GIT - EЯ - DUИ



I used to employ some Polish painters fairly regularly, but the only words I can understand are right in the middle when the cameraman yells: "Faster, faster, faster" at the guy in the car. I used to yell that a lot.

If The American Idol Had Eight Arms





There are many barriers between us. Language, that sort of thing. But I recognize my brothers when I see them.

It's a stroke of genius, really; they'll pay you just as much to stop doing that as they will for winning the show.

Loved the end. Here's a pile of money! Stop doing that!

When I Grow Up, I Want To Be This Little Boy




A person could go their whole life and not merit an "EYES RIGHT!" and what sort of life would that be?

462 MPH In A Go Kart




Well, not exactly a go-kart. Missile? Rocket ship? Hot Rod? Rocket sled...

Catch A Wave And You're Sittin' On Top Of... A Ten Story Building




Garrett McNamara. You've got to keep your eye on guys named Garrett. They're wildmen.


Apparently there are world records for this sort of thing. That wave is reportedly 90 feet tall, breaking the record of 77 feet.

Housing Bubble. Burst






These fellows could get an entire wing in the Borderline Sociopathic Blog For Boys Pantheon of Greats. The Pantheon is right next to the Borderline Sociopathic Parthenon.

The Best Thing About Surfing China's Rivers Is That After You Get Dipped Into The Water A Few Times, You're Rustproof




A tidal bore, from Wikipedia:

Bores occur in relatively few locations worldwide, usually in areas with a large tidal range (typically more than 6 metres (20 ft) between high and low water) and where incoming tides are funneled into a shallow, narrowing river or lake via a broad bay. The funnel-like shape not only increases the tidal range, but it can also decrease the duration of the flood tide, down to a point where the flood appears as a sudden increase in the water level. Note the tidal bore takes place during the flood tide and never during the ebb tide.

A tidal bore may take on various forms, ranging from a single breaking wavefront with a roller — somewhat like a hydraulic jump — to "undular bores", comprising a smooth wavefront followed by a train of secondary waves ("whelps"). Large bores can be particularly unsafe for shipping but also present opportunities for river surfing.
