Alain is secretly Imelda Marcos!
Naw, I'm just kidding. I like the sneakers posts. While I wouldn't wear this shirt on a dare (fat men + polo shirts = horrifying man teats) it's a pretty cool design.

I wonder if you fell into that thing while it was draining if you'd survive. There aren't any turbines to chop you up or grates to Play-Dough Fun Factory you to death. You'd just need to hold your breath and maybe wear a helmet. Not that I'm going to volunteer to take the plunge, mind you.

He needs to get together with the Ninja Turtles lady.

Maybe it's "Richard Scarry's Big Book of Natural Disasters!"

Back where I come from, we call these things "Bunsen burners" and they cost 10 bucks.

I always figured that "Fiji" was a brand name and that the water was really bottled in Teaneck, New Jersey.

Wow, that guy really did look like George Costanza! My dream job is to be the "Token Gaijin" in Japanese movies. Like the vaguely western cigar-chomping general in Godzilla movies who ignores the dangers of above-groung atomic testing.

My ex-girlfriend once told me that Daddy Longlegs are actually one of the most poisonous creatures on Earth, but they're not a threat to humans because their, uh, fangs are too small to pierce our skin. No idea if that's true or not and she was notorious for being full of [expletive deleted] but I try to avoid being covered with thousands of them just the same.

A coworker of mine is a descendant of Phineas Gage, the man who had a railroad spike driven through his skull and lived to tell the tale.

There are gentlemen whose "thing" is to squirt super-hot hot sauce into their urethra. Not really my scene.

Odd use of Dixie in that clip. Neat dog, though. He should get together with that little dog whose front legs got cut off and now he runs around on his hind legs. They could travel the country solving crimes!

I'm watching Puppy Bowl III!

Didn't Steve McQueen also do all his own motorcycle stunts in The Great Escape?
Oops, no I just checked - Steve McQueen did all his own stunt riding in The Great Escape except for one stunt done by Bud Elkins! That is apparently how Mr. Elkins got his start as a stunt driver.

These guys never, ever knew what they were talking about. They're atomic scientists making predictions about fields in which they are not experts - geopolitics and war. Their opinion carries no more weight than yours or mine. It would be like having an expert on insects write books on human overpopulation or an expert on linguistics lecture on economics. He or she may have a point, true, (I'm not saying that people can't work outside their fields) but greatness in one field does not necessarily equal greatness in all fields.

11 stone = 69.8 kg = 153.8 lbs

That poor dog!
