A guy came by yesterday selling a cleaner than works wonders on just about everything. I stared at the sun for a second, hoping I could muster up a sneeze I could aim in his direction and ask, “How is it with germs?” No dice.

…this video is boring. For the rest of us, it’s 100% nuts. Make sure you watch it in full screen. You’re going to be holding your breath most of the way through it, but try to remember to breathe. Your body is going to need air in order to keep saying, “OMG! OMG! OMG!” VCA 2010 RACE RUN from changoman on Vimeo. HT Gadling

Facts: Labor Day and Memorial Day are the two best holidays. They feel like Sundays, but Chick-fil-A is open. Waffle fries can hold ketchup in the airy spaces between potato. Regular fries can’t do that. Chick-fil-A sandwiches don’t come with mayo by default, so you don’t have to worry about them soaking your bread with disgustingness accidentally. HT @couponkatie

One of the best scenes in the history of television.

Heard this disclaimer as read by Boortz…hilarious! Nineteen seconds of commercial, followed by a lot of disclaimer, followed by another 20 seconds or so of commercial.

Second time I done it on my own…

The plan for today’s swim was to warmup with a 300sw/100kick/100sw. Then some sprints, 4×200, and a 200 swim down. The warmup was so atrocious that I changed my plan–technique was all over the place and I felt like I was kicking to stand still on the kick part of the warmup. Instead of the 4×200 I decided to do a straight 800 and try to find an even stride.   Read More ...

You beat yourself up ’cause you love it. Let it go. Let it go. Let it go.

Here’s my buddy Sam on NASA TV talking about the batteries the latest shuttle mission took up to the International Space Station. It’s ok…I zoned out a little when he was giving the dimensions too. I woke up when I heard about the nickel hydrogen cells. But after that it was all “blah blah blah….lasers….blah blah blah….ball bearings”. Lasers and ball bearings are what basically run the whole shuttle. Sam’s a   Read More ...

We were lucky enough to get to watch the launch on Friday from the causeway, and I’ve already been asked by one loyal reader if there was any launch video. Sadly, I don’t have any from this launch. However, I do have the following video provided by the sister-in-law. Enjoy.

The original Iverson press conference was 8 years ago. The remix with Mora, Namath, etc. only makes it more beautiful. HT Tony Bruno.

Cash in. Did I ever tell you about the time I was playing craps with Carson Daly and Dave Navarro? No? Then you may safely infer my losses were heavy.

Tesla – Gettin’ Better. The only thing that could make this better was if you replaced every cigarette in the video with a Coors Light tall boy. That’s a program I could get with.

Great for beating yourself up during a run because what you did last night is causing you great pain now.
