Just a Few Funny Things

1. There hasn't been much to cheer about this season at Camden Yards in Baltimore, but this past Monday, the fans got a thrill.

 

That looks like the longest suicide ever, especially without shoes. You really have to like the way he freaked out Juan Rivera too, in addition to the fact that he almost made it back. I used to go TPing a lot in high school, but I really wish I would've jumped onto the field before I turned 18. Speaking of 18 and streakers, most guys were hoping this girl was 18 when she hopped onto the field in Tampa during a March 2008 Under-23 Game between the U.S. and Honduras. She'll turn 27 in October in case you were wondering. Streaker

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 2. Since I'm already talking about taboos, it's recently come out that Dick's Sporting Goods is worried about what reaction they'll get if they put Michael Vick Eagles jerseys on their shelves. It'll probably be fine as long as they don't offer a complimentary lint/fur roller. Or Ron Mexico jerseys.

 

3. Last night, Blue Jays rookie Brett Cecil made a play goofier than Chris Weber's iconic timeout, just with lower stakes. He was walking back to the mound and he had decided that he didn't want to use the ball he currently had in his possession. Cecil then tossed the ball into the Jays' dugout so he could get a new one. The only problem, was the fact that Jason Bay was on first base and Cecil never asked for time. Bay went to second and eventually was awarded third base, once the umpires figured out what was going on. It led to the go ahead run in what was a 1-1 game at the time. Toronto never recovered as they went on to lose 8-1. Here's a video of the play if you want to see for yourself.

 

4. The last topic goes back to the earlier theme of streaking, except it has nothing to do with sports and actually involved full nudity. A man on a Southwest Airlines from Oakland to St. Louis with a stop in Las Vegas went bananas shortly after leaving Oakland. He apparently whipped it out, showing the woman next to him. He then began yelling, popped the woman in the mouth and hit a couple of other nearby passengers. The passengers got him to sit back down for a while, but then he stood back up after having completely removed his clothes. All 6-1, 300 pounds of him were just hanging out there. At this point, the flight started heading back to Oakland where he was eventually arrested, using two sets of handcuffs. Southwest Airlines... You are now free to streak around the cabin.
