THE BUMRUSH

From PR inside:

The 'Baywatch' star, nicknamed The Hoff, turned up intoxicated to London's Heathrow airport at 7am yesterday, and then continued to knock back drinks in British Airways' first class lounge as he waited to board his 9.55am flight to Los Angeles.

Fucken Hasselhoff. And honestly, this is the first time in my life that I've heard that he's nicknamed "the Hoff'. Maybe only in Europe. What is the best part of the article? I'm glad you asked. This sentence, clearly takes the cake:

Onlookers were even more horrified when a dark wet patch appeared around the actor's groin area.

Fucken Hasselhoff.

A set of unrelated activities brought me down a twisted path to the video below. It is clearly the best display of juggling ever witnessed by humans. Fuck clowns, this is what juggling is about.

Four interesting things to note about this video.

1. This was apparently part of a Fatboy Slim contest to make a video for his song, “That Old pair of Jeans”. I don’t know why all the videos had to be about juggling. Maybe someone could fill me in. I tried going to the Fatboy site, but the splash page was just to disturbing to continue.

2. Shockingly, this video DID NOT win the contest. The winner was from a professional juggler by the name of Chris Bliss. This has lead to quite the uproar (at least on the Youtube message boards). Depending on whom you believe, Bliss is an incompetent, one-note bastard hackjob or he’s entertaining and his video fits the song better. His version is on Youtube as well, if you are interested in seeing it. Personally, I thought it sucked (although the intro was hilariously cheesy). He juggles like he’s having a seizure. This site explains the crap that is Bliss in more detail.

3. There are also a lot of other video entries for this contest on Youtube, if you are in the need of a way to waste half a day. Some are technically good and really gay and others just suck.

4. I got sick of the song way before the juggling. Be warned. It will stick in your head badly.

In my haste to put up the last post, I forgot to put up the required Hasselhoff picture with the post. Let's face it - every Hasselhoff reference must by accompanied by a picture. It's one of the rules of the Internet. Put up a pic of Hasselhoff or he'll kick the shit out of you and then cry like a baby. I love my life, so Hasselhoff wants me to put up a little something for the ladies:


Oh fucking god that's horrible. I'm so sorry. I'll make it up with this picture.




Oh shit, that's even worse. What the hell is he doing to those puppies. Someone call PETA. Ok, I'm serious this time. Here's a good one, in the spirit of the best album covers post.



Much better. I'm a night rocker too.

David Hasselhoff had surgery after severing a tendon in his right arm in an accident in a London gym bathroom, his spokeswoman said.

Hasselhoff, 53, who played lifeguard Mitch Buchannon on the TV beach drama "Baywatch" for 11 years, was shaving at a gym in the Sanderson Hotel on Thursday when he hit his head on a chandelier, showering his arm with broken glass, his publicist, Judy Katz, said Friday.

Doctors operated to repair the injury and Hasselhoff spent one night at St. Thomas' Hospital in London, Katz said.

The recent Van Damme post, coupled with a YouTube shoutout from Bill 'The Sportsguy" Simmons of ESPN.com fame, jogged my memmory of this little ditty from the great epic, KickBoxer. Yes, let's watch Van Damme dance. My favorite part is how he goes from acting drunk, to not drunk, to drunk again. Only Jean Claude can pull that shit off.

Came across a fat-ass rumor today. According to slick site, AICN, it looks like BUMRUSH favorite, Jean Claude Van Damme, has signed on as the main villain in "Rush Hour 3". Putting aside the fact that why in the hell does the world need Rush Hour 3, this is clearly a good move for jean Claude's career... AKA his lonely path of straight to video self-destruction. I mean, it's about 10 years too late of a move, but a good movie nonetheless. Really - Jean Claude getting the shit kicked out of him - who loses? no one loses.

It makes me feel like a kid again when I come across something completely new on the Internet. Something I'd never though of before, but is such a good idea that I could spend hours there. That feeling of discovery makes life worth living. In that vien, I present the Museum of Bad Album Covers, from ZonicWeb.net.

These are clearly the worst album covers of all time. A sampling of the Museum:
