I still plan on finishing the the super amazing video of me riding a luck dragon I’ve shot more video of myself that I needed to finish it. However my attention has been turned to watching BattleStar Galactica.
Suggestions:
- Make sure all words are spelled correctly.
- Try different keywords.
- Try more general keywords. posted by Citizen Premier at 9:34 PM on October 28, 2005

Bill, you seem to be missing something: Metafilter is not a place to promote your own things. Doing so means you just lost $5 as you're banned. Understand? posted by dobbs at 9:54 PM on October 28, 2005

Wow.
Whether the video is good or not (yeah, I guess it's pretty funny, for an unfinished sixteen-second blurb, only two seconds of which have seen any editing whatsoever) is irrelevant.

Puke& Cry,
No way. Unless you mean the one where the two Japanese women are naked with the large funnel and the bucket of eels. One funnels the whole bucket into the other girl's butt, then the second one starts shooting them out, one at a time, into the first girl's mouth, where she...eats them.
OK, the horse video isn't the worst out there...
But what's next?

Post deletion reason, and Balisong's banination reason;

yes, I've seen the eels/funnel bit. Very disgusting.
Unfortunately, I have seen much worse videos/pictures as a result of discovering a family member was a beastiality fetishist. Worse than any alqueda snuff film or ogrish rotting corpse pictures. Believe me, I'm not very proud of that.
Oh also. The thing on stileproject where the guy took a nasty shit, then took a big siringe and sucked up the shit, then stuck the shit into his penis, then jerked the shit out of his penis. That was a good one. posted by puke & cry at 11:28 PM on October 28, 2005

I have got to say that i'm loving this thread.

bill, I understand it was on purpose. that's my point. that's what's so funny about it, and especially what's funny about people correcting you.
dersins, that's ok. I don't think those people are stupid or anything. it's just that, to my mind, it was obvious this was a joke and flagrantly intentional violation when he posted the video of himself flying on a luck dragon to the front page. My brain keeps trying to see how that could be perceived as anything else and fails. maybe that's just my brain's fault. posted by shmegegge at 12:11 AM on October 29, 2005
