Kristina is the reason why I want to become a falconer; I dream of the day when my huge pet falcon swoops out of the air, grabs your unleashed dog, carries it away, and then rips it to shreds....

Hey you guys that take your dogs there and expect to get run into a few times here and there. I am wondering if you minded if I brought down 14 of the clumsiest Great Danes to the park? I have no c...

Asylum is one of my favorites. Definitely the best sort of horror. Well written and acted. Even if you're not scared it's enjoyable to watch. Something wicked this way comes, still has some terrifyin...

I think the safe assumption is that they'd like help with the medical costs. If not voluntarily, then in court. From the "very interesting" commentary on this article, I'd bet the former is unlike...

Well, I don't know the details, but if the dude just apologized and left the scene while the woman was on the ground injured or whatever, that's really shitty. A decent person would have stayed with ...
