Start out with a food video. Guys went to Coldstone and ordered a sundae with every mix-in available. And then they ate it.

Opposing coach has pole-vaulter disqualified for wearing friendship bracelet

This one just gave me a headache. During a track meet, the coach of Monrovia High School, Mike Knowles, decided that if his team couldn’t beat their opponents, South Pasadena, with actual talent and ability, he would rules-lawyer his way to a victory by pointing out that an opponent was wearing a friendship bracelet. Citing a “no jewelry” rule, he had that opponent (who had just made the winning pole vault) disqualified. Good job, Knowles. Coach ‘em up. What lesson does this teach?

Texas Third-Grader given one week’s detention for having a Jolly Rancher during lunch

A lot of school districts have adopted “no minimally-nutritious foods” policies, barring the sale of pop and candy in lunch rooms. My local school district pulled their pop machines out 5 or so years ago. However, most of those policies say that parents can still pack whatever lunch they want to. Anywho, this third grader was caught with a *gasp* Jolly Rancher. The school decided that, under the policy, they had to give this girl a weeks’ worth of detention. You see, her mother hadn’t packed the Jolly Rancher – it was given to her by a friend. The mother decided to use the incident as a teaching point: “I told her, ‘Leighann, unfortunately you’re learning very young that life’s not fair.” Smart mom, dumb school district.

Finally, one more video.  This guy decided that he wanted a job at one of the prestigious marketing firms in his area. He based his plan around the fact that people tend to Google their own names. So, he bought Google Adwords for the names of a lot of execs from these law firms.

That’s all for now!
