Ok so my situation is this: I’m trapped in Curacao (in the Caribbean) for an extra week—ooooh poor me—except the reason is that I have a horrible flu and can’t fly. Anyway, things like Hulu and most network sites do not work for me. Soo… I NEED ENTERTAINMENT! I’m going loco! My roommate left already, but my stay is delayed almost a week. I have several days of sitting in a hotel room needing entertainment! So what is on YouTube? What is on other non-US-dependent video? HEEEEEEELLLLLLLPPPPP!!! Pretty please? ---

NSFW This is an OLD video, and I’m always amazed to find it still survives on Youtube. It’s just…a guy playing piano. Without using his hands. Always makes me laugh, and the number one reason I wish my mom would get a computer is so I could show her this. 😛 Did I mention the NSFW? Grandma would be IMPRESSED. Your 15 year old niece might be a little scared, though. 😛 [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBgamAvIC_w) ---
