In a world… where fences divide… where hearts are broken… where borders shut out, comes…

Cross-Border Volleyball.

(That whole set-up actually sounds better if you imagine it with the voice of that movie trailer guy from the GEICO commercials.)

Apparently, a couple of kooky guys that publish Wholpin, a new quarterly DVD magazine, decided to go down to the San Diego beach border and play a game of pick-up volleyball with the folks from the Other Side. The best part?

All this activity finally brings down the hammer of the border patrol, and a jeep shows up to separate us. The officer is friendly but firm. He’s just come on shift and has no idea we’ve been playing volleyball over the fence for the past hour.

“Really?�

He tells us that a daredevil launched himself across the border in a cannon a while back, but that ours was, in fact, the first-ever game of international border volleyball.

“And it worked over that tall fence?�

“Yup,� we say. “We’re up for one more round if you want to play.�

“No, man,� the officer says. “I’m on duty.�

You can read the details from LA Weekly or see the clip from Wholpin. All hail the power of the San Diego surfer dude!
