Pissed-Up Wanker Invades U.K. Horse Race, Manages Not To Get Killed
A while back we brought you an Idiot On The Field who ran onto the track during a harness race. Here's the thoroughbred version, from today's Cream Gorse Handicap race in Leicester....

How To Make Pancakes, A Marvel Of Labor And Science
The pancake—the notion of the pancake as a breakfast food—comes to us from an older time, a slower time, a time before boxed cereal. A time when your breakfast choices included grinding wheat into flour, mixing it with liquid, and cooking it, or else just chewing on some un-ground wheat like an ass...

These Polar Bears Are Really Bad At Macking On Each Other
There are two things I dig about this video. The first is that cool-ass disguised robot camera that could have been an imperial drone on Hoth. The second is how bad these polar bears are at flirting....

How To Make A Caipirinha, Brazil's Weird-Ass National Cocktail
I'm fired up for the World Cup, and you should be, too, even if you, like me, don't know shit about soccer. Or make that especially if you don't know shit about soccer. The beauty of The Most Popular Game on Earth™, at least for the open-minded neophyte, is that it's so breathtakingly easy to follow...

Mo' Meta Blues: <em>22 Jump Street</em>, Reviewed
1. How much credit are we supposed to give a movie for being self-aware? 22 Jump Street is so self-conscious and nervy about its status as an unnecessary cash-grab sequel that it never stops bringing it up. There are multiple inside-baseball asides about how much more expensive missions are the seco...

Game Of OMG's: How The Internet Became One Giant Spoiler Alert
I can't stop thinking about Ginsberg's nipple. While shearing off that irksome "valve" may have relieved some pressure and brought a measure of peace to Mad Men's resident alien, even a month later, it still stares at me from its dainty gift box as a symbol of sadness and frustration, and a reminder...

The Life And Death Of The Runaway Baltimore Bull: A Play In Two Acts
A bull got loose in the streets of Baltimore today. Nobody is sure where the bull came from, or where he was trying to go. All we know is that the bull was spotted by many Baltimore residents, running across the hot pavement of the city's roads, warmed by the summer sun and driven onward by the thri...

A Grown-Ass Man's Guide To Super-Hard Old Nintendo Games
This is a thing about playing old NES games that I couldn't beat as a kid to see if I could beat them now as an adult, but let me tell you this first: I had sex while wearing a Power Glove not that long ago. It's maybe the most impressive thing that I've ever accomplished in my whole entire life. Th...

The Gospel According To Buck O'Neil
"[Baseball] is a religion. For me. You understand? If you go by the rules, it is a right. The things that you can do. The things that you can't do, that you aren't supposed to do. And if these are carried out, it makes a beautiful picture overall. It's a very beautiful thing because it taught me and...

Pouty Bill Simmons Wishes Somebody Would Let Him Talk
Bill Simmons is, still, an NBA panelist for ESPN. You wouldn't know it from tonight's postgame on the WWL, though, as it took them more than seven minutes to finally get around to letting him talk. He didn't seem too happy about it, either....

Kawhi Leonard's Putback Punctuates A Dominant First Half For The Spurs
The Spurs don't have an unreal shooting percentage tonight like they did in Game 3, but they still killed the Heat in the first half, 55-36. Kawhi Leonard's putback on Patty Mills's three attempt gave San Antonio a 22-point lead. So many sad, booing Heat fans....

Do NBA Teams With Whiter Fan Bases Have Whiter Rosters?
In the NBA of yesterday, an owner could be explicit about structuring his roster around the race of the players. "No team should be all white and no team should be all black, either," Cavs owner and legendary boob Ted Stepien told a reporter in 1980. And why not? "Blacks don't buy many tickets," he ...

Fallen Rangers Fan Is The Saddest Subway Rider
A reader sends along this photo of a prone Rangers fan, fittingly adorned in a Rick Nash jersey and camo Rangers hat, lying prone on the Q train at 2:00 a.m. last night. We are told that this guy "barely moved" for at least three stops, at which time our tipster had to get off the train....

<em>Dredd</em> Is The Second-Best Drug-Fortress Action Flick Ever
For reasons we may never understand, movie studios, in their infinite wisdom, often decide to drop two movies about the same thing at the same time. That's how we end up with dueling volcano-based disaster movies, giant-asteroid-based disaster movies, or Truman Capote biopics. But in 2012, we got su...
