Mar 18 2009BigDog: Now With More Horns, Goring
Remember Boston Dynamic's BigDog? Well they decided it'd be funny to put horns on it and pretend like it's a bull. As you can see, it's not humorous. Nope, not one bit. I don't care if you paint its face and have it make balloon animals at the fair, BigDog will never be funny. Or cute. Not even with a furry little bunny tail and dressed like a schoolgirl. Which, ZOMG.....

Thanks to Julian and Pete, who could totally ride that thing for the full 8 seconds.

I can't wait for the baldwin looking emo finger guy to cycle out of the 'so freaking cool' panel. Seeing his ghey little finger before reading GW's literature makes me a little less happy before logging onto comment.
That's why I've been so moody lately & started hitting my wife at the dinner table when she mouths off.

I just bought dinosaursdressedlikeschoolgirls.com off godaddy.com. I also bought schoolgirlsdresseduplikedinosaurs.com, you gotta pay for that one though.

Does anyone remember "www.horneymanatee.com"?
On Conan O'brian he said a fake URL, "www.horneymanatee.com," and was quickly corrected that for you to say a ULR on the air, it had to be a real one, or you had to buy it, or something along those lines.
Would the same thing apply here as well? Geekologie writer, I think you need to purchase and host dinosaursdressedlikeschoolgirls.com

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake becauise the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max teams up with an alcoholic ex-CIA agent to find the true meaning of love. In the process they have mad passionate sex with a nun. By the end of the movie they beat up 12 trains and end up winning the admiration of their co-workers, living happily ever after.

I would love to have that loud piece of *Bull Shark* follow me into combat..... I can see it now "Everyone down and quiet! We have movement on our left flank!" Everyone drops to the ground and holds their breath hoping the enemy doesn't spot them. On the contrary BigDog continues to hop about enthusiastically like a small puppy waiting for the next ball to be thrown.
As the enemy passes by, they catch wind of a faint humming that draws their attention to a strange looking robot. Before wasting the American platoon and the *dumb bass* robot, they affectionatly nick named it "Chó Lớn" which roughly translates to Large Dog. GG America, you cant win wars with *trucking* robots, the victor is decided through flesh and blood.

I think that Cyberdyne Systems Corporation needs to do better than this, this bull is bullshit, too slow to kill even my granny, and I want her to die! We need a better and faster model that has more power. Speaking about something that has nothing to do with Osama (America's new president) I just found picture evidence on the internet about what Osama was thinking about when he chose his name:

That's one fiiiiiiiine car! Wait a minute, who said terminator bulls got nothing to do with Osama's terror reign? Osama wants to invest more federal money in research... , research to invent new terminators of course! Osama has something to do with everything.

@26 I think you have a better shot at getting attention when you log on as 'poop on my shaft'. It reflects your feco diaper fetish sickness a little clearer than softlicious, which is obviously what you think to yourself when stuffing your face into a fresh pile of dirty diapers.
You're one sick fücking kid, but stop trying so hard for all the attention. You're acting like a 14 yr old
