a deadly sword, a healing hand

This is the blog of a fairly typical college student. It will contain obscene amounts of Sherlock, Supernatural, LotR, as well as some Lost, Dexter, random books, bitching about life, and miscellaneous awesome stuff.

Turkish Oil Wrestling

Reblogged from medical-assassin

medical-assassin:

So, the premise of oil wrestling is this: first, get greased up with olive oil.
image

You need lots of oil.
image

This man may or may not be oiled enough.
image

This man looks suitably oiled.
image

Grab a friend.
image

Join a team.
image

And then start wrestling.
image

Yep. Wrestling.
image

The goal is to get a hold on your opponent’s kisbet, or specially made pants.
image

Seriously. The most effective way to win is to you shove your arm down another man’s pants.
image

It’s actual wrestling. See?
image

Good lord.
image

It just ends like this.
image

Or this.
image

Sometimes winning looks like this.
image

And sometimes it looks like this.
image

Yay! You won!
image

But wrestlers don’t hold grudges.
image

Opponents can still be friends.
image

So, thank you, Turkish oil wrestlers, for existing.
image

THANK YOU.

What’s funny about this is that in Star Trek he’s quoting Sherlock Holmes, but in Sherlock he’s quoting Spock.

Although the original quote was from Sherlock Holmes. It was used in TOS and then in Star Trek (2009) as a reference to SH. Then in Sherlock 2x02, Sherlock says it and John calls him ‘Spock’ as though it’s a reference to Star Trek and Wibbly Wobbly Inception of the quote, yo.

Canonically Spock is a descendant of Sherlock Holmes.

Wait, really? ^^^^

Yep. Star Trek 6 Spock says “An ancestor of mine once said ‘If you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains however improbable must be the truth.”

my sister sent me a text saying “for the next 30 years you have to live with one person in the same room all the time. afterwards you have to kill them. would you choose someone you like or someone you hate?”

I have never been more distraught in my entire life

#probably someone I already hate#cause by the end I'd hate whoever it was 100000% more#and would also have attempted to murder them several times ove the past 30 FUCKING YEARS#I mean seriously?#you expect me to live with one person#for 30 years#in the same room#no#just no

#oh. my. god.#thank you Bones#Star Trek

batched: grimdarkthroes: cupcakesandrocketships: Casting appreciation gif. This seriously pisses me off because TWO men of the “correct” ethnicity/race were asked to play the role of Khan. I don’t remember their names because this back when Into Darkness was in casting yo but they BOTH DECLINED. So there’s a HUGE difference between “well, we asked the best in the business and they both said no, so we should go with another actor of the ‘incorrect’ race who is also very well suited for the role” and doing what the Hunger Games did which is literally only let white girls audition for Katniss.  When actors decline there is fuckall you can do. It’s shitty, no doubt, that Khan ended up being white, but BC did a great job in the role, while knowing he was third choice. I won’t begrudge him for taking it, and I won’t begrudge the casting crew for going with him after their best actors declined.  ^ Bless.

#thank#so sick of the bashing#I do not approve of the white washing that does happen in the industry (because it does)#but I also think Benedict did a fantastic job#Star Trek

"Later, after Trek was on the air, the producers used the network’s concerns about sexuality to their advantage — they would deliberately put sexy stuff into episodes for the network to freak out about, so the censors wouldn’t notice other things. For example, in the episode “A Private Little War,” the producers deliberately put in a scene of Kirk having an open-mouth kiss with a half-naked woman, so the network could throw a fit about that — and not notice the blatant Vietnam allegory."
