I’d chide this man for his imprudence, but I think he already knows his hobbies aren’t exactly the most practical thing you can do with a roll of toilet paper.

I always end-up running out of things to read on vacation. I hoped to have that beat by bringing my Amazon Kindle on vacation, but alas — it had not arrived yet (I got it the day after I came home, will take it traveling soon. I love it at home).
I lugged a ton […]

I don’t really get why this guy had his suitcase open out on the field long enough for a rattle snake to climb on board but hey — it made for entertainment.

Seems Mayor Bloomberg declared gun paint kits a menace and helped declare them illegal. While these new kits by Lauer aren’t for sale in NYC — they are named after its 5 boroughs and include a stencil to add the Mayors face to your gun.
Snazzy!

This video has been viewed 26 million times on YouTube, so I’m probably the only one of us who hasn’t seen it, but it’s worth throwing another copy up just in case. It’s eight minutes long, but worth watching the whole thing.

Oh the times I have wanted to hit the eject button! Perhaps to launch a rocket and destroy the slow jerk in the Caddy? Or to vaporize the small woman in the RAV-4? Seems such cool gadgetry is available outside of Q’s labs — you just need the disposable cash of a drug runner.

From “Birdleg’s” Appalachian Trail journal:
Separated from his party, Danish explorer and prolific author Peter Freuchen dug a trench in the snow to escape a blizzard. He lay in the trench and slept. When he woke, he found himself buried beneath the snow and a thick, ice-encrusted surface. He tried to sit up but the ice […]

Seems our hero, London floor-fitter Lefkos Hajji had a really bad idea. He decided to put a $12,000.00 engagement ring in a helium balloon and not hold on.
But as he left the shop, a gust of wind pulled the balloon from his hand and he watched the ring — and quite possibly the affections of […]

If you haven’t been watching The Wire, one of the characters jumps something like three or four stories out of an apartment building and is able to hobble off. From an interview Alan Sepinwall’s blog:
Is it true that Donnie (Andrews, the inspiration for Omar) in real life jumped off a balcony the same height that […]

I actually like the lesson this girl is learning: no matter how much good you do, if you break the rules — you gots to pay!
Seems the young girl was on the bus when calamity struck and she leapt to action…

Look — when the aliens get here my child will be horrified if Daddy just lays down and lets them take over. She expects Pops to keep the reflexes sharp, crack a brute over the head, grab his weapons and get to saving New Mombasa.
How to do that while she is sleeping in the next […]

An 18 year old in Florida died while “surfing” a Cadillac Escalade. Evidently he was in a shopping cart, holding on to the Caddy. They hit a speed bump and his eulogy will be very embarrassing.
Cameron Bieberle, 18, of Winter Park was thrown to the ground after the Cadillac sport utility vehicle he was holding […]
