trick or tre…*facepunch*

Happy Halloween, Trashcan Monster! This year I think I’m going to dress up like the black kid and just instantly react to any movement around me with a punch in the face. Wife reaches for tv remote: boom, facepunch. Co-worker pushes a button on the elevator: ka-powey. Bird flys a little too close: unhesitating Shoryuken to the beak.

friday fun: back to school edition

Hope your weekend kicks as much ass as this school bus.

I’m very disappointed in America’s educational establishment for not recognizing this bus as history’s greatest “Stay in School” incentive ever. If this beast picks you up at the bus stop every morning, school is automatically going to be equated with awesome.

schutzhund

Lately the wife and have been seriously considering getting a young German Shepherd Dog to add to our “pack.” We’ll probably rescue one, so it’s doubtful that we’ll be lucky enough to find one with the attributes that make a good SchH candidate, but I still love watching these dogs in action.

negative ghostrider, the pattern is full

Goose, it’s time to buzz the tower. These flyby videos will put hair on your chest. If you are actually in the tower, they will also put coffee on your chest.

(All come via IGx, which is usually so foul that I’ll resist linking to it)

talkin’ ’bout the young folks

Witness the thrill of victory in the new sport of Speed Cup Stacking!

It’s EXTREME! extremely pointless. Look, I’m all for kids achieving their goals, but this is the equivalent of “Speed Shoelace Tying” or “Speed Remote Control Battery Changing.” Do something, kid! Go play outside! Get good at ”speed bike riding” or “speed running.”

Or at least put those speedy hands to use doing something useful like Ms. McKenzie here:

That girl is awesome.

Some political blathering editorializing after the jump

buddy lee

Buddy Lee: olympic wrestler, jeans fashion model, wearer of amazing headbands, expert jump roper. The man can do it all.

EDIT: Apparantly this is a different guy from the jeans fashion model. Who knew?

not the same guy

modern samurai

I’ve been seeing this guy around quite a bit, bisecting tiny mushrooms and flying baseballs and all kinds of crazy stuff, but this, I think, is his most impressive feat: cutting a 6mm airsoft pellet in half, mid-flight. Is this real life? As one YouTube commentator noted, even if this took him a hundred takes to film it’s still crazy impressive.

miami vice’s 12 seconds of credibility

Enjoy the first minute and fifty eight seconds for the fine 80s fashions and the silly shotgun-induced-explosions, but the last twelve seconds is where it’s at.

Lessons learned: be careful if you ever see “the help” wearing shooter’s earplugs and be extra careful if your driver turns out to be professional shooter, Jim Zubiena. Holy smokes that guy is fast.

1 minute, 15 seconds of pain

I set a personal best on the erg yesterday, pulling a 1:27 500M. I hadn’t tried this in a while and I had forgotten just how much it can destroy your ability to function afterwards — my inability to walk was comical. My inability to breath would have been hilarious, if not for that whole needing-air-to-live thing. Anyway, here’s a guy, pulling a world record setting 1:15 (which he has since broken). What a freaking stud!

Best part: the lady at 1:30 bringing him a puke bucket.
