Japanese Soccer Team vs 100 Kids
Frankly, I’m surprised the ball could even move around on the field with over 110 people running all over it. And the pros were obviously taking it pretty easy becasue I’m sure they could have knocked one of these kids out if they took a hard shot.

I was sitting around being lazy, and taking my sweet time to do it mind you, when I decided to check out some folks who do things a little quicker than me. In fact, I decided to find the fastest people I could, who were doing just about anything that people actually do fast!
So, we’ve got everything from talking to shooting to playing musical instruments! And I guarantee that no one out there reading this can beat these people at their game. Well, if you can let me know and I’ll come video you doing it! I’d love to be there with the records are broken.

I was entertaining myself for hours this evening while perusing all of the crazy ways man has invented to move himself from point A to point B. After we mastered the most efficient methodology, apparently we turned our attention and energy towards also creating the most inefficient methods possible.
Why would we do this? Well, beyond the very basic primal need for horsepower… I’m guessing there was either a bet or a dare behind most of these creations. Either that, or they built em to attract the chicks!

For those of you who don’t know me I have been learning Japanese for a while now. I had a hard time finding a good Japanese tutor in Texas, so out to the net I went where I became muddled in the time waster known as youtube.com and found Koichi who has some hilarious English and Japanese vblogs about learning Japanese.
Here is my favorite that I would like to share with you all. This is for native Japanese speakers to understand ‘like a pirate day’ that we geeks enjoy and gives some handy phrases and ways of speaking English in pirate-like ways. Just watch it and you will see how universal humor truly is.

Oshiya, or “pusher”, is an informal Japanese term for a worker who stands on the platform of a railway station during the morning and evening rush hours, and pushes people onto the train. This video is a good example of just how crowded it gets on Japanese trains!
Do you think this could be the reason that groping of women has become such a problem that the Japanese have even experimented with all women trains? After all:
According to a survey conducted in Tokyo last year, nearly 64 percent of Japanese women in their 20s and 30s said they’ve been groped on trains, subways or at transit stations in the city.
This is awesome! I bet you read the title of this post and expected to see some guy from the NBA pull a Michael Jordan and deliver a 10 foot dunk or something. Wrong! It’s a Japanese guy!
Now, I can’t be sure, but I swear this guy is one of the regular contestants on the Ninja Warrior show I watch all the time. If I recall, I think he’s even a Gold medal Olympian gymnast or something.
Anyway he takes about a 20 foot dive off of a freaking trampoline and as he goes hurdling head first towards the basketball hoop he actually slams one home! Of course, the landing doesn’t look very comfortable to me… but I guess it was worth it.

I know that like 10 billion people eat Ramen noodles every day, but I guarantee no one takes the route of preparing them that these folks took on this Japanese game show.
It was apparently a Rube Goldberg competition and they used everything from bowling balls to marbles and included both flames and water. This machine goes on for about 5 minutes and manages to do nothing more than pour some hot water over a package of noodles.
Awesome.

Ok folks… what I’m going to expose you to today can either be considered some of the greatest, or most heinous videos ever created! And yes, they come from our favorite little Pacific island nation, Japan!
Only in Japan could you take something as serious as education and turn it into television shows full of scantily dressed women acting out scenes including diarrhea; and then follow that up with people being beaten for laughing when someone else’s English lessons don’t go so well.

First of all, I don’t speak Japanese. So, I’ve got no idea whatsoever what is being said in this TV show. But what I do know is that the Japanese have absolutely no shame when it comes to pulling pranks and humiliating one another.
I don’t want to let the cat completely out of the bag here, but the title of this post is actually true. Towards the end of this first video I was laughing my ass off…
