If this isn’t a testament to the fatness of our country I don’t know what is. On the other hand, my curiosity is piqued.. In the end, I think the idea of it is enough to make me want to vomit. Let alone applying it to a sandwich I will then consume. If I want to be fat, I think I’ll just go for the real thing.

Stolen straight from barstoolsports.com but I don’t care, this has to be one of the funniest videos I’ve ever seen. Katie seemed a bit disturbed as I watched it for the 10th time in a row last night, but I don’t care, people falling all over the place and getting injured is hilarious, I can’t get enough. I’m going to watch it again right now before I finish this post. Okay, yes, awesome. Anyways, one of my favorite parts about this video is how the hill doesn’t look that steep so the physics of everyone bouncing head over heels (literally) and onto their heads and flying ridiculous far on their face seems absurd. After some more research, it seems the hill is in fact quite steep and the 8lb ‘custom made’ wheel of cheese reaches speeds of 70 miles per hour. Impressive, you know, for a wheel of cheese.
“GET THE CHEESE!!”
Sometimes I’m happy that I was raised the way I was, far from being spoiled or having rich parents then sometimes I’m not. Having to kind of cash and spare time to be traveling the world at 18 years old and producing artwork like this certainly lends me to believe I missed out on certain aspects of life.
These pictures (friends of a friend) came up in my Facebook newsfeed yesterday. I have been wanting to plan a spring skiing day this season with jeans and a sweet jacket like that so badly. I’m going to begin searching every goodwill store from now until April.
This was 1/2 of all commuters in Boston today. Wonn sent me this link after she herself fell seventeen times on the ice. Link brings you to Boston.com’s full series of 5 photos documenting the spectacular digger.
Another gem found by KJ:
File this under “reasons why I think I grew up in the wrong decade.”
My return to the human race has allowed me to further investigate this Bush shoe throwing incident (http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/story?id=6463495&page=1). That was magnificent, but some thoughts:
1) After 8 years as leader of the free world, I respect only two moments of the Bush presidency: his solid first-pitch fastball at the Nationals game after September 11th, and his quick evasion of two point-blank shoes. I hope both are commemorated on some kind of plaque or mural at the Bush Library as the only two moderately successful moments in a devastating era.
2) I’d say my confidence in the Secret Service is at an all-time low. Given the guy’s press status, I suppose getting off one shoe is reasonable, but a pause, followed by a second shoe seems to be a bit much. Kennedy would be pissed, if he hadn’t been killed by a shot, a pause, then a second shot. Way to learn a lesson.
3) I have no evidence to support it, but I assume Obama would have caught the shoe, thrown it back, and killed the guy as in Bruce Lee’s “Enter the Dragon”. Then he probably would’ve slept with his wife. Again, I just project that as fact.
4) My absolute favorite part, however, is this little nugget from Bush’s post-shoe interview: “I don’t know what his beef is”. Good point, what’s his deal?
In fact, read that article, his whole interview is gold.
