Does this blow your mind as much as it does mine? Maybe this shouldn't be too much of a surprise. Every person I know plays the game "Who can find the most interesting/comical content on YouTube" and share it before the next guy does. Thus, there must be some folks out there who are constantly searching...and searching.
At a recent retreat, Abacus Champ (formerly Linn-Duh) proudly boasted that he knew "the best kids getting hit in the face" clips. Before he had a chance to catch a whiff of his morning breath, he had his laptop open to YouTube, searching for any new clips to ensure that his claim held true for another day.
I, on the other hand, still prefer my online entertainment in written word, but have found my own practical use for YouTube. It's the best tool available to back fill some of the fuzzier memories of content I have consumed in the past. Those blurred, amorphous images no longer lie dormant.
For example, I once saw this remarkable footage of a domesticated penguin on Animal Planet (tangent: If you ever find yourself without headphones on a flight that offers satellite programming, just flip over to Animal Planet and watch animals maul unsuspecting people. You really don't need audio to understand what's going on). I thought I would never see it again. What an interesting time we live in, one in which we are able to unlock stored memories with a few typed words.
I promise you will enjoy this, and thanks for stopping by!
Now, if only somebody can relay to me the video footage of sleeping piglets in water that aired during the same episode, I will send you a gift of equal value. Video is great, but don't let words escape you.
