So THAT'S what that song is about!

While not one of my "Desert Island" tracks, I still have to admit that David Wilcox's "Layin Pipe" is a great song. The lyrics are what really get me, along with all the tongue in cheek innuendos and double entendres within.

I first heard this song when I was 13. It's embarrassing to admit, but for years I mistakenly thought the song was about sex! Turns out it's really about construction work!

Ah, the naivety of youth. To be that innocent again...

UPDATE! Donovan's most wanted!

Well friends, I'm a man of my word.

Ten of my own dollars are on route to my good friend Chris Shewel! And YOU could be next!!!

Last year, I posted a topic titled Wanted. Dead. Or Alive, in which I pleaded for assistance finding 3 videos on the web that had eluded my grasp.

It took 7 months of sleuthing, but Chris' dedication and hard work payed off. It is with great pleasure that I announce to you that the Man vs.. Beast - Takeru Kobayashi versus Diamond, the Kodiak Bear video has been located!

This was the video that I predicted would never be found. A video that is so stupendously ridiculous that I nearly became certain that it existed only in my imagination.

It was part of a ridiculous program on FOX (of course) titled "Man vs. Beast", in which humans were pitted against members of the animal kingdom in a variety of acts of prowess.

• Sumo versus Orangutan Tug of War
• Olympic Sprinter versus Giraffe and Zebra Race
• Navy Seal versus Chimp Obstacle Course
• Midgets versus Elephant Airplane Pull

Here's a description of the clip from my previous post:

By far, the highlight of the show involved an enormous Kodiak Bear participating in the Olympic sport of Hot Dog Eating. The bear is up against the current record holder in the Hot Dog Eating arena, a skinny runt by the name of Takeru Kobayashi. The match's highlight involves commentary from two sports anchors, who treat the events with the utmost gravitas while discussing the pros and cons of Kobayashi's Solomon method against the bear's less scientific "Eat two hot dogs at a time" method.

After the bear ate the proverbial pants off of the human, he posed atop the ring (yes, the competition took place in a wrestling ring), and celebrated his victory with an ear shattering roar. It is also remotely possible that the bear was oblivious to the contest, and was merely following his instincts to eat. It was hard to tell.

Well, the suspense MUST be killing you. I present to you now the greatest video shot since the Zapruder film - Kobayashi versus the Alaskan Cruncher!

How do those sportscasters manage to not lose it!!!

Stay tuned to the end of the video for this gem!
Still ahead! Place your bets! Who will win as 44 little people and an 8,800 pound elephant pull two DC-10s across the desert!

God bless American television! I've got 10 more dollars! Any takers?
