Riley is Nervous

OK, so I was invited to play rugby with some new friends that are students at the University of Louisville. I've never played rugby but I thought that it would be a fun way to fellowship and get to know the guys better. They kept going on and on about their heroes of the sport, some team called the "All Blacks." They said I should look them up on You Tube and I followed their suggestion. Let's just say I am not as excited to play rugby on Friday as I was before I watched this video.



It's not that I don't like sports, it's just that at 30 years old, I play touch football now. I'm not sure if we will be playing touch rugby. In fact, I'm pretty sure that touch rugby doesn't exist. Furthermore, when I play football with friends, I try to use my swiftness to make plays. After watching a few rugby videos, it seems that being able to run over people is the best skill one could have.

I am fatter than I have ever been, so maybe the extra mass could help me run over any dwarfs that might be playing. On the whole, I am just a little nervous about playing this FULL contact sport. I'll let you know how it goes.

Friday's Porchin' It Video of the Week

Hey folks, sorry I am so late in getting you the video of the week. My blogging had to take a backseat to other responsibilities this week so I haven't been on the porch as much as usual. Don't fret, I'll be back in full effect next week. Here is the video of the week. It is a feel good story in honor of this wonderful time of year known as March Madness. Even if you don't like basketball, I am sure this story will touch your heart.

Friday's Porchin' It Video of the Week

Since Monday was St. Patrick's Day, my video this week is about a Leprechaun in Mobile, Alabama. Most of you have probably already seen this, but it is worth a second viewing, or if you are like me, a hundredth.


Don't forget the remix!


Full Disclosure: This is NOT my favorite video because I am making fun of the fine citizens of Mobile and their award winning news programing. I guarantee that if I was in Mobile and heard about this story, I would have also been standing right in the middle of that crowed looking for that Leprechaun!

Friday's Porchin' It Video of the Week

One of the things I am going to try to do here at Porchin' It is share some of my favorite videos with you. Maybe I will call this feature "Fun Friday" or something. Although, as you will see in future videos, sometimes it is only fun for the person watching (grape stomp lady...coming soon). Man, with grape stomp lady it isn't really even fun for me, but it just has to be seen.

Alright, alright, since today is the inaugural "Fun Friday" I am going to give you two videos. The first one is Chewbacca Man (I love taser videos) and since I have already mentioned it, I'll throw in grape stomp lady for free. Actually, as I think about grape stomp lady, I might need to change the title of this feature to Friday's Porchin' It Video of the Week. When you see grape stomp lady, you will know why. Nothing fun there. Be sure and keep the sound up on all videos that I post. Without further adieu, I give you Chewbacca Man.



And...



Lady Host: "Oh no, oh dear"
Man Host: "Oh boy, I think she's actually hurt there."
Lady Host: "No, I think she is."
Man Host: "Yeah, she's hurt"
Lady Host: "Youch"
Man Host: "She took a hard fall off there, boy"
Lady Host: "Ok"
Man Host: "Boy"
Man Host: "Gosh, I hope she's OK."
Lady Host: "OK"
Lady Host: "We're gonna make sure she is."
Man Host: "We'll try to check on her and get back to you as soon as we can."
Lady Host: "We'll be back right after this."
Lady Host: "Gee"
Riley: "WOW!"

And, because I love you...Grape Lady's Son (The actual title of this video).

Weird guy, little person, and trippin' on acid lady..Is everything really under control?

Well, after promising myself for a year that I would start a blog, here it is. Instead of a lengthy introduction, I want to jump right in.

This video was sent to me by Sam, a hunter who drives a big Ford truck and carries a large knife 16 hours a day (assuming he sleeps 8). Sam wears a Remington cap and wanted a deer stand for Christmas. Sam also loves 80's music and when he recently bought an iPod, the first music he uploaded was the "Rocky" soundtrack (for working out of course) and lots of 80's music.

I laughed really hard when I found out about Sam's love of 80's music because guys like him typically listen to Toby Keith and Brad Paisley (I want to check you for ticks). Sam was so amused by my reaction, he decided to send me a video that fully represents the aforementioned decade. I enjoyed it so much that I wanted to share it with you, my new readers...all two of you. Watch the whole thing and send me a comment if it made you laugh. Too bad they don't make videos like this anymore!



If this made you laugh, be sure to Porch It with me every once in a while. Sure, Rilo's Porch is a place where you can laugh, but I am also going to post on other more serious topics as well as try to connect you with other blog posts I find interesting. Nothing new here, but if you are interested in keeping up with me, this is a good place to start. I'm also on Facebook now.
