Remember that time when 18 minutes worth of San Diego fireworks display went off in 15 seconds? Apparently 2012 was a bad year for that, because here’s video of something similar happening in Scotland a few months later. This one was said to have been the result of a rocket misfiring and bouncing into all …

A Real Florida Cracker
I can’t stop watching this Terry Funk promo about Jerry Lawler wanting to be a true Floridian. My mind is being pulled equally in 2 different directions: 1. This is hilarious. 2. This man is legitimately insane and would probably kill himself just to injure me in a fight. Then I have another thought. Even …
Some Thoughts After Watching Bound For Glory
Since I took the time to predict the thing, I should probably talk about bound for Glory. I’m glad I bought it, but it really didn’t feel like the biggest show of the year. Nothing was awful and some of it was quite good, but if we’re measuring it by the standards of Wrestlemania in …

Cartrivision
This might be old news to some of you, but I had no idea that before there was VHS or Betamax, that there was Cartrivision. I’m pretty sure that the reason I’d never heard of it is because it didn’t catch on at all. Sales were so poor that it was only produced for a …
I Just Learned A New Baseball Rule
Two people have just learned something. Me, and Vinnie Catricala of the Midland RockHounds baseball team. That thing? It is possible to strike out on just 1 pitch. Turns out there’s a rule covering this, but it’s so rarely enforced that almost no one who doesn’t study these things day in and day out knows …
Start A Mumford Band!
I haven’t seen a Key of Awesome video in a while, which makes it even funnier that I just happened to find this one right after finishing the last post. Start A Mumford Band! Key of Awesome #71 Hilarious.
People Falling Off Of Ladders On TV
Aside from the one doing the falling, who doesn’t like a good video of someone falling off of a ladder on live television? So here’s Nick Collins of Sky Sports doing just that while reporting on a soccer match. Maybe there’s something I’m not seeing in his face, but when the feed cuts back to …
Memories Of Dave Nichol
When I was a kid, you couldn’t turn on a TV in Canada without seeing Dave Nichol in ads pushing the new President’s Choice Memories of something or other. He was everywhere…until he disappeared. I can’t remember when those commercials suddenly stopped (I want to say mid 90’s), but it’s been a long time. But …
Some iOS 7 Annoyances And How To Fix Them
The invitation to upgrade to iOS 7 has been sitting on my phone for a few days now, but I still haven’t bothered. Partly because headaches, partly because I’m going away soon and the last thing I need is a phone that doesn’t work and partly because I want time to read things like this …

We Regret The Error, The June Edition
The geniuses at Deadspin have struck some serious gold with this one. They’ve started a feature called We Regret The Error, which compiles mistakes and the subsequent apologies that air on local newscasts. Amazingly (not really all that amazingly if you’ve watched the 6 o’clock news for any length of time), there are so many …
