too violent for the civil war

or a man on an empty stomach

Who wants a boring grave when it's there time to leave earth? Not Robert Clay Allison. Shown above is 'ol Bobby's gravestone. An American gunfighter and one of the most ruthless killers in the Wild Wild West, was discharged from the Civil War for "personality problems" and quite possibly for being a crazed lunatic. Obviously someone with such a grim tombstone must have died a barbaic way right? Naw. Allison fell of his wagon and the rear wheel ran over his neck killing him instantly. Ouch. Robert Clay Allison - He never really figured out how to sit properly on a moving wagon. More on the man with the most bad ass tombstone ever. Wikipedia.

breuer, left = funny.. gadhafi, right = dresses like a clown

Jim Breuer, most recognized for his role in Half Baked (or for having the same day of birth as me!) is an American comedian. Muammar Gadhafi, enjoys listening to Beyonce and being a crazed lunatic. Until the past month or so, I really hadn't heard of Gadhafi. The only place I ever heard of him was on a radio skit Jim Breuer did with Opie and Anothony. Understandably the events in Libya are unfortunate and lets hope Gadhafi chills his grill soon. But this bit is too funny to not venture back to, some of my fondest middle school memories. And that skit is here, thanks to our good friends at youtube Days at Sears.

michael noland's the starry night

It is not often that I don't find something amazing or interesting on Accidental Mysteries, but this recent post I found most excellent. Michael Noland creates surreal images of historical paintings and landscapes with colorful and exaggerated representations of animals. Shown here is The Starry Night, just one of his amazing pieces done all with oil. More of Noland's work at Tory Folliard Gallery.

just doing work

After annoying my brother for far too long trying to replicate Dan Patrick's  call on the game winner, while trying to watch the video of Kemba Walker and the DP radio show at the same time. I decided it was time to collaborate, with the help of Arcade Fire. Step back!

boon-a-palooza

"he walked off the plane with the help of no one."

The date is to be determined. More than likely this summer. But the 2nd Annual, or 1st since it has never happened, Boon-a-Palooza. Performances by none other than Shortcut featuring Thunder on drums. Andrew Haigh. Get your ass back to America. In honor of the man, the myth, the legend.

angry birds

 

Conan just doing work on this Angry Birds level. Not to thrilled with the fact that Kim Kardashian has now added "singing" to her resume. As if $65 million last year for doing nothing, wasn't enough. Legendary.

top 250

clint, the original american badass

After watching "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" for four and a half hours the other day (terrible idea to watch it on television) I decided I need to start watching better films. With this one being the 4th best of all time according to IMDb, I am going to knock out the Top 250 by.. the end of summer. Go.

patriots dominate, again

the patriots beat number eight ranked tcu horned frogs 3/1/2011

The Dallas Baptist Patriots, my new favorite baseball team of all time, wins again. What some might consider a David v. Goliath according to the score, Tyler "The Lumberjack" Robbins goes yard to give the Patriots their first, of many runs of the game. Full story.. Patriots win 25-2 over Nawlins

the netherlands

Some of the world's most breathtaking buildings. My personal favorite shown above, The Institute for Sound and Vision, in the Netherlands. Glad to see The Midwest getting some love down in good old KC. Take a look for yourself over at Yahoo!'s travel page.. Most Beautiful Buildings
