and the broken glass. so now what are you going to carry out of that tiny little opening? >> as krm number one goes in, number two slam it is again -- >> and knocks the shelf over on the other guy. what are you trying to steal from a hobby store? are you just into that making models? >> i guess it's part of having a business and part of retail. it's what we pay insurance for. hopefully they get caught, we'll see. >> the guys like to worm through the hole and the broken glass, he probably got bloody fingerprints all over the place that the police are using for prime evidence to track their guy. i want you guys to listen to a play-by-play by current reporter, stewart dice. >> bad guy number two gives it one more ram and pow -- doh! >> homer simpson. >> i love you, stewart smith. >> no, that was my miss tath.

mistake. >> that's stewart dyson. this is from a couple of snowboarders in huntsville, utah. they're having a good time until they get pulled over for speeding by the ski patrol. snowboarder had his pass taken away. >> you saw you got a speedometer on your snowboard, if they're handling their boards correctly and appropriately, how is he to say it's too fast. >> they're stopped in the middle of the slope. >> when you see this conversation you're going to see why people are reacting to this video. >> this is a slope up there. it's slope skiing. >> it wasn't that side. >> do you want your pass? >> i don't. >> shut your [ bleep ]. >>. wow, you're harassing us because we're young. >> quite an argument goes on between them. but at one point, one of the ski patrol guys who drops the f-bomb apologizes. >> shut the [ bleep ] up.

>> i apologize. >> that was way too far. >> all right. well the guy did apologize. >> and if there is a slow sign above where ey are at, they need to respectthat. because it can get veryo got mo 100,000 views. >> snow basin had to post their comments at facebook. they said we at snow basin resort had an incident for which we received much-deserved criticism. we have taken measures to prevent this incident from occurring in the future. we strive to exceed the expectations of everyone visiting our resort. >> this made a pr mess for them. >> right after this happened, somebody took a picture of it and put "shut your f-ing mouth" on facebook. one of the criticisms that the ski patrol had for the two snowboarders is that one of the guys did a jump right there near one of the patrollers. you know, it's the jump. ha did he expect him to do, walk

over it? >> he barely even got off the ground. >> you want your pass? >> i don't, but -- >> shut your [ bleep ] mouth. >> wow! the uk is covered in the white stuff that isn't coming from the sky. this is sea foam that's created by the sea and it is massive amounts of sea foam. these are two drivers that are driving through the foam and you can hear them arguing trying to figure out what are we going to do. >> this was a bad idea. >> you said cool fever. >> i didn't. >> this cannot be good for your car. talk about rusted out your body. >> one person's car was pushing it, almost like a snowplow. you know, i bet you if you put on some thumping dance music. a big old phone parfoam party o there. >> the thing i love about it is the wind is picking up the foam, so it looks like it's snowing,

it's falling from the sky. this will be awesome on a four-wheeler, if it wasn't december. >> it looks like you're driving through a car wash. remember the car wash where you sit in the car? >> we don't have those. >> remember back in the old days when they had car washes and you go through it? >> wasn't that just last friday? >> you know what i also learned from the video? that back seat drivers are just as annoying in the uk as they are here. >> they sound smarter because of the accent. an ohio mom is very upset over what happened in this dash cam video. there's a dark shadowy figure with his hands up and you hear the officer say -- [ indiscernible ] >> this person is a 16-year-old boy and the gun in his hand is a toy gun.

we got the story from wcmh in columbus, ohio, the neighborhood where the dash cam video was shot received complaints four nights in a row of gunshots. this policeman was there to make sure that everything was okay. he saw this teen running with what looked like a gun. he was about 75 feet away from the actual cop car. and the officer pulled his weapon. >> he told me that to turn around and put the gun down. >> the mother is incredibly upset because this was her 16-year-old son. and she says, that the officer acted inappropriately. >> i couldn't believe that they would pull a gun on a 16-year-old child. >> could he even tell it was a teenager? it was dark, he saw what looked like a gun. if i'm the cop i see somebody running with a gun in a neighborhood where shots have been fired. i would say, hey, put up your hands, let me see what's going on. >> this teen was playing with other local teens, late at night, snowing, dark, and they were wearing ski masks.

