HEAD ASPLODE

I'm trying to be rational about this. I'm trying not to freak out at my desk because there's no logical way to explain my excitement at this to co-workers without being fired.

There is a new website for our favorite Indian baseball talent search, The Million Dollar Arm. But if you're in the office, make sure you turn the speakers down a little. BECAUSE THERE'S AN ORIGINAL MILLION DOLLAR ARM RAP SONG BLARING FROM THE FRONT PAGE.

It's been a long time comin'
Make somethin' out of nothin'
Sound the alarm!
It's The Million Dollar Arm!

Damned straight it is. The treasure chest of awesomeness doesn't stop here. There are blog entries from our heroes, Rinku and Dinesh. I won't republish the entries here for fear that it would look like I'm making fun of their attempt to learn the language, but let's just say these things are not being ghostwritten. They are a must read.

What's that? You want more? Well then immerse yourself visually in the world of The Millon Dollar Arm, with this series of videos. It chronicles the journey from the contest in Dehli, to the beaches of California where they are heckled by a cameraman. Uplifting stuff! It's safe to say I'll be exploring the site for the rest of the day, but for now I'll leave you with these two videos. (I unembedded the videos because they play automatically.)

Sadly, I can't find anything about Rinku's dad's truck.
