No need to thank me for this one…Â It’s my pleasure.
I can’t decide which one looks more out of place - The keyboard player or the drummer… I’m leaning towards the keyboard player.

This is one of those things that most people might find stupid, but I think is hilarious…
God bless YouTube.

Ah, rollerblading. The red-headed step child of ‘action sports.’ It’s disliked by other members of the ‘extreme’ community for many, many reasons… Mostly because it looks goofy, though.
I used to do it, and even I think it’s kinda silly. I did it back in it’s infancy… Just when grinds and rail slides were first being done. It really hasn’t evolved all that much since then… Unlike skateboarding and BMX, there’s not much equipment to twirl around or take limbs off of. In rollerblading, your gear is your feet. Well, strapped to your feet, anyway. Tweaking or boning out an air on skates is nothing compared to doing it on a bike or a skateboard.
Oh, I was going somewhere with this… Since people dislike ‘fruitbooting’ (a derogatory term for rollerblading) so much, they love to see them crash. And here is a link to somebody’s Top Ten Rollerblading Mishaps. It’s pretty good (and gnarly) stuff. Even if you like rollerblading it’s a good watch.
If’n you’re too lazy to bother, here’s the #2 crash on the list…Â This is from a video released back when I did this goofy shit.

Sun, Jul 27, 2008 - 13.70 mi [Cycling]
13.70 mi in 01:04:49 hours at 12.68 mi/h on GT Zum 1.0. [Cycling] White Rock Trail. Didn’t start out nearly early enough. Kelley kept a good pace for her on the way down to the lake, but hit the wall close to the end. We rested for a while, but she didn’t think she could make it back to I rode all the way back to the car and drove to pick her up. 100 degrees today. With Kelley.

I’ve been meaning to post this forever. I’ve seen the billboards all over DFW and have meant to take a picture of one, but haven’t. Turns out it’s on the web for me to post:
DOES ANYONE SEE THE IRONY IN THIS????
You see, it’s funny… You can get a Mike Modano checking account. And checking is the term for a body hit in hockey. Which Mike Modano DOES. NOT. DO.
Don’t get me wrong - I respect MiMo and all he’s done. I just find it funny that his name is right before the word checking. I guess there really is a first time for everything.
(I finally got off my ass and posted this since Chris posted about Modano over at her blog.)