>> they were playing? >> they were playing, you know, and it was obvious what they were doing. they're plastic, they're see-through. >> no, it's not obvious, when it's dark like that, it's kind of hard to tell. >> the cop has no idea that that's what the kid is carrying. >> and he can't take the chance to find out it's not a toy gun. >> we talked to the johnstown police department and they agreed that this officer did act appropriately in this situation. >> this is not a good idea. >> okay. >> this kid just got guns pointed at him over these. >> you guys know me for a while now, you know that nothing makes me mad, that burns me up more than spelling mistakes. like, this youtube video. look. >> what's wrong? >> grammar is spelled incorrectly. y

y-o y-o-u-r is your. >> he doesn't anyone necessarily have a problem with the mistakes, but he has a problem with the people who correct them. >> but you point out these mistakes and then you correct it? to what it should be? you're implying that you know what i meant. because how could you know what you would change it to, if you didn't know what i meant. now it seems that the thing that is hindering our communication is you being an [ bleep ] hole. because when i right your a good person, and you correct the your to a you're, you miss one other thing, which is that you're an [ bleep ] hole. >> next time you're talking with someone and they say, there's a tree, say to them, oh, which "there" did you mean.

>> he's talking about a dialogue when in reality spelling doesn't really matter, as long as you're saying things the right way. >> my website is on the internet, it's an informal place, we don't need to bring grammar into this thing. >> i'm going to read your blog and think this guy didn't go to school. >> i know the internet is an informal place, but you could still spell stuff right. >> should people pay more attention to grammar online? let us know at facebook.com\rightthisminute. firefighters risk their lives on the way to a call. now they're in hot water with their boss. we've got the story behind the surfing goat. who is also a serious do-gooder. and this certainly looks dangerous. >> this guy's in masterful control of this large truck. >> the debate on that, when we come back. cçrrú

welcome back to the show. but don't forget to check in at rightthisminute.com. great videos all day long. on christmas morning while most of us were either sleeping or opening gifts this guy decided to go to school. but not exactly with scholastic intentions. >> oh, no. >> this is in new summerfield, texas, at the high school. this guy broke into the school, spent 24 minutes doing $35,000 worth of damage to his school. >> what do you steal in a school, you know? books? computers? >> i guess maybe computers, but he was in there to do damage. >> he ended up stealing some cash and a laptop. >> he's using the fire extinguisher to break the windows and then he's just for fun, i think -- breaking them

off. >> any idea of who this guy is? >> police released this video to try to identify him. they have no idea who he is. they believe he may be a former student because he seems to know how to get his way around the school. after doing all the vandalizing, he did take time to go back and turn the lights off. >> that's weird. >> how considerate of him, right? >> i'm imagining he thought that would draw attention, if people saw lights on at the school. i would think he's trying to cover his tracks. >> if and when this guy is caught, he's facing burglary of a building and federal mischief charges. >> we see one last surveillance shot of him jumping over a fence and getting away. firefighters have to make judgment decisions every time they leave the fire station, at the time me what you think about this? this is in melbourne, australia, you see a fire truck enter some

floodwaters, and the water goes past -- more than halfway up the windshield. you see a couple of firefighters duck out the back, there's still firemen in the cab of the fire truck. i think you can hear the sirens kind of drowning out. >> the sound literally was drowned out. >> you heard it at the beginning, it was like woo woo -- blub, blub. >> they're on their way to a call, it was the quickest way from point a, to point b, then maybe yeah, it is the right call. >> the quickest way from point a to point b and then they get stuck in the water and they don't get there to rescue the person from the car accident or the wreck or whatever the call was. >> did they make it to their destination? >> they did. just watch again, i mean talk about the truck being flooded. the driver opened the door to let the water out. >> oh, wow.

the country fire authority, which is what they call the fire service in australia, suspended the driver and is considering punishing the entire fourman crew. the driver was an experienced driver. but the driver said they misjudged the street sign. they looked at what they thought was the depth of the water but once they started going in, it got deep. and they made a mistake. regret their decision to drive through. the video has gone viral in australia and is spreading throughout the world. and it's now what not to do when driving through floodwaters and the driver made a bad decision. what do we love around here? viewer submissions. absolutely and this one comes from c.k. garcia. she said her cat is on the floor with a grocery bag. this cat had a bit of a problem. aw, man! >> he got stuck in the handle.

