Treo 650 Video: Stubborn Sausages

**godschoice** · 03/14/2005, 12:59 PM

With the Treo 650 you can capture those moments in life where you would have to say "remember when...". Now you can pull out your Treo 650 and say "remember this?"

Me and the girls were cooking this weekend and ran into some stubborn sausages.

Will need Quicktime 6.5 to view.

Video_Sausage1.3gp

Video_Sausage2.3gp

We thought it was funny, maybe you will too.

P.S.

Treocentral admin, you may want to add .3pg files to the supported list for uploads.

I know we have a couple of scientists on the site who are just aching to discuss this.

godschoice...you need help...or is it I who needs help

very cool LOL...couldnt stop laughing

**beelzebueb** · 03/14/2005, 09:42 PM

as with those moody treos, its the metaphysics of those moody sausages that astonish the wisest techies in here

**Balinor** · 03/14/2005, 10:25 PM

Now, after seeing the first one... I HAD to see the second one... what possessed me to view the second one is beyond me... what great mysteries can we solve with understanding the reason some Sausage Links move where ever they want... Time to meditate and ponder this great question !!!!

Thanks for sharing... got a good kick out of it... so... what's next ??? Edgy Eggs ? Depressed Ding Dongs ? Petty Pizza ? Angry Asparagus ?

where does the maddness end ?

where can you host the .3gp movies...i make one yesterday, nothing spectacular, waiting at a level crossing for a train to pass...its a good test to show the camera's sensitivity. Its not a professional camera, but it did very dang well..

the train was going about 80mph plus or minus 20mph..

the word of the day is

That's a large % of error. If you know the length of the train and you have the video and you got the train moving past you from beginning to end, you could probably calculate the true mph.

This two part ensemble piece at first glance seems to depict a common place situation of cooking sausages. Five links sit or roll on a cook surface, seemingly content to brown on their own. Yet it becomes obvious early on there is the controlling force of God as symbolized by an indeterminate hand wielding a spatula, which seeks to intervene into the otherwise complacent affairs of these hapless meat rolls. Using voice over to convey the thoughts of the links as they are prodded into conformity, then rebound in rebellion, this two-parter demonstrates the existential swings of consciousness incarnate, with the classic heat of hell underneath, the middle world of sausage land, and the all-knowing god-like Spatula from above acting out the age-old battle of wils and instinct (symbolized by one, then another, errant sausage rolling away from the Hand on High).

The hand-held camera approach gives a cinema verit� look as we get pulled into the everyday lives of The Links, trying to guess who will defy "god's will" while the other links sit idly by. The roundness of the links gives the links an animated quality, as if they had evolved (or been created?) to show the intention of individual wills.

Just when we think we can predict the outcome, we hear another voice plaintively pleading, "Dad, Dad!" Is this the voice of "The Son of God," seeking to intervene in the affairs of these unrepentant sausages? We're left wondering as this mini-epic pans over to two sausage patties, who have apparently been there all the while. In classic European style, at the end we're left to wonder if the patties symbolize the duality of life, or perhaps the "flatness" of what life would be like without the gift of will and the acknowledgment of consciousness this drama demonstrates.

Rated: PG for mild violence and somewhat disturbing images

yeah i know thats a large percentage of error...okay i promise you this...next time i will stand on the tracks and calculate how long it takes me to get smashed...i may have to have someone report back to me the numbers

the reason for the uncertainity is the following...about 1km up the track is a station which it stops at, it just left the station, however it couldnt be at full speed...the LRC (the type of train it is) is only allowed to go 120mph max...when leaving the station and still in city limits the LRC is only allowed to go 60mph...normal crusing however is anywhere between 80mph and 100mph

I never thought I could laugh so hard at breakfast sausages cooking on a grill. Thanks godschoice for the medicine. Needed it today
