Yeah Ed’s not bad, but this is my first SDMB post ever where I will brazenly release hold of the microphone from a distance equidistant from the ground as my shoulder so that said microphone falls a good four and a half feet before hitting the floor/ground. This means I’ve somehow out-grossed what I previously posted. [Mac Vs. Dennis](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNEO02JYH50) this next one gets white-knuckly: [**Charlie brings it on with Dennis** , and then the latter cuts loose a bit later, plus other tidbits](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivuQ61h_oVI) [glue might be getting the better of the gang here, but still funky in that crack-y way](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KiR4XPQVA_8) ---
