We were out skiing all morning and came back to the lodge without a key. Boredom ensued.

The story behind this footage, is that I had all these 8mm tapes, mostly our tapes along with some borrowed from Jason T.

Sometimes the only thing better than one idiot with a camera, is two idiots with a camera. It wasn’t very difficult cutting up video from two different tapes and splicing it all together into a memorable montage of redneck history.

A short note about this video and the ones I’ll post here over the next few days:
Back in 2000, we conned mom and dad into throwing down money for a video camera so that we could quote “film a high school graduation ceremony”, and they fell for it. So, we get the camera home, and it’s sitting there innocently for 30 minutes while we’re figuring out how to work it. The inaugural footage captured over the next hour or so pretty much broke in our Sony Digicam for the kind of drama it would be forced to record over the remainder of it’s short technological timespan. Idiocy, brawls, explosions, general stupidity, an occasional albino squirrel, and additional forms of unmentionable sophmoric behavior. And I say short life span, for you see several months later, it sustained heavy water damage minutes before the exact event it was specifically purchased to record. Turns out if you’re holding an umbrella during a graduation ceremony, and the rain is running off the umberella directly into mom’s purse, creating a sort of “purse fish bowl”, well, any camera inside won’t work very well after that.

And Best Buy’s expensive “insurance” policy, well, end of story.

More videos soon.
