Just come across this bit of Redneck fun posted a while back on YouTube.

Best Penalty Kick Ever?
Showing that Spain’s World Cup victory was no flash in the pan, here’s one of their young players showing there’s more to come in the future.
In this under 19s match between Spain and Italy, Ezequiel Calvente approached the spot kick as if he was going to use his right foot then ‘switch hit’ to his left foot. The goalkeeper was not best pleased.

Spitting Goat
Following up the wonderful Talking Goats, here’s another ode to the joys of all things Goat (or Capra as we say in Latin).
Aside from the laughs cooked up by the video itself, I laughed louder at the following comment on YouTube:
“I like the part when both him and the goat are silent and the goat just spits at him to ease the tension”

Talking Goats
An old one we’ve just come across thanks to redflame on b3ta.
I thought goats were called Billy, but here’s emphatic proof that there’s a Bob goat and an Ed goat too.

The Karate Kid (Trailer)
Trailer for remake of The Karate Kid
Tip: Rollover video unit to expand screen
We Say:
We’re big fans of the original Karate Kid and are looking forward to this remake too, starring martial arts legend Jackie Chan…
They Say:
In Columbia Pictures’ The Karate Kid, 12-year-old Dre Parker (Jaden Smith) could’ve been the most popular kid in Detroit, but his mother’s (Taraji P. Henson) latest career move has landed him in China. Dre immediately falls for his classmate Mei Ying – and the feeling is mutual – but cultural differences make such a friendship impossible. Even worse, Dre’s feelings make an enemy of the class bully, Cheng. In the land of kung fu, Dre knows only a little karate, and Cheng puts “the karate kid” on the floor with ease. With no friends in a strange land, Dre has nowhere to turn but maintenance man Mr. Han (Jackie Chan), who is secretly a master of kung fu. As Han teaches Dre that kung fu is not about punches and parries, but maturity and calm, Dre realizes that facing down the bullies will be the fight of his life.

Man Caught on Camera Stealing a Car Bumper

This fella steals a VW Golf’s entire bumper in broad daylight, then makes his getaway.
Eton Wall Game (1921)
Here’s an example of posh people acting like prats.
It’s culled from the wonderful BFI Archive. Shot in 1921 for a contemporary newsreel, the film shows the annual Eton Wall Game, held on St Andrew’s day each year. Apparently ex-pupil George Orwell once took part and we assume Prime Minister David Cameron and his old school chum London Mayor Boris Johnson might have had a shove too.
Jolly japes had by all.
