Big Fish, Small Pole

This insane fishing clip was emailed to me by a friend, Mark Nicosia. Watch Captain Noddy deliver a yellow-finned beast with nothing but a cane pole. Insanity!

(Warning: Contains some bad language.)

Big Yellowfin Tuna on bamboo - Ascension Island 2010 from Morten Svendsen on Vimeo.

During a recent flyfishing trip to Ascension Island, Local Captain "Noddy" sees a big fish responding to the chum and decides to use his bamboo pole. I hook a nice Tuna on my fly rod, and shortly after Noddy and Paulie lands the biggest Tuna I've ever seen.. on a bamboo pole... Weighed in at the pier at 275lb. Enjoy..

Tumor

This is pretty sick. The tumor resembles a turkey without legs or wings.

I say deep-fry it.

Doctors Remove World's Largest Tumour From Patient's Womb

DOCTORS in Argentina have removed what they think is the world's largest malignant tumour from the body of a 54-year-old woman.

Weighing a shocking 23kg, the tumour had been growing inside the woman's womb for a year-and-a-half and took four hours to remove, The Daily Mail reported.

Oscar Lopez, surgical coordinator at Gandulfo hospital in Lomas de Zamora, on the outskirts of Buenos Aires, said: "I've never seen anything like it in my 34 years of medical service.

"We removed a tumour whose weight is comparable to that of a four-year-old child.

"In layman's terms, it was as if this woman had been pregnant with quintuplets."

Tumours of the type removed from the woman usually weigh no more than 3kg.

My Favorite Democrat

This guy has got to be my favorite Democrat in any of the upcoming races. Chris Young is running for Mayor of Providence, Rhode Island.

Video Clip--Back To School

I'll be teaching US History this year for the first time in over a decade. I am using this clip of Professor Turgesson (Sam Kinison) for inspiration. Have a great school year and enjoy the clip:

Taste Test: KFC's New Skinwich

Brain Residue is taste testing Kentucky Fried Chicken's new sandwich: The Skinwich.

5 layers of fried chicken skin, lumped on a bun and topped with white American cheese and bacon. It’s only available at a handful of KFC's (for now).

Brain Residues verdict:

Nasty. The richness of all that fatty seasoned skin is totally overwhelming. It’s also tongue-parchingly-salty.

I started to gag and got that “brushing the back of your tongue” feeling. Had to spit it out. In KFC’s defense, the sandwich was luke-warm after taking the pics. But I doubt it would be much better hot.

With this latest move and the Double Down‘s success, KFC may be catching up to Hardees/BK in the “making sandwiches so nauseating they generate buzz” dept.

I think I will pass on this one.

Dem Candidates Pulling The Steven Slater Move

With election 2010 approaching and Obama's approval rating continuing to fall, vulnerable Democrats are fleeing our Commander-In-Chief as if he had the plague.

This campaign ad is well-done:

Chrysler's Gun Toting Pickup Truck

I am not sure I would make a truck buying decision based on this accessory--but it still is pretty neat.

Chrysler's Gun-Toting Pickup Truck

Chrysler's Ram truck division is taking direct aim at hunters with a unique feature on its new line of Outdoorsman pickup trucks - a gun closet.

Called the The Mopar RamBox Holster, its a rack that can hold two rifles or shotguns inside one of the lockable, watertight compartments located on either side of the pickup bed.

A $205 option - on top of the $1895 price of the RamBox feature itself - the rack can be rotated to hold six fishing poles for those who prefer quieter trips into the great outdoors.

The Outdoorsman starts at $28,350 and includes standard features like scratch-resistant bumpers, puncture-resistant tires, and a towing package. Buyers can order the trimline on most Ram models, including heavy duty and long wheelbase versions.

Video: The Great Reneger

All of the Obama-hatin' country music folks will like this video. Without a doubt, Obama's promises of transparency, bi-partisanship, and fiscal responsibility must be disappointing to those who were naive enough to believe and vote for him.

Believe it or not, even though I did not vote for BHO, I liked some things I heard him say in some of his campaign speeches. Obviously, the things he said that appealed to me were put in his speeches to appeal to independent voters who were critical to his election. In retrospect, Bill Clinton was correct when he described Obama as simply a typical, crooked Chicago-style politician.

Marco Rubio Responds to Knucklehead Harry Reid's Racist Politics

Without a doubt Senate Majority Leader Reid is a knucklehead. I live in a community which is majority Hispanic. Many, many Hispanics are conservative. Harry Reid's comments show how low the Dems will go to keep their control in DC.

