Unlike Breast Implants, Here Gravity Beats Petroleum Products Over Time
Mr. Motorcycle doesn't appear to have his heart in the race. Hope you didn't have a bet down.

If Rube Goldberg Was A Vandal
People wouldn't do this sort of thing if their surroundings weren't so barren. It's a form of grass growing in the spider cracks in the pavement. A sign of life.

Just Once In Your Life, Do Something Worth Photographing From A Helicopter
Photo:TeroRepo
Borderline Blog favorite Xavier de le Rue and his amazing cameramen and women continue a season of boarding the hairiest lines. Too much ice for your intrepid blog host. I did have my picture taken from a helicopter once, though. I was drunk and on a sailboat. Seems somewhat less daring than Xavier.

She Don't Lie; She Don't Lie; She Don't Lie -- Propane
Chris Marion decided playing Guitar Hero was getting a little boring. Like any self-respecting borderline sociopathic boy, he knew that flames make everything better. So quite a bit of brass and copper and teflon tape later, he had a truly heroic Guitar Hero to play on.
Tapping into the Guitar Hero controller adds some electronics cred to the HVAC party. What exactly can your average non-borderline boy accomplish after learning everything your typical high school education has to offer? Not much. A boy's got to make his own fun in this world.
For those about to singe your eyebows, we salute you!
Lots more hands-on photos and description at Chris' website, FireHero.

Electricity, Heights, And Women
Only one of those is always lethal.

Waiting For Gravity To Pull You Along Is For Amateurs
Man did not crawl from the primordial ooze just to wander this earth looking for a hill to slide down. He was destined, right from the first, to strap a gluteus maximus scorcher on his back and, as Doctor Suess puts it: Go past fast.Troy Hartman is our kinda guy; a thoroughly BSBRB kinda guy. He even has an entry on his webpage called "Senseless Acts." I have that on my business cards, right after "International Man of Mystery and Intrigue," and "Screen Door Repairs."
(Thanks to Clifford from Red Stick Rant for sending that along with the note: Hope this contributes in some small part to the best damn blog on the Interwebz. Hmmm. I wasn't aware you could view this blog on the Interwebz. I post it on the Intertunnel.)

I've Finally Found A Video Of The Inner Workings Of My 1966 Dodge Dart's Engine. No Wonder The Thing Wouldn't Start On Cold Mornings
Back then, LEGO soccer balls were only like seventy cents a gallon, too.
LEGO World 2011 ran in Copenhagen, Denmark, from Feb 17th through Feb 20th. This is the award winner for LEGO's Great Ball Contraption contest. It has a record 93 separate modules. It was the work of seven people from Holland, Belgium, and Denmark.

The Borderline Sociopathic Boy Is Fearless. He Runs Up One Side Of An Ogre And Down The Other
Ueli Steck speedclimbs the Eiger ("ogre" in German). He gets to the top in record time, then remembers he forgot to bring his sled. Bummer.

Art Is Organized Destruction
You grind pigments. Deface canvases. Smash block of marble. You trouble the ear with noises.
Get yourself organized.
Get yourself organized.

There Are Only Two Types Of Ski Jumpers. World Record Holders; And Guys In Traction
Johan Remen Evensen, world record 246.5 meters or hogsheads or stone or whatever they've got in Finland instead of proper measurements.

The Rules Of Soccer Seem To Have Changed Since I Was A Young Lad
But this guy would have won then, and this guy would win now.
Billy Joel hasn't improved any, though.

When You Grow Up, I Hope You Get A Big, Important Job, With Lots Of Exciting And Interesting Gadgets At Your Fingertips, And A Nifty Office, Way Up High, With An Unbelievable View. People Will Look Up To You, Then, Trust Me
St.Clair Photo Imaging offers the Borderline Boy in all of us a 360 degree panoramic view from the seat of a P-51 Mustang, which may very well be the coolest thing ever produced by the United States of America.

Couloir My World
Honorary Borderline Sociopath Xavier de Le Rue continues his snowboard adventures with an Italian Job. The Dolomites dare you with their couloirs - "a narrow gully with a steep gradient in a mountainous terrain."
From his bio: "Better try and crash than think you could do it and not give it a shot."

I Bet This Guy's Paper Route Was Done In Ten Minutes Flat
Nice touches galore. The rider is wearing a pinstriped suit. A German Shepherd wanders onto the course in a desultory manner. Stuff like that.
(Thanks to Matthew May, and friend of BSBFB David Thompson, for that one)
