Oh, Charlene that was not necessary … that one was 75 seconds. The other vid, with four USB HDs and a quad USB expansion module, was only 15 seconds. “We get the picture here … somebody actually bought FOUR of these things?!”

I’ve just got into YouTube, mostly for miltech and industrial videos. The run of the mill YouTube videos tend to make them look sparkling in comparison. Cheers — MrG / http://www.vectorsite.net/gblog.html

@Mike

That was Top Gear.
Captain Slow and The Hamster did that bit with their usual style and panache.

Yeah, the Call Girl made me remember some guys I knew who would take one look at it and think:
“WOW! I want one!” I also recall cruising on Amazon.com and finding the “USB Humping Dog”. It’s a little plastic dog with a USB connector … well, never mind where it is … that you plug into a USB port and it … well, never mind what it does. Somebody commented: “Adds a touch of sophistication and class to your $5,000 laptop!” Cheers — MrG / http://www.vectorsite.net/gblog.html

I wonder if they still have any in stock?

Here’s a 1920′s snowmobile design similar to the RUC.

The show you’re thinking of was i believe “Top Gear”. Two of the presenters (James May and Richard Hammond) used the service as a means of test-driving a bunch of different everyday cars – more for comedy than as anything else.

Quite funny, actually.

I think the call girl phone would look great next to the leg lamp.

I saw a show where a service used those collapsible motorcycles to help people too drunk to drive. I believe it was in the U.K, if someone was too drunk to drive they would call this service, the service would send a person out on one of those bikes to the drunk person. The person would take apart his bike, place the bike in the drunk person’s car and drive the car and the drunk person home. He would then reassemble his bike and drive back to the service. The car and the drunk are both home.

That call girl phone is so classy! It’ll feel right at home at the Vanderbilt Estate at Martha’s Vineyard.
