Never even heard of this guy until someone posted a vid of him last week. He's funny.

An Alabama Negro in Queen Fry's Court

I don't know what you mean but he's from Georgia


He meant to say "Albany Negro".

Anyway, just watched that whole show, and by the time he got to the Sex and the City 2 stuff he was in my top 3 favorite stand ups. The final bit about his father though pushed him straight to number one.

What the hell is a banana tree? Bananas don't grow on trees.

I can appreciate a good ponytail when I see one, but damn that guy has an annoying laugh.

Great documentary though, thumbs up!

You have to have unbelievable reaction times to race F1 cars. I'd imagine regular slow life must be pretty boring to these super humans.

One common thing I've noticed when reading interviews is that they tend to drive really boring cars. When you're used to driving at those speeds every road legal car will feel boring no matter what, so you might as well be practical.


But yeah, those things are simply astoundingly fast. Even in simulators you first think you're going fast driving a stock car, then you try a GT car and the stock ones feel like they're standing still, and then you jump in an F1 and GT cars feel just as slow. And in reality the differences are even bigger. The fastest lap in the 2010 GT1 race at Spa was 2:17.605 (qualifying time). Same year Mark Webber managed 1:45.778 in his Red Bull. Same layout. Over half a minute over 4.352 miles, the F1 car would lap the GT car every four and a half laps or so.

Sounds a lot like the Tron soundtrack.

Tron soundtrack was by Daft Punk, wasn't it?

Sorry to be the one to tell you that you seem to know even less about the world than you thought: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/True_Finns#Parliamentary_election_2011

If this were to happen in Finland or something, THEN I'd say "wow wow and double wow." But, to quote the parking garage attendant from Ferris Bueller's Day Off, what country do you think this is?



We'll see how much they'll affect things in the long run. Granted there are some blatant racists in there, and especially in their voters, but at least on surface the party seems to criticize the current way the government handles immigration, rather than trying to outright ban people from entering. Depending on how much and in what ways they want to revise things could either turn out horrible or be the best thing to happen in Finnish politics for a long time. We'll see.

you can't say that it fires at a rate of 960 rounds per second when you have such a short supply of ammo...that's like saying that I can have sex 6 times a minute when we know I'm done for good after 10 seconds...

That's exactly how the firing rate of every automatic gun is stated. See Metal Storm for example (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8hlj4EbdsE). The video finishes of with a 1 000 000 rounds per minute demonstration, even though it only shoots 180 rounds.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology.

What else could you say?

>> ^Yogi:

That's a 10k...that makes sense you have a LOT of time and you can make it up if you put in an incredible performance. 600 meters is not very far, so making up the distance in that short amount of space and time you have is ridiculous. The only excuse is that they're not really at the top of their game...they rabbited themselves out at the beginning or something.
Very true, though he also caught up in under 150 meters (and made a new world record). Of course doing it in a sprint is much more impressive, but this video did bring back memories from those races.

great running, I have vivid memories of an Olympic event - 10km track I think, and a Kenyan runner tripped over and lost like 50m to the pack - he literally went nuts and within a lap had sprinted to the front of the pack again - adrenaline ftw.
Lasse Virén also pulled off something very similar in the 10k @ 1972 Olympics.

You people are really focused on the presentation and not on the boobs. For shame.

I like to think that my imagination is as good as the next persons, but three concentric discs in different colors and diameters just doesn't do it for me.

Dammit, I want to upvote this at least a 100 times...

Granted on a highway that'd be suicidal and stupid. Just curious about the situation abroad since we do indeed have such a law. A piece of 2-by-4 on a blind corner is murder for bikers.

Isn't there a law that requires anyone who sees such an object on the road to stop and throw it aside?
