It’s the big hot dog eating contest today at Coney Island.

Okay, so gas prices suck and so does the economy, but man, it’s summer time and it’s the 4th of July holiday. Quick, what food do you think of for July 4th and summer and grilling and outdoor eating? Hot dogs! So it’s only appropriate that the annual hot dog eating contest takes place on this day at Coney Island!

Yes, we have a winner: Joey Chestnut, after downing 64 hot dogs in 10 minutes… well, actually, it was 59 hot dogs in 10 minutes but so did runner up Takeru Kobayashi. So, the guys had to have a tie-breaker, an “eat off” of another five franks. That’s when Joey Chestnut took home the gold!

Richard Shea, one of the founders of the International Federation of Competitive Eating, said it was the first time in his memory the contest went into overtime.

Wanna see a hilariously funny video clip of a hot dog eating contest from the uber-popular TV show Grey’s Anatomy? Here ya go…

Yeah, it ain’t the hot dog eating contest at Coney Island, but it sure is a funny video clip!

Cocky street magician performs a card trick that goes very wrong.

A street magician performing a card trick on a city street in England acts like a madman after the trick goes badly wrong. What’s funny initially is that he’s all calm and cocky and smug, as if he can do no wrong. But at the climax of the trick, the very point at which the card selected by the spectator is to be revealed, the magician puts his tail between his legs and runs off like a maniac because of the unexpected outcome. What’s more, he didn’t even pick the card correctly! Hah!

Watch this funny video clip for the hilarious surprise ending!

This is a card trick that goes wrong on so many levels!

Alright men, here’s your workout guide - do it or not depending on what your woman says!

In this funny video clip, you get a hilarious commercial from Gold’s Gym. You can’t tell if you should be working out or not, especially if you’re aim is to please the ladies (or that one special lady in your life). Hey, I’m a guy, and I workout and get my supplements and protein drink mixes from BodyBuilding.com, but I should check in with my wife to see if I’m on the right track! I’m no bodybuilder by any stretch, but over the years I added close to 50 lbs of muscle to my otherwise lean frame. It really shaped my body nicely and now I workout just to maintain the muscle mass I have.

I developed my own workout guide and have all the equipment I need at home (so no Gold’s Gym membership for me). I like this funny commercial though with all the women discussing what they like in guy who does workout, and in guys that do not workout (I can’t believe they’re serious though!).

Now that’s a funny video clip that gives some interesting pointers for the start of a men’s workout guide.

Hyperthymestic syndrome is the extremely rare ability to remember every little detail of past life events.

Only about three people in the world have hyperthymestic syndrome. Hyperthymestic comes from the Greek words that mean “excessive remembering”.

One such guy who has this amazing ability is Brad Williams of La Crosse, Wisc. Throw any date at him and he can gush almost endlessly about what he did and what events took place in the world that day.

Williams is the current subject of study by memory researchers who want to better understand how human memory works, while also looking for insights into memory loss and how it might be prevented. A man in Ohio and a woman in California are the other two in the study who also have hyperthymestic syndrome.

By contrast, the guy in the funny video clip below definitely does NOT have this ability. His memory is pretty poor except when it comes to Maple Leaf roast beef! With beef he shows no evidence of memory loss!

My guess is that Brad Willliams who can boast he has hyperthymestic syndrome would have no problem telling us which dates he ate roast beef.

20 Jobs That Pay at Least $20 an Hour

Saw this on MSN here. In 2006, the median household salary in the US was about $48,000 per year. That translates to roughly $23/hour for a 40-hour work week. So, if you’re interested in being average or slightly above average in terms of income, you need a job that pays around $20 - $30 per hour. Here’s a list of 20 such jobs:

1. Gaming supervisors
2. Health educators
3. Subway and streetcar operators
4. Respiratory therapists
5. Curators
6. Cartographers and photogrammetrists
7. Multimedia artists and animators
8. Arbitrators, mediators and reconcilers
9. Urban and regional planners
10. Loan officers
11. Clergy
12. Gas pumping station operators
13. Electricians
14. Dietitians and nutritionists
15. Appraisers of real estate
16. Editors
17. Public relations specialists
18. Zoologists and wildlife biologists
19. Food scientists
20. Detectives and criminal investigators

That said, here’s a great funny video clip photo montage of a variety of different animals doing different jobs. It’s pretty funny! Try to guess what each animal does before the text appears telling what it’s doing. Love the “wolf in sheep’s clothing” at the end. Priceless!

I think several of these animals are doing $20/hour jobs, wouldn’t you say?

Okay, you had your fun watching this funny video clip, now get back to work! The labor department is predicting healthy growth for each of the 20 jobs paying $20 an hour listed above.

A funny video clip that shows you one way to get a butt workout.

There is an entire industry devoted to helping folks make their butt, thighs, and legs more, shall we say, desirable, with a variety of workouts.

