That thread about the WoW theme park made me go look on Youtube.  Once on there, a couple clicks in I was watching Japanese people playing soccer with binoculars strapped to their eyes: http://youtu.be/-rRK7vlBG8A.  I thought for sure, that's the craziest sport thing I'm going to see today.  But two clicks later I was watching some guys do amazing things on a trampoline: http://youtu.be/Fa6pwcAIDaQ.

The first video is zany, the second is insane!  Also, in the second the hip hop song that's playing mentions hockey and Wayne Gretzky.  So maybe hockey is seeping into the American psyche...

Yeah but there's people there that wear Kings hats because it fits with their ensemble, not because they have any clue as to who the Kings are...

OR IT COULD BE THAT THERE ARE HOCKEY FANS living in LA

Both are equally possible.

Hell there are soccer fans in LA (Galaxy), they certainly know who Beckham is and what he bends (hint, not a water, earth, air OR fire bender)

But they don't typically spit out lyrics, now, do they?

Anyway, THE TRAMPOLINING IS COOL, check the second vid :)

If I can resist watching any of the Nerdist KITH playlist, you can resist --

aw who am I kidding? Of course you are powerless to resist... go on, you know you want to... [/Hecubus "EVIL!" laugh]

at the very least you can learn about optimal tea-brewing. etc. <-- oops! that wasn't even at the "IncredibleThings.com website!
