The Horse VS. Machine	High school football miracle, come from behind win
The 2009 lawn mower poker run started at the Jerseyville American Legion at noon on Sunday October 11th and ended at Sammy's Office Lounge, were there was plenty of hot food and cold beer. However this year there was more to it than just another run through the back streets of town on your lawn mower. At the start of this year's annual poker run every one showed up early at the Jerseyville American Legion so that they could witness a 50-yard dash between a horse and a motorcycle. The race was held to settle a bet, and every one showed up to see the spectacle. If you would like to see who won this race click on the link below The Horse VS. Machine Matt Capps	Watch it on the Avalonn video page Quick lesson in high school football. The game isn't over until the official blows the whistle on the final play. Canton (Michigan) Plymouth High learned that the hard way earlier this month. The school thought it had defeated Westland (Michigan) John Glenn when it blocked a last-second field goal attempt. But when its players ran off the field in celebration, none of the players realized that the ball hadn't crossed the line of scrimmage and was still in play. No official had blown the ball dead. So while Plymouth celebrated, John Glenn's Tony Wilton alertly picked up the ball and ran 33-yards for the winning score. Watch it on the Avalonn video page
Wild gun battle at Ohio bar caught on video	Dogs like Halloween too.
See the whole thing on Avalonn video TOLEDO, Ohio - A wild gunfight involving at least five gunmen sent patrons fleeing from a northwestern Ohio bar, but police say no one was injured. This is unbelievable. After I watch this video and seen how many bullets were fired, I cant believe that none of the gunmen didn't accidentally shoot them selves or any one else in this crowded bar. The gunfire lasted for several minutes and was captured on a video surveillance system at the Route 66 Kitchen in Toledo Ohio. Deputy Police Chief Don Kenney says the gunshots escalated from a fistfight that apparently began when a bar employee asked a man who was trying to sell marijuana to leave. See the whole thing on Avalonn video	Halloween is just around the corner, and most kids have already picked out there costumes. But the only thing more fun than dressing your kid up as their favorite super hero or monster is dressing the family dog up. I don't know what it is about dogs that make it so funny to see them in a crazy costume but it is almost always funny to see it. Unlike cats, hamsters, birds, and other common household pets the family dog has more personality and charisma that makes it the perfect candidate for a silly dress, or crazy costume. Yes that's right the family dog. You see unlike Christmas, Easter or thanksgiving Halloween is the one holiday that the family dog gets to participate along with every one else in the family. During those other holidays most dogs gets tied up in the backyard while every one sets down for family meals. But at Halloween the family dog gets center stage and plenty of attention. Plus when the kids come home from a night of trick or treat, there is usually so much candy that no one notices or minds to much if the family dog sneaks away with a few treats. Halloween, a great holiday for both kids and dogs. Click on this hear for more great pictures of dogs in costumes. Matt Capps
