Completely Pointless

Post by Sockmonkey »

I was supposed to be looking over some video we took in a pool at work today. Instead I decided to whip up this tiny bit of massive stupidity. I encourage you to click the full-screen button when viewing. I created it to support my lifestyle of ongoing workforce deviance... hopefully after watching this you won't want your 1 min 43 seconds back. But if I can help you procrastinate a little... you're welcome.

Spatman was concerned that showing a video with me swimming around with a shirtless Hawaiian dude would put me right in the metaphoric "UTD Hottub." I sure hope this is less frightening by miles.

No I don't have any pride... or self respect... but man oh man can I make myself laugh.

Very Bizarre! The "no fin frog kick" is impressive.

Dude, that's my favorite song by the Pixies! I'm jealous. I wanna do that at my work... Although I'd probably electrocute the entire city if I put my DataCenter under water....

You're just preparing for cave class. We had to frog kick and back kick without fins. Our trim was better, though :)

There is very little creative outlet video option as a vocational counselor. A video of me goofing off at my work would involve me looking at this dive board.

Um...no slick music to add to THAT exciting visual extravaganza.

Good show, Sockmonkey!

Holy cow....the only thing that's taken you longer than posting that is giving me your test.

Glad to see where your priorities are. I'll let you know how the Diamond Knot goes....

Oh yeah, BTW...Good job! Hilarious...

Yosef... no one could ever capture pointless better than you. I'm sorry I ever tried.

I was on the edge of my seat waiting for you to bust out a macarena...

Thank you. Most funny.
