How to Open a Bottle of Lamune

September 24th, 2005 · 9 Comments





There's something about camera lenses that make little boys go completely apeshit. Between their seizures of goofiness, Tony ("Booger") and Andy ("Goofball") demonstrate how to open, drink and disassemble a ラムネ bottle.

This took an unbelievably long time to edit. I either need to stop being such a perfectionist, or learn how to be a faster one.

    I must say Rich, that was one of more entertaining things i've seen for a while.

    And thanks for turning the camera off were the children were harmed. That shows good form! You're improving!

    The QT7 installer won't let me install the app in English, so I only know what the setting is called in Japanese–something like "middle bandwidth" in the pulldown menu you get when exporting DV AVI to MOV format. The only setting I change is the size of the image because I'm shooting in widescreen mode.

    You know what, I'll take you up on your original offer for OS 9 and 10, just to see if they work. Today I got a hold of a 8.6 CD from Gerry in Australia. From what I remember, 9.1 worked well, 9.2 runs slower than molasses when it doesn't freeze up.

    That's about what it tastes like, only sweeter.

    I LOVED OS9.2.2! I still miss it. Still faster than OX 10.4.2!

    Thanks! I read that page a few weeks ago but it has been expanded quite a bit since then. There's an open source implementation being developed and the VNC media player incorporates it. Hopefully there will be a card available soon that's less than $350-500 Nvidias and supports hardware compression.
