Entering the YouTube World – amazing!

It was early this morning that I went deeper into the YouTube World. Yikes I am shaking... it is like an addiction that I cannot stop. I follow link after link – look at video after video. If some are stupid I click off and then go to another. Arggghh! I cannot quit.

My how the world has changed!

Remember when you didn’t have a TV? And if you were in remote enough places – you didn’t go to movies either… or in the case that I was brought up – you didn’t go to movies either. They were sinful.

Shocking as that is – anything that was fun was sinful. Enough of that – it might shock some that still don’t go to movies.

Change has happened so fast that it is making my head spin at times. At the rate that it is happening now I am not sure that I will keep up much longer!

Today in the YouTube World I discovered about a hundred ways to make better rubber band guns! Yep guns that shoot rubber bands.

Away back when I was young my dad made us a rubber band gun that fired one shot at a time. The gun shaped piece of wood had a clothes pin mounted on the back of the handle and rubber band was stretched out to the nose from the clothes pin that was holding it. Squeezing off a shot was done by squeezing the clothes pin.

With YouTube today I learned that people are making machine guns that shoot hundreds of rubber bands in a 7 second time – or less!

I will list some of the Links below to help you be amazed as well.

Now of course the way that YouTube works can be distracting for guys like me that are slightly – or maybe completely ADHD in structure.

While in Rubber Gun videos I discovered the real gun videos. These are completely nuts. Good old rednecks spewing lead everywhere… but then that led to the paint ball freaks… and their antics.

But to change the channel a little I stepped over into the Pumpkin Carving to see the amazing things that these guys do~!!! From grotesque forms to absolute beauty – Pumpkins can be a new art form – and they are.

But for variety I stepped into the tooth pick guns and their design videos. No kidding these really work. I made one quite quickly. The spear of tooth pick will penetrate a sheet of white photocopy paper… and right through two sheets of newspaper! It is made of a wooden clothes pin and some thread… and pow… zap… zing… away the tooth pick goes. It can shoot up to 12 feet!

Now wouldn’t school have been far more interesting?

Over to the Home Made Bombs was a fizzle but lots went BOOM! We did that without the YouTube… oh boy

But that then led to a Potato Gun/Launcher…

Now I am going to go to church… and listen.. try to concentrate… and get something out of it….
