I give this speech to my kids – “if the activity your about to participate in has the potential for loss of life, it’s time to rethink your participation!”

Behold I give you Bug Skiing.

As a freshman in college I thought it would be interesting to see how fast I could go on top of my car while holding the down hill ski position. I needed a driver and my buddy Steve volunteered. I don’t know the top speed (I’m hoping Steve can share a comment with the mph info) but I do know that the human body does not brake as fast as a car.

To this day I thank the good lord for my poles because I dug those things into the gap between the windshield and the roof to keep myself from popping out of my bindings.

Here what I learned;

1 – You’ve never seen this stunt on any reality TV show because the physics are unpredictable.

2 – “If the activity your about to participate in has the potential for loss of life, it’s time to rethink your participation!”

Thanks Steve for the photo!

If you’ve ever jumped into a FB thread thinking your attempt at humor would propel you to the stages of the Tonight Show or Late Night with David Letterman think again.

Don’t bore humanity and post the same old crap. Unless your cat’s been burned beyond recognition or you’ve gotten herpes from a toilet seat; keep it to yourself.

Hey FB, do us all a favor and add the feature that allows us to unfriend and tell the person why. “Dear soul sucker I can’t take it anymore. I’m unfriending you because your last post/comment exhausted the human spirit and sucked life from this planet. Collectively we are no better as a species for reading your crap. I don’t wish I’ll things on you but they’re going to happen to you anyway because associates (let’s be honest we we’re never friends, I was just trying to be nice when I accepted your friend request) like you attract the WTW’s of the world. I won’t wish you luck because your attitude repels luck. Instead I’ll click send and I’ll never think of you again.”

For the record I was lazy. Every teenagers lazy but wake me up……..never. Even though I wished that all cats had been harmed in this post they were not.

Wow! Just, Wow!!

It might have been expensive lemonade but here’s what my .50 bought.

1- Refreshing – it was really good lemonade on a warm spring day

2- Joy and Excitement – you could see it on the owners of that sidewalk beverage business.

3- Mindset – Who knows what a successful lemonade sale will do for the mindset of those business owners. One success leads to another and somewhere in the future those kids may produce the next great start up.

What happens to that little mind when it tries and doesn’t sell one glass of lemonade?

They say that Rugby is a gentleman’s game played by hooligans.  15 players on each side, 1 referee and a giant field.

Why does Billy’s mom (from the opposing team) have to stand right behind me and cheer for her son?  With such a large field it makes sense to have one teams fan base on the left and the other on the right.

I actually wished ill things on Billy just so his mom would shut the hell up.  It got so bad that I had to go for a walk or I was going to high tackle Billy’s mom myself.  Once I returned from my calming session I sat in quiet hoping my son and his team mates would snap Billy’s leg.

I feel better.
