Breakfast Links: Flying Priest, Joey Chestnut & Slim Goodbody
It’s monday. It’s art.
You kinda feel bad with this strong contestant for the Darwin Awards, but this priest took off using a bunch of helium balloons armed with a GPS he didn’t know how to use. Granted, this was his second run, but really… how hard is it to spend 5 minutes before leaving with someone who knows how to use the GPS? Needless to say, he didn’t make it and his body was recently found. His last contact was to say:
I need to contact someone who can teach me how to operate this GPS, so I can give the latitude and longitude coordinates, which is the only way that people on the ground can know where I am.
It was an effort to raise money for charity, but really, I mean. Come on.
On the other side of doing stupid things, but this time not for charity we find that Takeru Kobayashi has again lost to Joey Chestnut at Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest! Whaaat? Twice in a row?? Sigh. This time around when the buzzer rang it found the two contestants tied and it went in to overtime. That’s right, it went into overtime. You didn’t even know there was overtime in a food eating contest. But there you have it. Oh well, it may now be “the Chestnut era” but was Joey ever in a music video un-eating food? I think not.
And on the other side of a hot dog eating competition… did you know that Slim Goodbody was still in action and performing? Do you even know who Slim Goodbody is? Well now you know who he is and that he’s still performing, you can pick up tickets to his next event near you! Man, those videos were fascinating growing up, creepy, yes, but fascinating. It isn’t every day you see a guy dancing around in a skintight body suit with your internals drawn on telling you your heart sounds like “luba-duba-luba-duba.” Not every day.
