The Average Links

Stick Your NES, SNES, Genesis, and GBA Cartridges in the RetroN 4. I've gotta say, this thing looks pretty cool. I have a working snes that I play all the time but I never did have an NES or a Genesis and there are a lot of good games on those two systems. Those second generation top loading NES's go for big money on ebay. If it works, why not get a replica system?


Trash, bullets and feces found in former Sonic Swift's squalid home. At first this story made me laugh as to how absurd it sounded. Former NBA first round pick Robert Swift living squatting in a foreclosed home. Sounds high-larious until you see the condition of the house and all the stuff he left behind. Mo Money Mo Problems, I guess.


One Brave Blogger has Finally Discovered the Average Porn Star. Yeah, yeah, yeah google search bait. Seriously, this is kind of interesting. I learned that I actually weigh less than the average american man. Go me.


Watch an Olympic Pole Vaulter Go From Ecstatic Joy to Child-Like Tirade. This is pretty brutal. Renaud Lavillenie thought he had cleared 6.07m, which would have ranked him as the second best pole vaulter ever, but he didn't. The crossbar bounced off the standard just enough to count as a fault but not enough to actually fall. His meltdown is pretty epic.

Reach for the Gold

Not to be outdone by Nike, Hostess has developed their own set of Olympics themed inspirational commercials. This features pole vaulting and twinkies.

True story, I have done this exact vault before... many, many times.
