I’m very impressed by their feat, especially since their motorized chair has brakes. From what I’ve read, this chair may have been super duper fast, some reports calling it the WORLDS FASTEST OFFICE CHAIR. The cops are very hush hush about the top speeds attainable. If this contraption traveled at a poky speed no one […]
This tidbit was sent to me by an un-named sooper genyus to whom I am eternally grateful. This art work came loose, brought down a power line then broke a window at a children’s home. As a piece of art I don’t find it inspired or well executed. The shock of the poo is nothing […]
The big question is, how yummy is it?

Ahh, summer when a young person’s thoughts turn to mischief and fresh air. All you really need is some rope and a plank and at least 2 collaborators. Glad to see this wholesome activity appearing on this side of the Atlantic. The word for people who study such things is cereologists.
Was it aliens or pranksters […]

Not every collector aspires to one day amass a collection valued far beyond dollars, but most of best think past the cash. Mr Savada was such a collector- more historian and host than salesman. 5o tons of records! The mind boggles. To transport it will take six 20-foot-long Federal Express trucks. Wow. Thanks Mr […]

I strive for tolerance of other cultures but c’mon people, it’s not rocket science to figure out one does not poo where one eats or where ones children play. Lord I love indoor plumbing. The photo and caption are chilling. This story is so absurd in 2008, it almost belongs in THE ONION, but it’s […]
Yippeee! Couch flies again, and lands, safely! I can only imagine the magic of seeing him waft down thru a blue sky in an Idaho farm field on a clear summer day, popping balloons, spilling kool-aid and smiling. He handed out some of his balloons to those who came to see him land. Wow, thinking […]

There’s some great drinking stories that come from Australia, below is one of them. I’ve heard in some parts of the States that scooters, moped, and riding mowers are all used by the drunk to avoid getting a DUI.
