Why, Sometimes I've Believed As Many As Six Impossible Things Before Breakfast




You guys remember Icarus, don't you? Well, this is Icarus' little brother. The one they didn't mention much. He wore that helmet you see in the video on the school bus. Licked the windows. Ate paste. You remember him in Geography class, don't you? He thought the Ottoman Empire was a furniture store. Yea, that's him; that's the guy. He believes he can fly.

Snow-Man Cave



The true Borderline Sociopathic Boy builds his own man cave in the winter. It's usually warmer in there than the living room in your house, because dad keeps reading the oil bill and turning the thermostat down.

Apparently, Skydiving Is Now Like Crossing The Street In Kindergarten: Everyone Hold Hands!



However did the author of this video avoid the temptation to use It's Raining Men for the soundtrack? The one he used is just as awful, so you might as well get the bad joke in, I always say.

I Get The Impression...




And please, try to understand, it's just a vague feeling -- a hunch, as it were... No! An inkling. That's what it is. An Inkling!

Anyway, I have an inkling that these boys know how to empty the bottles in the first place.

(Thanks to Gerard at American Digest, who I am certain is capable of emptying the bottles, because I've seen him do it, for sending that one along)

And Yet, No Matter How Much You're Willing To Pay, You Can't Find A Good Chimney Sweep



I'm as borderline a borderline boy as you can be, but when I act like a dang fool up on a roof, I at least bring a few shingles and a hammer.

Remember, Kids: Chicks Dig A Digger




It's telling that you can find dozens of dupes of this video on the Intertunnels, and not one person that uploads it has any idea what to call a front end loader. Our little operator in the video is only five years old, according to the video -- and looks it -- and he's deftly operating it, while the entire population of the Intertunnel is at a loss as to what to even call a machine that does real work in the real world.

Typing gibberish with your thumbs is not an important skill, kids. Get one.

Everyone Needs A Hobby

My hobby is not building an entire train in my basement. Other people's hobbies might differ:

The Borderline Cyrillic Blog For Boys, Distilled




Ah, mother Russia. The land of scrambled limbs and dashcams. Folderol and self-immolation. Their coat of arms is a fork in an outlet; their national anthem is a whoopee cushion under a faceplant. God bless them, and keep them. He must have a big collection of them by now; they burn bright but don't last long.

(Thanks to Gerard at American Digest for sending that one along. He's moved halfway to Russia to observe them more closely)

It's A LEGO LEGO Sorting Machine. And No, I Don't Stutter




Tomorrow he's going to build a contrivance that builds a machine that sorts LEGO blocks. On Sunday, he's going to build an apparatus that builds a gizmo to build a machine to sort LEGO blocks. On Monday ...

Reporter Is Mousy, But He's Game



The Vice Channel sends out a semi-intrepid reporter to the Big Sandy Shoot in Arizona.

Vice tries to cultivate a wild and crazy image about themselves. But considered dispassionately, they're the real squares, doing real reporting. Interesting and compelling things are going on in the world, and they go and look at them and report what they've seen. That's what reporting is, or at least what it used to be. No other news organization I know of would have used that gathering as anything but a pretext for a camouflaged editorial.

By being a kneejerk oppositionist, any other reporter would have missed out on discovering that shooting big guns is fun, and interesting, and the people that do it in Arizona seem like pleasant, friendly, and avuncular folks.

Super Slow-Motion Clay Pigeon Shooting Is A Blast




Please exhibit trigger discipline at all times, unless that guitar player walks in front of you.

We're Thinking Of Changing Our Name To The Borderline Cyrillic Blog For Boys




Climb into a plastic sphere and get rolled down a ski slope by the low bidder in a country where vodka is one of the four food groups. Brilliant!

2012 Highland Park, Michigan Firefighter Helmetcam


(Tedious, potty-mouthed rap soundtrack)



Somehow or another, these heavyweights answer the bell, round after round. Living on the Borderline.

Perhaps The Original Borderline Sociopathic Boy's Job: Driving The Fire Truck




That's 1926. Of course if you want really old, how about 1893?





Remember the BSBFB motoring motto: If you don't like my driving, stay off the sidewalk.

If At First You Don't Succeed, Bang On Your Mini MiG With Spanners Until You Get The Damn Thing Off The Ground





Boy, I wish Australians spoke English, so I knew what they were saying. Anyhoosis, this barefoot fellow only needs to mount a camera and gun on this thing, and he'd immediately have the twentieth-most effective air force on Earth.
