I'm sure it is a pure coincidence that the guy in the video, taken by SpectateSwamp, is apparently some friend of Swamp and also appears to have a serious case of Tourette's Syndrome. Has Whitecourt's water supply been tested for mercury lately?
Too bad Swamp will never be able to follow that link, once he copies-and-pastes your post to his gigantic "thedailywtf.txt" file.

Well, Alberta is the Canadian Texas. Big cars, bad drivers, lots of hydrocarbon fumes, hubcap-sized belt buckles, and once you get outside of the three big cities/tourist areas, you're generally in places where it's possible to be your own father. Too bad we can't blame his mumbling on Alberta. For totally incomprehensible English in Canada, you've got to go to Newfoundland.
Here's another theory... Swampy's got enough hair to be Bigfoot. His friends could've 16mm'd him walking in the woods (as we all know he likes to do) and started off all those legends. The quality of his movies is certainly bad enough to qualify.

He doesnt need to follow the link - he can easily see all of that movie as random 2-second chunks, interspersed with 'yellowhead yellowhead yellowhead' and 'data processing data data processing'
Having said that... that could well be the funniest video ever!

Way way funnier video. With the same two Canucks. Spruce Hen shoot out. Between 15 and 20 shots were taken at 3 Spruce Hen. They didn't move a muscle and finally walked off into the bush while the 3 or 4th reload was happening. I had both video clips posted under spruce hen shootout or something like that. If I can't find them I'll re-upload em.

Sasquatch is out there. 50 years ago Jim B (a local trucker saw one cross the road) on the Virginia Hills road. It had a main like a lion A large harry monster. Each summer we make a trip there with the Camcorder. Just in case. July 26 1998 Beardies Reserve Saskatchewan. A lady I knew from the pulpmill had one walk through her yard. She has casts of the imprints. I saw pictures of the casts. 1988 while driving to Alberta. A passenger of my truck saw one out the back window. I have the drawing done right after the incident. The spot is hard to get to and we haven't tried to do a search there.

The hens probably knew that it was better to not move when 2 drunk Canucks are shooting. Moving will just make them more likely to get hit by a stray bullet.

So someone actually volunteers to help, to work on SSDS, and you don't want to know?
HE IS A SWAMPY! The only Swampy, and you don't want him involved. All this time you've been saying about how the Swampies will fix your bugs and spread SSDS to the Masses, and now a Swampy finally shows up and you tell him to go away.

For all Swampy's mumbling, bits of it are at least recognizably english. There might not be more than 1 english word embedded in every 20 random noises, but at least they're english. Newfie is utterly incomprehensible, except "pogie" (as in: Where's my federal bailout cheque? Need to buy some more Screech and a cod to kiss).

I worked with a Chinese guy for the better part of a year. I was speaking a strange broken chinese english by the end of that job. It doesn't take long. Be careful of who you talk to.All this babble has got me back looking and changing code. A minor fix to the character pause and the hilite_this element fix (Next). Desktop Search frees me to have fun with the computer and video. Very little responsibility and just 1 main program.

*clapclapclapclapclapclapclapclap*
Quite amazing!
Mr. Swamp might not have upset the (relatively nascent) desktop search industry, but with a little bit of effort, he will upset the (well-entrenched and aggressive) music industry!
With a few good turns of phrases, mr. Swamp has inspired people who don't know a lot of music production to grab the tools at hand and write catchy protest songs. We have to believe. This is the rather well kept secret about the Power of Trolls and the Internet Drama: they inspire works of art. Hateful art, perhaps, and perhaps also art that might not have lasting impression on the society as a whole, but I have always been in favour of anything that gets people off their butts and using their creativity.
If mr. Swamp continues with this line, the whole planet is singing the songs of the AntiSwamp by next year!
Desktop search: Art of debate. Art of code. Art of protest. Cryptozoology. We've truly had everything in this thread, and we will have everything in this thread.
And I'm only half-humorous here.

a) That guy is the worst shot I have ever seen. I really hope he WAS drunk.
b) Shooting from a car (or truck) is about the most cowardly way to hunt. At least be men and go take a walk while shooting at wildlife. There are laws about this in every place I have ever been to.
c) They give retards guns now?
d) I think we could keep Swamp and his retard friends busy for the next few months with nothing but a box of ammo and a duck decoy. Sounds a lot better than Swamp continuing his trolling on this forum...

