(I just got my second shot so I'm hanging out at home watching tv down in the Discovery / SCI / History Channel zone....)
On one of these goofy shows I just watched a camel race with dozens of camels galloping down this giant racetrack somewhere in a mid-East desert.
They take their camel racing very seriously down there, so they require very lightweight jockeys.
Apparently, it used to be common to steal small kids from Asian countries and enslave them into the camel riding racket. But that got outlawed in 2002.
So now they mount little robots on the camels. Dress them up like little jockeys. Most of these robots are homemade and incorporate washing machine motors. All the robots have to do is spin a whip around and keep whacking the camel at different speeds, depending on what's happening during the race.
So while the race is going on and the little robots tied to the camels are flogging way, the camel owners have to drive beside the camels (they can run up to 40 mph) and operate the robot jockeys by remote control.
So from the air you see a racetrack full of camels and on two specially built adjacent side roads, a bunch of SUV s weaving around with shouting dudes hanging out the windows pointing little antennas at their respective camel. Utter mayhem.
(You can't say you have really lived until you have hookahed 7 grams of Red Lebanese hash, gotten into a brand new Jaguar SUV and played demolition derby with your pals while speeding after your remote controlled robot camel jockey before jetting off to Dubai for drinks, can ya?)

I saw a tiny ad in the weekly Shop-Rite circular for a product that answers, "No!" to the question: "Too soon?"
Joan of Arc Mini Toasts
it's like something you'd hear mentioned in a Monty Python sketch. Or pitched by Dan Akroyd on an old SNL.

The highlight of my world wide web experience today was looking at an image with Len Dawson of 1963 Kansas City Chiefs' fame smoking a cigarette in the locker room during Halftime of the Superbowl..
