It looks like a loop at first, but she collapses from cholesterol poisoning at about 38 minutes, 29 seconds into the clip. posted by Blazecock Pileon at 9:05 AM on January 25, 2011

This really gets into the territory of John Lilly's LSD experiments in the 1960s where he'd get a whole group of people together, dose them, and then start audio looping of short phrases. Such loops naturally begin to lose their actual meaning after a while and begin to be replaced in the listener's mind with other things, even without the aid of hallucinogens. With the LSD, Lilly would find people inventing entire speeches and conversations out of the very simple audio loops.
I haven't gotten to a conversation or a speech yet, but this list of words is beginning to lose all meaning for me. Anyone got any Magic Mickey stamps I can lick? You know, for SCIENCE!? posted by hippybear at 9:20 AM on January 25, 2011 [3 favorites]

"Still better than Transformers 2."
YouTube's feature where you can read the funniest comment without reading all the other comments appeals to me. I am certain this is funny even when I can finally watch the video which I can't now because... buffering.
That may be the best YouTube commend I've ever read. posted by SpacemanStix at 9:25 AM on January 25, 2011 [5 favorites]
Vincent Price's porkchops
Okay, I have to admit, I was hoping that this might be a guest cooking segment starring Vincent, featuring one of his recipes (culled from top restaurants around the world) from his really strange and excellent time capsule of a cookbook, A Treasury Of Great Recipes.
If you love cookbooks and don't own this one, seek it out. It's worthy of a place on any shelf whether in the kitchen or not.

This is awesome. Is there any way to speed up playback of a Youtube video by 5%? It'd make a nice Reich-like loop. This doubled video sort of has the effect. posted by Nelson at 9:28 AM on January 25, 2011 [1 favorite]
I clicked through thinking it was the meatball recipe I was seeking, but apparently I was wrong. Yes, lets reconvene in an hour. posted by infini at 9:42 AM on January 25, 2011

Haven't done it with this loop, but in general if you listen attentively to an audio loop in a distraction free, darkened room, it will start to open up in about 20 minutes. After 30 minutes or so it will change to where you may mostly hear words other than the ones spoken.
We did this as a group in a music class, and the times were about the same for everyone. posted by StickyCarpet at 10:14 AM on January 25, 2011 [2 favorites]
