"The coach . . . threw in the towel to spare his pitcher’s arm with his team losing 66-0"


Um, wow. That's a pretty tough kid, though, just to be able to stay in there through all of that. Also, this kind of reminds me of some of the worst of our little league games when I was a kid, which probably would have gotten this bad if we didn't have the ten-run rule.

"Association"

I'm sure this will be all over the internets soon and that there isn't much of a reason for a little blog nobody reads like this one to feature it, but I'm going to anyway, just in case you haven't seen it and happen across this blog while randomly surfing the web in the middle of the night. Maybe you will suddenly realize you need some strange, strange, strange animated weirdness. So here's the butt-biting bug. Enjoy.

ADDED: The youtube link is down, thanks to NHK. Here's another version. The subtitles aren't in English on this one--but really, do they need to be?
