A place for everything

I have a friend who acts like this. It's nice to know there's a sport that's as frenetic as he is. (Stick with it to at least :45.)

Also reminds me of some news cycles we've covered.

I remember a while back Rachel explaining what a FRAP is: Frenetic Random Acts of Play (or Frenectic Random Activity Period or Frantic Running And Playing).

but I think this would also cover news cycles.

Is there anything a sport can't be made out of? Remembering where to turn deserves points too... seems more a memory test than anything else. ;-)

Screw Seaworld I wanna be in THEIR splash zone. Nevermind that the water looks like kahlua. :-/ Still fun though.

Amusing to watch, though I admit I kept thinking about how such sports as boat racing and auto racing (not to mention motorcycles, ATVs, snowmobiles and monster trucks) simply use up fossil fuels that might be better conserved. How about racing using only boats converted to run on used cooking oil? Now that's a sport I might enjoy.

Awesome fun... it looks kinda scary though, at least from a spectator viewpoint.. some terrific clips of these things crashing (into the crowd) on youtube.

Those guys standing in the middle are insane! Watching it on youtube was nerve wracking enough.
