Things recently got awkward on a recent episode of Jeopardy! when Alex Trebek struck up a conversation with Duke senior, Greer Mackebee about his love for competitive concrete canoe making.

Trebek’s follow-up question caused the whole mid-show interview to completely sink. (Sorry about that.)

I would say 90% of this video are bang-on for whitewater paddlers so I want to know when somebody is going to put together one for sea kayakers?

Here is my working list so far but feel free to add your suggestions in the comments.

“You can only roll 3 different ways?!”
“Pungo’s are not real kayaks.”
“I don’t care what colour my new drysuit and PFD are as long as they are black.”
“How do you like my beard?”
“The waves on the lake were at least 10 feet high.”
“Hold on, I left my Tilley hat in the car.”
To the store clerk, “Does this come in black?”

We all know First Aid or CPR instructional videos can me more boring than watching grass grow in the middle of winter. To help get the message out about the new hands-only CPR technique, the British Heart Foundation enlisted the help of Hollywood tough guy, Vinnie Jones to show us how to do it properly.

If you want more information on hands-only CPR, head over to the American Heart Association’s website, handsonlycpr.org where you can also have the pleasure of watching an extremely boring instructional video in the tradition we have that we have all come to love (and hate).

Thanks to my buddy Mike for the video tip.

Yep, looks safe to me. Where do I sign-up my gang?

Anybody who thinks this is not the most ridiculous Halloween costume needs to book an appointment with their shrink for a full evaluation pronto.

But if you are the type of person who hates being at the malls with everybody else trying to find that perfect last minute Halloween costume and you have $47 burning a hole in your pocket, now is the time to order.
