I live in the greater Philadelphia area, where it’s currently snowing, raining and windy. Your typical crappy winter day. What with climate change, we all need to get used to hotter summers and even more crappy winters. Even London received the most snow they’ve had in 18 years this week. They don’t even have a snow plow — because they usually never have enough snow to plow.

So, on that happy note, let’s think about what positive things colder, snowier, icier winters can bring — a hell of a lot more accident videos to watch on YouTube. Positivily smashing, eh?

Yesterday, for another blog, I did a little book review of Life And How To Survive It by John Cleese and Robin Skynner (no relation to famous behaviorist BF Skinner). So, just out curiosity, I went to YouTube and stuck in the words “skinner” or “skynner” in the search feature and looked to see what came up.

This is always fun to do, especially if you are desperate to kill time in an entertaining way. Just stick any random word or word combination into the search feature at YouTube and see what weird and wacky stuff comes up.

This is what happens when people with a lot of time and an imagination have fun.

Balloon bowl skateboarding!

I admit it; I am completely jealous of this guy. Or I would be if I could skateboard. This looks like so much fun. Just imagine being in a bunch of balloons that, put together, are taller than you.

Michael Vick is the quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons… and also maybe, possibly, and allegedly a dogfight breeder. Have I covered myself enough there, or should I add a few more words for maybe. *Goes off to find thesaurus*.

Anyway, when someone is in the news for a possible crime like this, then you can always rely on YouTube to provide a song about it, and so here courtesy of BradyFan83/Harry Chapin/Ugly Kid Joe is Dog’s In The Kennel…

This is amazing. I don’t even think I could turn a Rubik’s cube with one hand, let alone solve it in 20 seconds. In fact, thinking back, I don’t even think I ever solved one of these mind numbingly difficult puzzles, either as a kid or an adult.

Does this turn you on? Or make you want to vomit? (more…)

I was sorely tempted to just put this video on and not comment on it at all. It’s one of those YouTube entities that need no explanation, but, I’ll give it one anyway.

Being British, Football or Soccer is in my blood, so that explains why I look for clips on the sport on YouTube. What it doesn’t explain is the recnet outbreak of violence that is seemingly creeping on to the pitch! Last week we had, and I posted footage of the Inter Milan and Valencia players going toe to toe with each other at the end of a match. This time it’s the turn of a bitter and idiotic Tottenham supporter to run on to the pitch and try to attack Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard at the end of the FA Cup quarter final replay on Monday.

I’d love to try this human slingshot out, it looks so much fun… and just a tad dangerous too. I don’t know if these kids know it or not but of course it would have been a great deal funnier clip if the girl had fallen out of the device and flown off in to the trees somehwhere, never to be seen again, but hey, this will do nicely. The high-powered quad bike is a nice touch too, giving the whole spectacle a very classy slightly redneck feel.

Woah there, this is some strong stuff. This is footage of the fight that took place after a recent Internazionale Vs Valencia soccer game. On Wednesday night the two teams met in the Champions league match in Mestalla with the result being a goaless draw. This meant Valencia went through to the quarter finals, unfortunately the lack of action during the match was totally overturned at the final whistle. The footage comes from Sky Sports and you can hear pundits including Andy Gray giving their opinion. (more…)