>> and it can't walk forward because it's standing on the other half of the bag. >> i like how the cat reasons, hey, i have to go back into the bag and get my head back through the hole. but it just can't do it. >> then the cat trapped in the bag. >> this is a cat trapped in the bag. >> is it sending its laser green eyes at the owner saying help me. but instead, she grabbed the phone because she thought it was funny. >> in this case, cat's not out of the bag. >> yeah, the cat's in the bag. >> i say tk, thanks for sharing that, that's pretty darn funny. it's time for -- >> an "rtm" shout-out with beth and steven. >> hey, cincinnati. >> thumb's up. >> we asked you the other day to watch a full hour of our show, and did you it. >> yup, you did it and you're coming through for us. so -- >> thanks, cincinnati! and erin leery, chelsea and kaitlyn, keep on spreading the

word. >> you guys are awesome. >> now, back to our show. this year's resolution start off normal. eat healthier, go tohe gym, and then -- >>he his new year's resolution started taking a very interesting twist. >> meet the guy and hear the story behind some of his interesting resolutions. and -- >> who would like to say something. >> hear what he has to say, and what our own scrooge has to say about it, later. b?úxú#ú#ú/ú/

the remember the story where they stole the christmas turkey off the table? well this ferret named freddie has the same thing in mind. as you can see, freddy is on the floor, and freddy really wants to get what they're calling a chicken, although it looks like a turkey. he tries to climb up. you think he's going to -- no, he falls. you think he's going to make it, he keeps going up! just when you think he's on the brink of getting up there, he falls again. >> it's like a ladder. he's using the drawers like a little ladder. >> each time he tries he gets closer. >> is this a raw chicken? >> it's raw. >> so freddy is going to get salmonella? >> but freddy will not be denied. >> he keeps trying. >> oh! >> i didn't think that was going to happen.

>> freddy! >> he should let freddy have the chicken, because freddy tried so many times and succeeded and he just jerked the chicken out of his mouth. have you guys ever heard of a tank-slapper? >> like a military tank? >> no, like a vehicle that has a full tank of gas. and if it goes around a corner, that gas sloshes and it will make the car slide or you know, cause it to spin. it's called a tank slapper. it's called a tank slapper. look at this tanker truck back and forth. now at first i thought wow, this truck is out of control. it's going to crash. but i realized that the driver of this is purposely doing this. >> why? >> to get on "right this minute," obviously. >> see how reckless this is? he has a giant tankful of gas, liquid night rotrogenitrogen. >> what's in there? >> we know he's not carrying around avion. he's got something in there.

>> what's that in. >> evian water or some kind of filtered water. >> i might say that the tank is empty. >> but then you're not doing a tank-slapper, because there's nothing in there to slap. >> why are you doing the pitch at all if it's a tank-slapper? i was trying to educate you guys on what a tank-slapper is. maybe there's nothing in the back of it. maybe there's no empty or full gauge on the back of the tank. >> he'sen a two-lane road. >> and the other thing you've got to think about is if someone is in the opposite direction, how does he get this thing under control. >> it's a two-lane road. >> you guys are all about the what-ifs and the worst-case scenarios. this guy is in masterful control of this large truck. >> that doesn't look like masterful control. bye-bye beardie. >> beardie?

♪ ♪ >> it is new year's resolution time and i like every year. we all write them down and forget them. and -- >> well this guy, ross everett came up with a clever way of remembering all the resolutions he came up with and keep them. >> ever are i year i make new year's resolutions that i intend on keeping, but for the life of me i can't remember one from last year. that's why this year i'm making them on video. here we go. resolution number one. eat healthier. number two, don't be touchy about how healthy you're eating. four, go to the gym or cancel your gym membership. >> this is where his resolutions take an interesting twist. >> ten, get a girlfriend. don't [ bleep ] this up. >> 14, stop smothering her. >> 15 of course she loves you. >> 16, if there wasn't another guy before, there certainly is now. >> 17, calm down, maybe it's nothing, show up to her house and say what's up. >> i love this guy.

relief. but i showed up to an ex-girlfriend's house and there was like her ex-boyfriend was there. hanging out and i was like, well, this is awkward. >> and i was going to say it one more time, i love you, i said it 46 times watching the video, i love you. i love this guy. >> dude, you may have just landed your 2012 girlfriend now. it was on your list. >> let's do it! >> thank you so much for taking the time all the way from los angeles, to chat with us. >> shoor, no problem. this is a funny show, you guys, everybody out there watching right now, take notes. >> to see all 50 new year's resolutions, head over to rightthisminute.com. next time on "right this minute" -- she hates the cub, they love flowers, kids caught on video take to the internet. now the mom responds, next time on "right this minute." what's about to happen. what oh what is about to happen? whatever you're guessing is probably wrong.

