First off, have you heard of ChatRoulette.com? If not, brace yourself because you’re in for one crazy ride.
ChatRoulette.com was created by Andrey Ternovskiy, a 17-year-old high school student in Moscow, Russia. He got the idea from messing around on video chats onSkype and then created the program in less than three days.
He got the name ChatRoulette after watching The Deer Hunter, a 1978 film set in the Vietnam War in which prisoners of war are forced to play Russian roulette.
Unlike most new websites, ChatRoulette.com took off quickly and once South Park aired a parody of it on season 14 episode “You Have 0 Friends” it became huge.
But with it’s new found popularity also came…well, a bunch of dicks!
No seriously, the odds were like one in ten that you were going to meet someone who wasn’t jerking it.
But now there is hope. With a new system in place that works when three users have complained about the same participant within five minutes, that user is then banned from the service for 10–40 minutes.
So this hopefully will get rid of all the dicks, but not all the awesomeness!
Below are some crazy videos showing you how creative people can be on ChatRoulette…Enjoy! Also, if you have tried out ChatRoulette before and have a crazy moment to share, don’t be shy, comment below.

Everyone can, but not everyone will. When the moment comes chances are you will either crap your pants and freeze up, or go for the glory and give it all you’ve got; there is no in between. Either you own it, or you lose it! I’ve met people who go for it all and others who will probably never make even the slightest of attempts.
Then there’s this classy cat named Jeremy Fry.
While attending a Celtics Basketball game in 2009 Jeremy was sitting in his seat waiting for the timeout to get over and the game to continue.
Now, I know from my experiences working NBA games that some timeouts can be quite long, due mainly to TV timeouts. During this long break the Celtic arena started playing Bon Jovi’s “Livin’ On A Prayer” to pump up the crowd and give fans a chance to get on the JumboTron.
I have only had my hand make it up on the JumboTron during, a now extinct, Seattle Sonic’s game and to be honest, it was pretty exciting.
But for Jeremy, a simple wave of the hand or a shake of the hips wasn’t his style. Once he noticed he was on the JumboTron and Jovi’s first lyrics hit his ears, the moment was his to own.
Now, the director could have switched to another camera at any time… but he didn’t! Jeremy grabbed this moment and with a sideways, double leg tap in mid-air, now known in Road Bandit terms as a “Jovi,” landed on the ground.He knew it was time to own his moment and let the whole world know “you gotta hold on to what you’ve got!”
Randy Dumpty sat on the wall, Randy Dumpty had a big fall. All the bandits fans and all the bandits best men, couldn’t put Randy Dumpty back together again.
An old ass poem with many meanings will get us started on another fun filled post about the daily struggles of a Road Bandit.
The poem Humpty Dumpty teaches me two things. One is what goes up must come down and the other is that everyone around you can try as hard as they want to help but in the end its up to you and you alone to pick yourself up and get back on that wall.
Right now I am up in Washington where I have spent 20 of my 26 yrs of living. I have tons of awesome friends here and a majority of my family resides here as well. It’s a perfect place to be in the summer and a cold and miserable one in the winter.
I’ve been up here in Washington for little over 3 weeks trying to iron out some business plans and also working on draining out all the negative practices that have been reoccurring while out on the road.
The negative practices I’m talking about our shitty work ethic, poor financial practices, over eating, over drinking and over sleeping.
Its time for a change and its up to me and only me to make them. All the suggestions and support in the world won’t do anything to a person who isn’t willing to change.
So the first step to changing bad habits is to start good ones. Goodbye alcohol! Hello 6-8 hrs of sleep and healthy meals. He comes focused and energized days with a financial plan that will keep this Bandit on the road for as long as I want.
Tony Robbins once said “If you can’t, you must. If you must, you can” and this Bandit must change!
