FD4: Czech Your Soul At the Offramp

Life imitating cheap franchise-horror-kinda-art?

No doubt you've already heard on Thursday a massive 116 car pileup happened over in the Czech Republic. Authorities blame the snow. What do I blame? Death. That's right, Death. With a capital D. I'd like to recount this movie that came out in 2003 featuring a premonition with what could possibly be, the most stupendous scene of twisted metal that really has yet to be topped. I never have looked at logging trucks the same way since. I'm guessing the 33 people that were injured, however not dead, will be face-to-face with ghastly consequences from seemingly harmless appliances and freak accident situations in the coming months.

Speaking of freak accidents, Steve Irwin isn't alone. A woman down in the Florida keys takes it in the face from a stingray and doesn't live to tell of the tail. Or tale. Either one. Either way, that's a freakishly ray-related accident that just sometimes happens. But the truth is, there's hundreds of ray-related accidents. Some may be happening on your television right now.



Lock your doors and kill your TV. That's why the internet was invented.

Name drop #3

I know if I started a band I'd at least name one of the albums after an 80's movie reference. Like Venkman. That's why I appreciate Fujiya & Miyagi and I'd like to spread their name to you readers, with the exception of Ted. Ted is a P-I-M-P. Sorry, OT. But in any case, I'm going to make this easy on you guys and just give you a video to watch. Here's F&M with their song "Ankle Injuries".



That's the second video I've seen this week that features dice. The other one was Lil' Wayne's T-Pain-inspired "Lollipop" where Carter is featured holding dice-shaped suckers. If I find out where to get them, I've got a feeling I'll feature them in the future. Back on point, what makes this band even niftier you'd think based on the name there's only two members. Wrong. There's three. Theres the Ampersand. He's on bass.

I'd also like to spread the love with a little song about cheating and being outfront about it. I always thought this was The Police. Whoops. Is it just me or are there a lot of Brits in this entry?

Paging John Connor

I'd just like you all to know that we're getting closer and closer to SkyNet going live. I really appreciate the man that took the creative process and apply his skills to the suicide circle, but this is just ridiculous. At least he knew that he would be discovered the next day, because there's nothing sadder than a man dead and his suicide machine gone unnoticed.

Killer fucking robots. That's it, I'm moving to California. I need a governor that kicks ass.

Belarus Magic

Yesterday, October 15, Belarus road police act a fool on a couple of Minsk residents. Police stopped four cars and asked them to be repositioned to stop a oncoming drunk driver. A highway human pinball machine essentially. The drivers and their company were still in their cars at the time of the multi-accident. Aside from head injuries, no one was severly hurt.



Slick!

Every good news reporter knows that for the gritty, the devil is in the details. Every good news reporter, too, knows that being at the scene is even more important. Reporter Rob Leth for the Global News Toronto comes equipped with a cameraman and a "trusty" stopwatch to document a sled race. Hopefully Rob knows to read between the lines on his next assignment. A cracked tail bone and a punctured spleen can't be good.

"That was a bad idea. At Riverside Park, Rob Leth. Global News."
