I don’t know what it is about patios and hijinks, but the two just seem made for one another.
Thanks to the instantaneousness of technology that has brought us everything from cats playing piano to ‘Draping,’ youtube and similar websites that provide a forum for amateur video from around the world are now bringing us the magic and mayhem of patio follies in glorious technicolor.
There are literally dozens of online entertainment sites that offer a seemingly endless opportunity to witness the human comedy in all its patio splendor.
This little gem is just a hint of what our animal friends make of our desire to sit under an umbrella in the sun sipping cool drinks and fanning ourselves silly:
You’ve got to hand it to whoever trained this dog for not only finding this four legged Fagin, but for also locating what appears to be the longest commercial shared restaurant patio in the continental United States. By the looks of that bucket, one pass along this avenue of easy money and this pooch probably takes a limo back home..
This is for everyone who thought they were kicking it last time they combined loud music with alcohol in public:
This is pretty much why rap hasn’t found much popularity among the Baby Boomer generation and why some patios will never live down the shame of this ‘party animal.’. On the plus side, those are some better than average moves for a middle aged man clearly mistaking Eminem for Elvis.
The ultimate patio video has to be this exercise in poor planning that is as stupid as it is sublime:
Ok; there really isn’t that much to say, except that the idea of using a gigantic tree to open up a few walls in your home and build a new patio from the outside in, is probably the single greatest miscalculation in the history of home renovation.
Now you know why my patio has a no video camera policy.
