funny and fake?

The part about ā€œborn with a potato for a heartā€ was a big clue, too. :clown_face: :clown_face: :clown_face:

Now itā€™s mashed-potatoes, Iā€™m sure.

That skateboard guy (Josh Neuman) died in a plane crash in Iceland last month

Had to watch that again, just for kix.

Could you imagine being the dewd in the minivan at 2:11, minding your own bidniss heading up the hill, when all of a sudden a guy on a skateboard coming the other way plants himself into your bumper/radiator/etc.? Like hitting a deer, only with lots more lawyers involved.

But it figures, the way people like that end up getting killed. Guy who survives 4 tours in the mideast, ends up slipping on an icy stairway and cracks his melon. Guy who juggles chainsaws while blindfolded chokes on a chicken-bone. Etc.

That was an amazing skill how he could skid or drift the skateboard to slow down for the corners and hairpin turns. i had no idea that was possible. Sad news to hear of his passing.

This just makes me smile. :slight_smile:

Thatā€™s sooooooo funny.

I like the cat thatā€™s just representinā€™ through the whole thing.

Jingled some memories along the way, too. Kinda reminds me of this:

Here was a guy who suffered almost incomprehensible stuttering as a kid, and just powered through it and could end up doing this.

Thatā€™s Vibe Cat. He She gets around.

Vibe Cat origin.

Our (US) Commander in Chief had a stutter when he was young. Got over it later in life. Should put him in touch with Scatman.

Edit: had wrong gender and

thank you, gman7228.
a similar smileā€¦.

Youā€™re welcome! ā€œYouā€™re right. Thatā€™s not me. You got the wrong guy.ā€ hehehe

Since weā€™re on a drum theme.

So many variants! Iā€™d seen the Levan Polkka before but not this with the accompaniment. Very cool.

Hereā€™s the longer one with the cat:

The general story about the cat ā€” itā€™s not actually grooving. Itā€™s a very, VERY mellow pliable cat. Some guy held it by the scruff of the neck and bobbed him in rhythm to something else to make it look like heā€™s grooving. And so, video editors captured him and put him in a bunch of things, to viral effect. Levan polkka was one of them. :smiley:

Bugger! The guy looks like a giant Pokomon!

Ringo Starrmander?

So what is this supposed to be like, a real-life Squid game?

Thatā€™s what I was thinking.

planned obsolescence

Yep. Forgot which model, but one of my color Nokia candybar phones which I loooooved starting getting crappy battery life. Used to go 2wks between charges if no phonecalls, then got to only days before I had to recharge. Figured, okay, itā€™s the battery, so swapped in a brand new one from another same-model phone (used to get ā€™em essentially free if youā€™d buy airtime), and took apart the old battery.

Fā€™n thing had the same exact battery life with the unused battery! I figure their ā€œupdatesā€ fā€™ed with the charging algorithm, standby power draw, anything, thatā€™d kill battery life.

My Nuron is also on its last balls, too. Damned good battery life ā€™til all of a sudden it went to shiite. Literally as if someone flicked a switch. Now, itā€™ll go from 4-5 battery-bars to 1-2 with minimal interaction (call, display, etc.), then bwoop-bwoop its ā€œfeed me!ā€ warning.

Thatā€™s why I HATE OTA ā€œupdatesā€. I had unwanted UI changes, new crapplets installed, new/broken versions of stuff I used, all kinds of annoyances.

I always wanted to learn how to split firewood
