Sure, it gets a little questionable (okay a lot questionable) but Get Into the Spirit kicks ass.

“I don’t watch anything that tells me what’s going on today in the world as far as music goes. I don’t care. I’m in Slayer. I like Slayer. And that’s about it. Slayer.” — Tom Araya in an interview with Vulture.

John Dillinger and Baby Face Nelson

stuffaboutminneapolis:

While Indiana politicians and prosecutors squabbled over responsibility for his escape, Dillinger arrived in Minnesota that Sunday night, thirty-six hours after fleeing Crown Point, and tossed his things into Apartment 106 at the Santa Monica Apartments on South Girard Avenue in Minneapolis.

It is unclear whether Dillinger realized he was joining forces with a psychopath. The night Dillinger arrived in the Twin Cities, Nelson was driving through Minneapolis with his gofer Johnnie Chase when the two cut in front of a car driven by a thirty-five-year-old paint salesman named Ted Kidder, who was returning from a birthday party with his wife and her mother.

“Damn it, they can’t do that to me,” Kidder said as Nelson’s car veered in front of him.

Irritated, Kidder sped up and cut back in front of Nelson’s Hudson. This enraged Nelson. He pulled alongside Kidder’s car and attempted to force it into the curb. Kidder pulled ahead, but Nelson stayed directly behind him as they neared the salesman’s home in the St. Louis Park section of Minneapolis. Not wanting to lead the angry driver to his house, Kidder headed toward a drugstore to call the police. Reaching the store, he had just leaped out of his car when Nelson drove up and shouted something. A moment later three shots rang out. Two struck Kidder in the midsection, and he fell, dying.

His wife, Bernice, ran to his side. “You’ve killed him!” she screamed.
“Keep your damn mouth shut,” Nelson snapped, “or I’ll let you have it, too.” he backed up the car and drove off.

This was John Dillinger’s new partner.

Mystic Swami's Fortune

Swami, the creepy fortune teller trapped in a glass box at the Twin Cities Magic & Costume Shop had this to say about my future (except it’s more like a personality assessment, and one that he’s not entirely inaccurate about):

When you pull a card and draw a heart, you and your beloved will never part.

You are a strong believer in fate. You feel that you have no control over your destiny. Fortunately you are destined to be very happy indeed. You’ve had some trouble mostly caused by inconsideration of others. But fate will be kind to you, and you can expect your life to run on a smoother pattern. You are somewhat irresponsible and that has caused you some hardships. You have a neat and tidy nature, and can’t tolerate slovenliness around you. Since you demand this of yourself and others you will always live in a tidy atmosphere.

Well, it might be a lonely atmosphere, but at least it will be tidy.

My lucky numbers are 22, 23, 24, 25 and 26. Weird.
