1. My son and I just saw this on television last night...and laughed and laughed
until we couldn't take it anymore. The shoe cracks me up and also the fact that, after the first fall off he leaned on it to get up and did this little cross legged spin and fall off... Heeheehee

2. I'm about to pass out from laughing so hard!!!
Oh. My. God!!! :rofl:
(I had to turn off images just to post ;))

He loses his hat, too. And you just know it was his buddy at the computer that posted that to the intertubes! :P

4. Me too.
It's a sad world where a post of this importance can go un-commented-on by so many.

5. I suppose if you could find the clip from
the first episode of West Wing (I think that's the one) where CJ does something similar when checking her beeper. Then post it so it has some relevance for people here ;)

11. That one almost looks faked in some way.
The top of his arc flattens out, as if he's on wires and being swung further forward to hit the tables just right. Yeah, it may be real, but it still looks odd ;)

There seems to be some kind of (Don't try this at home) disclaimer in parenthesis at the end, too. Yeah, it looks like it says "Do not attempt. Controlled environment." Really! :P

16. That is unbearably funny. I am in tears. I love how he starts circling his arms as
he dives towards the table. I wonder what people at the table were thinking as he approached.



:rofl:

7. OMG, that's hilarious!
I bet it started with the guy betting he could out-pace the speed of the machine. :rofl:

14. After the slippers, my two favorite parts:
1. The way the treadmill launches him so that he's actually airborne when he strikes the wall.

2. The way the computer guy just sort of looks at him.

Love it!

9. I didn't think "family member on a treadmill" would be a cost-effective alternative fuel source
for the obvious reasons

10. ROFL, but you'd think he learn after the first time
or at least by the 10th! LOL

12. He keeps getting up for more punishment!
But, is he wearing something like a cup-dispenser for slippers? That would explain why he isn't seen putting them back on each time :P

13. Now there's an invention
Shoe dispensers, sort of the opposite of a Pez dispenser in that it is on the foot rather than the head.

Great idea! Just fill it up at the beginning of the week and you're good to go!
