Video of the Day: The Message
A friend and I are playing JukeTube, trading favorite vids from years gone by. Seems like a blogworthy game. Can’t pass up this classic:

TV Quote of the Night
Actually, it’s not from tonight, it’s from the last episode of My Name Is Earl, which I TiVoed.
I can’t believe Earl tried to kill me. Earl wouldn’t try to kill me. I’m Randy. That would be like peanut butter trying to kill jelly. Peanut butter wouldn’t kill jelly. We’re in the same sandwich!

Evel Knievel, R.I.P.
I just heard the news that Evel Knievel just died. Needless to say, I was a major fan as a kid. I love that in this article, he left a death-bed message urging his fans to “chase their dreams and get up if they fail.” Spoken by a man who has been there.
Here are two of his classic wipe-outs.
Ouchie. A man who can get up after those failures is indeed bad to the bone. Bad also in the sense of his jumping technique. My friend was telling me about a BBC video he saw but now can’t find online where modern motorcycle jumping experts commented that Evel was in fact a terrible jumper, with atrocious technique, which one might conclude had something to do with his many spectacular crashes. Obviously, I am no motorcycle jumping expert myself, but in those two videos above you can see the point. First of all, he’s jumping with cruiser-style bikes, Triumphs and American Eagles. Even back in his day, there must have been lighter bikes more suited to his purposes. Also, check out how he’s just sitting on the bike as he flies through the air. It’s like he’s just ambling down the highway. Classic. A true Amerikan hero.

In addition to loving my wife a whole lot, I woke up this morning and realized I am also in love with Nelly McKay.
