Merrell in the Morning Video of the Day

What do you get when you custom build a chainsaw powered by a 253 V8 engine?  You get a mean machine that I would love to see at the Texas Forest Festival.

You see a waterspout forming in the bay while joyriding with some friends in a boat.  What do you do?

I'm a huge fan of Texas/Red Dirt Music.  There are quite a few Texas-based artists that have broken through and are making their name known through this niche, such as the Josh Abbott Band, Cody Johnson, Kyle Park, and Randy Rogers, just to name a few.

I have a hard time sitting through a 30 second commercial, but this commercial is around 5 minutes long and I watched it all.  Then after drying the tears, I watched it again. This is beautiful and heartbreaking and heartwarming, and it's the Merrell in the Morning Video of the Day.

It's a rather uncommon event for tornadoes to occur in Italy.  Maybe that explains why the person that shot the video of this tornado footage ignored one of the biggest no-nos when it comes to being safe in a tornado.

As we wind down the last few days before Father's Day, I've decided the remaining VOD's will be about dad.  Some videos might make you laugh or cry or be amazed...this video will do all three.  Check out this great Father of the Bride speech.

Never speak the words, "We're safe from that bear, the car door is closed"....see why.

On one hand I'd like to know just how crazy you have to be to even come up with the idea of turning your Laz-y-Boy into a motorized vehicle.  But, then on the other, this guy's gotta be a genius to actually make this thing work.

One day, this kid should be President of the United States. This junior high band is doing a good job of playing our National Anthem, when all of sudden, equipment failure on the only set of cymbals.  What would you or your kid do?  Hopefully, the same thing this kid does on our Merrell in the Morning video of the day.

"He's not dumb enough to do this with me standing right behind him".  That's what a police officer was thinking when he saw a convenience store robbery playing out in front of him.

When watching this video several obvious questions come to mind: Why in the world is a dachshund in this lion's den?  Does the lion's mouth really taste that good?  Is the dog's name Chuck Norris?

The pictures, the videos, the stories...in a word - heartbreak.  One of the worst tornadoes in history flattened homes, businesses, and in-session schools.  So, with all the devastation, the light shines even brighter on the good things that happen.