Watch Marco Rubio, Republican senatorial candidate from Florida, respond to Harry Reid's racist politics. Hopefully, one day soon, Rubio will be the Senate Majority Leader. Rubio is right on at many levels:

I Want McNuggets!!!

It seems like everyone wants to act all hard these days.

Check out this nut going psycho because she wanted Chicken McNuggets and could not get them during breakfast hours. Crystal meth must give you hard core munchies.

Hat tip to www.therightscoop.com

A woman in Toledo, Ohio has been indicted for vandalism after going into a rage at a McDonald’s drive up window when employees refused to sell her McNuggets because it was breakfast time (no sound, but you don’t really need it):

She should have waited for the 50 piece Friday night special. McNuggets are good--especially with the sweet-and-sour sauce--but they aren't worth getting arrested over.

Alcoholism At Its Finest

Ahh, weekends in Corpus Christi. I guess this would classify as a "bottoming out" experience.

Woman Stops To Relieve Self, Falls Off JFK Causeway, Corpus Christi Police Say: Husband Flags Down Police To Help After 15-foot Fall

CORPUS CHRISTI — A 42-year-old woman was taken to the hospital Thursday after falling off the JFK Causeway during a bathroom break, Corpus Christi police said.

An officer driving east on the causeway about 1:18 a.m. saw a man frantically pacing next to a car parked on the westbound side of the road.

The 52-year-old man said his 42-year-old wife had fallen more than 15 feet off the side of the bridge.

The man told police his wife had been drinking and asked that he pull the car over so she could relieve herself.

The woman climbed over the railing and fell onto some rocks, landing in about four inches of water, police said.

Officers climbed down to assist the woman and found her unresponsive.

Emergency responders brought the woman back up onto the road using a backboard and a long extension ladder.

She was taken to Christus Spohn Hospital Memorial for injuries that were not life-threatening, police said.

Safe Sex: An Alternative

(Above: Eddie and his girlfriend)

I am not sure what to say about this one:

Man Caught with Pants Down and an Armless Mannequin in Public Park

KANAWHA COUNTY, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- A man is behind bars for committing "lewd acts" with a mannequin in a public park Sunday morning.

According to the Kanawha County Sheriff's Department, 61-year-old Eddie M. Campbell from Belle was caught at Booker T. Washington Memorial Park in Malden with his shirt off and his pants around his ankles.

Deputies say Campbell was sitting on a park bench with an armless mannequin on his lap, holding it with one hand -- pleasuring himself with the other.

When the deputy identified himself, Campbell stopped, pushed the mannequin off him and pulled his pants up.

All of this happened in a residential area and close to a church, according to Deputies.

Campbell has been charged with indecent exposure. He gave up his right to have an attorney represent him during arraignment

Campbell is in the South Central Jail on a $2,500 cash only bond.

Look on the bright side: At least there was not another human being (like a child) involved. Sick! Sick! Sick!

Back To School

This is cool:

The yellow American-style school bus has been fitted with a jet engine from a Phantom fighter plane, allowing it to reach up to 367mph.

Paul Stender and his team from Indy Boys Inc, based in Indianapolis, USA adapted the bus which uses a full tank of 150 gallons of fuel in just one quarter-mile. Mr Stender's creation, which he has dubbed 'The School Time Jet-Powered School Bus', also fires out 80 foot flames from the back creating massive clouds of smoke.

Mr Stender, 43, said: "I built the bus for two reasons. The first is to entertain people because, come on, it's a jet bus.

"The second, is to keep kids off drugs. Jets are hot, drugs are not.

"The entire vehicle was custom built by myself. There's no way the original bus could have withstood the speeds that I take it to.

Your Poop Is Unique: Gut Viruses Different in Every Person

By LiveScience Staff

Like a fingerprint, the virus communities in the human gut are unique to each individual. Even identical twins have very different collections of viruses colonizing their lower intestines.

This is in contrast to bacterial communities, which are similar in related individuals, the researchers say. (While bacteria can live and reproduce on their own, viruses consist of genetic material packaged inside a capsule structure and can only reproduce inside a host.)

The study sheds light on the largely unexplored world of viruses living in the lower intestine. Most of these "friendly" viruses, which don't cause diseases, make their home inside bacteria already living in the gut. These viruses are thought to influence the activities of gut microbes, which among their other benefits, allow us to digest certain components of our diets, such as plant-based carbohydrates, that we can't digest on our own.

Out Of Control Liberals

Remember when liberals use to use slogans like "Don't trust the government" and "Don't trust anyone over the age of 30"? Well, it is obvious that the liberals don't only love big government, they, in fact, worship big government.

Get a barf bag and watch this clip.
