way too much free time, part II

Friday, May 4th, 2007

a while back, i linked a video that combined beer pong and skateboarding for some amazing antics. next in this series, which i’ve entitled ‘youtube pastime mash-ups,’ is this impressive domino routine involving four pool tables, six cues, damn near 50 billiard balls, and more bones than an archaeological dig site. i’d like to see mike massey pull this one off.

proof positive that your favorite things are even better when you put them together.

century club

at some point last night a great milestone in my life was achieved.  that’s right… my first (and only) youtube video hit the century mark in views.  that’s a one with two zeros, folks.  so that got me thinking- i must be getting up there with the most viewed videos of all time.  after a quick trip to youtube’s most viewed page, i sadly realized i’m 38,349,764 views short of the title.  so close.  what was the video that has caught the eye of so many viewers worldwide in just under 9 months?  this dancing jackass.  is there better proof that a popular youtube video has less to do with content and more to do with distribution?  so what do you say readers, lets get the word out there and push my video over the grand mark!

has anyone else thought it to be ironic that UPS is using Postal Service for the background music in their new whiteboard ad campaign?
