I watch this series of videos on Youtube about machining put out by this crotchety old retired high school shop teacher from central Illinois.  It's deeply comforting to me in several ways.  I was catching up on the videos today, and on this one at about 7:15, the guy out of nowhere starts talking about how the EPA is destroying this country and is controlled by al Qaeda.  Then there's a sudden silence as if he has realized what he's said, and he says, "I don't like it when I get political, and I suspect you some of you don't, either," in that clipped tone of voice Midwestern men use when forced to talk about religion or politics or sex.  Then he goes on chattering about the finer points of disassembling and cleaning the compound slide of a lathe.

Hilarious, though maybe only hilarious to a very narrow slice of humanity

[C of heartbreak]

Wow! I didn't think that was going to be exactly what he said. That's somethin.

Do you do any machining, Dick? I'm surrounded by awesome metalworking tools at work, but I don't know what all the little parts are called.

[Dick]

Yeah man, machining is my main hobby.  I got offered a job actually a while ago as a machinist for a gasket company but I stupidly took a desk job that paid more.  Should have gone for the shop job, they had this beautiful hulking old Warner & Swasey in the shop, must have been 100 inches between centers.

I don't own any machine tools except a lowly drill press, I don't have anywhere to put them.  Mostly my skills manifest as an unhealthy obsession with metrology in related tasks, and writing 5000 word paeans to the Monarch 10ee lathe.  I've been 'restoring' this old shoe shine box for a month now.  Would have been a 1 day project but I keep having to start over because stacking tolerances on the drilled holes are throwing off my plans.  My wife wonders why I've had to make three separate trips to the store for brass stock.

Dick: I take it you're preservationist at heart then?

Parrot sings Flo Rida (he's still learning).

[Dick]

What does preservationist mean?  Is it like a political party?  I'm a communist at heart.

If you're talking about that shoe shine box, I'm not preserving that shit at all.  Hand-hammered brass lip, baize interior, etc. is all quite new to my old beater shoe box.  I'm pimping my shoe ride.

I laughed before even clicking through

[dumbfish]

There's a real "Pop goes the weasel!" moment in this one.
Some profanity, too, but that's a big part of the appeal.

Don't know why, but the rubber bands and watermelon made me laugh again and again.

I thought I must have posted this before, but a forum search for "Mandalf" brings no results. I present to you the best LOTR voice-over ever, which should have gone viral many years ago. I love it so much I named my 2012 fantasy baseball team Mandalf.

[Anne the Man]

Yay Mandalf! LOTR parodies was basically how I discovered Youtube back in the day. Also Mandalf is about the only thing I've seen, original or parodies, that makes that scene not homoerotic.

Also enjoyed this probably more than I should have.

edit: goddammit, THIS is my 12000th post?

[Greg Nog]

So this ASL video is fairly hypnotic.

While a US local news report is interviewing someone about their house some guy walks out of the woods in shot, drunk as a lord and stark bollocks naked. One way to make an entrance.
