Sharp eyed viewers will good memories will have spotted tributes to XKCD cartoons in previous videos I have uploaded. The Christmas season had me thinking about what’s different now compared to when I was a child.

Enjoyed these last 2 posts very much, thank you, but I think that you may owe your readers a refund, and for the last post too, since there were no appreciable elements of anger expressed. Or maybe you could change the title of your blog to “Angry 363 Days a Year”. Or “Not As Angry Anymore Thank You Very Much”.

This was hilarious, and the child/videographer who was laughing behind the camera got me laughing, too. But that slide was pretty terrifying. Most of them are, which is why I never go down those ultra-scary slides at water parks. Why do they build these things for kids? It’s like Thunderdome for crying out loud: “Two children enter, one child leaves …”
