Rad comeback on Ghost Valley 1

Tonight, Amy and I were playing Super Mario Kart on my Super NES Classic. Thanks to the Rewind feature, I recorded the end of a super close race with my iPhone.

I’m Koopa Troopa (top), and Amy is Toad (bottom). We joke often by saying, “Neck and neck!” This time, it was true. 😌

Stoned Kids

I watched the first episode of WEEDIQUETTE on VICELAND last night. Fascinating.

In our season premiere, our host Krishna travels to Oregon and California to meet families who—as a last resort—have turned to hyper-potent weed oil to treat their children’s life-threatening cancers with seemingly positive results.

I…think we need to deschedule marijuana.

Here are a few related articles (and one video):

The horse head

I recorded the following 28-second video on February 29, 2012 — it’s funny. Heads up: there’s some profanity. Thanks to Hanni for being a good sport!

Here’s the context1:

Hey Hanni, or greetings from Core Happy - February 29, 2012 (Tybee Island, GA) — Hanni was arriving that day, and someone on Core Happy brought a horse head. We decided to place it in her bed for fun. I think she freaked out. 😉 These were the two photos I snapped.
  1. Confession: I also wanted to try the Display Posts Shortcode. ;) ↩

Don’t talk to police

Amy and I finished binge watching Making a Murderer on Netflix the other day. I just realized I never posted about these two videos uploaded on June 10th, 2008.

Please spend 48 minutes and 40 seconds to watch them carefully, and share with others.

To keep it fresh in your mind, I’d also suggest rewatching on a regular basis (monthly, perhaps).

Below is a YouTube playlist I’ve had saved, “Don’t Talk to Cops” so you can watch them consecutively. Feel free to subscribe (to save you from the need to do the same).

(1) Mr. James Duane, a professor at Regent Law School and a former defense attorney, tells you why you should never agree to be interviewed by the police.

(2) An experienced police officer tells you why you should never agree to be interviewed by the police.

 

net_work rocks

If you’re looking for hilarious entertainment, watch a few episodes of net_work by Black20 and you’ll be hooked. The vortex of dry humor and confusion drew me in right from the start.

From the net_work page at Black20:

Forget what you know about sitcoms. Forget what you know about the way stories are supposed to go. net_work is office comedy for a new generation.

It’s two Internet video producers and the strange world that surrounds them. It’s business unusual.

The only two things you can expect of net_work are: Mike will be Mike, and Michael will be Michael.

One of my early favorites is “Separates,” which was back in Season 1. (They’re currently in Season 4.)

“Wasting Breath” with US Bank Tower’s Security Team

Thanks to Hal Bergman, there’s video of the encounter with the security team at the US Bank Tower. Shawn (Discarted) edited the video and just blogged about it this morning. Consider it part two, which include the put downs, plus an attempt to teach one of the security guards by Angelo [of Hollywood].

Why is Netflix instant streaming a BONUS feature?

Netflix Instant Streaming - STOP CHOKING!

The last two Saturdays, Netflix streaming was dead. Today, on a mellow Tuesday afternoon, it died for a short period.

To quote Benjamin from Netflix (via Thomas Hawk):

Watch Now is a bonus feature for Netflix subscribers.

What? Where does it say that on the Netflix website? Their Terms of Use page?

Maybe.
