14-Year-Old Girl Nails Van Halen Guitar Solo

Josh Wolford — Wed, 22 May 2013 13:40:29 +0000

You know the Van Halen song “Eruption” – that two-minute blister of a track where Eddie Van Halen just shreds. Yeah, you know it.

Well, this 14-year-old girl named Tina knows it. She knows it well. And she’s so much better at guitar than you are. How does that make you feel, guy-playing-Wonderwall-at-the-party? Huh?

Best YouTube comment: Typical 14 year old girl. Doing something awesome, looks bored while doing it.

See how they compare below. I think she does more than admirably.

You stare at the clock. It hasn’t moved in minutes. You’re starting to get a headache, and you remember that your dog chewed up your favorite pair of shoes last night. It’s only Tuesday and you’re ready for the week to be over.

I know your day is a bummer. I know you need a beer. But here’s something to make you feel better

Portland Police Brake for Ducks, Even in Hot Pursuit

Josh Wolford — Thu, 16 May 2013 14:39:07 +0000

This may be the most intense police pursuit you’ve ever seen. Traffic Officer Mark James of the Portland Police Bureau caught a car doing 52 in a 35, endangering the lives of every motorist on the road.

Hot on the trail and catching up to the speeder, James hit a roadblock. Inncent lives were at stake. Of course, officers are sworn to protect and serve – even if those that need protection are on the featherier side of things.

The violator got away. Damnit, foiled by ducks again.

Foul-Mouthed Kid Loves Hot Cheetos, Is Probably Yelling at You on Xbox LIVE Right Now

Josh Wolford — Fri, 03 May 2013 21:10:22 +0000

This is a kid. If you have a kid, and it’s not this kid, congratulations. Right now, this kid is probably calling you a queer on Xbox LIVE. When this kid grows up, he’s probably going to make people feel very uncomfortable in subways.

Despite what the title of this video says, this is not the funniest thing ever. I don’t even have a problem with the kid’s foul mouth. F*ck it, he’s right. Flamin’ hot cheetos are awesome. But don’t hate on banana chips, bro. They’re sweet, plus they have, like, mad potassium. Plus, who ever told him to drink ketchup? That’s just bad parenting.

Russian Dash Cams Sometimes Capture the Good in Humanity, See?

Josh Wolford — Fri, 03 May 2013 16:37:40 +0000

Russia’s numerous highways and byways have a reputation of being full of crazy stuff. Much of the reputation is perpetuated by the omnipresent Russian dash cam, which seems to be attached to about every single automobile in Russia. Search YouTube for Russian dash cam, you’ll see what I mean.

But it’s not all explosions, crashes and such on Russian roads. Good stuff is happening too, as this beautiful compilation proves. Sure, there’s still a lot of crazy stuff happening, even when we see a good samaritan helping out his fellow man – but this is better than most of those videos you’ve seen, right?

Bohemian Rhapsody in Blue Is Predictably Awesome

Josh Wolford — Fri, 03 May 2013 15:53:21 +0000

Two of the greatest compositions ever written, George Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue and Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody, apparently share a lot more that the word “rhapsody.” As YouTuber Scott Bradlee shows, they’re a real killer when you mash them up.

Simply beautiful:

The Walking Dead Gets a Bad Lip Reading

Josh Wolford — Fri, 03 May 2013 13:58:05 +0000

The latest installment of the always superb Bad Lip Reading takes on AMC’s hit zombie series The Walking Dead. Er…walkers, not zombies.

Anyway, it proves something I’ve been saying all along. This show would be so much better if the ~~zombies~~ walkers could talk. Seriously, just think about it. How hilarious/creepy would it be if mid-intestinal-foraging, one of the ~~zombies~~ walkers just looked up and said something. Anything. And then went back to munching on flesh. Good thing we have BLR to finally give the dead some dialogue. And before you ask, yes, Andrea is just as annoying as always in this clip.

PBS Avengers Assemble to Watch the World Learn

Josh Wolford — Thu, 02 May 2013 20:32:12 +0000

There’s a lot of crap television out there, but I’m sure you know that. Hell, you probably watch some of it. I know I’m guilty.

But there’s always room for the good stuff. The stuff that opens our eyes to the wonders of the world, and in the process makes us more human. To combat the decline into brain-melting mush, the PBS dream team of Bill Nye, Mr. Rogers, Carl Sagan, and Bob Ross assemble, Avengers style:

Crappy Stock Photography Gets the Anthem It Deserves

Josh Wolford — Thu, 02 May 2013 14:56:57 +0000

In my job and many jobs like it, stock photography is one of those necessary evils. Sure, the images are corny and contrived, but sometimes you just gotta use them.

Often, we will spend time browsing stock photo services, simply looking for the most ridiculous images available. Seriously, if you have access to any stock photo service, it’s worth your time. See how many dude-in-a-suit-with-his-legs-propped-up-on-his-desk-talking-on-the-phone photos you can find. Then, work your way to photos of women happily eating salad. Be careful, though – it’s a timesuck.

That’s why this song is so hilarious to me. Hopefully, you’ll find it just as funny.

LEGO Breaking Bad Looks Awesome and Hopefully If I Throw Money at My Computer It Will Happen

Josh Wolford — Wed, 01 May 2013 18:56:56 +0000

This is a no brainer, people-who-have-any-say-on-whether-or-not-this-ever-gets-made. Honestly, short of Bioshock: Baltimore starring Bunk and McNulty, I can’t even imagine a game that I would buy any quicker. Half Life 3?

In all seriousness, this is way cool. Love those LEGO games, love Breaking Bad even more. I totally want to control little LEGO Mike Ehrmantraut. Damn, now I really want to play something that doesn’t exist…yet.

“I have no affiliation with Traveller’s Tales, LEGO, or AMC. I’m just a huge fan of the stuff they make. But seriously, if they all got together and made this game, for real, I’d buy it and play the crap out of it,” says creator Brian Anderson.

Hell yeah, Who wouldn’t?
