 Affirmative, Kappa 7. Surround the creepy ice cream chuck, ascertain whether or not it's anomalous. Delta 9, you've got the real target. That webhead uses electricity, so skip the tasers, use the knockout gas. Tell me a game that you played when you were a kid that you don't know the name of, and I will try to find it for you. And if we see you describing Polybius or any other anomalous game, the foundation will be in touch. One of the nice things about living in Ohio is that when this guy showed up saying all sorts of uncomfortable things, we froze him in stone, kept him trapped in the water where he can't get to any of us. Mr. Popo, where did you send them? I'll tell you where they're not. Save. This is SCP-789-J, known as the Buck Ghost. It is a ghost that is a face. It lives in a toilet. If you fall into that toilet, it eats your butt. Documentation pioneered by Researcher James, age 11. Attention, horrifying spider Thomas. You can eat that defenseless junior researcher, or you can have this hot chip. I thought so. CBD is diet weed. Doctor Pepper is just barbecue water. Vix's is spicy Vaseline. Sparkling water tastes like when your leg falls asleep. CPR is just a human version of blowing into a video game cartridge and hoping it'll work again. Can someone please tell me why all trees in the UK are locked in tiny cages? Whoa, that information is a bit above your classification level cadet. But let's just say there's a certain gentlemen's club in Leicester Square. Wink, wink. Can someone please tell me why all trees in the UK are locked in tiny cages? Do people steal them? Gamma 4, give me a visual on that spatial anomaly. It looks stable. Maybe we can get a jump on those async bastards for once. Set up a perimeter, I'll call in the mole rats. Listen, I know that the Church of the Broken God is super your thing, but I was just hoping that you'd pull a 7 of 9 in effect on the foundation. That's what I figured. Why would you think any of this was a good idea? Probably because I'm a dangerous sociopath with a long history of violence. Oh. I don't understand how you keep forgetting that. No one's dumb enough to fall for that. Absolutely, I do. God. No, wait, what the f- Dispatch. This is O5-11. Deploy Alpha-1 immediately. Alpha-1? With what cause? There is a crooked-up white boy with a little bit of swagger in my garden. No. He's busting it down. In what style, sir? Sexual style. Oh, okay, you'll be fine as long as he isn't. He might be goaded with the sauce. Dear God. Try to carefully. Wow. Experiment success. Congratulations, everyone. And of course, with the Hell Portal fully operational, it goes without saying, but let me be the first. Not it. Dr. Freeman, to get out of this room, you're going to have to remove the head of that animatronic. Trusty crowbar, huh? But now it's going to take a form you're pretty familiar with. Go nuts on that headcrab. We cannot let him enter our reality. They have to stop the ritual. Are they impos- It's too late. The acting, dance, martial arts, or anything where you need to focus to work, the concept of Temenos can be a great help in your ability to perform. Temenos literally means a piece of land cut off and assigned as an official domain, often holy or sacred sites. For our purposes, though, I want to use the version from psychologist Carl Jung, who spoke of a mental Temenos or mental safe space where one can focus solely on the work. In this manner, your Temenos can be made in places you use for specific work, such as the rehearsal space or stage, a dance studio, or a dojo. Or, you know, your closet, if that's where you record. Every rehearsal at my own theater troupe used to start with yoga to get the body moving and the blood pumping, and then we'd have a 5-10-minute guided meditation to get our group into the headspace of the Temenos. Maybe I'll do a video on the whole meditation if people want that, but the bullet points are you'd start with your eyes closed and you'd visualize walking away from the day-to-day world and arriving at a door. The door was locked, but there was a little box next to it, and if you put all of your day-to-day worries in the box, then the door would open. Once inside the door, you'd see all the people you were working with running around, having fun, not a care in the world. Then you would all come together, grasp hands, and share the energy of the Temenos. You were all bound together for the cause that brought you there, and you helped and protected each other within the space. Now, as I said, the meditation took 5-10 minutes, but you practice it for enough years, and you get pretty good at slipping into that zone when you need it. Now, I'm not really a spiritual person, but the human mind is a powerful thing, and there are a lot of concepts from Temenos that help with physical and mental tasks as long as you believe in them. And hey, if it's a placebo effect, I'll take it. First of all, science has shown that having dedicated work spaces and sleep spaces and etc. helps people get into a routine and be able to perform the tasks within those spaces easier. We know the benefits of focusing on what you're doing and not being distracted by things outside of the task. And we also know the power of spaces to leave behind some of the pain and trauma of the performance you went through, leaving it all on the floor, if you will. Finally, in your Temenos, the rules of polite society don't apply. You can feel free to try things you normally wouldn't, push your boundaries, act a fool, dare to be stupid. It's a place where you can feel safe to fail and try again without shame. A place where we don't mock each other for failing, but only judgements being positive and constructive to growth. A place for creativity and imagination. Practice building your Temenos. See what it can do for your art, your sport, and your life. Somebody was not having a ball hot blast. Stop. Yo, can I come into the out now? No. You cannot come into the out now. No. But I can. You are just having to take away the piece of wood. Yes, this is your fault. I'm as much of a let's do this for science guy as anybody. But if you took my hat and cape, I'd go on a rampage and terrorize Nevada too. I'm so sorry, buddy. Technically everything works, but it's broken and mangled and really unpleasant. Mother. Still not your mother. Violence. No. I'm the guest of the U.S. State. You try and guess the state based on what I tell you. Do a blind react and here we go. Okay. Ten points. This state doesn't exist. Oh, haha. He's probably seen the Garfield cartoon. He's gonna say Wyoming because it means no state here. Massachusetts actually isn't real. Everyone who thinks they live there live in the neighboring states and it's a collective delusion. SCP-4006. Hashtag Massachusetts. SCP-173 petting test. What did you expect to happen? You can't just say for science for everything. Decking in on Ohio again. Ohio is our storybook trail. It's a great walk, good exercise. Kids love it. Well that sounds nice. Once you start it, you can't stop until the reader decides you're done. What? SCP-4521 test. Hit tree with tree. Did not illicit scream. Disappointed! Hi, welcome to Applebees. Would you like apples or bees? Bees? He shows it to bees! Wait, what? This is Dr. Theron Sherman reporting from the field. The immersive art experience Imagine Picasso is currently in San Francisco and I've been tasked with determining whether the anomalous art collective Are We Cool Yet is involved or not. The opening room provides a general summary of the life story and artistic journey of renowned artist Pablo Picasso. You then proceed to the main gallery. A series of walls and geometric shapes onto which the works of Picasso are projected. The projections encompass all surfaces including the floor leaving patrons to feel immersed in the works. This seemed fine, but I wouldn't be satisfied until I'd questioned the staff. Were any human being sacrificed in the making of this exhibit? No, sir. Were any non-human being sacrificed in the making of this exhibit? No, sir. Have any visitors transformed into one of the exhibits? No, sir. Have any visitors left with their facial features in a different configuration than when they came? No, sir. Do the words Are We Cool Yet mean anything to you? You're the second person to ask me that this week. Really? No, sir. It turns out Are We Cool Yet is not involved. And upside, you get to feel what it's like living inside a painting without having to spend a year and a half in unending torment. Those were the days. Thank you for listening.
