how not to field a baseball

The following picture is of an outfield play in baseball gone wrong.  The team featured in this debacle is the Philadelphia Phillies, who happen to be in the playoffs this year.  But, as you might imagine, this picture is not from this year.

This is not a caption contest, per se, but if you have any idea (real or imagined) about what’s going on here, please share in a comment.

carving a pumpkin with power tools

How does a REAL man carve a pumpkin???  With POWER TOOLS of course!!!

What does a chainsaw, drill, shop vac, palm nailer, power chisel, and torch have in common? Chris Grundy uses them all to carve a pumpkin for Halloween!

I recently spotted this video (click here) on the diynetwork.com web site and it nearly made me laugh out loud!!!

This guy is COOL!!! This is how power tools were meant to be used!

Why didn’t *I* think of this?

buying a car as an investment

With today’s financial climate — that is, the economic crisis and the crashing of the Dow Jones Industrial Average — buying a car is now a good investment: you still lose 40% of the value when you drive it off the lot, but that’s better than most mutual funds these days…

How to have fun at a Pumpkin fest

I get a e-mail about once a week spotlighting various vacation destinations or places to visit.

The most recent is about the Circleville Pumpkin Show that is held each year in Circleville Ohio. (read more here if you are interested)

“The festival features hog calling, pumpkin throwing, and pie eating contests; a Miss Pumpkin parade and pageant; cooking and crafts demonstrations; and live music, all attracting over 400,000 visitors. But the stars of the show are enormous pumpkins, with last year’s largest weighing in at 1,524.5 pounds. Not to be outdone by the farmers, town bakers produce “the world’s largest pumpkin pie”—over six feet in diameter and weighing more than 400 pounds!”

Now you may be wondering why I’m talking about some pumpkin festival and not finding a topic that would seem more interesting.

here’s why… its this picture taken of the festival.

I can’t help but think… “man oh man, what i wouldn’t give to drive a monster truck through all that!!!” or at least a 4-wheeler!!! that would be crazy mad fun!

I vote we set this up as an event here in Arkansas, like they do the monster truck shows, we could sell tickets and everything! I bet people would pay good money to come watch vehicles smash and drive through thousands of pumpkins.

sounds like great fun for me! and We should hold it in the fall in honor of halloween or thanksgiving.

mmm… Thanksgiving… thinking about that makes me hungry!
