Who would have ever thought Cash4Gold would find itself facing a class action suit?

Spacey
It’s the kind of day that starts with me thinking I’m digging myself out from under a pile of work, and ends with me realizing all I’ve done is dug a massive work containment pool.
Still, I’ve found inspiration in something I previously didn’t even know existed: the Congressional Space Medal of Honor.
First awarded by President Jimmy Carter, it’s recipients include Neil Armstrong, for his valiant defense of LM-5 “Eagle” against wave after wave of Zombie Nazi Moon men; Charles “Pete” Conrad, for his saving of the Skylab 2 mission by engaging in brutal hand-to-hand combat with the station’s own Artificial Intelligence; and Robert Crippen , whose life was later recounted in the major motion picture, The Last Starfighter.
Joking aside, (well, except maybe about Pete, I wouldn’t want to meet him in a well lit, yet underpowered, alley,) there’s one person not on the list that comes immediately to mind as deserving this medal: Buzz Aldrin. For punching that guy in the face. (And boy, did that guy deserve it.)

Real American Huh?
Did you know that G.I. Joe has put out several real people as Joes?
Wikipedia has a complete list, but I like the idea of a Buzz Aldrin, Robert Crippen or Bob Hope with life like kung fu grip.
I was a little surprised that they mix the list with people who fake their heroism though – people like movie alien puncher Rowdy Roddy Piper, ’80s wrestler Sergeant Slaughter, and dramatic actor Colin Powell.
I wonder if Powell was considered because of his Emmy award winning presentation at the U.N. or his sleeper hit, the My Lai 4 cover up.

Dread Pirate Roberts
Am I wrong in assuming that The Dread Pirate Roberts, (and thus, Westley) has killed quite a number of people?
Is there some loophole I missed, or do we just sort of play down that aspect of the character?
(I realize you could get away with things like that back then, but it still seems like a pretty brutal character point for a kid’s movie.)

The True Meaning Of Doritos…
…is apparently “Little Bits Of Gold”.
“The name was a translation of Oro/dorado meaning gold or guilded and the diminutive Ito for small.”

It was a long weekend.
MSNBC OF THE DEAD
I don’t mean to be that guy, MSNBC, but regarding Yankee Stadium and the halls of the dead, maybe you want a comparative preposition in there.
That isn’t to say there aren’t holes in my own grammar, but that’s a pretty brutal possibility you’re presenting.
Perhaps you’ve been to a post-apocalyptic future where Yankee Stadium is used as a massive tomb for a well-loved warrior king; either get your tenses right or throw a “like” in there.
Eritrea, Eritrea, Eritrea, Eritrea, we love you, Amen.
Eritrea, officially the State of Eritrea, is a country in the Horn of Africa. It is bordered by Sudan in the west, Ethiopia in the south, and Djibouti in the southeast. – wikipedia
Fine, but so what?
Well – Eritrea’s TLD, (.ca to us Canadians or .jp for Japan, etc,) is .er! I can’t find anywhere to register a Eritrea domain, but this seems like a huge opportunity for their country.
Who wouldn’t want lam.er, runn.er, fast.er, etc?
