This Video of Tom Waits Purporting to Be the Inspiration for Heath Ledger's Joker is Eerie as Hell

There’s no actual evidence, aside from the contents of the video itself, that this 1979 interview by Australian talk show host, Don Lane, with Tom Waits was actually the inspiration for Ledger’s The Dark Knight villain. But watch a few minutes of it, and drawing that conclusion is inescapable. It is freaky and almost unnerving how close Ledger’s character was to the mannerisms of Waits in this interview. It’s not out of the question, either: Ledger is Australian, and the two worked together on The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, a movie that didn’t film until after The Dark Knight but that had been in development previous to The Dark Knight.

Anyway, jump to the 1:30 mark, and you’ll see what I mean. The voice, the mannerisms, and style of walk: It’s freaky fantastic. It will blow the threads out of your socks.

One that SP will like

Australian swimming legend and BBC analyst Ian Thorpe adds his view to the Ye Shiwen controversy: "How we should talk about it is that we should take away the nationality. If we had a athlete from Team GB who dropped three seconds we would say 'Wow'. I tood five seconds off my time in the 400m freestyle from 15-16. We have to remember young swimmers can take off chunks of time others can't. We should wait. This is what I don't like in sport, when people are successful people say it is because of drugs."

do not do this with your standard hoover, or with the machine plugged in, or even with any major component attached to the motherboard.

Every single weight lifter in London would of done this for weigh-in.

Je sais, but none of that has anything to do with "moving to a healthier weight", which is what BK said it was part of.

If anything, it will only delay "moving to a healthier weight". It's an intermediate goal that has actual detrimental effects on the long term goal, and so is fairly ridiculous to get involved in imo!

If he wanted to do it with the idea of losing weight, then the water manipulation isn't relevant, it's the calories.

Oh yeah I wasn't suggesting it is related at all. I think
I said pretty much that in the thread on boards. It's serves the prop bet that's all.

What deterimental effects? It won't have any effect on the overall goal, bar delaying it for a few days. Prob not even a whole lot as the well should be a net deficit.

Hold down the middle button and menu button at the same time for about 5 seconds and it should reset.

it's a standard reset, Ciaran. It can wipe the device, but a device that isn't booting isn't necessarily any worse than a device that is booting but with no music on it.

Don't be at it. I am normally up for a bit of banter but do you not think getting a lad to wipe his entire Music collection is going a bit far?

yes, I'm definitely at it, trying to get a device started up.

Look, apple are even at it in point 5
If you experience any of the above issues, try the following steps:

Toggle the Hold switch. To do this, slide the switch to Hold (an orange bar appears) and then slide it back (orange bar is hidden).
Reset the iPod by holding down the Menu and Center buttons for 10 seconds.
If the Apple logo appears on the display, connect the iPod to a computer and verify that it appears in iTunes and can play music. If the iPod appears in iTunes and can play music, no further troubleshooting is needed.
If the Apple logo does not appear or the iPod is not seen in iTunes, connect the iPod to a power source by either plugging it into an Apple iPod USB Power Adapter or directly into a computer's USB port.
Let the iPod charge for at least 20 minutes. Note: If the iPod is connected to a computer, make sure the computer does not sleep, standby, or hibernate during the 20-minute charging period.
After the iPod has charged for at least 20 minutes and while it is still connected to the power source, toggle the Hold switch again as in step 1.
Try resetting the iPod by holding down the Menu and Center buttons for 10 seconds.
If the Apple logo appears on the display, connect the iPod to a computer and verify that it appears in iTunes and can play music. If the iPod appears in iTunes and can play music, no further troubleshooting is needed.
If the Apple logo does not appear or the iPod is not seen in iTunes, try putting the iPod into disk mode and restoring.

It doesn't wipe all the music. It's never wiped the music for me whenever I done it.

**CHDad** · 31-07-12, 11:14

Smash it off the ground. It will play dead for 10 mins then work fine.

Going by Music King it'd probably be the best thing for most music collections here.

I thought as much. Purely a prop bet for the monies.
5/1 is amazing odds for the task at hand wp.
If you get the water loading right it should be a doddle.

When is the weigh-in?

**carlop** · 31-07-12, 11:27

Nah she's 22 and has been a contender since she was 16. Apparently she's pretty strong and tall but it's all hardwork and not over the top. Get on board.

As long as she doesnt gambol on herself / opponent in the Bookies & the wind stays at +13knots, I'd put the mortgage on it judging by her form so far.

**V for Vendetta** · 31-07-12, 11:39

You do the course ten times. You discard your worst round and then you have a final go at the course which is worth double points. The total combined score counts. Chalking up a few wins sets her up fantastically well.

**ArmaniJeans** · 31-07-12, 11:40

Originally posted by CHD View Post

11 races in a cumulative points system, with the 11th race counting double (an idea they probably got from Hanna Barbaras Wacky Races)
