Times like this, I love baseball

The commentator said it all.

Update: It turns out that this is a 'viral ad' from some beverage company... i still think it's pretty funny.

Gina, she's so pretty

Kirk for President.

Siamese Squash?

Or is that a "male" squash?: I think I saw one of these under some guys' truck on the way to the store. Not sure.

Ask...

...and you receive:



$700?! That's the price of a board already... I'm not in Australia where I think the issue is a bit more pronounced. I still say, if I'm on Gus' menu, let it be.

Stay away Gus!

My bro pointed me to this video:



A model for surfers would be greatly appreciated!

Haz Cats?

My first entries of LOLCATS...

My hook shot

I love to play basketball. When I am in shape and have my game on, I favor my hook shot. I model my hook shot on the master:



I'll hit some from fairly far out. Nothing like Kareem. Still, I have a mean hook shot.

The Preakness

If you are going to the race this weekend, you may want to take in the *other* event that is happening there, the Outhouse Trot:



I think this may be what I now consider, to be the height of stupidity. Not because doing this event might land you in something quite literally "crappy", but, it's an enormous waste of perfectly good beer. Ya, that's what everyone is flinging at the runners. Full cans (and some bottles) of beer.

Earth to Mars: Phoenix landing

I saw this clip of the explanation of the Phoenix mission to Mars. This is an attempt to land near the north pole of Mars to see if they can find water or evidence of water:



I love this stuff, having grown up in the Air Force in the 60's on a missile base.

What will be interesting is:

a.) will the craft actually make the descent (other missions have missed)?
b.) will it actually land intact?

Dropping the last bit as the video indicates, seems like a humongous risk. I believe in science. This is really hard work. I'm not taking bets, but, I'm guessing it will land successfully. If it does, the knowledge that comes from that, should be awesome.
