Driving a Train through your Media Brain

I’m not posting these for the purpose of derision (at least, I think I’m not…), I’ve just always found the theremin strangely compelling, the same way I find this individual strangely compelling. It’s metaphysically analogous to the way dog owners resemble their pets, only it’s this guy and a theremin. Again, not necessarily derision, just…slack jawed fascination?

Also want to put in there that, after blasting through a few of these, the theremin looks like a bitch to play. That’s probably what’s continually stopping me from deriding; base respect. (?)

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this. The series as a whole makes me fairly uncomfortable, but this, the timing of this short intro, is throat-chortlingly brilliant. I think about it, in the darkness; I can hear Dr. Steve, reciting, reciting, quietly, quietly.

First, I must see This film!!?!

13,500 tons. Able to excavate 240,000 tons of coal a day. The ultimate compensatory vehicle for the tiny-peni-ed individual (better than a Tahoe with a machine gun on the front).

You can read the specs at the wikipedia article. Heads up – it’s pretty boring!
