The Best Little League Game Ever

Posted by Gary on April 9th, 2008

Those crazy cats over at Improv Everywhere have done it again. They descended upon an unsuspecting little league game in Hermosa Beach, CA. And by descended, I of course mean they brought a bunch of fans, a Jumbotron, some NBC play-by-play announcers and the Goodyear blimp.
The cool part is no one was in […]

Lacrosse (the sport, not the city) draws throngs

Posted by Gary on March 23rd, 2008

Denver’s major sports arena is the 19,000+ seat Pepsi Center.  Came across an interesting article from the Rocky Mountain News that points out that the tenant with the largest attendance at the center is not the Denver Nuggets of the NBA (17,099 avg. attendance), nor is it the Colorado Avalanche of the NHL (16,728)… but […]

Packers Poetry

Posted by Gary on January 8th, 2008

As I may have mentioned, TubaPants comes at you from the frozen tundra of Northeast Wisconsin. And, like it or not, the Green Bay Packers are more than just our team, they are a way of life for many. Open the phone book, and you’ll be dumbfounded by the number of businesses that […]

Wasting time… again

Posted by Gary on October 2nd, 2007

Yea, so the other gazillion web timewasters weren’t enough.  Now I present to you “Press the Spacebar“.  Do just what it says - see how many times you can press the spacebar in an allotted time.  I hit 47 in 5 seconds.  This could very well take up my entire day.

In the event you were considering purchasing a bike in the near future, this video may very well dissuade you. And yet, I simply can’t stop watching. ouch.

Quest to be the Biggest Loser

Posted by Gary on September 28th, 2007

I’m fat. Not big-boned, or husky, or fluffy… I’m fat. So, fatso, whaddya gonna do about it?
Glad you asked.  Because besides being overweight, I’m also pretty competitive.  And a bunch of folks I know have gotten together for our own version of The Biggest Loser with cash & prizes for the bloke who […]

Now pitching… The Lefty-Righty

Posted by Gary on June 14th, 2007

Even if you’re not a baseball fan (communist)… you gotta admit this is pretty freakin’ incredible. There’s this kid pitching for the Creighton University baseball team who can pitch with both arms. And he’s pretty darn good with each.
His name is Pat Venditte, and he’s a junior who, as you can imagine, is […]

Sulu zings Hardaway

Posted by Gary on February 23rd, 2007

“Well, you know, I hate gay people. I let it be known I don’t like gay people. I don’t like to be around gay people. I’m homophobic. It shouldn’t be in the world, in the United States, I don’t like it.”
Tim Hardaway is nothing if not honest.
And, George Takei (openly gay actor best known as […]

Skate to the Face

Posted by Joe on February 15th, 2007

in the flair of Gary posting the skydiver falling, I’ve decided to post this video of an ice skating pair, and the accidental skate to the face. I had a big “omg” kind of reaction to it, so I can’t imagine how someone with an ounce of humanity will react.

Test your “bounce”

Posted by Joe on January 14th, 2007

Okay, this link was listed by a female friend of mine, I don’t troll the internet looking for this stuff… but on the other hand, its too damn hilarious to not share.  Plus, apparently its like a public service announcement or something.  Anyway, its basically an advertisement for a certain kind of sports bra.  It […]

Wisconsin hunter bags deer with 7 legs

Posted by Gary on December 14th, 2006

“It was definitely a freak of nature,” says Rick Lisko of Waucousta, WI of the 7-legged deer he nailed with his pickup truck along his mile long driveway. Not only did it have a couple two tree extra legs, it had both male & female reproductive organs.

“And by the way, I did eat it,” […]

It’s good to have dreams

Posted by Gary on November 21st, 2006

So what if you’re a convicted rapist who bit a guy’s ear off in your previous occupation? Can’t a guy get a second chance? How about as a gigolo?
Yea, Mike Tyson is looking to turn things around by becoming an “escort” at Heidi Fleiss’ new legal brothel for the ladies in Nevada.
Says Mr. […]

Baseball, 2011 A.D.

Posted by Jared on November 13th, 2006

It’s actually more of one huge advertising scheme.  Apparently, the A’s, who share their stadium with the NFL’s Oakland Raiders, want their stadium to be so futuristic that watching the game from home will seem primitive.  Seats will contain individual laptops, allowing fans to personally view replays whenever they wish and as many times as […]

Balls!

Haven’t foggiest idea when you are going to encounter a lava lamp on the golf course, but they’re blowing shit up… what’s not to love. Check out the site for the new Nike golf ball, the Juice 312.

Run Like The Wind

Posted by Matt on October 23rd, 2006

Nothing like winning the Chicago Marathon.  Nope, nothing like running faster than anybody else in the race.  Here comes the finish line.  Hey Bob, do you think we should have squeeged that carpet?  Nah, what’s the worse that can- OOOOHHH!!
