Annual MIT Piano Drop
The event of this post's title occured a few days ago.However, because the drop is now an anticipated, regular event, it cannot possibly compare with the excitement of the very first one!

The Show-Off
I suspect that most WU readers will identify with the bad boy, rather than with the prissy narrator here.

Co-ed Pig Wrestling
As Mr. Skip Peterson tells us: "This is an annual fund raiser held in Buffalo, Wyoming, for a local gymnastics team. Contestants have one minute to get the greased hog, butt first into the barrel. The coed team must also dip their hands into a bucket of Crisco before the game begins. The winning time this year was 7.45 seconds. Every team had a freash pig and each pig was only allowed to participate one time. Enjoy!"2008 Coed Pig Wrestling Championships from skip peterson on Vimeo.

Freddy Flossisaurus
Cheap stuffed puppet: $10.00
Fake dentures from gag shop: $5.00
Toothbrush: $1.00
Total cost of teaching device: $16.00, max. And that's paying retail!
So why does Freddy Flossisaurus cost $316.00 at this medical-supply site!?!
[edit: checking back in 2012, it appears that Freddy is sadly no longer for sale. So I removed the link. -Alex]

Curfew Breakers, or, Hooked
If you decide, after viewing the CURFEW BREAKERS clip, to rent this film, you'll have to look for it on DVD under its alternate title, HOOKED. It's a glorious mess, but not quite as outrageously stupid or weird as some of its ilk.

Saran Wrap Race
If you must mummify yourself in plastic wrap and hop about, do so on a soft grassy surface.
