Matches in DBpedia 2014 for { ?s ?p With just four more weeks remaining on their gap year, the boys decide to amp up their weekly safaris by heading to Washington State for a demolition derby - but not just any demolition derby. This one involves combine harvesters ramming into each other at high speeds. When Hamish and Andy arrive, they realise that the harvester that they have been given has no brakes and no fire extinguishers, but that does not stop them from making it their own, giving it a nice new paint job and naming it "Peter Harvey-ster, Canberra". With no brakes, neither of the boys are too eager to be the driver, however Andy is forced into doing it by Hamish. Sensing new blood, Andy's competitors target him, and after a short period of time, the harvester's wheel axes have been completely severed, and Peter is gone forever. The boys also get excited for Hamish vs Andy Round 3, which is stranger racing. This new sport involves the boys clipping a helium balloon to a pedestrian, and once the walk signal is given, it is a race between the two balloon nominees as to who can get to the other side of the crossing first. Hamish claims the first round, Andy snares the second, and the third is declared a dead heat. In the tiebreaker round, the boys substitute pedestrians for taxis, and small balloons for larger balloons in a race for two blocks. Unfortunately, Hamish's taxi is hailed, leaving Andy to take out the match, leaving the overall scores at 2-1. They also visit the Asylum Film Studio, a studio that rips off blockbuster films by creating terribly made movies with very similar plots, concepts and titles to other, more famous films. Sensing an opportunity to showcase their creativity, Hamish and Andy pitch an idea called "Avatari", which combines the plot of Avatar with the graphics of Atari for the ultimate summer blockbuster. The head of development says he is interested, but the segment leaves it ambiguous as to what happens after that, although a thirty-second snippet is shown. Hamish reveals that he enjoys magic tricks, and even won prizes at school. Rekindling his passion, he visits the Magic Castle, an institution where famous magicians show their tricks and reveal secrets, hoping to show off his abilities. However, he is flatly refused entry because he is not a member. Determined, Hamish contacts a magician who is a member, who advises him to apply for an audition to become a member. The audition is organised and slated for two weeks later, and will determine if Hamish becomes a member or not. And this commitment goes straight on R2-To-Do so that Hamish cannot wriggle out of it if he fails. And Susan Sarandon drops by to the Couch for a chat. It is revealed that during a night at her table-tennis nightclub Spin, Hamish broke six glasses with an aggressive forehand, so Andy decides that it is only fair for Susan to break something of Hamish's. Originally deciding to smash Hamish's bobblehead, Andy goes back on this deal and opts to put Hamish's prized bodybuilding trophy on the line, however he gives Hamish a chance to win it back by playing a Sarandon-based quiz game. Hamish must answer at least 2 of the 3 questions correctly to save the trophy. He answers the first correctly and the second incorrectly. He takes a blind stab at the third, which is unfortunately wrong, and Cackling Jack, under Susan and Andy's orders, drops the trophy from the roof of the factory, smashing it to pieces and leaving Hamish heartbroken.. }
