*SPLASH*


There are people. People on TV. They are standing on a log in a pool of water trying to use their feet to roll the log to make the other person fall off.

Now wait just a gosh-darn second! Whenever I try to do that, I get yelled at 'cause I'm gonna break someone's neck! But these people are getting big bucks to do it??

I call shenanigans.

Ah the Great outdoor games. It was on at the bowling alley I was at this morning for 99 cent bowling(and you cant beat that price). You must have missed the PSA at the top of the show bout them being trained professionals and not to try this at home :D

=-O 99 cent bowling?! Curses! I need to move to wherever you live!

Yeah, I was kinda staring at the dudes, dumbfounded that people did this ON TV, not reading anything on the screen (cuz I figured it was just all "blah blah won X competion and is the semifinalist for Y" etc etc).

Your bowling shoes... exploded? ...

This, children, is why you should never bathe your feet in nitroglycerin.
