Not pictured: My plunger
This is awesome! And perfect relaxation music for a Friday. He was 10 years old when he did this.
This video has been on YouTube since 2006 so I know I’m a little slow in discovering it. But I found it hilarious and had to post it on here!
USAToday.com released a list of the most annoying words/phrases. To go to the article, click here. You can read it below:
If you’re like, whatever, don’t be surprised if, you know, someone gives you a dirty look, or whatever.
That’s because, according to a recent Marist Poll, Americans find “whatever” to be the most annoying word — by far. In fact, 47% think so.
“You know” is second, at 25%, and 11% can’t tolerate “it is what it is.”
The poll says 7% would like to ban “anyway” from all conversation and 2% are fed up with “at the end of the day.”
While “whatever” is clearly scorned nationally, Marist did detect some differences in tolerance-level by region.
In the Midwest, 55% are, like, totally against “whatever,” while only 19% disapprove of “you know.”
But in the Northeast, only 35% find “whatever” most annoying while 32% are fed up with “you know.”
Can you think of any more phrases/words that should be on the list?
I’d like to throw in I know, right?, sucks, for shizzle or anything that ends with -izzle, and crunk.

Have you ever seen a guy do something totally stupid like hit on a girl with a cheesy pickup line, drive a car with spinning rims that were made out of cheap plastic, or try to impress his friends with a mullet? We all have. In fact, we’ve all probably done something that stupid, or watched our friends do something that stupid, giving us reason to say, “Don’t be that guy!” Thus, today we have our first installment of “Don’t Be That Guy.”
The guy who sees a 30 second trailer for a movie and says, “That movie is gonna be awesome!!!—don’t be that guy.
The guy who uses “bro”, “bromance”, and “Broseph” more than once a week—don’t be that guy.
The guy who plays air guitar during a live concert—don’t be that guy.
The guy who spends more money on Axe Body Spray than groceries–don’t be that guy.
The guy who owns every season of The Girls Next Door on DVD–don’t be that guy.
The guy who comments on girl’s Facebook pictures with “hot”, “sexy”, or “OMG”—don’t be that guy.
The guy who puts a new sub in his Honda Accord and sits outside Arby’s with Jay-Z blasting trying to pick up teenage girls—don’t be that guy.
Any guy with a dirt stash—don’t be that guy.
The guy who gets around “No Shirt, No Service” by wearing a beater to The Cheesecake Factory—don’t be that guy.
The guy who goes to the pool in a t-shirt and jeans and just stares—don’t be that guy.
The guy who calls everything “gay” because using two syllables is too difficult—don’t be that guy.
Any guy over 30 who shops at Abercrombie—don’t be that guy.
The guy who follows Megan Fox on Twitter and tells everyone he knows that they’re friends—don’t be that guy.
The guy who still quotes South Park—don’t be that guy.
The guy who says he reads Maxim for the articles—don’t be that guy.
The guy who reads every plot description of every movie at Redbox—don’t be that guy.
The guy who is blushing and claiming he didn’t rip one—don’t be that guy.
The guy who invites girls over to “my place” aka his “parents’ basement”–don’t be that guy.
The guy whose lifelong goal is to catch every Pokemon–don’t be that guy.
The guy who hasn’t opened a book since he got one signed by a UFC fighter–don’t be that guy.

The Brink Podcast
Author: DavidJones // Category: Ethics, Pop Culture, Random, Sports, The Church, Youth Culture
As much as I would love to blog, I have no time today. So, instead, let me provide you with a reminder to listen to The Brink Podcast by visiting www.thebrinkonline.com/podcast or clicking on the magazine logo above.
In this week’s episode (8/14) we discussed Michael Vick, saving money for college, Ouija Boards, and the question that is bound to make you uncomfortable: Do Christian women dress too sexy?
Also check out the previous podcasts while you’re on the site. You can download them from iTunes, put them on a CD, and take them with you in your car. It’s like we’re sitting in the passenger seat with you…but with more room!
If you’ve ever used Redbox to rent a movie, you probably have a frustrating story to tell. Not necessarily about the Redbox machine, but probably about the people using it. In a perfect world, here are the rules I would make for using Redbox:
1. You are not allowed to read the plot description of every movie in the machine
Some people have no idea what they want to rent, they just know they want to read about every single movie that’s available. I can understand taking a look at the plot for an Academy Award winner, or even checking the rating so you don’t get something that’s inappropriate for kids. But please don’t read the description of every D-list movie that involves zombies, killer geese, and Pauly Shore.
2. Verify you have a credit card before you start browsing
After waiting 10 minutes for someone to rent Scary Movie 16, it’s a little bit annoying to hear, “You have to have a credit card?!?!?!” followed by profanity, profanity, and even more profanity. Then they look at the next person in line like they should volunteer their credit card.
3. If you can’t figure out which way to swipe your credit card, you’re shouldn’t be in possession of a movie
It happens…a lot!
4. Anyone renting more than 2 movies must first yell, “Anyone returning a movie or picking up an online rental can get in front of me!”
What a utopia!
5. You have only 3 minutes to select a movie
Friday night I went by Redbox to pick up at movie. It was located outside of Walgreens. When I got there, a guy and his family were selecting a movie. The line was about 4 people deep so I decided to go inside, pick up a few things, and come back. I went in, looked up, found what I needed, waited in line to pay, and got my items. This took about 7-8 minutes. When I got outside, the same people were still going through movies, trying to make a decision. I got at the end of the line (now about 8 people deep), waited another 5 minutes, and then left. Quick and easy idea: you get 3 minutes to select a movie. If time runs out, you go to the end of the line where you can ponder your movie choice.
6. If you are at the machine and there is a line behind you, you are not allowed to pull out your cell phone, call someone, and ask, “What should I rent?”
If you need help making a decision between two movies, that’s fine and acceptable. But please do not call your “boy” and go through every movie in the machine and see what he thinks.
7. Do not block the handicap parking spaces or the drive-thru with your car
I’m talking about you Hickory Harlem and Highway 30! “Hmmm…I could let that handicapped person have a close parking space…or I could stay here and rent Tyler Perry’s Why Are All My Movies the Same?”
Since it’s Friday, here’s a little bit of Friday fun with a Japanese Flash Mob. If you search for “Flash Mob” on YouTube you can find all sorts of stuff like this.