Oh hell no, I knew he'd never do it (it was me who volunteered). His response was EXACTLY what I expected. Had he actually made me a project admin, I would have tried to de-GOTO the entire thing, and set up a project, as everyone has been encouraging him to do.
If you're wondering why, it's mostly because I don't believe code that bad should be allowed to continue to exist, and I can't stand the background color of his app in the demo videos he keeps posting (keep it up, Swampie, you've got me in stitches).
The rap was disturbing, by the way, though it did crack me up.

Some amusing Doug stuff from the web
http://www.comptechlib.com/407.html
About the Author<br> Wrote my first program in 1970 using punched cards First used search in the mid 80's (Vax/VMS search) Been using my Mini DVD Camcorder for nearly 3 years.http://www.biggamehunt.net/forums/archive/o_t__t_11172__start_45__index.html
I am digging through my old Video files and will be posting a Video investigation of Corrupt Dutch Officials that resulted in a number of Canadians losing $$$. Too bad the video hosting wasn't there 3 years ago when this was shot. At the time we were going to display it in storefronts near any Dutch Embassies. To embarass them. Maybe now there will be some action on this issue.
Respect is for friends only.This is a description of the SwampShack!
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Albertabird/message/9044
Mr. Pederson lives at 39 Riverside in a trailer court. He puts out
buttered bread about 6 o'clock every morning in his small back yard. The
Hooded Crow, several American Crows and an occasional Ring-billed Gull
come in to feed. Mr. Pederson requests that viewers do not enter his yard,
as the crow is quite wary (and the yard is tiny). The best viewing
location is from the road that runs behind his house, called Riverside
Road.
To get here, drive into Whitecourt on Hwy 43. As you drop down into the
river valley (coming from the east) you will see a sign indicating West
Mountain Road. Turn left at the intersection (traffic signal). Drive south
aprx 200 meters and turn right onto Riverside Road. Continue aprx 300
meters (road bends slightly to left). On your right are the back yards of
some of the homes in the trailer court. You will see an unpainted
chipboard shed in one of the yards. Mr. Pederson's house is the next house
to the southwest, with a bright unpainted aluminum shed and an old
charcoal cooker in his yard . Although it's impossible to see directly
into the yard because of a hedge, the bird often sits on an unpainted
board fence between the two yards. Last evening we saw it perched on a
fence post on the opposite side of Riverside Road, and this morning it
flew around a bit and landed in nearby trees several times.
Ken's GPS readings at the viewing site were North 54 degrees 8' 11.7",
West 115 degrees 41' 59.8"http://www.daniweb.com/forums//thread39122-2.html
Use the camcorder like a garden hose. Follow that butterfly
till it lands. Play it back in slow motion. Shaky you bet. Get
the right sun and a co-operative butterfly and you got action
and beauty.http://forum.videohelp.com/topic291143.html
I could edit the dog's butt, to a rose or my National flag?

For the vast majority of us non professionals there is no need to edit. Some of you that make a living out of it may not like it. But that is the way it is. Suck it up.
-move the camera. whenever possible. It gives a nice 3D effect.
Not to worry. I have replaced it with some more crap you may not want to look at.

Incompetence Lead to Inflated Self-Assessments(PDF) http://www.apa.org/journals/features/psp7761121.pdf
(HTML) http://gagne.homedns.org/~tgagne/contrib/unskilled.html
Here's an oh-so relevant passage:
"For example, consider the ability to write grammatical English. The skills that enable one to construct a grammatical sentence are the same skills necessary to recognize a grammatical sentence, and thus are the same skills necessary to determine if a grammatical mistake has been made. In short, the same knowledge that underlies the ability to produce correct judgment is also the knowledge that underlies the ability to recognize correct judgment. To lack the former is to be deficient in the latter."

No, because as Swampy explained before, that would likely involve a personal visit to the Swamp Shack, where you would receive "training" not him, and who knows if and when you'd make it out of there.

While I don't have much respect for hunting in general, hunting an endangered species is just not acceptable. To be honest, I hope they cut off your balls and feed them to the pack. Then you can line up behind the Omega so they kick your ass whenever they feel like it.