hello, everybody, i'm beth troutman, this is the show that finds the best videos for you so you don't have to. it's a brand-new year and this is a brand-new edition of "right this minute." a woman is dragged around a parking lot, during a brutal mugging. hear why cops are worried for other women. video of a surfing goat goes viral. but all that fame didn't go to old goat head. >> now hear the serious story behind the man, his goat and how they're helping feed the world.

this guy pulls a simple prank that's simply perfect. he talks about the people walking by him. >> they're here now. and race fans line up, but -- >> instead of gentlemen start your engines, gentlemen -- start your elephants! >> better hang on to your hide for this one. we're going to begin this half hour of our show with more surveillance footage, this time beth has the story. >> this video shows us how important it is for us to be aware of our surroundings in a parking lot this video was captured in a parking lot in tampa shopping center. the woman you see there. here's another angle of the video. the car that drove past her grabbed her purse and dragged her 40 feet. >> some guy came ott of the window and grabbed her purse. >> she suffered injuries to her legs, her arms and her face.

a truck driver nearby saw this go on, called the police and the police realized, hey, this car is stolen. but an officer in the area saw the car, tried to do a traffic stop, the car truck off and crashed, but a canine unit in the car ran after two of the suspects, it found one holed up in a vacant apartment, he was arrested and the other suspect is is still on the loose. this isn't the first time this has happened. this was the third incident. >> at the same place? >> not in the same place, one happened in a walmart parking lot. another one happened in a shopping mall parking lot. where women were walking through the parking lot and their bags were snatched. >> i don't know what this woman could have done differently. >> she did do the right thing by letting go of her purse, that could have ended up much, much differently. steven you've lived in areas where there's lots of trees, you go through narrow roads,

two-lane roads, all trees, you get stuck behind the slow truck -- you got to get around him. you're stuck therefore ever. just like this drive is. stranded behind this slow truck. peeking around. you cn't tell what'sboy. >> a car comes past. >> you know, drops the hammer. i thought the road was like a loose gravel road. the back wheels just lose traction on the road and he does a little pirouette. >> it happened instantly. i'm going to try to get around this guy. as soon as he starts hitting the gas, the dude is on the shoulder. it looks like the road is kind of cut up there. this isn't the nicest road to begin with. >> what happens when you're impatient, nick? you got to say -- >> i don't know what you got to say.

during times of war journalists face so many dangers being on the field, well now in the age of social media, that risk also extends to citizen journalists like this one. this video was taken by citizen journalists basel in syria. we can hear a lot of activity, we hear gunshots and we basically see what seems to be a sweater and then nothing but aud audio. he was gunned down by security force who is were shooting at protesters. basel apparently was one of their more aggressive citizen journalists and he was one that was able to capture a lot of the footage that most citizen journalists and journalists were never able to capture. >> what do we know about what happened to basel after he was gunned down? >> the reason i'm showing you

this video is this is the last video that was shot by basel. because he was shot and did dilator at a hospital. >> do we know who ended up posting this footage? >> he was known by the community of activists in syria. and once they realized what had happened, they took his camera and they, his friends, ended up loading this video on to youtube later on. >> we're so outraged in this country when we see police using pepper spray or rubber bullets. i imagine being in a country where protesting can get you shot and killed. >> i want to show you guys another journalist. his name is joe silva, he's from brazil. during a report in afghanistan of october of 10,epping on a la lost both of his legs. >>. [ speaking foreign language ] >> nobody was hurt in that explosion but him. >> so as he was laying down on the floor, he did actually

manage to capture those three photographs that you're seeing there. fortunately he did survive. after one year of recovery he's back to work. >> doing what? >> a passion for your job. you guys remember the phrase, yeah, i'll do that when pigs can fly. >> yeah. >> how about when goats can surf? meet goat, the surfing goat. the videos of her surfing hit the internet in november. and made national headlines. but all that fame didn't go to goat-ee's head. her and her owner, dana mcgregor. she lives in dana's back yard, they are now giving back. now you can give a goat and get a goat t-shirt. they are helping to raise money to buy other goats for families around the world who need them. like in mozambique. which is great, because goats

