August 13, 2011 Blob Jumping

If you’re sitting there thinking, “What the heck is blob jumping?” you’re not alone, but seeing that the record was set in Cham, Switzerland, we’ll assume it’s how the Swiss get their kicks when not on the slopes. Holy Kaw

This is the craziest, most fun thing I've ever seen. Although I don't think I could be a jumper, but it looks like it would be fun to be the flyer.

The really bizarre thing is that there is even a Guiness category for something like this.

World Record Blob Jump, 24.6.11 Cham, Switzerland, 17 Metres (Guinness Approved). Guiness World Record Blob Jumps. Highest Blob Jump ever. Blob Weltrekord in Cham. YouTube

Go to YouTube to see it in action.

I saw something like tthis happen by accident on You've Been Framed (home video clips show). This was in the days before You Tube! It made me laugh so hard I couldn't breath. It was my favourite clip for years, until I saw the one of the cat knocking down the toddler.

Great that it's been made into an official sport.

Not as funny though.

Ah yes, I do remember that one! This one ranks equal due to (real I hope) sound effects.

The sneaking/freezing kitty is great! I've never seen it before.

I have loved the cat knocking down the kid for a long time - I used it as my avatar at another forum.

I love the sneaking kitty! That is such a great video. I love the timing.

BTW, how do you post a video?

Pick out the set of numbers and letters after the "v=" in YouTube URLs, highlight them and hit the YouTube button.

This is my favorite cat video - it is a composite (that includes the drumming kitty). I laugh myself to tears every time.



I did it! Thank you Undertoad!!
