The Coolest Homeowner on the Block Assists a “Ding-Dong Ditch”

Author James // Dave & Chuck the Freak
MADRID, SPAIN - JUNE 02: A customer rings the doorbell at the entrance to the boutique Lady Cacahuete that helps in complying with the store capacity rule (3 people maximum) on June 02, 2020 in Madrid, Spain. Lady Cacahuete is a brand inspired by the 50s’ fashion whose clothes are designed, patterned and made in Spain. Although they have been able to continue selling via their online store, due to the preventive measures taken in Spain during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis they have had to close their physical store located in the center of Madrid for almost four months. Their revenue in that period has fallen over 65% compared to the previous year. The shop has been open to the public with all the appropriate sanitary measures since the end of May. Lady Cacahuete participated in the EGO Mercedes Benz Madrid Fashion Week 2013 and 2014 editions. (Photo by Patricia J. Garcinuno/Getty Images)

Here’s a Ring Doorbell video of a homeowner catching a kid doing the “ding-dong ditch” prank.  The guy happened to be walking out the front door at the same time . . . so the kid tells the truth.

He says his buddies will make him walk home if he doesn’t ring the bell.  Instead of getting mad, the homeowner decides to help.  He tells him to take off running and he’ll “chase” him through the yard.

 

Tommy Lee's Drum Rig: An Evolution of Madness

Tommy Lee celebrates his birthday on October 3, and what better way to honor the Motley Crue drummer than with a series of wild videos of Tommy doing what he does best. (No, you perv! Not those kind of videos!)

Few drummers have brought the live theatrics quite like Lee over the years. The infrastructure surrounding his kit has evolved over time. We can’t even imagine the type of engineering and testing that went into some of these rigs. Even thinking about it makes our head spin more than Lee literally spinning in the air while never missing a beat.

To our knowledge, Lee’s drum rig has seen three significant phases over the years. Below, we take a look at those phases. Spoiler: Prepare to be in awe!

  • Early Beginnings: Rotating Rig

    Tommy Lee’s drum rig had humble beginnings, in hindsight. However, at the time, the simple rotating rig was revolutionary.

  • The 360 Roller Coaster Rig

    A significant upgrade from the rotating rig, the 360 roller coaster rig is quite large. Also, we’d love to know just how Lee is strapped into his kit to prevent him from falling out.

  • The 'Cruecifly' Rig that Floated Above Crowds during Motley Crue's Not-So 'Final Tour'

    The “Cruecifly” is nothing short of insane! This rig was unveiled during what was referred to as Motley Crue’s “Final Tour.” While that proved to be incorrect and the band returned to the road years later, the “Cruecifly” is truly an engineering feat. Lee must have nerves of steel to even attempt playing while in something like this.