provide plenty of milk to drink and also sell. and goats produce two offspring a year. you can tell that dana and goat-ee are best of friends. he's got her on a swing here. >> that's my favorite part. a night out on the town. what's funny is that dana used to live in africa. he said we used to eat goats all the time and dana originally got a goatee because he had a problem with weeds and he bought a goat to clean up the weeds. then they became best of friends. >> even if i would wear the goat-ee t-shirt. i would still want one because somebody else is getting a goat. let's talk babies. human babies, puppies, kittens, polar bear cubs. >> yes, polar bear cubs. we're showing you more than one.

we'll show you the cute bundles of fluff coming up. and why is a guy on a phone so funny? >> you'll just have to wait and see. b?úxú#ú#ú/ú/

you know what the cutest thing in the world? >> babies. >> oh, yeah. >> human babies, puppies, kittens, polar bear cubs. >> aw. >> especially when they're twins? >> what is it about baby polar

bears that makes them so cute? >> they look like white fluff balls and you want to grab them and squeeze them. >> i would like to get in there and play with those guys before they become gigantic. >> these two bear cubs are in china, they're only two months old, i would have to go visit them soon. these guys are about 10 kilograms and stand about 65 centimeters. >> one little guy was like get me on camera putting his face in the lens. i think he licked the lens. >> it's feeding time they have these bottles and he's like, i can hold it myself. let go. i can hold it. >> now they're tv stars, hope they don't get big-headed. >> or get like the kardashians, get married, get divorced. grandma gets her groove on. ♪ ♪

♪ ♪ i don't know if you guys know this, but not a day goes by where beth doesn't say -- gosh, i just wish i could balance on a uni cycle. i always wanted to do that. have no fear, beth, because now you can. the guys from m.i.t., super-genius stephen created a home-made self-balancing unicycle. he's a computer science major. he calls it a bullet. >> is it electric? >> yeah. >> now it looks like he's holding, it's connected to some sort of cord he's using to make it go. he says it goes up to 15 miles

per hour, according to stephen, it only took him several hundred dollars to build. >> how does it stabilize itself? >> when other people try it, it doesn't look like it's so easy. this girl gets on and she's not so great at balancing herself. this man in the red long johns tries it and he's pretty terrible at it. so i read a little bit about it on stefan's why the. apparently he's figured out how it can balance so you don't fall forward or backward. but you can still kind of fall side to side. >> it takes the fun out of a unicycle, you know, the whole challenge is to try to pedal it and go and steer. because you end up doing this while you're going around and you got your arms. >> if you want to make your own, stefan published a kit list of how to do it on his website, stefanboyer.com.

it's funny how they create things like this in their spare time in their dorm. we thought it was cool when we hooked up a cd player up in our bathroom. oh, whoa, we can listen to music while we're here. now you're just a few minutes away from the end of the show and spending a lot of time on our favorite website, say it with me now -- rightthisminute.com! rightthisminute.com! now back to the show. talk about being on cloud nine. >> well, it's like cloud nine and this guy is the man making it happen. and if you think teddy the porcupine is a messy eater. >> you have some corn?

welcome back to the show. with you don't forget to check in at rightthisminute.com. great videos all day long. this is scott, he is 26 years old and he is an air canada flight from calgary to toronto. and he's about to propose to his girlfriend of three years, 30,000 feet in the air. they've lived in different cities so they've flown back and forth to see each other for their entire relationship. so he emails her a fake itinerary to make they are think he was going somewhere else. >> she doesn't know he's on the

plane. >> we have a special passenger who would like to say something. >> look his chest -- so nervous. >> you're the love of my life, i guess there's just one more question to ask -- [ applause ] >> here we go. i think this is lame. >> who cares about -- i don't care if somebody is getting engaged. >> oh, my god. >> it's not romantic at all. you're in a tube. >> you need to stop being a scrooge. >> it only makes sense that their union would start on a plane, in between their two cities. >> they spent enough time on planes trying to see each other. enough with the planes. this meant something to them.

