Robert Downey Jr has long walked the tightrope between genius and insanity. He’s supremely talented and can keep a crowd engrossed acting, singing or just talking. Then again, he’s the same guy who was so loaded on cocaine one night that he walked into his neighbour’s house and fell asleep on his kid’s bed, thinking he was [...]

#10 Wrestlers
Posted in Crazy People, tagged funny, wrestling on Tuesday, June, 10 ,2008 | Leave a Comment »
Ahh..good old rasslin. The national pastime when i was a kid in the 90s. Contrary to popular belief, wrestling was never about wrestling. It was about the drama. And the most dramatic moments were the promos. These short vignettes showing the wrestlers working themselves into a lather made life worth living. Here are some gems..

#9 Gary Busey : Still Crazy
Posted in Crazy People, tagged gary busey on Friday, June, 6 ,2008 | Leave a Comment »
The first time I saw Gary was in Point Break. I remember thinking to myself, this guy is definitely a maniac in real life. Being a kid, it was presumptious of me to judge him by his looks. Still, I was obviously right. He has been that “crazy looking actor in a bit part” for me for [...]

Listen, I’ve been joking about dudes being crazy and all but this time I’m serious, Ron is nuts. I mean, we need to get this guy help not now, but right now. Actually, it should have happened years ago. Ron-Ron first came to prominence at St. John’s where he made his rep by playing college [...]

Vladimir Galchenko is a 20 year old sophomore at California State University. In his mid-teens, he immigrated to the U.S from Russia where he was a resident of Penza. As a boy growing up, his father enrolled him in “circus school” when he was four years old in the hope that Vladimir would be able [...]
#6 Bill O’Reilly: Conservative Tool
Posted in Crazy People, tagged bill o'reilly, fox news, politics on Saturday, May, 31 ,2008 | 1 Comment »
Bill O’Reilly. The man will proudly tell you that when listening to him, you are “entering a no-spin zone”. Nice gimmick, except he’s a pompous windbag with his own agenda. That becomes obvious after watching him for about ten minutes. His interviews are a joke. He asks his guests questions the way an 8th grade bully [...]
#5 Mike Tyson: Bizarre Boxer
Posted in Crazy People, tagged boxing, mike tyson, sports on Monday, May, 26 ,2008 | 1 Comment »
At the age of 7, along with the rest of the world, I purchased the video game “Mike Tyson’s Punchout”. Since then, he has always been my favorite boxer. His combination of youth and power made him a legend at 18 years old. At that time, it was Iron Mike who was the golden boy of boxing at a time when Oscar [...]

#3 Mitt Romney: “Funny How? I’m a clown..I amuse you?”

Although this blog has put its considerable clout behind Barack Obama (Brrrrrrraack!) in his presidential bid, i was very happy to find out that it is possible that the funniest politician EVER may not be totally out of the picture just yet. Mitt Romney has been named as a possible running mate for John “McBain” McCain [...]
# 2 Theta Chi Frat Bros. : Puff Puff Sniff Sniff

Remember the 70s classic Animal House? Oh yes, that classic teenage comedy romp that’s images still adorn dorm room walls and T-shirts 30 years later…Who can forget the toga parties and drunkenness galore. Good times man. For sure. Of course college is a little different in 2008. For example when the Theta Chi Frat [...]
