Acrophobia






The most sweartastic movies

Find a stick. Better yet, find about ten sticks. Then start shaking them one at a time at each instance. When one breaks, get another. Shake the stick.

Why?

Here's a list of movies which have more f-bombs, curse words and foul language than you could shake ten stcks at.

Pratfalls and faceplants

Here's a video collection of funny mishaps.

Don't try to follow along with the soundtrack; it's a mishmash of music and Dutch and four-necked guitars.

Watch below.



Mind boggling inventions

All is well with the world and we all have too much money. Pfft! Right.

Here are a coupla new doodads have been sprung on the American consumer by those clever marketing geniuses.

First, a motorcycle engine USB hub for your desktop. With this you can plug in numerous USB devices and bug the crap out of the guy in the next cubicle when you "fire" it up.

There's more here with a video demo.







Next comes this battery powered spaghetti fork. It does the twirling for you. How lazy can you get?

"We can't have pasta tonight, George, because we don't have any batteries!"

Just go here to see.

CRAP! We just missed it!

The "object" shown at the left is a four-necked guitar-bass-mandolin-banjo. It was sold on eBay with the winning bid of $255.

Someone has to be pretty talented to play one of these. Probably look ridiculous at it too. That and luggin' the damn thing around from show to show. The investment in strings alone probably cost a bundle. Tuning it? I'd say if yer not ready in a half hour we're starting withoutcha.

Every man should carry a pocket knife

I've been carrying a pocket knife since I was a Boy Scout when me and Robert Baden-Powell hung around together. It has been an indispensable part of my "wardrobe" and a very handy tool at any given time. The one I have I bought at Sears in 1974 and I still have. Sharpened it 116,596 times. Every Christmas, I have to pull it out and pass it around for everyone to zip open their gifts. It is now fondly referred to as the "Christmas knife." The style I have is called a "toothpick." It's similar to the one shown above except for the curved part of the liner.

If yer a man, you will have a pocket knife; no ifs, ands or buts about it. Why? You must read this very interesting article on why every man should carry a pocket knife.
