^marine: if it was Wichita, they would have both had mullets and they would have been in front of a mobile home, with a tornado in the background (I grew up in Wichita, BTW).

NOE GUISE!!1 THIS IZ WICHITA, KANZIS!
I CAN TOTULLY TELL FROM TEH GRASS!!11

Seriously, unless you know that exact fucking street, stop claiming to know where this is.

I watched it. Pretty good little summary. Dr. Seelig is a little on the dry side and therefore might not appeal to the philistines.

As Farhad might say, the philistines here just don't appreciate the good stuff.

Walsh is a fantastic guitar player, and of course, a Wichita boy.

I saw you were the only one that upvoted the Rainmaker's tunes. Bob Walkenhorst and the boys are Kansas City natives. They came so close to really hitting it big. Their first album, The Rainmakers, was critically acclaimed, but the follow-up album sputtered and ruined their chances. I love their lyrics,
One line is a favorite from the song "The wages of sin"

"The wages of sin is 2 bucks an hour and working weekends."

Thanks, buddy! You must like this song because the imagery is similar to what you might see right before the gas puts you under. Maybe.

nibiyabi - Kansas isn't in the south, it's in the middle of nowhere.

I grew up in Wichita and it's every bit of "stick up the butt" crap hole as this video suggests. I'm sooooo glad I left that state.

From the wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_Skin_body_armor

On August 3, 2007 the Department of Justice announced that the NIJ had reviewed evidence provided by the body armor manufacturer and has determined that the evidence is insufficient to demonstrate that the body armor model will maintain its ballistic performance over its six-year declared warranty period. Because of this, Dragon Skin has been found not in complaince with the NIJ's testing program and has been removed from the NIJ's list of bullet-resistant body armor models that satisfy its requirements.[2] Pinnacle CEO Murray Neal responded that this move was unprecedented, political, and not about the quality of the vests because they aren't saying they've failed any ballistics. He says it's about a dispute with the paperwork to deal with a warranty issue instead, in which the warranty period of Dragon Skin is longer than that of most other commercial vests.

On August 20, 2007 at the United States Test Laboratory in Wichita, Kansas, nine Dragon Skin SOV-2000 (Level III) body armor panels were retested, for the purpose of validating Pinnacle Armor's six year warranty. The panels tested were between 5.75 years old to 6.6 years old. All items met the NIJ Level III ballistic protection, confirming Pinnacle Armor's six-year warranty for full ballistic protection.[29]. Pinnacle resubmitted the SOV-2000 vest to the NIJ for certification based on this successful testing, but this application was rejected because the test had not been properly documented. As of November 2007, Pinnacle is suing to force the NIJ to recertify the SOV-2000 vest without testing it.

cow-jacking near a marshall....that's a star
stealing ammonia from farmers for yer lab in Oklahoma and spotted....two stars
hunting without a license with fully automatic weapons....they have to call Wichita for a helicopter.....

As you may know Ive created a playlist of many of the dead videos on the sift. As its been there for awhile, and there have been quite a few views of it, very few vids have been fixed or discarded. I thought a list just of yours might be of some help. The list below are all your videos on my playlist. There may be a few errors, but I gave it my best shot.

I just found 60otaku's cache of landscape videos -- all 258 of them -- on YouTube while looking for the original audio of Wichita Lineman. Each one is an original film with a classic pop song as soundtrack. And every single one carries the same description/disclaimer:

Music and an image do not have a direct elation.
Please understand the situation...(^^;)
A chief aim is music to the last !

I know where I'll be spending the rest of this weekend ...

It's taken me over 30 years to figure out that this is one of my favourite songs.

From Wikipedia:

"Wichita Lineman" is a popular song written by Jimmy Webb in 1968, first recorded by Glen Campbell and widely covered since. Campbell's version, which appeared on his 1968 album Wichita Lineman, reached #3 on the US charts, remaining in the Top 100 for 15 weeks. In 2004, Rolling Stone magazine's list of the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time" ranked "Wichita Lineman" at #192. It has been referred to as 'the first existential country song'.

Webb was inspired to write the lyrics when he saw a solitary lineman near the Kansas-Oklahoma border, possibly in Wichita County, Kansas or south of Wichita, Kansas. (Despite the identical names, the city and county are over 250 road miles (400 km) apart, and the city is noticeably closer to the Oklahoma border than the county.) The lyric describes the longing that a telephone lineman feels for a woman whose voice he hears, perhaps through attaching an earpiece to a stretch of telephone line he is working on. ...

In the first recording, by Glen Campbell, a notable feature of Al de Lory's orchestral arrangement is that the violins and a Gulbranson synthesiser mimic the sounds that a lineman might hear when attaching a telephone earpiece to a long stretch of raw telephone or telegraph line i.e. without typical line equalisation and filtering. One would be aware of high-frequency tones fading in and out, caused by the accidental rectification (the rusty bolt effect) of heterodynes between many radio stations (the violins play this sound); and occasional snatches of Morse Code from radio amateurs or utility stations (this is heard after the line of lyric, "is still on the line"). Heterodynes are also referenced in the lyric, "I can hear you in the whine".

... sounds like it, choggie. ... Or not! From the Wichita Eagle: "KSN deals suspension to Kobbe".
