In what could have been a moment straight out of a Roadrunner cartoon, a high school wrestler is struck by a falling light fixture from the roof of the arena. The light fixture falling could not have been more perfectly timed. The wrestlers were resetting in the center of the ring when the fixture came crashing down on top of a wrestler on all fours. The fixture perfectly fit over the kids back. It appears that no one was hurt in the accident.
Volkswagen recently released a new commercial that features a father and son playing catch in the yard. The son throws the ball in the way you would expect a child to throw a ball, not too well. But, then the Dad gets the ball and attempts to show his son the proper technique... You quickly realize that the son will never be playing professionally if his Dad is his coach. This video hits home for Hot Wings. He threw out the first pitch at a West Michigan Whitecaps game with less than stellar results.
Meanwhile in Russia... A drunk girl was running down a street in Russia when she ran right through a pane of glass at a bus stop. The girl either had a plan that involved hilariously bouncing off the glass, or she was completely oblivious of her surroundings and flew down the street in a drunken haze. We believe it is the latter.

A video has gone viral of a group of elderly gents singing "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" at their local Tim Horton's. The group turned out to be a barbershop group that uses the restaurant as a weekly meeting place. That's all well and good, but the REALLY funny part is that Free Beer has admitted to his love of the barbershop style music.
The types of news stories that hit the Canadian airwaves are somewhat different than stories here in the United States. The CBC ran a 2 minute report on a stolen outhouse, or in the Canadian dialect 'oothoose.' The 'oothoose' was stolen a few months after a large party where 30 guys "Christened the thing in their own way." The father and son that built the 'oothoose' said they lost the good memories from that party.
Producer Joe, being the nice young naive boy that he is, has been receiving prostate exams since he was 22-years-old. This all seemed well and good until Joe was informed by his doctor uncle that a prostate exam isn't necessary until the ages of 40 or 50. After that discovery, Producer Joe decided that it might be wise to find a new doctor with less of a carnal desire for butt play. What Joe didn't realize was that apparently no matter what doctor he goes to, something will eventually get weird.
Morning commuters in New Jersey ran into a bit of a surprise when a subway escalator randomly decided to reverse it's course. Screams of panic were heard throughout the subway terminal due to this less than catastrophic turn of events. People began to attempt to quickly run up the reversed elevator as though they were avoiding a brutal death. Because of the panic, several people were injured. But these injuries were to be expected, since patrons were obviously using the escalator for it's escalating properties. This experience proves the ancient proverb wrong that "An escalator can never break: it can only become stairs."
Free Beer and Hot Wings took notice of the motivational posters around the building this morning. The first, and most regal, of the posters is "Focus Eagle." The eagle stands proud and declares that "If you chase two rabbits, both will escape." Next we have the "Leadership Wolf," who inspires people to lead their pack. Other notable exceptions not pictured are "Inspirational Wayne Gretzky" and "Opportunity Golf Course."
A recent study out of Brazil found a link between middle-aged mortality and the ability to sit and stand unassisted. To take the test, you are asked to sit and stand with the least amount of assistance from your limbs. Depending on your performance, you are assigned a score that can be used to determine whether or not you are at risk. If you were to perfectly complete the test, you would sit with your legs crossed and then stand back up without using your arms.
Getting shot with a taser is probably one of the most unpleasant events someone can endure. In this video, a police cadet is willingly on the receiving end of a police taser during his training. Even though he knew it was coming, the cadet broke down prior to, during, and after the shock. From what we understand, this is standard protocol: if you want to use a taser, you have to be tased so you have an understanding of the power that you yield.
