In NASCAR, sitting on the pole is a desirable thing. In pole vaulting, not so much.
Now for you patent lawyers out there, we know you are, by and large, a pretty dull group. You should get some of these inventors for your clients to spice up your practice. BTW, this is NSFW.
For this edition of the MOTM blog, we explore a German sportscaster getting blasted, another insane Japanese baseball catch (this is getting dull, see earlier post) and perhaps the proper response by the sportscaster and the batter.
This is the same team, same park and same pitcher but different fielder from the earlier video (see here).
And lastely, the proper response to all of these and many other things. If the use of the f-bomb offends you, don't play this (and let me know, so I can defriend you on Facebook).
Let's plan on a MOTM Happy Hour in a couple of weeks.
This video has Roger Federer totally drilling a can off the head of some reluctant and nervous dude. It could be fake also, like the monkey carrying the dog. You tell me.
Then there is this. Lighting a guy on fire and having him run around the bases. Do I have to say, don't try this at home (or third base)?
Also, if you want to save time, you can find most of these on Deadspin. I just rip them off.
An update to the post below. The picture of the monkey saving the dog from the explosion might have been a hoax. Imagine, a hoax on the internet. Who knew? I may have to rethink those Nigerian oil minister payments I have been making.
On the continuing farm animal theme, please consider the following for your weekend pleasure:
We won't do a MOTM this week. What with pro football exhibition games starting and preschool sales, who has the time? So, in keeping with the stated objective of updating this blog a little more regularly, I submit for your consideration some pictures and a video, some of which concern sports and sex and some are just cute. The fact that the last couple of posts contain kitten videos in no way should be used to judge the manliness of this blog, should it?
This video is about how to break up a fight. I tried this on Bourbon Street during Mardi Gras in 1973. For some reason, I actually don't remember how that worked out.
OK, just one more quotient of cuteness. This a picture of a monkey carrying a dog to safety away from an explosion in China. There is no information regarding what the other monkeys did for Dorothy.
Now, for the combination of sex and sports, consider the striking visage of the young lady that follows. She is a Playboy Playmate and a University of Central Florida student. To get the tenuous connection with sports, she recently sneaked into the UCF football locker room and did a revealing photo shoot. That is enough to allow me to include her here, don't you think? A further Google search on her will brighten up your day (if you are really into abnormally attractive, scantily clad females). Just saying.
It was very nice to get back into the MOTM thing last night. Warm night at The Dogwood and some kind of fashion magazine happy hour combined to make for a very agreeable ambiance. However, even more appealing was the nice mix of card carrying MOTM originals, new additions and some appearances by some veterans of the MOTM wars. Amanda and Shunit made much anticipated return appearances. Shunit even purportedly drove all the way up from Houston to attend. She gets the longest distance for attendance award. Jude and Amber (the Downtown Austin Blog proprietors), Mike G. and Sean (MOTM charter members), Billy Bob the decorator, Lone Star Todd and his Multimedia posse, the flying Tambunga sisters, the parents of Jake and Rachel, my favorite aerospace engineer and patent litigator and a number of others (lack of specific mention does not lessen your importance nor your contribution to the festivities) made this the best of times. It was discussed and agreed (OK, maybe it was only me) that we should have MOTMs on a more regular basis and we have dedicated ourselves to that proposition. Also, I heard much discussion (voices in my head) about keeping this blog a little more active even between MOTM sessions. We will try to do that too. However, when you are not reading this blog, you can get a lot of really good information from austintechnologylawblog.com, which will also occupy a bit of our spare time. To make this blog more entertaining (as if the stellar writing wasn't enough), we pledge to include more references and pictures relating to sex and sports. We all know the internet under serves everybody on those topics. If there are any other topics that you want to see addressed, please let us know so we can summarily ignore them.
So for the sports theme, consider the following video, which is painful to watch. Last of the twelfth, man on third and the visiting team attempts to issue two intentional walks. You may be witnessing the proverbial career ending move:
And for a combination of sex and sports, consider the sad story of the woman who performed oral sex on Rick Pitino, the Louisville basketball coach, in an Italian restaurant after it closed one night. Then she allegedly (she has been found guilty) tried to blackmail Rick because of it. She also did the honors with at least three other people involved in the suit, including one of her former lawyers. Some people say she was a resident of Louisville, while others say she just blew through town. (Rimshot) See, this thing has already taken a dangerous turn. Peace. Out.
We're actually going to go through with this. Just when you thought it was impossible, the tough got going, we put our nose to the grindstone, the early bird got the worm, the race was to the swift and the meek inherited the earth. All that for a freaking happy hour. Anyway, be there.
Also, for your daily allotment of cute, here is a kitten epic fail (can you even call it a fail if it's this cute?).
Then, for your daily allotment of peace, this video is very relaxing.
And then, for all you sports fans out there, the best baseball catch ever.
It's time again. Meeting Of The Minds arrives in your town this Thursday evening around 6 pm at The Dogwood. That's the reincarnation of Mother Egan's next door to Moltov on 6th. It's new and it's fresh and it's happening. It's where all the hip kids hang out. We should go look at them.
Let's put on our pretty boy sway and our finest business casual and hang out and smoke and drink. I don't think we've forgotten how.