You don’t even need an expensive gym membership or pricey workout equipment to work your glutes. Truth is, even walking can be a really effective exercise to help work your trouble spots back there. Learn more about that here.

(DISCLAIMER: This is NOT real fitness/exercise advice! Please consult your physician and/or certified fitness trainer for expert information on what exercises you should do and how to do them properly. Thank you!)

Further, as you can see from the video clip below, if you’re sufficiently endowed in the rear, you already have all the equipment you need to work your butt! Sit, stretch your legs out to the sides as far as you can go, and lift one cheek, then the other, then the other, and so on.

Looks effective. But man, it sure is funny to watch in this setting.

So, get on the floor, get on your butt, and do that workout!

A hilarious pool prank!

Ahh, with spring well underway and summer right around the corner, thoughts turn to time in the pool to cool off during lazy hot days!

But beware: If you’re in the pool, be mindful and watchful of those who lurk outside the pool! See what I mean in this hilariously funny video clip!

Of course, the guy standing outside of the pool is not really peeing in the pool, on the swimmers and their floats (see the water tank on his back?)! But they don’t know that! I like how the guy at the end of the video gets out of the water, angry as hell, and goes after the guy who’s happily squirting! Too funny!

Today is Boston Marathon 2008 day.

The 112th running of the Boston Marathon running race is today, April 21, 2008. The city of Boston, Massachusetts sponsors this race every year on the third Monday of April, which is also the Patriots’ Day holiday. Participants, both male and female, come from all over the world and range in experience from rank beginners to seasoned professional runners. The start time is around 12 noon EDT.

The length of the course is 26.22 miles, with the marathon route stretching from Hopkinton to the center of Boston. This course is considered one of the most difficult in the world, primarily because of the hills in Newton, Mass. The final one of these hills is known as Heartbreak Hill, which occurs in mile 20 and challenges the runners with a 1/2-mile climb.

You can get a complete Boston Marathon course map here.

Bottom line if you want to compete: First you must qualify. And before that, you need to get into shape with the proper training well in advance of race day.

It’s grueling work, but it can be rewarding. Check out this funny video clip of two guys doing their own unique brand of training for the marathon. It’s pretty funny, but I don’t think we’ll see them on the leader board today (which you can see in real time here).

Okay - enough of the funny stuff! This race and course is serious business. Have a great Patriots’ Day and enjoy the Boston Marathon 2008 edition.

The smart dog in this funny video clip figures out a way to get a ball from a swimming pool without going in the water.

Most dogs seem to love water (all the dogs I’ve ever have sure do!). And many dogs love chasing and retrieving things (toys, shoes, balls, etc.). So, you’d think that if you toss a ball in a swimming pool (in-ground or deck-level), an energetic playful dog would simply run to the pool, jump in the water, and go swimming for the ball.

But not the dog in this video!

Watch as he carefully and quickly creates a plan to use all the available resources to get to the ball in the pool without actually having to go in the water. Can you blame him though for not wanting to go in? Look at the water - murky and pond-like! It’s bad even for a dog! This pool owner is in dire need of some good swimming pool supplies to get that pool back in tip-top shape!

Here’s the video clip… watch and marvel at this dog’s ingenuity.

These kinds of videos are popular on this site; I’ll be sure to keep posting funny dog video clips!

I’ve reached a breaking point: It’s time to remodel my bathroom. It’s old, outdated, dull, dreary, and lifeless. And that’s a far cry from what any respectable bathroom needs to be: A haven, a peaceful sanctuary, a place where you can get away from it all by yourself at any time of day, just to be alone, to read, meditate (yes, on the can!), ponder, think. Heck, I even go in with my laptop to do work, surf the Internet, and get caught up on my email.

But back to my specific situation with my bathroom remodel… See, spring is in the air, meaning it’s time once again to take a critical look at the house: The kitchen, bathroom, living room, family room, the basement, the garage, the yard. Spring time refreshes the soul, and spring cleaning refreshes the house!

Since spring is a season of renewal, growth, and change, I look at my house with a more critical eye during this time of year: What can I change to rejuvenate it, improve it, freshen it?

For me this year, it’s time to remodel my bathroom. It’s been on my “house to-do list” for a couple of years now, but I’ve finally reached a point of “no return” with this room. Every time I go even look at (let alone go in) the master bathroom, it makes me sick! Ugh! That bathroom needs to be remodeled.

If you’re planning to remodel your bathroom this spring, do what I’m gonna do and begin your research online to come up with ideas for bathroom plans, features, ideas, and budget considerations.

But here’s another important tip: In addition to planning what I’m going to do when I remodel my bathroom, I’m also paying special attention to what I’m not going to do.

It’s all covered in this funny video clip featuring good ol’ Earl Feedin. Watch as he shows how to install a microwave in the bathroom. He feels you need something in the bathroom for fast eating while taking care of past eating! When I remodel my bathroom, I won’t be going this route for sure… bringing the laptop in with me is enough for me!
