All is quiet.

Hells yes.

Wow. If all three of the guys make it, we might be able to stand a fighting chance against Russia.

For a period.

Have you guys seen the Russian roster for camp? Holy crap. Just end it now, give them the gold, and play the ASG somewhere.

They're a spunky little bunch!

I’ve heard, though, that hitting the ganja too much is what screwed their bobsled team.

I love the link to the gerry-rigs, it reminds me of my dad because he does stuff like that.

I got through about a minute of that video . . .

and decided that my eardrums were worth not puncturing yet. Were the missing keys from that keyboard lodged into the singer’s throat or something? Geez . . . .

And even as a pro-life kind of person, I found that Craigs List post hilarious. Call me disturbed.

One day, David Backes and Albert Pujols will combine forces to become the most awesome piece of violent force known to man.

What's the name of that band...

Two Cats Fucking?

Because that’s what they sound like.

That’s just indescribably bad.

It sounded like a NES cartridge...

… when the game was starting up but there was dust in the NES that makes it stick. That is exactly what that opening sounded like.

The rest of it? Gah… I hope that little kid running around at the beginning was running away.

And let me add...

I feel REALLY sorry for their drummer. He can actually keep rhythm and is doing pretty well… I sense a future for him. The rest of these guys? I hope that Mickey D’s is hiring, because no one would ever give them a record deal. I can’t believe that the camcorder recording this didn’t burst into flames.

Final Countdown!

one of the greatest songs ever. Those fuckers should be skinned alive for even thinking about covering that awesome tune.

What kind of question is that?
