Redneck Wrecking Ball and Profile in Courage - Videos

It must be a redneck behind the controls of the wrecking ball in our first video because who else would be so careless that he would allow a wrecking ball to swing out into the street right into the afternoon traffic? A hapless SUV driver becomes the recipient of bad tidings from an enormous ball and chain.

Talk about being in the wrong place at the wrong time. It is said that this driver did manage to survive the speedy onrush of the massive glob of iron and steel, although I cannot imagine how.

Have a look for yourself:



It is still hard to understand how anyone survived that hit. More power to the driver.

Although there is only a little humor in our second video, it is still on our must watch list. Mother Nature dealt 27-year-old Nick Vujicic an incredibly tough hand in the card game of life, but what impresses everyone who sees this video is how Nick handles his misfortune.

This one you must watch:

New Dominoes World Record Set - Video

Every few years someone sets a new world record for collapsing Dominoes, and it is always a fun video to watch as the small little squares tumble in succession. But now Dominoes come in colors which makes for an even better video to watch.

4,345,027 dominoes fell last Friday night in The Netherlands during a two-hour TV show. Since the Dominoes appear to now come in just about every color in the rainbow, the Dutch crew setting them up can really let their imagination run wild when designing how they will look and fall.

These folks seem to have gone all out with their designing. Some of the designs are just incredible.

Let's watch.




That was truly cool!

Knight in Armor and Lemonade Stand Pranks - Videos

Knights in Shining Armor

Some of the best videos are the ones in which a prank is played on some unsuspecting innocent bystander. Here we have a fellow dressed up in a suit of armor. Of course, the tourists think it is an empty suit of armor. Watch the fun that naturally follows:



I think that half of the fun on that vid is the deep voice of the announcer laughing at the antics.

Lemonade Stand

Remember when you were a kid and you tried to sell lemonade on the street corner. Bet you didn't make too much money, did you?

The next video is a prank in which a few young boys with a lemonade stand fool their customers into thinking that the lemonade is really something other than lemonade. The customers react predictably when they think they discover that they have been duped. Let's watch:



I think that one blonde woman actually began to cry. I don't know about you, but I really liked that vid. I wish I was that creative when I was a kid.

Beaker and Meep Take Over High School


The Muppet Beaker from The Muppet Show has figuratively taken over a New England high school, where students are constantly repeating the sound "meep" over and over again. Beaker, who is best known for repeating the sound "meep" on the PBS' series, seems to have been informally elected champion of Danvers High School, in Danvers, Massachusets, and the students at Danvers are meeping all over the school grounds and throughout class.



They are meeping so much that Principal Thomas Murray has banned the sound from being uttered on school grounds. He has also sent an automatic phone call to parents informing them of the no meep policy. From now on any student caught meeping will be subject to suspension.

Principal Murray claims that the students refused to abide by his "reasonable request" to refrain from meeping so he was forced to institute more austere measures. Murray claims that the students planned the coordinated meeping on the Facebook web site.

According to WHDH TV in Danvers, Senior Alex Buzzi takes credit for starting the craze. "You see someone in the hall and you go 'Meep' and they go 'Meep' back and nothing, it's harmless," Buzzi said.

Students claim that a freshman biology teacher felt threatened by the word. "They like to anger him and walk by his class and say it so people get suspended for it now," said Brianna Lapointe, a junior.

The following video shows Muppet Beaker singing a Meep song:



The video has already received over 7 million views on YouTube, so do not be surprised if this becomes a national craze with students nationwide meeping everywhere.

Funny Midas Auto Repair Radio Scam

The following podcast touches home because we have all been there. The auto mechanic makes his pitch and we usually do not know enough about auto mechanics, so we don't know whether to believe him or disbelieve him.

Podcast-It's like watching a video with your eyes closed!

Give a listen:


You know you can never have too much headlight fluid on hand. You just run of out of that stuff so quickly.

