In Just 73 Simple Steps…

The tweeting of Paul Scheer (of Human Giant fame) alerted me to the presence of this awesome video at Eric Appel’s site. I would embed it here if I could, but both Eric’s site and the site where the video originally appeared–Funny or Die–are worth your attention.

The video in question consists of clips from a user video for a 3D camera starring Vincent Price. From the look of it, this thing was shot mere hours before Mr. Price’s untimely demise. he gives it his all nonetheless. The man was such a professional.

The script emphasizes the camera’s ease of use. But within seconds, it becomes apparent that this “simple” camera requires quite a bit of knowledge and TLC to use. I can’t even say why this is so funny, but I assure you it is. Enjoy!

Unnecessary Musical Experiments, Rush Edition

Ever wondered what Rush would sound like all slowed down? Of course you do! Here’s “Tom Sawyer” with the brakes on. Kinda sounds like some mutant hyrbid of Black Sabbath and Mission of Burma. Notice how, even slowed down, Geddy Lee’s voice is still pretty high.

Hat-tip to Bugle Boy over at the FOT forum for exposing me to this.

Oh Japan, You’ve Done it Again!

Paxarcana’s twitter page pointed me to this amazing video originally posted at Dvorak Uncensored: Japanese hitting coach bats baseball straight up a rope. For real.

So not only have the Japanese conquered the Real Baseball world, they’ve also cornered the market on Pete Maravich-esque baseball trickery. That’s it, we give up. You guys win.

How long before this is an event on Unbeatable Banzuke?
