Make sure you stick around for the backflip at 0:55. This baby goat is more exciting than the last 24 hours of Olympics coverage. (via The Daily Wh.at)

Playing ‘Possum

Written by Brandon Stroud / 03.09.12

ratatouille-snowboarding-opossumThis video makes Anton Ego remember what snowboarding was like when he was little.

Meet Ratatouille…not only a snowboarding opossum but the world’s greatest snowboarding opossum! Watch him as he tears up the slopes on his Burton Riglet Snowboard! Rock on opossum…rock on!

As seen on The Today Show, Good Morning America, and Sportscenter Top 10!

(via Liberty Mountain Resort)

Possum. Big, freaky, lookin’ bitch. Since when did they change it to opossum? When I was comin’ up it was just possum. Opossum makes it sound like he’s irish or something. Why do they gotta go changing everything?

In all seriousness, the fact that Ratatouille is snowboarding isn’t as awesome as the fact that he’s an opossum in a sweater and an ID lanyard. The “Mah Nà Mah Nà” remix is a nice touch. Maybe he’s not a real opossum at all, and Jim Henson is under him somewhere pulling the strings.

Dogs Were Not Meant For Bench Pressing

Written by Ashley Burns / 12.13.11

"How much ya bench?"

Part of the fun of obscure world records used to be the element of lunacy that was still combined with some sort of unique talent that made the person setting each record so remarkable. Instead, we’ve celebrated the World’s Fattest Man and Woman, the most people gathered in one place while dressed like something, and especially the most women gathered in one place in just bikinis. And now, thanks to the fine people at RecordSetters, anyone can basically set a world record for anything. How easy is it?

So wait, can anyone set a world record? Heck yes. All you need is a unique skill, a video camera and a bit of imagination. Beyond that, the rules are simple: records you submit must be quantifiable, breakable and include sufficient media evidence. Creativity is highly encouraged.

What categories are acceptable? We make it our policy to never subjectively judge submissions, as long as our basic guidelines are followed. We strongly encourage feats that push human achievement in a positive direction. See our RecordSetter Principles below.

That’s right, if you have an idea and a video camera, you can be a RecordSetter. Just like San Diego’s John Van Zant, who set his own world record last month when he bench-pressed his dog 36 times in 30 seconds on live local television. I know what you’re thinking and yes, the dog does look absolutely thrilled to be held in the air and shaken around.

This Parrot Sure Does Love Soccer

Written by Ashley Burns / 09.22.11

I believe these are African-American Greys.

America may have the best all-around animals in the world – Keyboard Cat, Lobster Dog, Birthday Dog, American Squirrel, and my dog Lilah, among others – but today we are featuring a pet from Spain that may give every animal in the world a run for the title of Coolest Pet Ever.

Meet Berritsu, a simple African Grey upon first glance, but he possesses perhaps every sports fan’s greatest wish – you know, aside from a live-in, large-breasted, bisexual, super model waitress. Berritsu can not only sing the fight song for his owner’s favorite football club, Athletic Club Bilbao, but he also cheers when players score and the team wins.

I actually had an African Grey when I was growing up and I trained it to celebrate every time the Miami Dolphins won a playoff game. Easiest trick ever.
