Meh, you two seem more like the "slightly perturbed high school chemistry teacher with the missing hand" types.

Funny thing though, at my high school one of the chem teachers actually was missing a hand, but he also would mix chemicals randomly at the end of the course. I never had him, I had the lady who taught us how to make silvered bottles.

heh, I had the chem teacher who kept a human fetus in the closet...........ok, it was actually a kangaroo fetus, not a human one....and he didn't keep it in the closet......the closet was where he kept his box of human bones....

Hah!
My random "Whatever" video I made for Morgan back during the Paris Hilton thing finally got used.

But seriously:
Damn, the quality on my camera sucks. XD <3

I've actually come to terms with no whatever thing now. I finally seen that I actually CAN live without a whatever thing. Then again, having one again would kick ass.

Yeah, I know. It would be cool to get a second video a week again though. It doesn't have to have any format either. Say you are hanging out and something funny is about to go done. Some gets dared to do something ridiculous. Anything at all.

Hell I'D even try my hand at doing a whatever thing. Not just the opening video, but the whole thing. Too bad I'm poor and don't have easy access to a video camera. Or a Mac to edit on.

I could give it a shot, I recently bought a digital camcorder and I have Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 for editing.
If you guys want me too, and if LRR is willing to put it up, I could try and do a "standard" WT, or whatever else.

I bet Morgan doesn't do it because of the editing involved. If he just shot the video and someone else edited, I bet he would do it more often.

Not to cool the thread or anything, but I recently saw this documentary on chicken breeding, and it's really *really* gross. Unless you're a bona fide carnivore like me, it might well serve the purpose its creators had in mind and put you off eating animals entirely. Just know this: These birds are put under medication and extreme stress to produce up to 3 eggs are day or grow obscenely fast, whichever is desired. The latter also leads to a high amount of heart failures, thus these birds are really on the edge. You shut off the lights and clap your hands, a bunch of them is going into arrest right there.

Oh snap, I just made some new people who eat the food of my food... Enjoy the rest of your weekend, and please don't feel bad for the animals.

nah. Chickens run around with their heads missing. They're stupider than sheep!

besides, if you start trying to be humane to your food, then you develop an affection for it, and then you give it a name, and you can't give your food a name, because the moment it gets a name, it's not food anymore, it's a pet.

You don't eat pets.

My mom has a great story about that when she was growing up. My grandpa raised rabbits to eat. My mom got attached to one, and learned to never again ask which rabbit they were eating that night.

I stand corrected. Apparently, you do eat pets.

This video, along with Ask Kathleen, The Death of the Hyphen, and Limited Return are all broken in the LRR Archive. Additionally, they are not present in the WhateverLRR Channel, so they are only available on the DVD(I double-checked this with the Video Availability article on the Wiki).
Any chance of these missing videos being uploaded somewhere?
