Video of the Day: Pan to the head

by Mike Barish on

This video is baffling. It’s a group of Brits on a camping trip, yet it appears as if they have just set up camp in someone’s backyard (isn’t that a house behind the fence?). Why is that guy hitting the other guy in the head with a pan? What’s the deal with that second fence made of fabric? We might have more questions than answers, but summer is for camping trips and camping trips are for drunken hijinks*.

So, let’s not spend too much time figuring out what the hell is going on here and simply enjoy the fact that there’s more to life than videos of people at Renaissance fairs getting hit in the crotch.

Photo of the day – Statue of Liberty

by Alex Robertson Textor on

The Statue of Liberty is beyond iconic. It’s the sort of place that most visitors to New York seek to visit, even if they’re not sure why, the sort of place with a symbolic and cultural reach that goes well beyond your average top tourist attraction. Today’s beautifully realist Photo of the Day, by Flickr user jwannie, depicts the Statue of Liberty as many visitors might encounter it, framed by a boat window.

Photo of the Day – Alberta sky

by Alex Robertson Textor on

The Alberta sky is legendary. It’s big and bold and overwhelms the horizon. This photo, taken by Flickr user Chris Maki on the Stoney Indian Reserve, depicts the Alberta sky in all its glory. The cute church in the foreground is the McDougall Stoney Mission Church, built in 1875. It may not be the star of this show, but it certainly punctuates the sky awfully nicely.

Video of the Day: Attack of the Blob

by Mike Barish on

Blobs are awesome. They’re big inflatable masses that you can use to launch people dozens of feet into the air and back down into the water. And, according to this video, the Blob has taken its aquatic mayhem to France, where these people were using it in Cergy. As summer heats up and we all look for ways to cool off (at least in the Northern Hemisphere), you can’t go wrong with the Blob. Unless, of course, you land as awkwardly as the person in this video. I imagine they might have enjoyed cooling off with a cold beverage rather than face-planting into this lake.

Stay cool out there!
