch Rockgroin"). The funniest (unintentional) character? Kalgon, the head mutiner, with greased-back hair and a widow's peak drawn on his forehead.
All in all, one of my funnier collections. Enjoy!
