Rage and the X Games

i ate dinner with some friends last night and afterword we ended up playing a card game called Rage. it is a cross between Rook, Spades, and Sabacc (a popular card game in the Star Wars universe). quite fun, and a great way to get pissed at your friends. an added bonus is that the directions are in German...sprechen ze deutsch?

i always look forward to watching the X Games on ESPN. whether you are or aren't into skateboarding, bmx biking, motocross, or rally racing, the collective amount of guts that it takes to do what these guys and gals do continues to amaze me. Travis Pastrana capped off last night's action with the first double backflip on a motorcycle in X Games history. He also won gold in the rally racing segment today (my friend Jason would be jealous).
