04.8 – once upon a time in YouTube/episode 8: LAY IT ALL OUT/FINALE

The continuation and last episode of a story told through YouTube videos…

. . .

RECAP from previous Episode 7b:
When I rip the freakin’ thing off of me, I think I’m free of it–Free at last! Only…

Episode 8: LAYING IT ALL OUT (FINALE)

Only when I rip it off, I come off too. Whaddaheck you saying… YOU may be saying. Well, like Super Glue, the s/he/it is so stuck on me that when I rip it off, I’m all ripped up too.

If I want to do harakiri, I would’ve time transported back to the Edo Period, but since not–again, whaddaheck?!

Well, du-uh–I didn’t have a choice. So off with the s/he/it meant off with the me.

So I’m all ripped up and make a beeline straight to hell because, finally, I’m out of the picture; I’m outta here.

And nobody can resurrect me from the dead. Nobody.

Thank you for watching once upon a time in YouTube.

(For the finale, I figured whaddaheck! Let’s just embed the YouTube videos instead of linking to them like what I did on the previous episodes. Below, you’ll still see the extensive info about the vids. Enjoy!)

Episode 4a: INTO ANOTHER DIMENSION

… Poof! We were each individually transported into another space and time. I dunno what happened to the birds but where I was seemed like something from the future. There were lots of people all over only they weren’t walking around; it was like they were swimming in the air–not like the crawl, more like the breaststroke or treading and diving in the air, swim/flying around other people or swooping/swooping into tall, thin building structures.

When me and the three birds flew to the moon, it felt like we were in heaven on account of the tree dripping with lollipops/lollipops and Blackberries but the big action was when the bobbleheads popped out of bubbles that came crashing down shattering into millions of pieces that regrouped, morphing into…


Episode 3: HUNGER

…giant strips of turkey bacon using their wrinkly wavy bodies to spring up and down in lock-stepped organized lines. Like marching ants encircling an object, they took great care to avoid us (unlike some kamikazi bobbleheads we know).

Seeing as all this time me and the birds didn’t have a bite to eat we jumped at the chance to get some bacon down our throats. It wasn’t easy because they’d been carefully avoiding us but after a couple of tries we each were able to jump up (or fly atop of, for the birds) onto the darn things sinking our teeth (beaks for the birds) into the bacon.

Obviously, these weren’t normal bacon strips (as normal as turkey bacon can be) so the moment we bit into them…

RECAP of Episode 1

The three little birds and I flew to the moon where we saw a lollipops/lollipops and BlackBerries laden tree but when we went to pluck the pops, some kinda bubbly like thingies oozed up and started popping all around us. And what popped out from those bubbles were…


Episode 2: AN ENCOUNTER WITH MISSILES OF A DIFFERENT KIND

…Bobble-heads!!!

All kinds of bobbleheads, like baseball bobbleheads, hockey bobbleheads, Star Wars bobbleheads, ‘N Sync/Conan bobbleheads, hawaiian bobbleheads, Star Trek, Betty Boop, Captain America, KISS… heck, anything-you-can-think-of bobbleheads!

Funny thing was, the moment those bobbleheads popped out of the bubbles, the tree was like, poof! It vanished into thin air, just like that!

Man, just when I was salivating for some sweet/sweet treats.

The thing is, when the bobbleheads popped out they eventually came crashing back down like guided missiles targeting us. We had to scramble for our lives, running in zig zags/zig zags to avoid the once innocent bobbles that shattered on contact into a million pieces. Just like in the movies, the shattered pieces regrouped, morphing into…

04.1 – once upon a time in YouTube/episode 1: IN THE BEGINNING

. . .
Everyone knows the story of how YouTube became the behemouth goto place on the web (like where Justin Bieber got discovered) but if not, no biggie–this post is not the place that’s gonna go into detail about that. Here, we’re going to try an experiment and have you link/click your way through a story made up of the legions of videos on YouTube.
. . .
Here it goes…
(don’t forget to click on the green (blue for iPad) video links)


Episode 1: IN THE BEGINNING

It was a dark and stormy night. I’d just had some ice cream and cake and was about to go to sleep when I saw three little birds looking in through the mirror so we packed up and flew to the moon.

Stay tuned for new episodes of- “once upon a time in YouTube.” If you know of any cool YouTube videos that might go with the flow of the story or that moves the story in other directions, just comment with a link and tell me about how/where you think your YouTube video ought to go.

I’m shooting for nothing over a PG rating which brings me to a disclaimer: 1) while I’m trying to restrict the vids to those from YouTube, I’m realizing that some of the links don’t work on iPads for which I will try to find a way to resolve so sorry until then; 2) everything but the last video fits in this PG rating category but once in a while, something’ll slip through although usually not heavily emphasized.

For more information about the links, click on the “Links 04” tab on the navigation bar. I tried adding “footnotes” in the text but it was too distracting; it’s easy to figure what goes with what anyway. If a link goes bad, please send me a note, via the comment box below.

Enjoy…
