Vic Kleman is a roller coaster fan.  Technically, he’s a member of the Roller Coaster Enthusiasts, a group that basically travels around and rides roller coasters wherever they might be found.  Vic, from Knoxville, Tennessee, is 78 years old, but he doesn’t let his advanced age slow him down.  When he read that it was the 90th anniversary of the Jack Rabbit roller coaster at Kennywood Park in West Mifflin, Pennsylvania, he knew what he had to do.  He drove up to the Pittsburgh-area park and rode the same roller coaster 90 times in a single day.

Impressively, this brings Vic Kleman’s total number of rides on Jack Rabbit to a staggering 4,000.  Kleman’s been riding the Jack Rabbit, a wooden roller coaster featuring two dips, no weird gimmicks, and an 85-foot drop, since 1959.  On a normal visit, he rides it 20 times, so he has had plenty of practice and was prepared to ride the Jack Rabbit 90 times in honor of its 90th anniversary.  Hope he took his Dramamine!

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
