Oh, and I edited the beeps in through Kino, a free/open video editor for Linux:

And the penguin on the screen behind me is the shutdown screen for my machine bench PC, which is running Ubuntu 6.06 LTS "Dapper Drake," and EMC2: the Enhanced Machine Controller for controlling my mini CNC machines.

=( can you re-upload this uncensored?

[gfixler]

@iHate37 It's not actually censored. That's just how I swear.

[taladel]

Nice.

You look like Zach Galafianakis.

[gfixler]

I know! I'm so unoriginal :(

I'm trying to figure out how to turn our similarities into box office gold.

Creative Commons bleeps? Cute.

[gfixler]

I won't be really happy until I open source everything in frame, and the video camera.

[Enochcainx256]

Somehow the edited version was funnier. . .I was laughing my ass off the whole time.

Seriously man, you seem like a person I would love to just get a beer with sometime.

5/5 and favorited.
