Amazing Human Tricks

Here today, as always, for near-Sisyphean human endeavor in service of niche entertainment that reaches escape velocity and enraptures the masses*. 

* It us. We the masses.

YouTube accountholder Corduroy Frames set out five years ago to recreate one of the most epic videos of all time in stop motion format. He (I assume it's a he, because this kind of pointless and futile and awesome activity is highly male-coded, but it could be a she. Or a they, honestly.) finally published his magnum opus, a la Pigman in PCU, a few short weeks ago. 

Friends, I give you, Stop Motion Sabotage.

  1. Why don't they have the caption of Sir Stewart Wallace as Himself? It's missing.

  2. And I noticed that on first run-through? I haven't watched that video in a very long time. What is wrong with me??

  3. If you want to watch Marco Rubio's soul leave his body, watch the first 95 seconds of this video where Trump (1) asserts it's impossible to open the Strait of Hormuz, (2) admits that his war of choice would've led to economic ruination the likes of which haven't been seen since the Great Depression, and (3) chides the "tough guys" and "stupid people" who wanted to keep fighting for a better resolution.

  5. yeah, that soul left the body a long time ago. this was just him once again realizing what he's done and how he'll never be able to undo it. just crushing emptiness.

  7. Look up Rubio's affiliation with a Miami coke stash house if you want to know anything about his soul and how long ago he sold it.

  8. Are cze/rsa in any way related to SZA or RZA?

  9. To be fair, it was his brother-in-law's coke stash house. Family.

  10. Screw you, Zman, for making me watch Trump for 95 seconds. Retch.

  11. Sometimes I'm glad my work computer has no speakers. I could watch the guy for 95 seconds, but only if there's a specific payoff at the end.

  12. In my darkest heart, I'm looking for a feat of strength gone wrong at the copa final, because you know who's going to want to hoist that cup. It would make for great tv. A real ratings bonanza.

  16. Kid spent the night at my parents house tonight so the wife and I decided to go up to the family restaurant for a couple cocktails and appetizers. Mozzarella Caprese and Escargot with pesto. Italians aren’t all bad.

  18. String Cheese Incident outdoors on a beautiful evening at Roanoke Island Festival Park. Just did a damned inspired cover of Billy Preston's "Will It Go 'Round in Circles." Respect.

  19. I saw Stringe Cheese in Gainesville many, many moons ago. Twas a great time. Speaking of great times, smoked beef ribs after a long afternoon in the pool with my wife and kid. Up early for a trip to Chicago tomorrow. May catch a Sox game on Tuesday night.
