I'd heard about this before, but didn't watch it until just now, and all I can say is, horee chit.  :o

There's a 2160p4k resolution to this video. If you can run it that way at full screen on a big screen, do eeet!

Little known fact: Star Wars takes place there.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

I watched it on the super high setting but didnt really find it enjoyable.  the image is too fine for moving about in it.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

Plus the Andromedans were mean to Captain Kirk. They even turned his crew into polyhedral dice!

And Andromeda is 2.5 million light years away, so those stars' lights started when the Earth was in the Lower Paleolithic.
