The Tough Guy Competition took place in England yesterday, and thousands of awesomely masochistic people competed in the 8-mile endurance course that included obstacles with barbed wire, fire, mud, and icy water.

A broken neck, a dozen broken or dislocated bones and 600 people struck down with hypothermia – including the winner – all meant it was business as usual in what’s been dubbed the world’s toughest endurance battle.

Whoops, there goes my imminent-peril boner again.  Organizer Billy Wilson added:

“It was non-stop trips, back and forth to the hospital. There were a lot of injuries, but there were no deaths this year. Overall, it’s been quite successful.”

I love any event where success is determined by the fact that nobody died.  Although I’d like it even more if success was determined by how many people died.

Even though his Orlando Magic got bounced from the playoffs last night, Hedo Turkoglu can't hang his head for long, not just because he won the NBA's Most Improved Player award, was a go-to shooter in the playoffs (albeit one who couldn't make said critical shots) and was an easy choice for the league All-Beard team. 

No, he probably shouldn't hang his head, because he needs to keep it on a swivel while on the lookout for the loopy woman who, in the last few days, has posted in a number of YouTube videos in which she photoshops naked pictures of herself on top of stills of Hedo. Others bare his name in the title and have her gyrating about in her skivvies. The poster "CorinasLips1989" alters the woman's name back and forth from Juliana to Luliana, no doubt to keep police guessing when Hedo's severed head shows up in the mail at the precinct in a few days.

After the jump is the most coherent of the many very NSFW videos floating around the tubes: 

Delonte West is currently of the Cavaliers, formerly of the Celtics and forever carrier of a nasty strain of the herp. West at least flaps his disease-marked lips in an interesting fashion in this discursive interview he conducted during his days with the Celtics. It's really quite amazing. He begins the interviewing saying he hopes no one drinks out of his favorite cup then trails off. The herp can do terrible things to your mind that way.

In case any ladies are reading, I like riding my horse as well. That horse is heroin, though. That statement is bound to attract the kind of women Delonte has been with. Maybe, Delonte, too. He claims to have met Bugs Bunny, you see.
