Tonight’s post comes to us from friend and fellow blogger Matt Cashdollar. Matt normally writes about mysterious and frightening things such as technology and automation. In the future when the machines rise up and kill us all, he’ll either be the leader of the resistance or the very reason it happened in the first place. Check out Matt’s blog here.

When I was a kid, my friends and I would go camping in the woods near my
house.  This was when I lived near the Appalachian mountains, in rural
Pennsylvania.  Nearby was “the strip mine” which was an old open pit coal
mine that had been flooded with water and turned into a series of small
ponds and a general garbage dumping area for the county.  We decided to go
camping just off the dirt road next to the strip mine.  Our road didn’t
have a name – it was just called Rural Delivery #1.  We were all poor,
redneck kids.

Hello there everyone. Well, it’s that time again. Time for me to share with you all the awesome stuff that makes the world just a little bit better for your lovable old friend Scarydad.

Videos to keep you from sleeping

Good evening my friends. Tonight I share with you some fun little videos from around the net. You see, I have been in an epic battle with the flu and although it was touch and go for a few days there, it seems as if victory is finally mine. It also means that I still don’t feel good and I haven’t been in my shop for more than a week so I haven’t been able to prepare any new and fun things to show and tell.  Fret not, however. I shall be back to my old shenanigans in no time at all. In the meantime, please share in some of the things that keep me entertained. WARNING: AT LEAST ONE OF TONIGHT’S VIDEOS ARE VIOLENT AND BLOODY. PARENTAL GUIDANCE IS STRONGLY SUGGESTED.
