go philadelphia!

This grainy clip contains all that is great about Philadelphia: passionate sports fans, boozy swearing, rampaging in the streets, screaming white trash, and drivers who don’t give a f@#&. Seriously, it has everything but the cheesesteaks and Rocky. I love this town and I can’t wait for the World Series!

They might as well just keep the lampposts on Broad Street greased so they don’t have to do it twice when they beat the Yankees.

can i make another “in soviet russia…” joke?

Is that allowed? Do I lean on this old standby a little too much whenever I post something about Russia?

Perhaps I do. I will play this one straight: In Soviet Russia AHHHH MURDER-BUS! RUNNNN!

note to self: never prank someone…

…in the immediate vicinity of Tony Jaa or anyone possessing his amazing backkicking abilities.

I can’t stop watching this clip. It comes from a Candid Camera type show in Brussels, so it should be no surprise that Jean Claude Van Dam also thinks it rocks.

"YEAAAA!"

how it feels to be a uva football fan

It sort of feels like this. It would be more accurate if the horse had kicked Cav Man in the groin as he was trying to get up, but this is close.

In other news, I’m home again after some time on the road so posts should resume as normal.

slippin’ & slidin’

This video inspires mixed emotions for me. On the one hand, these fools look like they know how to have a good time. On the other hand, their choice of the slow, depressing metal soundtrack makes them sound like they have no idea what a good time is.

Watch it with the sound off, crank something fun and funky, and have a good weekend.

more damien walters

The showreel stuff is cool of course, but I may like this even more. It has all the amazing athleticism of the showreel, but also incorporates the bloopers, which can be even more fun than the tricks sometimes.

so you think you can dance? dude, you may never be able to walk again

Hurray! So You Think You Can Dance is back on! Time to dust off a classic:

Boom goes the yarmulke-mite!

gloucestershire: the cheese capital of britain (also the orthorpedic-surgery capital)

Hrmmm….I tried posting something else just now and it isn’t working so here’s something even BETTER! Cheese rolling! Holy monkeys, I love this “sport!” Like many other foreign athletic events (cricket, hurling, Australian Rules Football, Iraqi Jumping Jacks) I don’t really understand the rules of play, but they seem to be as follows:

• Throw your cheese
• Fetch? Race? Capture? …the cheese?
• Hilarity ensues!

I saw this the other day on TV and somehow forgot about it until the fine folks over at Buzzfeed reminded me.

the “very special” forces

This one comes via the good folks over at FailBlog and my homie Luke who brought it to my attention.

I think I remember hearing about these guys in the news recently.

A C-130 short plane transports a battalion of very special forces to the Gulf.
