Oct 22 2009 I'm A Ninja, I Can Do That: Crazy Trampolining
This is a video of Oli Lemieux doing some wild ass trampolining plus wall walking and other ninja-y stuff while practicing for a Cirque du Soleil show. It's pretty cool but I could do it all twice as good but I would never film it because I'm modest. Also, the most handsome man on the planet.
Thanks to The Gurr, MoD, Asbo and Jennie, who once jumped so high on a trampoline they showed up on radar and the government shot missiles at them.
May 21 2009 Dunlop Sponsored Car Sets Loopty-Loop Record, There's A Loopty-Loop Record?
Dunlop, in a move to prove that their tires won't explode even while upside-down, made a giant loopty-loop and had some tiny car ride through it. Not much more to say, except I could have done two consecutive loops. On fire. While banging a dinosaur. In the backseat.
Loop-the-Loop Dunlop World Record [metro]
Thanks to Andy, who once rode a roller coaster with his hands up the whole time.
Mar 1 2009 Awww: Bizkit The Sleepwalking Dog
This is a video of Bizkit the sleepwalking dog. You should watch it, it's funny and sad at the same time. SPOILER ALERT: The dog sleepwalks into the wall. I originally thought it was cruel, but then watched the rest of the user's videos and they film the dog all the time, so I don't think they knew it would run into the wall. That said, I'm stealing Bizkit and starting a circus. DOOT DOOT DOODLE DOOT DOO DOO DOO DOOT. Cotton candy makes my clothes come off!
Hit the jump for a couple other videos of Bizkit, including one of some wicked sleep-standing action.
Apr 4 2008 Elephant Paints Elephant Portrait, I Want It
This isn't a gadget or gizmo. It is, however, awesome. It's an elephant painting a picture of an elephant -- holding flowers! Now I'm not saying that this pachyderm is smarter than a human, but it's definitely smarter than all my friends. Who, if you must know, are a rag-tag bunch of no-talent asscaps. The video is long, so feel free to skip around. But don't skip breakfast -- it's the most important meal of the day. Say, this reminds me -- one time when I was a kid, my parents took me to the circus (which I will never go to again) and there was a guy in the ring whose job it was to catch elephant shit with a shovel before it hit the ground. So this elephant starts to squat and he comes running -- but he couldn't hold the shovel up due to the weight of the turdage. It kept banging on the ground and spilling! Oh the hilarity! My brother and I heckled him the whole time.
Thanks to Steven, who knows what's up, for the tip
Mar 25 2008 Trapeze Chandelier: Start Your Own Circus Act At Home And Break Lots Of Stuff
The Do Swing is a trapeze chandelier. It's currently conceptual but you could probably make your own as long as you found a solid stud running in the ceiling somewhere. Blah, blah, blah are those coke whores stretched out on the table? Why wasn't I invited to this party? The chick on the left is totally about to flash the camera. The far right one is drinking and peeing on the rug simultaneously. The crazy drunk is swinging from the chandelier and one of the coke queens is looking up her skirt. All the while the skanky one on the table is trying to nonchalantly size up the camera man's package. Advertising people: this is how you sell products. I just called the company and ordered ten. They told me they're still just conceptual but I told they could keep my money anyways.
