Daily Drop: Ceramic Turkey

[warfjm]

Did I hear Star Wars towards the end? Sounded like blasters and stuff going off.

I heard the same thing. Don't know what it was for but was weird. I like weird.

Anyways, the cranberry sauce should prove a fun one.

Can I make a suggestion here? If you have a ceramic object, try heating it up by submerssing it in boiling water before you drop it. I'm sure everyone's dropped a ceramic object at one point or another, and knows it shatters exactly how we see here: a few big pieces, bunch of small pieces, and tiny shards.

This one time however, I dropped a ceramic plate after it was nice and heated from washing it (I like to use dish gloves and wash with scalding hot water). But rather than the usual smash, the thing went off more like a gun shot and practically disintegrated! I've always wanted to see this again, you know to properly follow the scientific method and all that.

I thought it was cool how the tail absorbed most of the force and broke into the tiniest pieces while the head stayed in larger chunks.

Still loving this show, but I feel like every time I watch these I want the impact and a little bit before and after to be MUCH slower, with the final pieces falling into place during the credits at whatever speed you normally do them. It just feels like there isn't enough time to see the really interesting stuff, and way too much time looking at a few scattered pieces rock slightly or drop a few inches to the ground.

Despite my preferences though, I still watch it every day, so you guys are obviously doing something right!

I thought Canadian Thanksgiving was in October.

oh it is! that was a fun weekend!

it is for THE AMERICANS!!

I liked the music this time, good choice. I wouldn't have thought that guitar and accordion (which I'll admit, I like anyway) would have been a good match to ceramic destruction, but there you go.

This one time however, I dropped a ceramic plate after it was nice and heated from washing it (I like to use dish gloves and wash with scalding hot water). But rather than the usual smash, the thing went off more like a gun shot and practically disintegrated!

That does sound like an interesting experiment for future drops IF they are contracted to do more. I have a feeling that it is unlikely; it's a cool one-off thing, but probably not worth repeating regularly. Still, you could always do what I assume they did: go to the dollar store or thrift store and pick up some cheap, ugly ceramic thingbobs (that's a technical term for tchotchkes, which is the Yiddish term for baubles, which is the English term for kitschy knickknacks, and I have no idea where that term comes from, but they all mean junk!) and try it yourself!

...Am I a bad person if I say that I'm just kind of wondering how long it will be before this gets as boring as Will It Blend?

Considering the entire run was filmed in 5 days, I imagine they'll run out of episodes before they reach that point.

For those of you who don't know: American Thanksgiving is next Thursday. Just thought I should clear that up.

OT: looks about like what would happen if you drop your average turkey dinner as well, since they're frozen and microwaved nowadays.

I'm thinking the same thing actually, the novelty is wearing off.

OT, I only just realised that there was a theme to this week based off the comments, we don't thanksgiving outside of North America. Instead we have .... the third week of november ... yeah

 

[RTR]

Thanksgiving's coming early this year

 

[RC-1290'Dreadnought']

Those sounds.... Are you going to destroy a copy of the Force Unleashed soon?

 

[Cosplay Horatio]

Busting up ceramics is always fun to watch. Such a waste of good cranberry sauce.

 

[V8 Ninja]

Why did I first see the title of this episode as "Germanic Turkey"?

 

[WhiteTigerShiro]

I'm looking forward to tomorrow's cranberry sauce drop...

Oh, so THAT'S what that was. Should be amusing.

 

[Vohn_exel]

Was that the real sounds at the end there? The one that sounded like a Wild West shootout? If so, thats freaking awesome!

 

[Irony's Acolyte]

But Thanksgiving is a week away. And you guys are Canadian. (Do you celebrate Thanksgiving up there? I thought it was only celebrated by Americans.)

Or does this mean that you guys are going to drop a bunch of holiday themed things in the week leading up to Thanksgiving?

Nice music there, especially the laser fight in the background that came in and faded out.

 

[AvsJoe]

I really love this series. It's calming, almost peaceful, to just sit back, turn my brain off, and watch the beauty within the destruction.

Daily Drop = <3

What the heck happened with the camera at ~0:24-0:27?

 

[Tharwen]

This is clearly a way of getting rid of the leftover items after the great Kinect Lounge-Cleaning.
