LEGO V-8

I'm fairly certain a 1971 Ford Maverick had something like this for an engine, only less reliable, and made from weaker materials than plastic. But then again, a used Maverick was less expensive than a LEGO Deathstar is, and you could actually get to second base in the back seat.



If you're over the age of 16, and have a LEGO Deathstar, don't bother Googling "getting to second base," because you're never going to.

Why Don't You Board It, Man?

My friends and I used to downhill ski. 220 cm skis, go as fast as you can. We used to meet guys like this every once in a while. Different planet. We used to just refer to them as "Wildmen."

Future Plumbers Of The World Unite!

The low-slung pants of the typical skateboarder point to a future career in rightie tightie leftie loosie. Gotta have fun while it lasts.

Just How Fast Is A Formula One Car, Exactly?

Some wag overlaid video from a Formula 1 race over a FIA GT race to give some perspective. FIA GT is sorta like a European version of what used to be called "stock car" racing. The original car has to be street legal. Then they replace damn near the whole thing, and race.

Danger? Pshaw! Although Your Left Foot Does Seem To Catch Fire Pretty Regularly

Modern Mechanix asked in 1940: Is this the car of tomorrow?  You guys rest. I'll take this one. The answer is "No." Lotsa laughs, though. I like the tuck and roll padded interior in lieu of airbags. I bet you could hold a mixed drink in there and not spill it. With the front wheels entirely inside the fenders, you won't be making any turns anyway. 


The car still exists, apparently:

A Kind Of Knock-Kneed Heaven

It's A Simple Game, Really

All you have to do is put that man on the ground, or better still, just take the ball away from him. There's eleven of you and only one of him. How hard can it be?


The sportswriters and the Intertunnel Comment Shakespeares all said that the NFL is a joke to allow a crummy team to take up a precious playoff spot when all they do is stumble to a Division title in a joke of a Division. I agree. Why do we let the Indianapolis Colts play in the playoffs year after year for winning the AFC South, anyway?

Wholesome Explosions, Chapter 133: The Backyard Mortar

Back before running with scissors was considered a suicide attempt. Before being forced to wear a helmet to ride a plastic tricycle in the living room. Way back before pointing your index finger and saying "bang" was a felony. Back then, we occasionally ended up being called "lefty," and that's the way we liked it.

I Looked Up The Definition Of "Dogsledding." The Dictionary Is Wrong

Sledding Is An Art Form, Not A Sport

I see those fools in the Olympics sitting like passengers in an engineless Prius, dressed in matching spandex union suits and wearing their short-bus helmets, and that's when I know money can ruin anything. You need to get snow down your pants, and at least risk crashing into one another, or you're not even trying.
