Brazil Invents the Urinal Guitar



I'm not sure how America got beat to the punch on this, but I'm not happy. This is about the surest sign yet that our grip on global dominance is slipping.

Stupid, useless, likely to cause major disease, ground breaking innovations used to be our thing. We were the only country affluent enough to have people just sitting around thinking up these trivial creations, now we're being supplanted by Brazil? For Chrissakes people, we need to do something about this. Little kids in hill side slums (favellas for you Brazilians out reading this) are going to be pissing guitar solos while ours just stare blankly at tile walls, losing valuable creativity time.


"It sounds exactly like what you think someone whizzing onto tabs in a urinal would," Jones said. "Basically, how Nickelback sounds on everything."

Yup. 

If George Zimmerman's Website Successfully Brings in Donations I May Quit The Internet

Gawker - After weeks of silence, George Zimmerman has emerged with his own website: therealgeorgezimmerman.com. Zimmerman's lawyers have confirmed that the site is legitimate. The site — which loads intermittently, probably due to the number of people trying to access it — has the following statement from Zimmerman: On Sunday February 26th, I was involved in a life altering event which led me to become the subject of intense media coverage. As a result of the incident and subsequent media coverage, I have been forced to leave my home, my school, my employer, my family and ultimately, my entire life. This website's sole purpose is to ensure my supporters they are receiving my full attention without any intermediaries...Zimmerman was concerned that individuals or groups purporting to raise money for his legal defense were scamming his supporters, as he has not received any of the donations. His site includes a PayPal link for people interested in contributing.

Nice try George, if there's one thing I've figured out in running this blog its that the internet just doesn't up and give you money, you've got to learn to earn it...I mean look at this site, my blogging skills land anywhere between complete fire to "this is the downfall of the internet" on a post to post basis, everyday. You'd think I'd be rolling in the loot, right? Well not so much. So excuse me if I think that just posting a link to donate to your paypal account without doing anything to entertain us isn't going to work (though please let me know if it does, I'll have a donate here button up faster than you can blink). 

PS: George Zimmerman is Spanish or Mexican or something, right? Shouldn't the narrative be Latino's and African American relations? I plead a fair amount of ignorance on this whole thing,  as soon as Jesse Jackson became involved I checked out, but I'm just curious if as a white person, do I need to feel a level of guilt here, or not? I'd just like to know in case it somehow comes up in conversation and I need to react appropriately.

Mike Dunleavy Jr. Sissy Fight With Serge Ibaka



Honestly, I guess it was less sissy fight and more like when you're a 7 or 8 year old and your parents are desparately trying to get your ADD riddled minds attention with a firm grab on the arm, sort of shock you back to reality. As a kid you can either submit to the obvious show of dominance or you can flail wildly in an attempt to escape. Mike Dunleavy chose the latter.

I Legit Can't Tell How Old This Rangers Fan Who Caught Hamilton's HR Is


This guy is anywhere between the most feared 12 year old little league'r in the state of Texas and a divorced 34 year old father of 4 boys who owns his own Hunt & Tackle Shop.  It's 50/50, could go either way.

The outfit of a 12-14 year old, brought a glove to the game like an 8 year old, rocking dance moves from the late 80's-early 90's...oh and he appears to have a bushy 'stache. I've stayed up watching highlights of this Hamilton home run like the Zapruder film trying to nail this kid/guy down. (here' the link if the video disappears)

Update: New Video has surfaced with an interview...turns out he's probably more like 17-18, still guessing he has at least 2 of those kids, and maybe the hunt shop...also no mustache? I'm completely confused on that one.
