+38 1. mikeab commented 13 years ago on video Impressive Tennis Hit

I think the other player was too stunned to do anything, he just stood and watched.

Where was the foul language? I'm disappointed. :(

But her reaction after she realised what she said is hilarious. :D

#1
I actually enjoyed the music as much as the action.

She sure can fit a lot under that dress.

#3 A "Dickens" of a time. :) Never heard that one before.

#1 Yeah, but $20 million worth of spare time. Wow!

+11 6. mikeab commented 13 years ago on video Police hits traffic signal post

#2 What ya gunna do when they come.. at you at 100mph.

#6 Rather difficult to make way for someone who's travelling so fast. Yeah, emergency services have to rush in an emergency, but there's "rushing", and then there's "being an idiot".

+11 7. mikeab commented 11 years ago on video The Lost Thing - Short Film

Fantastically imaginative! Themes of adult life compared to childhood, of not "wanting to forget" and keeping a place for all the 'childish' thoughts and wonderings.

But we do tend to forget, being too busy with adulthood.

Modern day mummification. The ancient egyptians would have loved this.

A good lesson illustrated - don't try to swerve at speed. Just brake instead.

+8 10. mikeab commented 13 years ago on video Man climbs up a 40 metre tree

I wanted to see him getting down - it can be more tricky than going up.

+7 11. mikeab commented 13 years ago on video World's widest slip and slide

I was expecting a monster attack or something dramatic, what with the music and the way it was shot.

#5 I have a vague memory of similar stuff in my childhood :)

As for the video - couldn't a lot of the marketing have been cut from the end?

+7 13. mikeab commented 12 years ago on video Honeybee Swarm With Bare Hands

#7 Before bees swarm they eat a lot of honey (so they have enough energy until they find a new home) which makes them quite docile. A full bee is a contented bee :)

A better solution: Don't hang out with people who are so rude as to give their phone more attention than you.

+7 15. mikeab commented 11 years ago on video Unicycle Football

I was wanting to see how they'd play football on unicycles, but no, it's that American type of "football".

+6 16. mikeab commented 13 years ago on video The last free people on this planet

The last free people? Being ignorant of all the advancements of humanity makes them free?
Free of greed and exploitation I guess, but what about all the positives?
Who among us would like to leave all the benefits of civilisation behind to go live in the jungle?

Just a thought.

+6 17. mikeab commented 13 years ago on video How to Photograph Wolves at Wolf Park

This evokes what it must have been like when man first domesticated wolves - what was the nature of that relationship? Did they help each other when hunting? How did that relationship evolve into all the different breeds we see today, from hunting dogs, sheep dogs and even more recent sniffer dogs and hearing/seeing dogs? Fascinating stuff.

Did that rider in front of him at 3:25 do a front wheelie?

Why is no one dancing? Oh yeah, too busing filming on their phones.

Nice natural moves, this kid is good. And I should know - I've sat through hours of my dad practising his coin magic on me.

Um, staged?
Picture of mikeab37 achievements

+5 22. mikeab commented 11 years ago on video Pumpkin Nutshot

Not the least bit entertaining or even slightly humorous.

Just sad that some people like to film this kind of stuff, and even sadder that some people like to post it to a video site. But what's saddest of all is some people accept this rubbish to their video site.

What I find most amazing is just how extraordinarily tall that building is, and this video gives a good perspective on just how high it really is.

I didn't think wild cheetahs formed such big groups as this? I always thought cheetahs were mostly solitary.

Honeypot ants! I'd never heard of these strange things before.

Coke knew exactly what kind of reaction they'd get. Controversy like this makes for free publicity - just look at all the coments on here and the fact it was actualy posted, and accepted, on to Snotr.

#3 I don't get it either but he's obviously making a living from it and, most importantly, is enjoying what he's doing. I feel quite envious. If only I had a job which evoked such passion - would never have to work again :)

Interesting how their bodies shimmer, looks like waves. Something like you'd see on a squid or an octopus.

+3 33. mikeab commented 13 years ago on video Newsman finds politician's name funny

This guy (Paul Henry) was a New Zealand T.V. presenter. He's a bit of a tool. Although a bit funny at times - I did smirk a bit at his "mustache gate" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yt9olqwIeE - he's totally not suited to be a T.V. presenter with his inappropriate and blatantly racist comments. He resigned recently, but why T.V.N.Z didn't fire him a long time ago is beyond me.

This is like the good ole keg races we did in our younger days - skull a beer, spin around like he did then race a set course to see who's the champion keg racer - much hilarity ensued.

+2 53. mikeab commented 8 years ago on video Things Men Do That Make Women Secretly Jealous

#8 I think it all has to come from within, and the realisation that the freedom and permission to be ourselves comes not from society but from our own beliefs. We all, as individuals, contribute towards society's norms.

0 68. mikeab commented 9 years ago on video You're Doing It All Wrong - How to Sauce Pasta

The problem with this way is the proportion of pasta to sauce is the same for each mouthful. Sometimes while eating I want more pasta, or more sauce, which isn't possible when it's all blended together.

-4 77. mikeab commented 12 years ago on video The Bridge

I think he should be charged with murdering his own son, as he had to do something that he knew would kill him.

If he'd done nothing and the people died, I think the most he could be charged with is manslaughter by neglect, as he didn't have to actually do anything.

Anyway, it kind of reminds me of this ethics problem:
