Hockey Streaker Lands Cold

I have no idea where this was shot, but it's becoming a popular video on youtube, as it should be. It's pretty hilarious.

Not only is it already funny because... well, it is a streaker... on ICE. But it gets better when the streaker does a face plant while trying to skate across the rink, hockey stick in hand.....not once, not twice... but 3 times!

No worries. This isn't graphic. (Unless of course you get queasy at the site of hairy men doing nose dives on to hard surfaces!)

I also love how the referee doesn't even try to stop it. As if this thing happens often. Ohhh those crazy Canadians! (who knows, this could have been Tampa for all I know!!??)

"One Tree Hill" Gets More Ridiculous

It astounds me how soap opera's get so outrageous. Just when you think they have no more story line, no more crazy turns to make, no more "come back from the dead" surprises, they just keep topping themselves and DO come back with something else.

One Tree Hill was once a pretty good teen drama about basketball and high school love/drama. (after all love and drama are the same right? ha) But just watch the clip below, and tell me this isn't the funniest drama bit in recent memory. Maybe it's just Joel McHale and his "Soup," but this is great TV. It's too outrageous.....

Oh, and don't worry. The real-life Dan is doing OK and has a real heart. My friend Rhiannon saw him at The Happy Ending in Hollywood a few weeks ago.

Family's Water Goes Up In Flames!

You can't watch this without saying two things:

1: Holy Crap!

2: Where's a lighter so I can check to see if I might be drinking gasoline!

This is absolutely insane. These folks in Colorado have flammable water in their home due to a natural gas leak. Not cool. This deserves a "sure to blow your mind." Or should it??... does this happen often?

Xavier Coach Was Basketball Prodigy

Check out this excellent retro clip from ESPN, approximately circa 1982, when they interviewed current day Xavier head coach Sean Miller, who was practically a Harlem Globetrotter at the age of 12!

Is This A Raccoon Or Freddy Krueger's Cousin?

I'm always a fan of animal humor. Check out this raccoon as it scrounges around with it's hand claw. If I were hanging out in the woods and saw this out of nowhere I'm pretty sure I would pee my pants. "A little creepy" is right! Oh, and I'm pretty sure this is me while watching the NCAA tournament, but instead of nuts i'm looking for the PIP button on the remote or reaching for popcorn.

Woman Faints While Being Interviewed On TV

The interviewer doesn't really seem like the friendliest guy in the world, kind of uncomfortable to watch. But I'm not sure if it was his fault this chick faints mid-sentence. "..open to annnny coaaalllaaggeee...."



And what kills me is this dude's reaction! While she does a face-plant into the sand and the ABC guy tries to help her... he just kind of looks down into a psyched out stare with his hands in his pockets! He's probably just wondering if he is being punked....

The 'Home Run' Of 'Heart-Attack' Burgers

What you see to the left is not your average sized burger. Although it may look smaller in the picture, it is in fact over 5 pounds worth of meat that can feed an entire family of four.

The burger is part of a new menu that the West Michigan Whitecaps baseball club (Class A minor league team affiliate of the Detroit Tigers) is offering at their ball park.

Now we've all seen our "heart-attack on a plate" from time to time, but I'm pretttty sure this one takes the cake!

The "Fifth Third Burger" (dubbed because the Whitecaps' home is Fifth Third Ballpark) is 5/3 pounds of grilled hamburger topped with tomato, lettuce, nacho cheese, chili, salsa and crunched up tortilla chips. The buns that hold it together are 8 inches in diameter.

Kind of makes you want to hurl just looking at it. But hey, that's just my opinion.
