When two rappers step up to spit freestyle rhymes some of the listeners would love transcription to help clarify some of the slang and intent of what they are saying.  If you have ever found yourself in that situation, then worry no more for this video has you covered.

BBC’s Top Gear is what all auto shows should be.  I continually enjoy watching their reviews and commentary.  On top of that, they have brilliant production and man can they drive.

The video a bit long… but seriously, watch it all.  It just gets better and better.

We reference :: zefrank a lot here.  I have been a fan back since his “Learn to Dance” Flash invite that he created for a party.  Since then he has done a lot with Flash, video, art and humor.  His “Our Art Art Hour” is one of the funniest things I have seen in a long time. This may be the fact that I have a background in theatre and find the word play awesome… but I feel everyone will at least get a chuckle.

The hilarious Eugene Mirman was asked to return to his alma mater to give the graduating class of 2009 at Lexington High School a few inspirational words.  I wish my graduation had such a great speech… funny, mostly tongue-in-cheek tidbits (very Mirman), but yet some how it works.

Apparently Andre the Giant was quite the drinker. On a scale that honestly you probably can’t even fathom before you read this fantastic article. Those of us that enjoy tippin’ a glass here and there and think we know how to do it right (or at least claim to have, before we got “old”) will be humbled by this incredible story. I’ll just tease you with this little stat:

Think about it: 119 beers in 6 hours. That’s a beer every 3 minutes, non-stop. That’s beyond epic.

A beer every 3 minutes. Not a shot of beer, but an entire beer. 119 times. No stopping, no f**king around.

Make sure to watch the version in HD full-screen if you have the bandwidth.  So awesome.

When Monty Python and Halo Machinima get mashed up.  Awesome things happen.
