Finally! I'm an Uncle!

My first nephew, Calder James, was born today! I can't wait until he's five so I can perform the traditional uncle duties of riling him all up with candy, pop, physical activity, and the promise of unlimited adventure... and then leaving him with Mom and Dad at the end of the weekend.

Video Roundup

1. BEST of the WEEK:
   "Stevie Starr - Professional Regurgitator!" -- SFW -- Is he for real? Watch this and determine for yourself.
   
   
2. "Amazing Juggling Finale" -- SFW -- I've seen a lot of jugglers, but this guy really impresses me for some reason.
   
   
3. "Amazing R/C airplane demo" -- SFW -- I had no idea that RC airplanes could fly this accurately -- indoors too!
   
   
4. "Mr. Splash Jump into 12 inches of water from 35 feet tower" -- SFW -- I never get tired of 35' belly flops.
5. "RC Jet Takeoff (and a Faceplant)" -- SFW : (Possible) Injury -- It's cool seeing a 6-foot F-15 take off. Too bad it almost killed someone.
6. "Amazing Photos" -- (Mostly) SFW -- These are really just images, but most are worth watching.
7. "Wrestling Back Flip to a Pin" -- SFW -- Was this kid watching The Matrix or something?
   
8. "Catch Phrase Blooper" -- NSFW -- Sometimes, everyone gets the hidden joke at the same time.
   

Note: All videos are intended to be reviewed by an adult first. To help sort this all out, I use the following terms when necessary:

NSFW = NOT safe for work (you should probably watch this solo before letting others see it)
SFW = Safe for work (you can probably watch this in a mixed adult crowd)
No Injuries / Injuries / Death = Warnings about something that might make you squeamish (or not)

Video Roundup

1. BEST of the WEEK:
   "Staplefahrer Klaus - Das Original" -- NSFW : (Many Fake) Injuries & Death -- It's in German, but pain and satire are international languages.
   
   
2. "Sign Language, Parts 1, 2, 3, and 4" -- (Partially) NSFW -- (Images only) The Telegraph (UK) published an awesome series of poorly translated signs.
3. "Jerry Needs No Help Playing With His Ball" -- SFW -- If they had a contraption like this for kids they'd probably call it "Halo".
4. "Top 3 Laughing Babies" -- SFW -- The name says it all. Guaranteed to make you smile/laugh.
   
5. "Bose Active Suspension" -- SFW -- When can I get this for my car?
   
6. "El Camino del Rey" -- SFW -- Built in 1901, this is the approach to Makinodromo, the famous climbing sector of El Chorro.
7. "Lazy Sunday" -- SFW -- You've probably seen this before, but it's important that you never forget how funny this is.
8. "Insane Jungle Bike Run" -- SFW -- To all you bikers out there. All of you want this place within a short distance of your home.
9. "Artillery Accident" -- SFW : Injuries (Death?) -- Never operate a cannon without reading the manual first.
10. "Colon Blow" -- SFW -- One of the best SNL commercials to date (probably Top 10; certainly Top 20).
