Jonathan Harris who was of course Dr Smith on Lost in Space relates how he got the job .

What a talent God put in that guy. You would hate him then feel sorry for him.

What an interesting listen.

The Iliad

On 14 August, we brought you a live reading of The Iliad. More than sixty artists, 18,255 lines of text and audience of more than 50,000 people across the world, watching online or in person at the Almeida and the British Museum.

I truly hope to, at some point, embarrass my kids this way. Level 1 Dadding here.

Pay $9.99 a month for ad free YouTube and additional original content. Or you can just install the Ad Blocker app for free and not care about YouTube "stars".

Ive used adblocker for years and always will. My wife though watches a lot of YouTube movies and doesn't use it. She discovered YT after we dumped Netflix. Netflix never had anything to stream and now they've hiked rates again. F them.

I'm not sure why stars is in quotes. FWIW, many have gone on the record and said don't watch the commercials unless you are interested in them. Definitely don't do it if you are looking to support them. It is more support if you send them something like $1 every 2 years rather than watch every ad on every video during that time. Most of the channels I watch don't even have ads anymore - they rely on brand deals or people buying their merch.

Because I'm a "Grandpa" who doesn't respect YouTube celebrities even if they make more money than TV actors.

Your video led me to this one on Canadian accents.Australian explains Canadian accent.

She pretty much nails it. Me personally I slur my syllables together and it is very noticeable and a little embarrassing, but that's me. Her "eh?" is not quite right, at least her explanation of how we use it, but it's close enough. It's not a Fonzy Aaaa. Eh is a question. It's a short, quick Eh?

She's got "about" correct.

I was impressed.

edit: Reading the comments...don't read the comments.

About to watch it but Ill guess about is pronounced aboot?

EDIT: I was wrong. My cousin tried to get our Canadian cousin to say "Theres a mouse in the house get it out"...he seemed to say it right and disappointed my cousin

Story of US submarines in WW2

Pretty interesting. Makes me mad that brass refused to acknowledge the bad torps and instead relieved captains of their boats.

Found on Blue's. What the holy hell did I just watch?

I have no idea what this is. I have no idea what it represents. It is wrong in many, many ways. It is NSFAnydamnthing. It is also so absurdly odd that I had to share.

LOL. Good. Lord.

Cool carpentry ideas of what to do with the top floor of a house when the roof is slanted. We lived in a house like this once when I was young, and I wish my dad had thought of it.

Trap-door wine cellar. I genuinely like this, but I was just waiting for someone to fall through the hole.

That's nightmarishly awesome.

This little baby elephant just wanted a cuddle so bad

I was going to post a link to the Hysterical Literature playlist, but I see that Vorret already covered that a while back. Any way, it's still an ongoing thing, and is as awesome as ever.

Is this the ones where the women read erotic books while sitting on one of those vibration jack off machines?

Similar, but classier (it's done as an art project as opposed to being smut for smut's sake). The books aren't erotica -- they're literature selected by the women who sat for the sessions -- and they don't use Sybian saddles, just an off-camera assistant with a vibrator. I wouldn't say the videos are erotic (ymmv), but they are damned funny. In the words of the creator: "Hysterical Literature is a video art series by NYC-based photographer and filmmaker Clayton Cubitt. It explores feminism, mind/body dualism, distraction portraiture, and the contrast between culture and sexuality. (It's also just really fun to watch.)"

I consider the machine to be less...well...slutty. But they are kinda funny.

To each their own. There isn't a woman in the entire series that I'd describe as "slutty" though.

Hey, remember that time GWAR covered She Bop? Come for the Cyndi Lauper. Stay for the Joey Ramone. Probably NSFW as explaining to your boss why you're watching it might get..weird.

GWAR is always the best on these AV Club covers...

Who was the Haley Reinhart fan in the house? This one's for you.

In some alternate universe postmodern jukebox gets the nod to do the music for a fallout game. I really wonder how that would sound.

For the record if they are the ones I'm thinking of, I loved them. Artistic and erotic and sexy as hell. The idea that they could be considered "slutty" is beyond comprehension.

Daehawk's view of the world is not shared by many people here on OO, to the best of my knowledge.

edit: Double checked. Yes, they are what I was thinking they were.

Some of those are more erotic than most porn on the internet. I wonder what PG's wife would have to say about them?

Seems like I've seen the woman at the start of the video, but the rest of it was new to me.

I'm torn between funny and dumb. I guess it can be both.