and really, at the end of the day, that's all that matters. [ applause ] last week, we told you about the puppy wolf. >> i want you to behold the awesome cuteness of the wolf puppy. >> what i thought was a puppy wolf learning how to bay, from a laptop. i think these people have a wolf puppy as a pet and they're playing wolf-baying to the moon and he's mimicking the sound. >> we think this is a real wolf? >> it looks like a wolf pup to me. >> beth was the only one who questioned whether or not that was a wolf. and beth, according to one of our viewers is right and this video is actually two years old and is a pomeranian that looks like a wolf. we should have known that. >> of course, duh. >> i don't know what a wolf puppy looks like. so i thought the video we had that said wolf pup.

i said i know people who keep wolves as pets, but it's not a wolf puppy. it's a pomeranian who looks like a wolf. >> the poorn thinks they're going to come and eat me. >> this is a pomeranian puppy listening to a wolf howling on a computer and he mimics it. that makes it even cooler. >> he's like, they're going to come and get me, i better try to fit in. [ howling ] >> i'm just like you guys, i'm not like a little snack. >> we've learned a couple of things from this. number one, i was wrong, this isn't a wolf pup, it's pomeranian, but it's really cute. >> that means we've learned that gayle can be wrong. >> all the time. >> just don't tell my future husband. >> what we do know, guys, we're all in agreement on, this dog's real cute. >> heck yeah. sometimes hilarious pranks are just so simple. our friend jack veil from

sacramento -- [ screaming ] >> here he comes, he's walking by now in the white shirt and the black tie. yeah. >> who, me? >> hi there, what's up? >> me? >> i'm sorry. >> white shirt, black tie? >> i don't, sorry? >> they're walking together, he's, sunglasses and the other guy has a hat on. but -- >> here she comes in a brown shirt, she's walking now. yeah, they're looking at the collars and the leashes and things like that. >> so basically what jack is doing, he's got his cell phone and he's in different parts of the town and he just talks about the people who are walking by him. >> i honestly thought the girl was going to engage him in some way. like last time he got a sucker punch. >> jack's got a pair on. i want to know the adrenaline he feels when people are looking at him and about to approach him.

he's got to get pumping a little bit. >> hello! >> yeah, they're here now. she's rubbing lotion all over her arm. >> it feels good, too. >> she said -- it feels good. she got her hand up on her face. she just looked at me. >> i want to go and do this prank, all you need is a cell phone. >> he's got some pretty good ideas, elegantly funny. simple fun. >> how would you react, would you get creeped out by somebody if they were watching you? >> i have no idea. if i were standing in the store and the phone rang and it was for somebody else. i was like what? you watch "right this minute"? gentlemen, start your elephants. woo hoo! >> this one's going to choose from.

heard we've heard of hungry hippos. how about happy hippos? i want you to meet the happiest of the hippos, this is a little pygmy hippo, hannah. >> kicking around with david begham. getting a little head-scratch, i love that, too. >> she's an incredibly happy hippo. she was rescued from the back yard of a california doctor. now, believe it or not, she has plenty of food and plenty of water for drinking, but there was no actual water in the guy's back yard so she could submerge. she was rescued by the fund for animal wildlife center in ramona, california. let me show you another little video of hannah. after hannah was rescued, she hadn't been in a pool in a while. they get hannah the hippo a new pool. >> i think she went swimming. >> she's probably looking for somebody to play marco polo with. >> got a little race video for

you. nick, i know you'll like this. instead of gentlemen, start your engines, it's gentlemen, start your elephants. the eighth edition of the international elephant race in a national park in nepal. you've got 20 elephants and cabs participating in this year's recent competition. the nepal tourism board promotes competition and the aim is to promote tourism in the region. >> these elephants can move. >> i like racing, i don't like seeing majestic animals doing stupid things. i don't like circuses and i don't like bears riding bicycles. >> but i think these elephants are not doing this every day. it's a once-a-year kind of thing. it's like the kentucky derby kind of racing, they've got them painted up. the reason they're all painted up is this whole thing is part of an elephant festival, prior to the race, the elephants

participate in a cuty contest. >> a little showman ship and then we'll see if you can really move out. steven, we couldn't do our first show of 2012 without our favorite video guest. >> i think who you're talking about. >> yeah. >> teddy bear the porcupine. >> happy new year, teddy. >> he says happy new year. >> he partied a little too hard, went to a corn party. >> he says back off. >> back off, don't take my corn. >> i like how the hat on his head makes his hair look all disshelved. it really looks like he was partying a little too much. >> uh-oh!
