Random is Fun! Especially When It’s in VIDEO…

by rachaelgking on January 13, 2010 · 55 comments

I’m going to busy slaving away on a few lovely e-things for my dear friends cavy and Lizzy Marie today, but I did want to share a few v-gems with you.

I went hunting for my Flip on Sunday, as I will need it for a very special project tomorrow evening-

{{{Sidebar: Going to be in DC tomorrow? Want to be part of something amazing?? Shoot me a message on Twitter or email me!}}}

-and imagine my surprise when I discovered, oh, 20 random videos on the camera that I barely remembered taking.

LE AWESOME.

First came, oh, ten ridiculous memories from the Holiday Happy Hour. I, of course, brought my singing Christmas hat with me. And then decided that this would be the best way to utilize it:

Next I decided to document an oh so rare moment in time- an absolute unicorn in manhood practices, if you will…

And finally, this absolute golden nugget must have come from a drunken night on the couch at home. If you’re not familiar with Step Up 2: The Streets, it is a moving and enriching film involving the following plot: “Romantic sparks occur between two dance students from different backgrounds at the Maryland School of the Arts.”

And… yeah. That’s basically all you need to know. Enjoy.

By the by, tomorrow will be another installment of TMI Thursday: “Post Secret” Edition! Send ‘em in now if you want to be in there tomorrow…

It was a moment in history captured on video…no doubt. I have never seen men go to the bathroom together.

In a HOARD, no less. Wtf??

7 Ken January 13, 2010 at 10:09 am

Stumbled across your blog from another blog across the pond. The our guys going to the bathroom vid made me laugh. There is no reason for guys to go to the bathroom together because the unwritten rule is you don’t carry on conversations in the men’s room anyway! :-)

I know!!! I had to whip out the camera on that one.

Thanks for stopping by!

8 jasmine January 13, 2010 at 10:10 am

oh my god, i would…idk, make out with carrto top in order to procure a hat like the one you’re wearing in the first video!

I left it AT THE FREAKING BAR that night. How dumb am I??

9 T. The Destructor January 13, 2010 at 10:10 am

OOH I love Post Secret, can’t wait for tomorrow!

Me too. :-)

I don’t care what excuse those guys had, if any, no pack of straight men who know each other go to the bathroom together. Well there is one excuse…helping an elderly blind relative find the bathroom. But what he does in there is still on his own.

In plain sight of their lady friends, no less. What were they thinking??

13 ally January 13, 2010 at 10:40 am

These are great. I never think to make videos when I’m out … they’re much cooler than just snapping photos.

I’m a fan. And the Flip makes it impossibly easy, too.

14 Mary January 13, 2010 at 10:40 am

My favorite part was Brad pointing out that he was NOT one of the guys who decided to party in the men’s room. I can rest easy now.

I know, right? Unfortunately… B was.

I covet that hat, if it shows up missing I am the primary suspect.

What a treat :) I love your v-gem goodies. I want more! I want more now! Nowwwwwwww! GIMMEEEE.

There were a zillion, but trust, they weren’t all gold. They WERE, however, all quite strange.

17 Nickie January 13, 2010 at 11:08 am

Love the hat and the face you made! It was so priceless.

I need to get me a Flip!

You really do. They’re the easiest thing in the world. Even a caveman I can do it!

18 Just A Girl January 13, 2010 at 11:16 am

Um I’m apparently alone in this but my favorite is B saying, “What I cared about was the dance.” Roflcopter.

It’s the passion in his voice. Palpable.

THIS is why everyone needs a flipcam. v-gems = magic.

Hey, Flip, are you listening? I think I should get to do a giveaway or something…

20 littlemsblogger January 13, 2010 at 11:33 am

I don’t believe all 4 men went to the bathroom together ….that’s a fable….I wonder did they have to stop and ask for directions or wander aimlessly around the bar?

Maybe they held hands so they wouldn’t get lost.

21 coffeypot January 13, 2010 at 11:37 am

I would love to have that hat when I go into a tittie bar. About the time the dancer does a deep-knee-bend in frot of my face, I would let the hat start the dancing thing. Cool huh? Signed – Dork!

Please do it.

In July.

22 Nikki January 13, 2010 at 11:41 am

You have huge balls, wearing that thing in public. See! you already accessorize well.

It does match my balls quite nicely.

23 hillbillyduhn January 13, 2010 at 11:43 am

Odd question: Why is it okay for woman but not men? I mean, what if they were syncronizing, or picking out which chics to hit on so they don’t look like asshats trying for the same one…OR they just didn’t get any action at the bar so they thought that they’d meet in the mens room…. No?

Fine. I tried to help em…

No. Never. Not at all. You are kind for trying, though.

Maybe those guys wanted to see who could crush the most Jager Bombs whist pissing? I don’t know…it’s the best I could come up with. Seriously though, what straight men go to the bathroom together? If another man so much as shifts in his seat when I get up to go to the bathroom I immediately ask “Where are YOU going?”

(And I think I fell in love with B just a little with his dance story.)

That dance story was an instant classic.

31 Kimberly@PrettyPinkMomma January 13, 2010 at 1:49 pm

I need a Flip! Definitely on my must have list – but my hubby is cheap so I might end up with some ghetto brand from Big Lots instead, lol! Not really lol, nope, more like col :( My “all the cool kids have one!” argument isn’t winning him over….yet

It’s so small, you can totally sneak-buy it!!
