Dolphin Bubbles

A friend shared a video of this with me earlier this week but I have finally just had a chance to post something about this. I think these bubbles are pretty cool and definitely a good way for the dolphins to entertain themselves!

Battle at Kruger

This morning I saw a video of an Gator feeding frenzy, which made me think about this video I watched 3 years ago. It is pretty amazing!

The Expendables

OK, back to videos - yesterday I saw a trailer for the Expendables so it made me look for another one today. If this doesn't end up being a really great action movie, I don't know what it will take...



Stallone, Schwarzanegger, Willis, Statham, Li, Rourke, Lundgren etc.

Most Expensive

As I have mentioned in the past, a lot of the posts on the Mullet have become video based so I will have a text post today. There is a picture though!

On a whim, I found a website called Most Expensive and it has a bunch of categories after that. Here is the most expensive production car in the world, the Bugatti Veyron:

Q: How much did the most expensive bicycle in the world sell for?

$75000 - $114000 - $500000

Check out the answer here!

Some of the posts are dated a little bit but here is the most expensive cruise destination, bottles of wine and doghouse!

Fast Mario Win

I saw this video in 2007 and it was so fun, though it is 11 minutes long, that I went and got my old original Nintendo out and started playing some. I had some free time on my hands that year. It is pretty cool to watch and it makes me think about how much "Nintendo Thumb" the person playing this had based on all of their practice and for some of the things in the video they do.

World's Largest Skateboard

OK, I posted the video on the Human Show as well as here. This is about the world's largest skateboard, which is 36 feet, 7 inches long, 9 feet wide and weighs nearly 2 tons!!!

Here is the link to the article I read and the video is below. I will let you read the article for more details and the video is actually pretty cool, with a big wipeout for the rider!

Ketchup Bottle Analogy

OK, this morning I wasn't really thinking of anything for the Mullet of Blogs but I read a brief article about how we are expecting near record high temps for the next few days here in Seattle. I understand the rest of the country is always in a heatwave during the summer and we have been (possibly) misguidedly unhappy with our cool temps so far. Anyway, here is the important part of the post. The writer used an awesome analogy, when I say it is awesome, I mean that it is creative, inventive, a bit abnormal, but pretty much an awesome analogy.

Here it is, the first couple paragraphs of the article and the article link is above:

"Ever tried to use a bottle of ketchup on, say, a hot dog, and you mightily whack, shake and jiggle the bottle but no matter what you do, that ketchup won't budge -- until several moments later it finally does let loose and you get a massive blob of ketchup that spills all over everything?

Picture that ketchup as this year's missing warmth -- bottled up in May and June (and early July) to where we've seen just 11 days at 70 or warmer and just one "warm" day at 77 degrees.

But it seems after weeks and weeks of rattling, the warmth is finally going to be unleashed in one big goop of hot air."

Eclipse!

Clever headline alert! Ok, so Twilight Eclipse opened yesterday so today there was the inevitable online pieces about how well it did at the box office. Enter the clever headline: "'Twilight' eclipses record with $68.5M debut." So it wasnt the best opening ever, that is held by the second twilight movie. It is the best Wednesday opening.

OK, some of you may be wondering why this is on the Mullet of Blogs - Answer: whether you love twilight and therefore think it is awesome (appropriate for the blog) or dislike the saga, you get lots of chances to make fun of it (also appropriate for the blog). See, everyone goes home happy!
