Red teams pit crew is missing the last knuckle on his fueling hand. This was due to the now infamous World Championship at Landres.

The rules and safety regulations were changed thereafter to prohibit the use of highly pressurized 'speed tanks'.

Tether cars. You now know as much about them as I know.

So if for some reason the the tether breaks, you have what I assume is a 2-4 pound projectile careening around at 200+ mph, with folks traipsing around without any protective gear and maybe, maybe a flimsy chainlink fence between them and the bullet car?

That would make an awesome Columbo episode.

The guy in the middle is holding the cord. If you watch a bit of that plane race video posted you'll see a bunch of people doing this weird aggressive huge circle thing as they try to crash their plane into the arse of the other persons plane or something. Not watching enough of that stuff to understand why you'd even bother.

U-control flying is all we could do before R/C got cheap enough for the rest of us. My first planes in the early '70s were Cox U-controls.

Competitive flying involved having a streamer off the tail and the object was to cut the opponent's streamer. Used to be a 10' circle and the two pilots stayed in it. Them the planes got faster & faster and then there were more than two pilots at a time, & that's what you end up with.

It's amazing what they can do with computers these days.

Klask looks like mini air hockey, and I guess they use magnets on the bottom to control the pieces? I only watched it for like 30 seconds though.

That’s the most Chav thing I’ve ever seen. Is this a part of hooligan Olympics? Do you get fouled out for kicking someone in the nuts? The round is won when the opponent falls. Do they collapse in pain or can you through them down (which makes kicking kind of pointless).


The ladies in lab coats don’t make the guys kicking each other seem any more legitimate.

No that's shin kicking, part of the cotswold olympics from the people who brought you cheese rolling and dwile flonking

Perfectly sensible and cromulent sports where you gently caress up either yourself or other people and get pissed off your tits.

They're all a few hundred years old. Imagine you are a peasant in a village and there's nothing to do except launch yourself off a hill chasing a cheese, kick the poo poo out of people, or hit people with beer soaked rags and drink.

Thanks.

It really screwed me up at first because for years I've been having a recurring dream where I'm doing something mundane and I realize I've lost enough weight to take it off, followed by the immediate thought of "This has happened to me in dreams, but this time is actually REAL" then I immediately wake up. It was a real mindfuck when it actually happened.

Open gif in separate tab, change extension to .mp4, turn on controls, skip to end.
It's 11:46 long and absolutely worth it. You might even say, spectacular.
That's another 90's reference for ya.

Well buddy let me tell you about a really fascinating time called the mid to late nineties. That poo poo isn't even the risque-ist poo poo they pulled off then.

Also considering the culture in the United States during the mid to late nineties and into the early 2000s, it was incredibly and unapologetically misogynistic. Like, holy poo poo it was bad.
