    all i could think about is what his moustache would feel like on the back of my neck.

  • Takuan

    well, I’m sure if you ask him nicely, he would mail it to you. I can supply some duct tape. One of the Boingers would likely enjoy making a video of it all.

    how do you feel about beards?

    I love this kind of humour! Subtle, deadpan, and still makes you think.

    If only SNL could show this type of quiet mastery…

  • Takuan

    humour? Where?

    Was going to put a few hives in the back last year (do my bit against colony collapse syndrome), this video inspires me to get it together this year. Shouldn’t be more than a couple of hundred for hives, gear etc.

    Now, where did I put that Epipen?

  • kaifilion

    Johnny Rolston represents the awesome creepiness of New Hampshire. Very few people can get away with ‘not speaking Chinese’ as well as he can.

    “videro”

    By golly, Mark invented a new word… it rolls off the tongue… Now to figure out what it signifies vs. just plain video.

    viderotic? Videroll? if you get tricked into watching a fake video no youtube, were you viderolled? (A Rickroll is just one example of viderolling.)

  • ashur

    videro, n. Nuevo Spanish for ‘creator or wrangler of videos; one who videos.’

  • WeightedCompanionCube

    ashur – that is very cool.

    “videro” : (N) typo for “video”,

    @Takuan: Way to kill the joke.

  • Takuan

    I crush the feeble, I grind their flimsy exoskeletons under my iron heel, I drink the blood of their wailing people as I drive them before me on a carpet of tiny skulls….
