| One Coin In The Fountain: Jonah Goldberg Breaks Establishment Embargo On WeinerGate »
May 29, 2011
Overnight Open Thread - Holiday Weekend EditionWelcome to virtual Saturday. And don't forget that tomorrow is the official Infamous Memorial Day ONT memorial. Which I will no doubt regret having. Morons of a certain age will well remember the Agony of Defeat guy during ABC's Wide World of Sports intro. Well here Lileks reminisces and does a little research: It turns out his name is Vinko Bogataj and his crash was from a 1970 skiing competition in West Germany. Midway down the ramp for that jump, Bogataj realized that the conditions had made the ramp too fast. He attempted to lower his center of gravity and stop his jump, but instead lost his balance completely and rocketed out of control off the end of the ramp, tumbling and flipping wildly, and crashing through a light retaining fence near a crowd of stunned spectators before coming to a halt.After he retired from skiing he became a coach, and a painter, and a forklift driver. And, thanks to the weekly viewing of his wipeout, a celebrity: Meanwhile, having retired to his quiet, private life in Slovenia, Vinko Bogataj was unaware of his celebrity, and so was quite confused to be asked to attend the 20th anniversary celebration for Wide World of Sports in 1981. He was stunned when other, more famous athletes present, such as Muhammad Ali, asked him for his autograph Weiner-gate Update: Not Just A Boobie Man ![]() "Women Don't Lie" I am now appalled to think that I was one of these women who thought that women don’t lie…and where there smoke there’s always a fire. Despite having raised a beautiful son, I was a sexist. Then I started doing research. There have been studies done since the 80s citing the percentage of rape allegations that are false. Some studies say as high as 60%. People who have been dealing with this for years have tried to tell us that women do lie. But we haven’t wanted to hear.So do children. And all humans. How did people brainwash themselves and society that entire groups of humans are somehow exempt from well human behavior? ![]() 5 Things Nobody Tells You About Being Poor ![]() Monsterpiece Theater Presents "Twin Beaks" PR Guru: Arnold Schwarzenegger ‘Will Not Be Back’ “America right now is a very cynical place and for good reason,” Levine told me. “Arnold Schwarzenegger has gifted America with another reason to be cynical. By the way, societies that are profoundly cynical are not healthy societies.”Given that his leading man roles are mostly behind him it's unclear where Arnold will go next. Rom-coms would normally be a good choice except that he's also currently radioactive to women. ![]() New Elevators Sort Users by Rank The elevators at the 13-story Curtis Center in downtown Philadelphia, are built so the most senior executives can punch into the computer that they would like to see certain employees upon arrival. When employees swipe their ID cards to call the elevator in the lobby, they can be rerouted to the boss’s floor. Japan Perfects the Canned Beer? 7 Rules To Avoid Getting Bed Bugs When You Travel Luckily, after doing lots of research on how to proceed, I didn’t—wonderful, since the average person spends $4,000 treating their home for bed bugs. But in talking to others, I’ve found many who were not as lucky. This whole experience has made me a much more cautious traveler, and so I wanted to pass on all my learnings to you.These are all probably good ideas but after reading them you'll never want to sleep in a hotel bed ever again. Or you could make your own DDT. ![]() Women Really Do Love the Silent, Brooding Type ![]() Weekly AoSHQ Commenter Standings Top 10 sockpuppeteers: The group. Yeah.
