There will always be a market for ridiculous

I heard a great story the other day that involved a stunned bobcat, a suitcase, and a get-rich-quick scheme via christmas trees, and it got me thinking about how despite all the science and religion and all that other stuff out there, most people choose to be really clueless and just like to go out and have fun without hurting others. Or really, be ridiculous. Fun is a universal need, and even though we (well, I, at least) sometimes tend to think of our long-gone relatives in black and white photographs as having led stern, sensible lives, they we're probably tearing it up just like any of us do today. As this video from 1938 clearly shows, nothing made any sense back then either.



My two votes for the now equivalent of that fun little video:





Sure, there's probably imbedded meanings about youth culture and oppression and all that, but it's way too much fun to analyze this stuff.

That's my family.

Word on the street had it that my family was on the front page of some Canadian family tree / genealogy website...and as it turns out, we are!

that's my family

Guinness

So awhile back I was in a book store and I decided to leaf through the Guinness Book of World Records, as you do, and came across a fun little fact:

I am now the holder of a world record.

Yep, the Most Successful Internet Trade. A category I never knew existed, and I'm quite certain, never did. That's right, a brand new category. So I win by default. Which is still pretty cool. Let's get serious for a second here, it's not like trading red paperclips for houses is as established of a pastime as eating airplanes or growing cabbages.

I wonder if I'll get a certificate or a blue ribbon for this record. Maybe there'll even be a trophy! Imagine what that might look like.

Wow, I actually just noticed the Guinness Record Book has GLOW-IN-THE-DARK features! I have no idea what that means, but if it means an easier time reading about wonderful and amazing world records, in the dark, then I'm all about it. K, gotta go now. Gonna read the book. In the dark.

Have fun,

Kyle
