                                                                                     Quote from Kim Komando:

Roller skates were invented in 1760. And the concept hasn’t changed much since then. Put the wheels inline, and you’ve got Rollerblades. Stick them to a board, and you’ve got skateboarding. That’s pretty much it. But the man in this Video of the Day has other ideas.

Meet French designer Jean-Yves Blondeau. He’s invented the Buggy Rollin’ suit. It’s a suit that attaches wheels to every part of the body. All the major joints, chest and back become roller skates. This allows one to travel in almost any position.

This strange contraption has earned Blondeau the name Rollerman.

But Blondeau isn’t satisfied cruising sidewalks. He takes his suit to the extreme. He’s recorded a top speed of nearly 70 mph. He puts that speed to use in this video. You’ll see him rocket down a twisting road in the Swiss Alps.

The son asked his father, 'Dad, will you take part in a marathon with me?'. The father, despite having a heart condition, said 'Yes'.
They went on to complete the marathon together. 
Father and son went on to join other marathons, the father always saying 'Yes' to his son's request of going through the race together.
One day the son made a suggestion - 'Dad, let's do the Ironman together.'  Again, his father said, 'Yes'.
For those who don't know, Ironman is the toughest triathlon of all. The race encompasses three endurance events of a 2.4 mile (3.86 kilometer) ocean swim, followed by a 112 mile (180.2 kilometer) bike ride, and ending with a 26.2 mile (42.195 kilometer) marathon along the coast of the Big Island. The father and son went on to complete the race together.

A quote from Mathew Wright:If you've never seen "Cog," it's a 2-minute commercial following the progress of a real Rube Goldberg contraption. It was created in April of 2003. The short video took more than 600 takes before every little step of the machine worked perfectly. True Rube Goldberg followers would never edit a video to fake a perfectly functioning machine.

                                                                                 Quote from Kim Komando:

"The Comedy Barn in Tennessee is home to a long-running variety show. One of the show’s staples is a standup comedian. For one bit, he pulls audience members onstage. But on this day, he got more than he bargained for.

One man breaks up the show. No, he’s not causing trouble. He’s just laughing. But isn’t comedy supposed to make you laugh?

Wait until you hear this guy. Even the professional can’t keep a straight face. Enjoy."

                                                                                 Guaranteed to make you laugh!

                                            Quote from Kim Komando 05-23-08 regarding Russian Break Dancing!

                                                 " What do you think Soviet soldiers did in their free time? Shine their shoes?

                                                  Clean their rifles? Have a dance off? Huh? Yep, and they were pretty good, too.

                                                 This video shows two teams of Soviet soldiers competing with dance.

                                                 They jump, spin and do kazotskys (squat-kicks). It’s some seriously physical dancing.

                                                  It’s both humorous and impressive at the same time.

                                                  It reminds me of break dancing. And that makes sense with the video’s choice of music.

                                                  The song is called It’s like that by Run DMC.

                                                   The original music video featured two teams of break dancers squaring off.

                                                    I think I may like the Russians better!"

"Jerry’s Breakdown is an ungodly complicated bluegrass guitar song. It was written by bluegrass legend Jerry Reed. He wrote it to be played by him and his idol, Chet Atkins. They preformed it together. They traded off sections – dueling-guitar style.

Antoine Dufour and Tommy Gauthier are two young musicians. They have a go at the impressive Jerry’s Breakdown. But they throw in their own twist. They only use one guitar. It looks like they had a blast playing it. And you’ll have a blast watching it! Enjoy. "  Quote from Kim Komando

                                             Prepare yourself for this one - maybe with a Stoli martini or two. 

Back in the days of the Soviet Union, the Soviet Red Army had an official choir composed of male soldiers and musicians.  It still exists.  The Red Army Choir performs throughout Russia to this day.

Now consider the Finnish rock band called The Leningrad Cowboys.  A little while ago, they held a concert in Russia, in which - to the screaming applause of Russkie teen-agers - they got the Red Army Choir to join them on stage for a performance of "Sweet Home Alabama."  In English.  You couldn't make this up.

We're talking seriously off the wall here.  Better have that Stoli ready when you watch it:

 The video below is of one of the homeless in Santa Barbara with his pets. They work State Street every week for donations. The animals are pretty well fed and are mellow. They are a family. The man who owns them rigged a harness up for his cat so she wouldn't have to walk so much (like the dog and himself). At some juncture the rat came along, and so no one wanted to eat anyone else, the rat started riding with the cat and often, on the cat. The dog will stand all day and let you talk to him and admire him for a few chin scratches. The mayor of Santa Barbara filmed this clip and sent it out as a Christmas card.