The following is a transcript of the radio skit for those who like to read along:


MD: Hello?
A: Hi, is Michelle Depalma there please?
MD: this is her
MD: Hello?
A: Hi, is Michelle Depalma there please?
MD: this is her
A: Hi, Michelle, Alan here from Midas auto care.
MD: Hi, Alan
A: Hi, uh, looking at your car, you brought it in for an alignment and a tune up.
MD: Yes I did.
A: yeah, we found a few more problems here, just preventive maintenence, just wanna run 'em by you see what you think.
MD: okay.
A: Just making sure you want these done. First of all the headlights: the headlight fluid is a little low, we're gonna need to top that off
MD: Alright.
A: and it'll probably be, it depends: do you want the halogen fluid or the regular fluid.
MD: Umm....well how much do they run?
A: well, it's about 10 bucks or 30 bucks...it's a question of quality really; I really wouldn't skip out, I'd go with the halogen.
MD: the halogen is better?
A: yeah.
MD: okay...and you said that was a bout $30
A: yeah. each headlight.
MD: each headlight? so...$60.
A: yeah.
MD: okay, we can go ahead and do that.
A: okay, I'll mark that off, good call, Michelle. Okay, Tires...I don't even know how this happened, this is weird. Somehow the left tires got on the right and the right tires got on the left, so you want us to switch those back around for you?
MD: Um, yeah, is that dangerous?
A: oh yeah. I mean, be thankful the front weren't on the back and the back on the front. That could cause a real headache.
MD: Oh gosh!
A: well, sometimes the servicemen get confused if you've had it in for service recently.
MD Well how much is that gonna cost?
A: That's gonna be about $50 per tire
MD: Per tire?
A: But we don't need to do the spare, that we can leave alone.
MD: yeah, we don't need to do the spare...so $100?
A: Yeah $200.
MD: Oh $200
A: yeah, $50 a tire and you'll be thankful. Imagine you're going down Southfield and whammo you hit a pothole? big problems. yeah
MD: okay, alright we can do that
A: And the biggest problem here, uh, my guy checked it out, I don't know, last time you were in for service, how long do you think it's been since you've had your car checked out.
MD: ummm, I don't know, maybe a month ago?
A: yeah, I don't know how this happened, maybe when you parked it in a mall or maybe in service, someone removed the transmission.
MD: the transmission?
A: yeah, it's just gone.
MD: don't you need that to...
A: well you ...it improves gas mileage, but...you really probably need one. You want us to install one for ya?
MD: well, yeah, if I really need one, but how much is that gonna cost me?
A: well, it's gonna be a bit, I'd actually get 2 for this kind of car
MD: okay, 2? how much is that gonna be.
A: How often do you drive in reverse?
MD: umm...I guess just when I back out of my driveway
A: okay, can you park in the street maybe?
MD: yeah, I could probably do that.
A: okay, because no reverse function that'll save you a few hundred right there.
MD: oh it will?
A: yeah, especially if you're getting 2 transmissions.
MD: ok.
A: so, there's one last thing, and this is purely cosmetic, and I don't know if it matters to you, we noticed in your car that the cigarette lighter was missing?
MD: yeah it is
A: we can throw that in no charge, we can throw that in
MD: oh really?
A: yeah, do you want that. That'll just be $70 installation, but we won't charge you for the cigarette lighter.
MD: oh ...okay, well...how much is everything going to be together.
A: uuh...let me run up a total here ...let's see, we've got the tires, halogen fluid, lighter installation, 8, 3, 6, carry the 2..and add that in there, labor..okay, this is great, not too much damage in there, we're talking $2443,
MD: Oh my god
A: and that's great because the cigarette lighter you have in there is not a very expensive one.
MD: oh, well, I need to call my dad to see if I can borrow some of the money
A; sure
MD: ...to help pay for it. Could I call you back?
A: yeah, actually we might have someone here who can help you when you call back
A': yeah, when you call us back can you call us at the new Q95. This is Mojo in the morning and you're the victim of a phone scam.
MD: OH!
