Dangerous, Dirty, and Unfun

I don’t want to say that I’m a lazy blogger, but I don’t know how to finish this sentence.

# Welp, humanity, we had a good run. Maybe it’s time to give the roaches a go of it.

# I don’t know the parameters of this contest, so maybe it makes a lot of sense that the lamest joke I’ve ever heard is the best joke in England. Is it bad that I groaned at all of the winners, but legitimately laughed out loud at the crackling gag?

# Here’s a rare interview with Jesse Lacey, lead singer of Brand New and crafter of lyrical miracles.

# My jaw almost hit the floor when I read this: the WWE is thinking of creating a channel to broadcast their classic matches and pay-per-views. I’m giddy with anticipation. Youtube is great, but this is the sort of thing that needs to be seen on my 57 inch TV. (h/t to the Sports Guy.)

I was watching Sportscenter this morning, and I watched this Outside the Lines bit about these two high school wrestlers from Ohio: one lost his legs in a horrific railroad accident, the other is legally blind. These inspiring ESPN stories are often heavy on the saccharine, higher-meaning-of-sports schmaltz, to the point of being unwatchable.

Not this one. It’s a really awesome story, which I recommend you watch in its entirety. Let’s just say that it got a little dusty in your favorite blogger’s living room toward the end.
