I was browsing MorgueFile.com today when I came across this photo by Kevin Rosseel:

Who could resist a sale on big butts?

Oh I know, it’s probably not what they meant…but still pretty funny.

A little known trivia on me today: I actually took two years of video production classes. Unfortunately after the second year I was so burned out by the technical side of it (sitting and watching hours of footage and cutting and editing it is not my cup of tea!) I never actually did get around to making the movie or videos I wanted to!

It’s not easy to make a good video all by yourself. Sure, we’ve seen our fair share of home videos on YouTube, many of which are terrible and have bad lighting, bad audio, and worse actors. Just type in “me playing a song” or “me doing” in youtube and you’ll see what I mean!

Here’s the perfect example right here for you to watch of a terrible video:

It is the videos like this that really make you wish more people would take advantage of professional video production service. The perks of using professional video services is that you don’t really need anything beyond a budget and an idea - they handle all of the technical editing stuff and can even write the script and provide actors like you. So if your genius movie idea of doing nothing in front a webcam is the best you can come up…well, at least it could look pro!

Across the world there are lots of sports. Some people might think baseball or football or tennis are weird and unusual sports, but I think the ones I’ve shared below have to probably be some of the weirdest sports that anyone could find a little humor in.

Here are 6 Weird and Unusual Sports for Your Viewing Pleasure Today:

Zorb Ball

According to the official website of the Zorb Ball, “Zorb is the sport of rolling down a hill inside a giant inflatable ball and where New Zealand once again leads the world in stupid things to do while you’re on a vacation.” I didn’t know that New Zealand was the leader in stupid things to do while on vacation, but this weird unusual sport looks like it might be fun.

Unicycle Hockey

Hockey and Unicycling together at last in this weird unusual sport.

Wife Carrying

I couldn’t even believe this was a sport, but sure enough, there is a Wikipedia article about it. This sport involves men running through an obstacle course while carrying the wife as pictured above. The rules are as follows: All Participants Must Have Fun, Wife must weigh at least 49 kg (so it’s a good thing if the wife has a fat belly), 15 second penalty for dropping the wife, wife must wear helmet.  No, this doesn’t sound weird or unusual at all…

The World Pooh Sticks Championship

This weird unusual sport, named Pooh-Sticks from the popular stories Winnie the Pooh involves standing on a bridge, dropping your stick in the water, and racing to see who’s stick goes the fastest to produce a winner. Could be a fun way to spend a lazy afternoon this March…

Shin Kicking

The object of this sport is to kick the other person’s shins until they’re so weak they fall down (or you can throw them down). Their motto: If it ain’t broke, you’re not kicking hard enough. According to the official Shin Kicking website, they’re petitioning to get this one in the Olympics.

Cat Fish Grabbers

According to Catfishgrabbers.com, this sport is the “art of fishing with your hands”. To get started, all you need is a swimsuit and the ability to wrestle in the water trying to get the catfish if possible. Have you hugged a catfish today?

Worm Charming

As the name suggests, worm charming involves trying to coax worms out of the ground. Whoever gets the most worms wins!

Tent Pitching

Think you can pitch a tent faster than anybody else? I didn’t believe this one was real either until checking it out on the BBC website. The World Tent Pitching competition is all about seeing who can set up a tent the fastest.

Extreme Ironing

Get out your iron and ironing board and try out this extreme sport: players go to a remote location and iron clothes! As the Wikipedia article states: Extreme ironing is “the latest danger sport that combines the thrills of an extreme outdoor activity with the satisfaction of a well-pressed shirt.” Sounds exhilarating, doesn’t it?

I was looking online for an image to use about telephones and calling people when I stumbled across this sweet little gem:

The Portable Cell Phone Booth!

Yes, no need to worry about a lack of privacy while on your cell phone - simply carry around this portable cell phone booth around on your back and assemble anytime when needed!

Nick Rodrigues is the guy who came up with this - go check out his site and be sure you watch the video there as well!

With something like this, there’s a good chance you won’t be worried about what your what your clothes say about you…I think the phone booth says it all!
