This is a video of audiobook narrators Natalie Naudus and Marni Penning passing the time on a car trip, with Natalie requesting random different voices from Marni. I think it goes without saying, but this is a car trip we all wish we could have been on, making our own requests. What a hoot! For reference, I pass the time on long rides by constantly asking if we’re there yet until I’m forced to spend the rest of the trip in the trunk. From what my sister tells me, Disney World was awesome.

This is a video from self-proclaimed ‘Italian Raccoon Whisperer’ Jim Coniglione of 60+ raccoons swarming his porch as he feeds them in Glen Clove, New York. I didn’t count 60, but I also suck at counting, especially ninjas. Regardless, that is a lot of raccoons! You think he’s named them all? I mean you can hardly call yourself a raccoon whisperer if you can’t tell Rascal from Little Eddie. NOTE TO SELF: do not move next door to Jim Coniglione.

This is a video from Honolulu, Hawaii (I wish I was there right now) of a suspected drunk driver (although the driver has not been booked or charged yet, regardless, DON’T DRINK AND DRIVE) crashing into 17 parallel-parked cars while he sparks his way down Ala Wai Boulevard on bare rims, looking like a blazing meteor in the process. Obviously, if this was practice, Santa really needs to get his shit together before the big night.

This is a video of a man and his children knocking over a spiral of bricks set up like a domino run and listening to them fall. I liked all the hopping around they did too — I would have done the same thing. And not just because I donated a kidney and have to pee all the time, that’s just what I tell people so they don’t judge me while I relieve myself into a Gatorade bottle.

Seen here driving like a typical BMW owner, this is a video of a Romanian man getting the everliving shit t-boned out of his vehicle by a stationary light pole trying to evade the police while drunk and high on cocaine. “They were supposed to cancel each other out!” I imagine him trying to explain to the judge while representing himself in court, presumably drunk and high on cocaine again. Thankfully, nobody was seriously injured in the incident (a passenger would have been toast), which is incredibly fortunate. DON’T DRINK OR DRUG AND DRIVE. Everyone is already terrible enough at driving without adding any handicaps.

Seen here definitely looking the part, this is a video highlighting Italian pastry chef Nicolas Gentile, who is actively fulfilling his dream of living a Hobbit lifestyle in his hometown of Abruzzo, east of Rome. Nicolas is currently in the process of building his own Shire, complete with Hobbit holes inspired by the ones in the movies. To promote his project, he and a group of adventurers traveled some 250km (~155-miles) on foot to reach the peak of Mount Vesuvius, where he threw the One Ring into the volcano (seen in the video starting at 3:55). That’s cool. He also threw a birthday party for Bilbo Baggins, with some 400 other Italian Hobbits attending. For reference, that’s 400 more Hobbits than attended my last birthday party. “Humans too.” Honey! “What?” Why didn’t you come?!
