The biggest barbecue ever recorded was kicked off in Uruguay this weekend to promote the country’s number one export. The incredible event required a grill almost a mile long and 12 metric tonnes of beef! That’s a whole lot of meat! About 1,250 people were needed to cook the meat on the grill, which, if this was America, probably would amount to a whole lot of arguments over how to properly grill a steak. It’s a good thing these Uruguayans can get along, or else there might have been a few people steaks being served around.

Episode 54 – “Now With 30% Less Trans Fat!”
Tonight’s episode was captured by a defiant group of squirrels who refuse to understand that they have been beaten! I had to journey into the deepest and darkest of squirrel outposts and wrestle this episode away from one of the nasty little buggers before it became their giant squirrel dinner. That’s right folks, they tried to eat it! It’s a good thing I was there to make sure this show came out safe and sound. I barely escaped, but I shall wear my wounds with pride. Tonight’s episode is covered in chocolate and presented to you like a nobel prize…whatever that means. Enjoy!

Where Did All the Spare Explosives Go?
I believe that it’s safe to say that most people understand what a missile looks like, and hopefully would not use them for any unintended purposes. Okay, maybe that last statement was off, but we all know what they look like. If you have watched a movie in the past ten years, there is a good chance you’ve seen one. Well, there are some people in this world that don’t have any idea how dangerous a missle can be. One of these people is a crazy old farmer in a Romanian village.

There’s a Prize Worth Winning
Only in West Virginia could a plan like this be devised and then implemented. A casino in Wheeling, West Virginia, will be giving away an entire tanker of gas to one lucky individual. I’m not that much of a gambling man, but if a tanker of gasoline is up for grabs, that might just turn me around! The tanker contains 9,000 gallons of fuel that the winner will be able to take home in the form of gift cards. Sorry guys, a real tanker isn’t given away. I know that some of you would like to have it in the event of the eminent zombie attack.

Aliens Throwing Things! Run For Cover!
A Bosnian man is claiming that he is being targeted by aliens. Meteorites have hit the man’s home five times and he sees no other explanation to this incredible phenomenon other than visitors from above sending these space rocks hurtling toward his house. No explanation is offered as to why the aliens would pick on this poor guy, but we can be certain that they are the ones responsible. Why else would this guy get hit five times when such an event is so very rare for everyone else?

Episode 53 – “Naked Belongs in the Bathroom”
Well, we have successfully completed another abs-fab episode of the eventually famous podcast Horseshoes and Hand Grenades! We had a pirate join us for tea at some point, and I think the Mad Hatter made an appearance. I don’t really recall either way, as I was drugged by an alien overlord before we started the show. Good news for you, the evil sloths at H & H managed to find how to become a woman in 20 minutes, how third graders planned to attack their teacher, and how a 31 year old woman planned on kidnapping her 17 year old WoW lover.

Good Grades For Sex and Money
A professor in Hamburg, Germany has been jailed for taking money and sex from students in exchange for good grades. I never knew that students could really be that desperate that they would fork out huge amounts of money just so they could pass. This professor evidently took in over $244,000 over the course of his teaching career. Students who were failing his class were given this option so that they could get their doctorate. What worries me is that there are doctors (of something) walking around in Germany that don’t really know what they’re doing! This just cannot stand!

Please Don’t Tease the Tribesman
London will be getting a few visitors from the great land of Tanzania the week of the 26-mile London Marathon. The unusual thing about these guys is that they are from “Deepest Darkest Africa” and haven’t had that many dealings with civilizations like that of the Brits. They have been instructed by the people looking after them that it is very important they do not attempt to hunt farm animals, and that underwear is a necessary garment. I never thought about this kind of thing before, but I guess it would be hard for one of these guys to turn off his usual instinct of hunting and gathering.

The Apocalypse Is…Not So Nigh Anymore
This is a follow up to the story posted earlier this week about those crazy Russians who were hiding out in the cave and waiting for the world to end. Well, it turns out that handful of those crazies weren’t crazy enough and decided to leave the cave after the roof of their makeshift hovel started to collapse. It sure looks like their fearless leader was right about the world ending, so long as the world was that cave. It has got to suck to think that you are safe from the apocalypse only to realize that the safest place you can be is outside your safehouse.

Let’s Read…Naked!
A whole bunch of German hippies are getting together today to read a book about being a nudist. The catch: they are all naked! The book they are reading is all about Naturism, which from what I gather is about natural stuff. Sounds simple right? It probably isn’t, but for the sake of this article, I’ll just take a few liberties and make up things. That’s what we do here after all! Continue reading “Let’s Read…Naked!”
