If You Only Watch One Video About Razor Scooters Today

First of all, let's clear a few things up:

1. There is no new adrenaline sport on the horizon.
2. It was Stadius who said "it was fear that first made Gods in the world," your boyfriend thought right! Although Stadius was talking about Ultimate Frisbee.
3. This guy is your boyfriend

Also, if I ever see a kid doing tricks on a razor scooter, I will murder him, and then I will turn myself in. My years in prison will be made more endurable with the knowledge that I have at least done my part in CLEANING UP THE STREETS.

it was basically that scene in Back to the Future, right before MJFox destroys that kid's scooter and turns it into a skateboard.

I really wish Everything Is Terrible wouldn't chop videos up to try and make them funnier with awkward jump-cuts. I'm pretty sure I would have Lots of Loved if I could have seen the original, baditudical Razor video uncut from the year 2000 without the scene changing every 5 seconds.

Don't be sorry. You should have just left it at that and I would have had a stroke trying to figure out what you meant.
I am now ending all communication with people I don't know well with "I want a khaki hat that says LAB." People might think I'm insane, but goddammit, they'll remember me.

I've been changing the name of my account, not making new ones. I actually talked to Gabe a night or two ago and confirmed it's OK for me to have been changing names.

I'm not avoiding any bans, I'm not skipping around. I'm staying within the rules.

So, relax, technojeremy.

Did TalbainJ just tell me to relax?
It's okay, buddy. Don't get so defensive. I was just curious how you got away with changing your name so much when Da Cake Eatur got banned for the exact same thing (he/she didn't create a new account, either). I wasn't saying Gabe should ban you. I understand the reason for the rule, but it still seems a little silly to me.
Can't we just bond over how awesome Antichrist is?

I thought most of these clips were taken from 30-minute tapes from the bargain bin of oblivion or whatever. Assuming that's the case, THANKS FOR THE EDITING, GUYS.

Also, I think they do a decent job of chopping up the tapes shitty-style for extra lulz. But that's just me.

I read your post and thought, "Hey, a Pepper Anne avatar."

And then I thought, "Wait, why the hell do I instantly recognize a poorly framed image of a decade old cartoon I have never watched in my life, and yet I've lived in this apartment for three months now and still can't remember my phone number or zip code?" And then I started thinking about where my life is headed and I got depressed.

Basically, I blame you and your Pepper Anne avatar for all the problems in my life.

So buying a razor scooter will not only make you extreme to the max, it will also let you travel as fast as a hover round? SUH-WEET! I want a razor scooter for Christmas, guys. Are we cowabunga on this?

I'm pretty sure he was trying, and failing, to say the name of the classical author Statius (which for those of us who speak America's national language, English, is usually pronounced something like Stay-shus, not Stat-i-us). For a dude with frosted tips on a razor scooter, he has an impressive breadth of classical learning.

I left a prolix comment regarding Statius (and Petronius, whom Statius seems to have been quote when he wrote that) on the original Everythingisterrible post, although I would pronounce it "STAH-tee-oos," were I forced to make a choice.
(And for the record I am PRO-editing. The times that blog have actually posted unedited passage of interminable, say, song sungs by professional wrestlers, is it invariable UNWATCHABLE.)
