Here’s another Rube Goldberg type of thing, a boggling and convoluted setup. What compels someone to think of and go through the effort to do something like this, I’ll never know. [This Too Shall Pass](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qybUFnY7Y8w) ---

> [@Muffin](#): > > No, that’s a sprint racing kayak. I thought it looked like a multisport racing boat. Was puzzled because you referred to “sit-on-top” when directing to the wiki link. I’ll pm you **Muffin** , want to ask you a little bit about the boat and about the helmet cam too, don’t want to take over the thread, here. ---

Aagh, this is driving me nuts. Last night I was watching videos from the links off this thread and (in the usual way with youtube) I then looked at some suggested videos from there and ended up watching some video that I thought my boys would find hilarious, but now I can’t find it no matter what I try. I can’t find it in history. It was a dad and a bunch of little boys and girls on a house driveway. They announce they are going to do a stunt. They get a little boy and put his bike helmet on, then the dad lifts him into a bin. Then the other kids get on their bikes and scooters and ram the hell out of the bin and it falls over. Then there is a shot of the little boy crawling out of the bin and saying “I do’ wanna pway bikes anymore”. Obviously it’s faked, but funny (it wouldn’t be funny if it wasn’t faked). Has anyone seen or bookmarked this thing? It’s driving me crazy. I’ve tried every set of search terms I can think of. ---

> [@Machine\_Elf](#): > > [Ellie’s Dancing Shoes](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqkFiA3yKiQ) I tried to put boots on my dog this past winter, since she seemed to be having troubles with her paws when we went out. She wouldn’t put her feet down, just lay there and looked at me as if I had betrayed her. She was very miffed with me right up until dinner. ---
