    Gah! I knew better! I tried not, but the cringe just becomes automatic after a while. Ugh.

    What’s awesome about everyone watching the video is that you have the post title, and the still frame of the movie tells you what it’s going to be about. And yet you can’t help but listen anyway.

    By the way, did you notice that one of these drives was making the noise that we used for “blue screen” DCTV bump a couple of years ago?

    This would make one of the best noise albums next to “Solo for Wounded CD” ever.
