Unless it's a glowing review, which is once in a blue moon, you never really can tell whether he likes a game.

I believe the Ian Knot is a faster way to achieve a similar result. It's what I use, and though it is not perfectly secure like a double knot, I'd call it 99% and still easy to undo.

The Ian Knot achieves the exact same result, and more quickly.

But for the sake of argument, say you want to keep tying your shoes the same way you always have but want to get the strong form of the knot - this guy is still going about it inefficiently, I believe.
The gentleman in this talk recommends wrapping the loop the other way, which is fairly counter-intuitive and must be re-done each time the shoe is tied.
However, you can achieve the same result by wrapping the initial wrap (at the base of the knot) the opposite direction. Even if it "feels wrong" to do it, you still only have to do it once in a blue moon, as long as you never completely unlace that wrap. (I use an Ian Knot, but I still leave the base wrapped when I "untie" my shoes.) Then you can tie the upper, more complicated portion of the knot exactly the same as you always have, using the muscle memory you've cultivated over all these years.

Oh, don't kill it! Yours has its own charm. The visuals that have nothing to do with dogs or fish are actually quite lovely.

I'd forgotten about the whole fishin' trip thing. Yes, your video is FAR better. Mine actually detracts from the song.

Let's let yours run on. I'm tempted to kill mine, actually, but the votes that would perish that way mean less renown for TCJ on Videosift. I wonder if I can fool Siftbot into thinking mine's a dupe of yours? Then the votes would be transferred over.

We sure do!

I didn't notice yours when I posted! Or if I did, I already forgot.... brain like swiss cheese lately.

Those were weird visuals on your posting. Started out great, but the timing was odd, wasn't it? Too quick on the fades. And what do fish have to do with anything?

I do love this song. I know EXACTLY where I was when I first heard the first notes of the Trinity Session CD. I was cleaved in two. Rooted. I think I stopped breathing. I know I stopped moving. It still gets to me.

We have good taste!

In reply to this comment by calvados:
Oh they'll both make it. But yes, I was reminded of TCJ thanks to you posting "Mining for Gold", which is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.

I like it so much that I posted it awhile ago, actually. It should appear in your related videos. But I'm not fussed about it and yours is getting lots of views these days, which is all to the good, since the world needs more people who know the Cowboy Junkies. Your video for that song is superior to mine, too.

In reply to this comment by bareboards2:
So if your Blue Moon gets published and my Mining for Gold doesn't....

It'll be proof of no justice in the world.

Or proof of my taste in music is lacking.... I didn't sift this because I liked their original better. (You did find this after watching Mining for Gold, right? If not... then ignore this comment.)

Thanks chic!

Thanks. Kicking Nazi ass during World War II was her bread and butter back in her earliest days. Every once in a blue moon the writers will throw Nazis into a story as a hat tip to her history. Also, who doesn't like to see fascists get their asses handed to them? Outside of fascists, that is. It's safe to say that =w= has no white supremacist fans.

It appears we are not the asshats eachother thought to be.

my name is Brent. I like to ride a mountain bike, massive earphones on and enjoy the outside.
long, or short walks on the beach.

"All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages. At first the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms;
And then the whining school-boy, with his satchel
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school. And then the lover,
Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad
Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier,
Full of strange oaths, and bearded like the pard,
Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel,
Seeking the bubble reputation
Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice,
In fair round belly with good capon lin'd,
With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,
Full of wise saws and modern instances;
And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts
Into the lean and slipper'd pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose and pouch on side;
His youthful hose, well sav'd, a world too wide
For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice,
Turning again toward childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,
That ends this strange eventful history,
Is second childishness and mere oblivion;
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything."

Suprisingly no mention of baldness.

How on earth did we get to this point? From trading silly insults to hair (or lack thereof) to Shakespeare. If only all life's conversations evolved in this matter.

I shave my head, I bypass the entire ordeal of hair. half the time facial hair is longer then my scalp hair. its odd. 18-27 complete hippy look, long hair cut on occasions but that was once in a blue moon soo long scraggly hair and facial hair was prevalent for damn near ten years. Then this shaving and such started. reminds me of hearing something about Shakespeare 7 life's of men. or something like that.

In reply to this comment by Fantomas:
The irony of the whole affair is that I actually have a fairly full beard myself, although I do shave my neck. I guess that makes me a neckbeard in denial. With the modus operandi of neckbeards being rage over the internet, it only serves to confirm the diagnosis.

" neckbeard "

made me *sad to admit* almost piss myself.

hydrating after work and sifting can be messy.

Well he can play a support once in a blue moon, but he CAN NOT carry a film on his own. I still get pretty twisted up when I recall of Planet of the Apes. Yes I blame Burton as well for his casting an actual ape to play lead, alongside greats like Helena Bonham Carter and Tim Roth. Bottom line Mark Walberg Ruins Films more often than not. Someone dispute this!
>> ^RedSky:

He's quite an inconsistent actor but when I see him nail roles like in The Departed, it makes me wonder if he's just terrible at picking scripts and in this case directors.>> ^rosekat:
Mark Wahlberg is the other thing people hate about it. And in general.
>> ^swedishfriend:
The Happening had the least ridiculous premise of all his films yet that is what people hate about it. The wind noises was the ONLY thing wrong with that film! Fuck anyone who thinks otherwise!

The more eclectic and obscure something is, the less chance that people will watch it. The more eye-popping the title, the higher chance people will watch it. Some people don't want to think this, but that's the way it works.

Once in a blue moon, your super obscure video will catch a lucky break, stars align and the right people see it at the right time and it powers through - once you get over a certain number of votes, it's sorta self-reinforcing, usually.

An "ok" video, can be propelled to lots and lots of votes with the right timing, title and tags. Like @dag suggests, while we're technically not allowed to vote by member name, it does have an effect on whether or not you watch a sift. Some people you know have good taste have a larger chance of having their sift watched by you, people you have no idea about, you look at the title, thumbnail, number of comments and decide "am I gonna watch this or not". We all have an attention span of nanoseconds, so the stuff better hit well and hit hard, or people skip it.

Or you can just sift something with cats.

Yeah. Never saw that coming.

The cons blocking appointments?

Must be a blue moon.

my point was that u said "don't u think its strange that we are the only animals to cook meat "
When we equally cook non meat as much as meats.

weather or not we cook something dose not factor into if we should or shouldn't eat it or which is more or less natural or healthy.

And that u are probably equally as likely to get food pionsing from non meats as meats if they r left out. obviously some meats store better than others the same is for some non meats.

I think ethically its wrong to eat meat , but also having said that i think unless a food actually makes you ill its a bit stupid to not eat it when u visiting a persons house. most often the meat is dead anny way so long as your main stay is vegetarian eating meet every blue moon with people dosent endorse meat eating and the creature was already dead. I think its probably a bad idea to forse the body to be incompatible with meat which can happen if u never eat meat. also i don't have that much of an ethical problem people eating bugs or creatures that are very stupid , or very well looked after before slaughter.

Does this thread have anything to do with the BLUE MOON tonight?
