Sorry- couldn't help myself. Perhaps someone can explain exactly what is going on here.

Well....uh.... I'm not quite sure, but it looks pretty dangerous (remember...these are professionals...do not try this at home). What country do you think that is in?

I might have to do some Google searching

Peace,

By the time I finally figured out what it was a video of, I already guessed how it would end, and yet I still chose to watch it... Not a good sign.

... and yet I still chose to watch it...

Yes. And our dude clearly won! Gotta be worth sumthin' for the 1:45 of our time (invested 10 times by me so far).

This is in Mexico at the Carnival in the city of San Juan de la Vega. They also have other ~interesting~ things that they do, like this:

Seeing what other cultures do is a real eye-opener at times.

I work with a guy that knows about the things that this area does in celebration and he told me there is a lake in the area that someone drowns in almost every year during the festivities, and if nobody drowns in a particular year, they consider it a bummer time.

Go figure...

I want to go to a party with exploding hammers and guns, if one lives through the festivities, and doesn't have an anxiety attack, it might be a good time.
