Lobster Dog practices safe parachuting by wearing head gear. Douche Dog does not.
Every few years, a friend of mine will have a “milestone” birthday, which is another way for people to say, “Hey, I’m older than 30 and would like you to pretend like birthdays still matter”, and without fail there is always one guy who wants to go skydiving. Now, I have never accepted an invitation to do this, because I have a short list of things that I would not like to do, including:
- Wrestle alligators
- Be shot
- Go to prison
- Jump out of an airplane that is in the sky, high above the very hard ground
And there are a few others, but they’re much more graphic and will give people nightmares. But that last one – jumping out of an airplane – is a good one because whenever I tell people that I don’t want to try skydiving, someone always responds, “Don’t be a sissy, bro.” Yesterday, though, a 51-year old man in California helped prove why I am fine with being called a sissy.
Before today, my only knowledge of the Shrine Circus is that they put out buy-one-get-one-free coupons at every local grocery store, charge you five dollars to park, reveal at the gate that each individual ticket is forty dollars and you can’t get a refund on parking.
Or, if you’d like a less literate title, “Snowmobiling’s Ultimate ‘Whoops, I Backflipped On a Snowmobile and Now I’m Falling Down a Mountain’ Helmetcam Fail.” In a video you’re likely to see everywhere (including your nightmares), we find out exactly what it looks like to fall down a mountain. It’s scary enough to fall, but this guy has to fall with a snowmobile behind him. And in front of him at one point. There isn’t much context, but what context do you need besides “holy sh** this guy is gonna die?”
