Bloodsport Mentos: the Freshmaker

We've done it internet, let's pack it up and head home.

Top 10 Jean-Claude Van Damme Splits

Believe it or not there was a time and place where a new Jean Claude Van Damme movie was big news. Like, "hey everyone let's go see that new Jean Claude Van Damme movie tonight" news. I believe the time was 1993 and the place was Montlake 9 and the movie was Hard Target.

Anyhoo, here's JCVD doing a bunch of splits.

The Worst Links

The Ten Worst Cartoon Cars.I don't think I would have ranked the Flinstones car so high. Think about it, they're literally riding on dinosaurs and living in houses built of giant rock slabs. The fact that they've developed any sort of locomotion is pretty impressive. This Spongebob car/boat on the other hand is an abomination which should be killed with fire. Which shouldn't work considering they're underwater but they do have fire, this show is so confusing!

The Making And Unmaking Of Preston Zimmerman, American Soccer Player. This is a great read by Greg Howard. When it comes to talent at the youth level, the American soccer community is kind of like a mule with a spinning wheel. No one knows how he got it and danged if he knows how to use it!

What I mean is that anyone can recognize talent, but what you do with it after you find it is the tricky thing. Most hardcore soccer fans will tell you that you have to go to Europe. Go ahead and read the story of Preston Zimmerman and then tell me you HAVE to go to Europe. It doesn't always work out for everyone.

AFL: The 15 Worst Fighters In The 1988 'Bloodsport' Kumite. This reminds me, I haven't watched Bloodsport or really any JCVD movie in FOREVER. That's what kids will do to you.

Growing fantasy-game universe collides with entrenched boys’ club mentality. This is one of those typical, outsider succeeds at something and everyone freaks out. In this case it's Magic: The Gathering and the outsider is a 31 year old transgender woman. It's an interesting read. It's funny, my guess is that a majority of people playing Magic have at some point been persecuted and picked on and here they are recycling that same behavior because someone from outside their circle dared do something they like doing.

Kickboxer: just the kicking

This supercut of all the kicks from the Jean Claude Van Damme classic kickboxer beat out the other three youtube clips I was thinking about posting tonight. One was a supercut of all the "three point landings" in cinema, the other was a pug in a dinosaur costume fighting a dauchshund in a bee costume and the third was a kid running away from an animatronic dinosaur. So I guess now you know what I'll be posting later this week.
