Case Mods, Taxidermy and The Greatest Movie of All Time: The Daily Nooner (EST)!
Awesome Video Of The Day
Invasion U.S.A. Is Apparently The Greatest Film Ever Made
I watch a lot of YouTube clips, and as such, I appreciate it when a video manages to pack a lot of awesome into a neat little package. By that standard, today’s clip is pretty much the best video on the entire internet.
Invasion U.S.A. is a film (NOT a movie) about Chuck Norris fighting Latino communist guerrillas in Florida, and it’s set in an alternate universe where Florida is actually worth defending. Chuck Norris might not be in this particular clip, but I think that everything else that’s going on here pretty much makes up for it. In a mere thirty seconds, this clip manages to cram in:
If that isn’t enough to make you want to rent Invasion U.S.A., maybe this movie trivia will. Why don’t they make movies like this anymore?!
Wildcard!
The Most Awesome(ly Stupid) Computer Ever Made.
If you’re like me, you’re really into taxidermy and modding out your hardcore PC gaming rig. But if you’re like me, you also have a bunch of other stuff that gets in the way of those interests (your full-time job, your girlfriend, serial TV dramas, sleeping, etc). There are only so many hours in the day, but fortunately someone has figured out a way to combine our passions. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Beaver Computer.
It’s pretty impressive that someone had the motivation and technical know-how to build a functioning computer inside of an actual taxidermied beaver, but how do I know it’s up to the task of running today’s CPU-intensive titles at high display settings? Without benchmark tests this photo set is pretty much useless - although this particular photo serves to both teach you what a beaver’s crotch looks like and show you that The Cat In The Hat is available in Latin.
Wait - a picture of a beaver’s crotch?! Great. Now my head hurts.

Somehow, the most stunning thing about the beaver computer is that a girl made it. I guess I just have difficulty believing that girls can be as stupidly geeky as guys.
Plus, I just finished reading the list of Bond puns so the idea of a beaver-computer just gave me a false positive on the Bond Pun-o-meter.

The clip only proves that cocaine is harmful to your brain. Sorry… had to say it.

Wow, now THATS R-rated.

Perhaps even more mind-boggling is the fact that there is apparently a “very long wait” to rent it:

Does anyone else think that the best thing about the Invasion USA cover is the fact that Chuck Norris appears to be wearing an 1-piece denim suit and a belt?

It’s called a Compubeaver, not a beaver computer. Really, show some respect.
January 8th, 2008 at 2:33 pm
Wait, nevermind. The word respect doesn’t even belong on this site.

Sadly, Ross, when you think about the competition it has in recent movies, it really isn’t so mind-boggling after all. In fact, I was really looking forward to renting it until you showed that it is hard to come by….

Ross:
Probably everybody read this bit and went and stuck it in their queue - hard! The same thing happened when Ken Begg reviewed “Paul Lynde’s Halloween Special.” It took me weeks to get that.
Also, check out the 50’s version of Invasion U.S.A. where the goddamned Reds invade and drop the Big One. There’s a MST3K episode about it, I believe.

I have got to have a beaver computer. That is almost as cool as a lightsaber.

Was throwing the woman out of the window really necessary?

I don’t mean to be rude but i dont think you would make a very good chuck norris movie villian Andy Pants.

Oh well.
Anyway, I tried modding out my hard-drive today like the that girl on the website, but it was so much harder than they made it look. The badger kept moving around and screaming. Blatant false adverstising.

I’ve seen this movie. And it was incredibly KICK-ASS. Chuck Norris lives in the Everglades and eats live frogs for breakfast, and then theres a scene where a crack-addled communist commando quite literally destroys Christmas, and by literally I mean with rocket launched grenades. And in the finale, a dual-uzi wielding Chuck Norris staggers through an office complex muttering “Time to die, Rostov”. Truly one of America’s greatest movies and tributes to freedom, even if I did have trouble convincing my friends that it really does exist.

The built in proximity alert system lets you set alarms when you get close to these areas. That allows you to avoid the headaches that might come from traffic or speeding through a school zone….
