My Hero 12:26 PM

The Utah Jazz recently honored their former, now-deceased, owner. John Stockton had this to say.




Nothing earth-shaking or mind-blowing, just good to see and hear my hero again. Looks like he is finally starting to age. I should make my move to stalk...er...see him soon.

This Is Hot 1:24 PM

This guy and the guy with the homemade Wolverine claws should get together. I would never go above the speed limit again.

Cut It Out 12:40 PM

The part of me that still makes its home in the sticky hallway of junior high is stoked to see this. But that part of me knows enough to demonstrate on something other than a box, and somewhere other than my mom's basement.

The Leprechaun 2:49 PM

It could be a crackhead or a shadow, but irregardless the leprechaun has emerged from a month-long slog in the YouTube morass to claim ultimate victory! In celebration of the amateur sketch and its resounding defeat of Bubb Rubb, Cassie, Denny Hazen, and the illustrious grape stomp. I present you with this victory dance.



I will give you the gold - because you won.

If you voted for the leprechaun, throw up your camera phone and give me YEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Mirth Announcement 10:46 PM

Once you lose your laughter, it is a slippery slope down to bottoming burnout. So, in light of spring forgetting to arrive, let's crank the hilarity to eleven and pull off the knobs.

In light of (another) bracket defeat by not one, but two girls who have NO CLUE about college basketball, I decided to participate in a bracket that I could win - one that I put together. Below, you will find the preview bracket for a month's worth of mirth - culled from the finest You Tube has to offer. You, faithful reader (and casual passerby who stumbles here) will have a chance to measure the hilarity by casting your vote for one out of the two hilarious videos shown here. The videos are seeded (even though you can't see that) and one will advance from every match up.

Here are the guidelines I used:
1) The videos had to be unintentionally funny. Michael Scott and Andy Samberg will be sitting this one out.
2) The videos had to be clean - which almost disqualified Cassie.
3) When possible, I tried to limit the types of videos. (i.e. I could watch people falling all day). So, limited falling, limited animals, and limited people from Kentucky.

Below, you will find the bracket - voting starts Monday. Any guesses on the winner?

Hall of Fame 4:45 PM

Already in my Hall of Fame, John Stockton is officially part of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.



The story of Stockton's career- he will be inducted alongside / overshadowed by Michael Jordan. It was good to see him again. He looks like he could average 10 points and 5 assists as a 47 year old.

Joys of the Jazz 8:20 PM

It's about time someone besides me paid attention to the Jazz. It's a shame it had to be done this way...



While I hope to raise Stockton as a Jazz fan, I would very much like to avoid this.

They Don't Serve Breakfast in Heaven Either 2:36 PM

This is the most depressing Christian song in history.

"A Chainsaw Hit My Teeth" 2:00 PM

I am not proud that the majority of my blog has been YouTube highlights lately, but this was too good to pass up. Here is "The Turtleman", a gentleman in Kentucky (where else?) that hunts snapping turtles for fun.

Innocent, Until Proven Guilty 1:16 PM

There is nothing funny about children missing or being abducted. With that disclaimer, this newscast makes a hilarious blooper.
