Everything's Fine, Nothing To See Here

Algae blooms are a perfectly normal part of swimming. I swear every other time I take my kid to swim lessons the pool is green and they're just running a local community pool. These big time Olympic venues pretty much have unlimited resources to make sure little Johnny Croatia isn't going to go to the hospital every time he does a half pike twist.

In fact I hear this is a plan on the part of Rio, every day the pool is going to be the color of one of the Olympic Rings. Next up Yellow!

I've never rode a moose

Here's some Canadian Loon riding a swimming moose. How drunk do you have to be to try that? Near blackout drunk or just super buzzed. I'm glad they didn't hit the moose with the boat. Out of all the dangerous stuff going on here that looked the most dangerous.

True story, a guy a work once asked me what the largest animal I had ever rode was. He was blown away when I told him Elephant. It's been forever but still, I've ridden an elephant. Unless you're catching a ride on the back of a whale you don't get much bigger than that.

You know what day it is? Links.

Why Is The 'Retired' F-117 Nighthawk Still Flying? As a boy that grew up obsessed with military weapons and vehicles, the F-117 has a special spot in my memory-heart. It was the first really cool future weapon that I can remember. It didn't hurt that for the first few years of it's known existence it was still shrouded in mystery. No one really knew that much about the plane and what it was capable of they just new it was invisible and looked like it belonged to the rebel alliance. I love the idea that there's still a group of them flying around when there shouldn't be. Let's call them Rogue Squadron just for fun.

How a Boy, His Horse and a Swamp Basically Screwed up a Generation. Somehow The Neverending Story has come up a bunch in conversation and on-line lately. Outside of Bambi's mom I can't think a kids movie with a worse first 15 minutes. The horse literally died because it lost all hope. That ish is messed up.

It’s Not In the Game: Eight Features the NFL Made EA Sports Remove from “Madden”. I'll be honest I haven't played a Madden game since the PS2 when EA screwed the NFL2K series out of the NFL license (2005 maybe?). I had no idea they took away the ambulance. The ambulance was the BEST! Oh man I remember hours spent playing this on the snes just dying for the ambulance to show up. The only thing better was a in season snow game.

Essentially the 90s were boring and we were easily entertained.

31 Of The Most Exotic Pools On Earth. Some day I want to be rich enough to have a pool right next to or in another body of water. It's the most ridiculous expense I can think of. "Yeah that water 2 feet over there is ok, but this water right here has jets and an ipod hook up"

The Greatest Dunk of All time?

As far as I'm concerned there's like 3 dunks that are the greatest ever. John Starks going up over what seemed like every single Chicago Bull in the Eastern Conference final, Shawn Kemp's dunk over Alton Lister in 1992 where he points at him after it and Kevin Johnson dunking over Hakeem in the 1994 playoffs.

Well move over Kevin Johnson because these bros at the pool totally have you beat. Some might say that this dunk over at Deadspin is better, but it's on vine and I have no idea how to embed vine clips. So in your face other guys dunking at the pool, you just got played out.
