STOP posting this fool's videos!

He is the definition of an ultracrepidarian!

He is not funny or informative or entertaining or enlightening or worthy of regard. The only example being displayed is your neophobia.

The only people merited to SUFFER through this level of smug inaneness would be a doctor, lawyer, priest, therapist - - people paid to listen to troubled souls.*

There isn't enough Flavor Ade to make him believable.

(add'n background banjo music to those videos would only improve it)


*or come up w/a PayPal scheme for the rest of us to profit from your obvious credulity - i.e. pay us to listen to that sh*t.

Right after Jackass came out, a couple of friends-of-a-friend decided to stage their own version of the movie -- with a hornet's nest. They found the thing hanging from a tree at the edge of a field and it was not remotely on the small size. Also, this was in late August and the queen had already flown away, leaving the drones to slowly starve to death. Thus, the enormous number of stripey-stripey sting-stings were already good 'n' pissed-off.

They were about to get moreso.

So chowderhead A and chowderhead B have a brilliant plan: they're going to shoot this enormous ball full of astoundingly-irate murderous insects with a shotgun while they're filming it. If you're hearing banjos playing and luke-warm cheap beers being cracked open, you're about in the right frame of mind.

Places, everybody!

The stage is set: on one end, at what's decided to be "minimum safe distance", are our erstwhile David Attenborough/Jonny Knoxville knock-offs. At a decidedly NOT minimum safe distance away is the arthropod version of the T'sar Bomba. All we're missing now is a Mossberg, enough idiocy to think this can end any way but badly, and a camera. With far too much alacrity for what's about to happen, all three are provided.

Aaaaaand, ACTION!

* BOOOM! *

At first, surprisingly, nothing happens. This period of stasis lasts roughly a picosecond. Then, unsurprisingly, things start to happen and they happen far more quickly than the Chuckle Brothers planned on. This plays out in three acts:

Act 1: "Hey, uh, why is the nest still there?"
Act 2: "Uh-oh..."
Act 3: "FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!"

Hubris takes many forms, and schadenfreude takes twice as many, but both combined were statistically zero compared to the number of hornets involved in this fiasco. Had the two Mensa escapees who irked said hornets thought this thing through -- stop laughing -- perhaps they would have arrived at the conclusion that 1. a shotgun slug is not the preferred load-out when dealing with a ball made out of wasp puke and 2. being the only two things visible within a 20 mile radius of the ball made out of wasp puke pretty much negates the mystery of who the hornets are going to sting the ever-loving fuck out of.

With their plans in ruins and the nest not, our heroes decide to quit the field. This is the first smart thing they've done since looking at that big ball of wasps and deciding it was redolent with untapped hilarity. The hornets are having none of this white flag nonsense, however, and they decide to quit screwing around and really inflict some pain. It's a quarter mile back to the car and the hornets are going to make them pay for every inch of it.

The final score:
Hornet losses: meh, they were all going to die in a few weeks anyway.
The chucklenuts: 23 stings, a dropped shotgun, and three minutes of footage that they took in the pre-YouTube era and thus is lost to time.

Moral:
Hornets are not toys.

I'm not expecting him to reply anyway. Just wanted to bring up @moonsammy post once more to show that some honest questions are being asked out of genuine curiosity and without prejudice. Questions that a real man should want to answer in that light.

But, it's bob(s). 🪕

Would like to see more flare from the Banjo, but brilliant none the less.

Saw him last week and they did a cover of Squeezebox by The Who. He prefaced performing it by stating it always angered him that in a song that's supposedly about an accordion, there's no actual accordion part. But there's a frickin' banjo.

Unfortunately, they didn't do a very good job with the mic on his accordion, so there still wasn't much of one...
