The Best Worst Event Not in the Olympics: Ski Ballet

Friday, February 19th, 2010

Apparently this video comes from a demonstration in the 1992 Winter Games in Albertville, France and no medals were awarded.

I mean, why isn’t Ski Ballet a real Olympic sport alongside Ice Dancing or Curling? I, for one, wouldn’t mind seeing the announcers get all worked up over this, or seeing Dave Walker in one of those inspiring Visa commercials . . .

McGangbang: The Ultimate Fast Food Sandwich

Monday, December 28th, 2009

I’m sure I have, at one time in my life, eaten both a double cheeseburger and a chicken sandwich in one sitting at a fast food restaurant. But never did it cross my mind to combine the two into one sandwich. That is precisely what the McGangbang is: an entire chicken sandwich, bun and all, put in between the two patties of a double cheeseburger.

McCocktail Bonus Round:

Alie and Georgia have a YouTube series on how to make fast food cocktails. Take a look at their most famous concoction, the McNuggetini:

We’ve covered the Iowa State Fair butter sculptures before, but this is our first foray into cheese sculpting:

“Winners Drink Milk” by Sarah Kaufman, the self proclaimed “Cheese Lady,” for the Indiana State Fair.

This is the most strangely addicting piece of Flash that I’ve seen on the Internet in a while. Think Hamster Dance + Charlie The Unicorn + more weirdness.
