Secrets of the City

Dammit, how can my little art librarian video compare with exploding sledgehammer guy?

Max’s description of the video is accurate.

My first question is “why“?

Second would be “where did that flying sledgehammer end up?”

Maybe this is what the Israelis and Palestinians should do with all their explosives instead of blowing each other up with them. In fact, I think all the militaries of the world should disarm themselves in this awesome fashion.

This seems like a perfectly safe activity where nothing could go wrong. I recommend sledgebombs at your next family outing.

Sledgebomb, sledgebomb, you’re my sledgebomb…

I’m pretty tired of winter. I wish Minnesotans would get out more so they’d understand that a thaw is when all the snow melts away and the weather gets back to normal, not a temporary reprieve from months of otherwise-arctic air.

All the same, where is the goddamn thaw already ?

Too bad, Champs. Gonna be cold and bleak all next week.

heh, heh, heh, heh.

The Rat loves winter.

I’d like to imagine a group (pod) of dolphins and a family of chimps watching this video and get their overall take on how it is exactly humans eked our way to the top of the food chain.

We’re the only species that has the luxury of jumping out of planes, walking on fire, and strapping explosives to sledgehammers. Everything else in the biosphere is running from away from lions or swimming away from sharks. We’re an utterly ludicrous (and endlessly delightful) species.

The only indication that the video was shot among civilized people is that they appear to be very good at waiting their turn.

A Minnesotan would admire that.

This video reminds me of a joke my brother in law told:

Q: What are the most common last words by a redneck?

A: “Watch this.”

Nateek: well said. Rat: I was just thinking how good Minnesotans are at standing in line!

rat, isn’t it “here, hold my beer….?”

That’s a little more subtle take on the same joke.

That is similar to a game I have played with friends on occasion. What if your last words were the words you greeted other people with in Heaven? So, as a greeting, the above would greet others by saying, “Watch This” to which someone else would respond “Yes, I’m sure it isn’t loaded.”

Oh, and sledgehammer!

If only Tu Bishvat was celebrated with such hijinx.

I FUCKING HATE MY JOB TODAY!!!!!!

Sorry, had to get that off my chest. And yeah, I know, be glad I have one, yada yada, yada.

I’m with you CINF!!! I hate your job too!

I have seething, white hot hatred for Douglas’s hatred of CINF’s hatred.

I think Douglas doesn’t hate CINF’s hatred, he hates CINF’s job. Sounds like he kinda likes CINF’s hatred. Douglas, please confirm.

CINF has been kinda cranky lately. Pehaps it’s best he didn’t find me at Jackpot Junction at the MN Ag Expo.

BTW: I won $20 at the slots. First pull.

You are correct Jane. I hate CINF’s job! I agree with CINF’s hatred.

I hate CINF.

CINF’s job is kind of a jackass, I’ve always thought so.

Oh, now MY job is making me work. Great. Later.

I have no proof of this, but I think CINF’s job stole my car!

On the other hand, I like Nateek’s hatred of my hatred of CINF’s hatred. Go figure.

I bet poor CINF has been working away at his/her execrable job, unable to enjoy the fun we are having with it. Poor CINF!

Was your car idling outside of CINF’s building? Because the way CINF’s job smokes, it is out in front smoking all the time. And likely did steal your car, only to drive around until all the gas is used up. When you get it back, the wipers will be on and the radio full blast.

CINF’s job got me drunk, stole my virginity, and never called me again. CINF’s job is an asshole.

Jane, I have been trying to get CINF’s job on the nicotine patch, but he just threw then in my face.

In my face, I tell you!

I heard CINF’s job doesn’t tip it’s waitresses and doesn’t wash up after using the bathroom.

Was your car idling outside of CINF’s building?

How did you know?  Did the same thing happen to you?  The thing totally smelled of smoke too!  That bastard!

I fucking hate my lack of a job today!

Well, stay away from CINF’s job. It is a real asshole!!! It may treat you nice for a little while, but then it’ll turn on you.

You’re all a bunch of assholes.

Takes one to know one, CINF’s job.

I am now starting to think it was CINF’s job what stole the Lindbergh baby.

Crap! CINF’s job found out we were talking about it! Now it’ll come over to my house and shoot my porch light out again. Bastard!!!

CINF’s job is all talk and no show. Sure, it acts all tough on the internet, but CINF’s job really just lives in it’s mother’s basement and has exercise induce asthma.

Ha! You are probably right. That explains the labored breathing.

Now that you mention it, that is who is probably calling me up and breathing heavy into my phone…

Maybe CINF’s job will get downsized? You know, go on a diet or something? Because, I swear, CINF’s job almost tipped the canoe over last summer.

Almost tipped the canoe...

Is that a euphemism? Or did you actually go canoeing with CINF’s job? How could you stand that bad breath, and how it always has a big gross zit you want to go away.

It’s been a while since I watched, but TPT Almanac’s set is truly awful.

And of course the Rat loves negative energy.

43 comments in an open thread? Ouch. What gives?

Is CINF’s job the new Teucer’s mom? Or is Teucer’s mom CINF’s job?

My job did in fact take Alie’s virginity. Didn’t even call her the next day.

My job also keyed Douglas’ car, blew smoke in bob’s face at Jackpot Junction on Thursday, peed in Bixby’s coffee, rigged the Florida recount in 2000. It did not, however, have anything to do with the Lindbergh baby. It is, though, involved in several paternity suits that it would rather not discuss.

Happy Saturday everyone. I’m fighting through a hangover and watching Fight Club. Good way to spend a Saturday

Video evidence of the most meaningful human endeavor yet.
