I'm not posting much this week, because I'm preparing for my big job interview on Thursday, but I did find this video, and it blew me away. It's long (nine minutes), but stick with it - I promise you that you will quickly find it hard to look away. This guy is AMAZING.
Here's the story - there's a game show in Japan called "Ninja Warrior" that pits contestants against a massive obstacle course (like American Gladiators, only we 'Mer'cans can't do anything like THIS). The guy you're about to see is only the second person out of 500 to complete it.

Oh yeah - mute your speakers, unless you like very loud Japanese sports commentary.
Love and sour cream ninjaladas for all!
Dude--as much as I stayed up sometimes every night to watch it, American Gladiators never seemed so lame as right now. That dude's a more-ripped Jackie Chan.
ReplyDeleteI bet the Ninja Warriors don't have the skintight flag-colored jumpsuits, though. We Americans are good at somethin'.
Yes, we are astonishingly good at the jumpsuits. And bacon.
ReplyDeletePerhaps that's why American Gladiators was cancelled - they ran out of names. When your musclebound spandex monsters can only come up with names like Shaky, Drysocket, and Turkey Jerky...well, they stopped being so intimidating.
This guy is just some dude, tryin' ta be a ninja, like the show asks.
Simple. Elegant. Deadly.
