Brats, and how awesome they are...
After talking with a thriftstore exemplar about some of his recent purchases... I finally decided I needed to give the St. Louis Goodwill(s) another chance. Apparently, Target stores donate returned and slightly damaged goods to Goodwill. This is a good thing. After my first few trips to the Goodwills here, I was totally convinced that they had a strict enforcement of "anything from the 90's only" for accepting and selling merchandise... A thoroughly disappointing selection of clothing, etc. However, having the Christmas spirit, I thought, what the hay! (I doubt that my mind really used that phrase, but then again, it just did there, so who knows?) I stopped by the stores on my ride home... My treasure will go down as my best post-Christmas present ever! Okay, it wasn't that awesome... but I did find a Tiger digital video camera for kids. I figured, if it works, it is worth 5 bucks... maybe my wife and I can finally put up that webcam we have spent so many hours rehearsing for? Well, the purchase was made, and when I got home, not only did it work, but it had a surprise work of art: The first and only video it had recorded. After consulting with my lawyers*, I deemed it necessary to post it in its entirety. (okay, it is only like 30 seconds)
I call it "drunk dad demos sucky toy camera to spoiled brat kid on christmas morning". Enjoy!
Feel free to post your commentary on this short film.
* I may or may not have actually consulted said people

My favorite part about the film (besides the fact I'm pretty sure it could've been recorded at my house during my childhood--my stepdad liked his eggnog to include a little rum): The ceramic pig in a santa suit.
Who buys and displays a ceramic pig in a santa suit? Man, that's bad taste. (I can judge. I have impeccable taste).
Man where are the thrift store camera's that come with tapes of people getting it on. Now that would be a prize.
you can find all those videos online, you don't have to buy any cameras!
I think the little brat was right. Sounds like his siter got a better gift, and he was pissed. Who hasn't been a little pissed when their gift is worse than someone elses? I still throw a tantrum if my brother gets something I wanted.
I'm holding out for the webcam action.
