Pushing North

I was breezing though Prolly Is Not Probably this morning while I wait for Jones and came across this little vid.
I've really only done a minor amount of touring in my life. Mostly consisting of the RAGBRAI. I've always enjoyed it but its always the same time of year with predictable weather.
A tour like the one in the video would be a whole different experience.
This new film entitled Pushing North covers Marcus Johannes and Dirk Badenhorst's trip from Key West, Florida to Fairbanks, Alaska. A journey that took the two cyclists over 6000 miles and 89 days to complete.
Something like this is one of those things I've always wanted to do.
This clip makes the movie and doing such a trip really appealing.

Whats the safe word? "Poodle"

Saturday is the premiere of a movie I have been waiting for since I first heard it was being made...
Choke

From the book jacket:
Victor Mancini, a medical-school dropout, is an antihero for our deranged times. Needing to pay elder care for his mother, Victor has devised and ingenious scam: he pretends to choke on pieces for food while dining in upscale restaurants. He then allows himself to be "saved" by fellow patrons who, feeling responsible for Victor's life, go on to send checks to support him. When he's not pulling this stunt, Victor cruised sexual addiction recovery workshops for action, visits his addled mom, and spends his days working at a colonial theme park. His creator, Chuck Palahniuk (Fight Club), is the visionary we need and the satirist we deserve.

There are several trailers on YouTube but the one on the actual website is the best - www.chokeonthis.net - so be sure and check it out!

Boat, Cucumber, Wire

Have you seen Super High Me ?
You should, its damn funny.

Cellar-Door

I have found a new favorite movie.
Donnie Darko
Crazy movie and I really enjoyed it. Many times I have seen references too it and not understood until now.
However lately I haven't be able to get embedded videos to work on here so you will have to follow this link to the trailer I wanted to post.
While you are following linkage...

And Here
If you haven't seen Donnie Darko (seems like I am the only one who hasn't) see it.

Is Cellar-Door really the most beautiful combination of words in the English language?
