College baseball. Rain Delay. What do you do?

You have a dance off, of course. Until you decide to turn the tarp into a giant slip-n-slide. I don't know why I think this video is awesome. I just do.

Gah!

I recently came upon the last photo taken by nature photographer Michio Hoshino, who was mauled to death by a bear thirteen years ago. Now I've seen many photos on the internet in my time, but none made me jump up in fright before. Until now.

This guy must have had nerves of steel to be able to take that photo. I personally would have probably crapped myself. I might go to sleep tonight with a light on.

(Edit) Fortunately, the photo's a hoax. Unfortunately, that guy really did get mauled to death by a bear.

Meet the new accident, same as the old accident

Two weeks ago I zoned out for a second while driving to work.

I realized I was about to miss my turn and braked quickly. The person driving behind me also quickly braked, but it wasn't as effective for him on the wet pavement, and crashed into me.

I was sore for a day, but I was fine. My six month old car has a crack in the bumper and the trunk's popped up a tiny bit. Shows you how awesome my car is when I'm rear-ended by a giganimous old Bronco and that's all that happens.

The guy was cool about it, and his insurance is paying for my repairs. I didn't even have to call in late to work, because the police station was within eyesight of the accident and he was there and gone within minutes. It really sucks to get into an accident with a new car though, because when you tell people about it, they're more concerned with the damage to the car than to you.

Anyway, the only reason I'm mentioning that is because when I driving home from work today, and passing the same exact intersection, I saw a swarm of police vehicles and three cars pulled over on a side street, in what appeared to be almost the exact same situation I'd been in.

This post's title brought to you by a rephrasing of the song I heard on the radio while I drove by today's accident.

More Beatles Stuff

A new photo has surfaced of the Quarrymen, the skiffle group John Lennon formed that eventually became the Beatles.

I took one look at the photo and got a little chuckle out of it. Can you tell which one of those guys is John Lennon? You might have trouble, since he's the one in the checked shirt. The only one whose face is completely turned away from the camera. Nice haircut, dude.

By the way, when Beatles Trivial Pursuit comes out, I challenge anyone to beat me. It will be on like Donkey Kong.

Just a post for funsies.

The nifty blog Eye On Springfield, whose only mission is to provide screencaps from the golden years of The Simpsons, has made a gif of one of my favorite moments on the series.

Here's the scene in full on YouTube to explain the situation.
