Catch A Wave And You're Sittin' On Top Of The World



But some guy droning on about it for a soundtrack? Pshaw! I want Dick Dale!



I'm not sure if the drummer is smiling, or is passing a kidney stone.

Honorary Borderline Sociopath Of The Day: Ken Imhoff

Dude built his own Lamborghini in his basement, by himself, over seventeen years. At least it wasn't his Mom's basement.



It's presumptuous to offer advice to such a stalwart fellow, but here goes: Next time, buy a Lamborghini with cash, and build a house around it by yourself. It won't take seventeen years, and a house is worth a lot more.

Still; it rumbles nice:

Remember Kids: Waste Your Time Wisely



"Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together." -Vincent Van Gogh


Well, at least no one lost an ear. For that we can be grateful.

Joshua Slocum Approves

Zac Sunderland is the youngest person to sail alone around the world. Just 17 years old. First person that tells him to get a haircut and a job gets a beating from me.



The pirates let him pass. I bet ninjas, highwaymen, rogues, and various other marauders would have too. Professional courtesy.

Thanks, Pastor Jeff, for sending this along.

David Meshow Is The Most Famous Person You've Never Heard Of

He's our Honorary Borderline Sociopath of the Day, for understanding that you always take everything you're doing seriously, but you never take yourself seriously.



That video alone has over eight million YouTube views, and he's got lots more just like it. Let's see you do that by yourself in a bedroom at your Mom's house.

Rock on, dude. The David Meshow.

Oh, The Humanity!



If you wish to carry off a debonair wild-man vibe while piloting a motorcycle with a sidecar, it's best if the sidecar looks like the Hindenburg coming right at you.

So I'm In This Bar...



I was batting cleanup for the Yankees at the time. I was wearing my Congressional Medal of Honor over my Marks and Spencer suit and flashing a bit of cash. I couldn't have attracted more women if I was a bonbon factory having a day-old sale.

And then this bowlegged Italian-looking guy about three feet tall comes in.

I imagine I'll feel that alone again two weeks after they bury me.

(Thanks to Mr. Arthur for reminding us of Fangio)

Tony Curtis Is In This Video. Somewhere. I Guess. Whatever

The Borderline Boy understands that the husband of Janet Leigh and the father of Jamie Lee Curtis' opinion on these matters must be trusted. Let him pick out all your girls on trampolines for you.

Just Tell Mom You're Saving Up To Buy A Bicycle


Don't tell her it's a Harley-Davidson "bicycle." And don't wear pants with flappy pantlegs or you'll end up beside yourself when you end up behind yourself.

Have A Dangerous Summer

Of course, bullfighting has elements of brutality, but so does surgery, hunting, and the income tax. --James Michener

The Plans Call For A Six-Horse...

So of course any self-respecting honorary BSBFBoy worth his salt puts an eighteen on there.



Make your own fun!
