My first thought was that I too might go double complete rainbow if say, I lost my wife and daughter. Or double complete rooftop rifleman - haven't decided.
Well, hippie, either A) you've ingested wayyyy too many consciousness-altering drugs in the past 14 minutes/your life, or B) sunlight is spreading out into its spectrum of colors and diverted to the eye of the observer by water droplets.
Either way, please fall down that hill in front of you, kthxbai.
The fact that Google ads picked up on me watching the video and now it keeps prompting me to "join with Russ Feingold" in his election this year. (For those unaware, Feingold is a professor-turned- Senator who, although principled, is hippie-principled enough to think guns are icky and babies who survive an abortion should be killed anyway.)
Watching that video has tainted my Google ads cookies. Now I'll have to watch all sorts of gun and pietist vids to cleanse my Google cred.
Okay, if I saw that double full rainbow, I would probably have an "oh, cool!" moment myself. I might even take a few pictures. This guy, on the other hand, sounds like he's about to launch a full load of baby-makers into the front of his underoos.
Those must be some really good drugs. Also, I agree - the Northern Lights would send him into a full on orgasmic seizure until his head exploded.
Uh, no. If it was lens flare, then you'd never be able to see one of those without a camera of some kind. The double rainbow is produced by this thing called physics.
Hell, you can produce one with a freaking garden hose. People just don't notice the second one usually because it's not as bright as the primary rainbow.
Going with Robb here. During partly-cloudy, rainy weather, rainbows are a common occurrence, especially when you know which angle is best. Their effect can be magnified with a polarizing filter. Video poster is looking at a lens artifact.
I don't think this guy is your typical hippy; I think he just doesn't get out much. This is exactly why it's so hard to do nature photography: people who go stomping through the woods smelling like high-fructose corn syrup and fabric softener, and using their across-the-street-in-Manhattan outdoor voices that scare away wildlife for miles around.
I made it to 1:45 out of 3:29, before I had to shut it down. When he started crying, I just wanted to bark at him, "Yeah, it's pretty cool. I'll bet some folks in this quiet mountain setting would like you to shut the hell up, too."
By the first minute-mark, I turned the volume down for fear that my co-workers would accuse me of watching pr0n at my desk. Srsly. Sounds like dude's getting polished.
Of course, him being a hippy, the crying at the end only makes the idea that much more plausible.
Assuming that isn't the case, is it wrong that I want to punch him?
Unquestionably: there is some sort of hallucinogenics involved with this.
Ask me how I know.
Now, of course, I was the kind of guy who would go blowing down the New York State Thruway after a gig in an overloaded sixteen-foot truck with two feet of fresh powder laying in the roadway, throwing a thirty-foot rooster-tail of snow at eighty-five miles an hour with my Ray-Bans on at 3:30am. I burned a whole different groove, you see. But I saw enough of this sort of thing around Ithaca to give me the flaps in the middle of the night.
Know what? I watch that, and I dream of 40,000 years ago: some squared-away aborigine or other walking past that scene and wondering, "What the hell is wrong that that guy?" What I'm getting at is the connection to reality, whether or not the aborigine understood light refraction.
"What does this meeeannn?"
I'll tell you what it means: it means that the 1960's were a completely goddamned disaster. This is the sort of thing that could embarrass someone -- like me -- who was a dedicated and very, very good acid user.
Doesn't even need to have been a lens effect; up in the mountains during that weird time in spring when rain and bright sun at the same time are common is a good way to see full double rainbows, the panoramic sky version.
Oh man! That dude's stash is wicked strong. You could get totally stoned just sniffing his piss. His sweat stained undies are bringing $10 each down in The Haight.
And if you squint your eyes really hard, over on the left, partially obscured by the trees, is the upturned, Skittle-farting unicorn ass from whence the rainbow emanated.
What a maroon. He needs to get out of his tent and stop huffing his ass vapor. We see those in Hawaii all the time, and sometimes there's more. I'm sure it's common in the Midwest too, what with twister-clouds and all.
Dope? I'd pass the fuck out or shoot myself in the head before any chemical could cause this.
But as others have said, I think the vid is just an illustration as this boy gets the lay of the land, as it were. I'm telling myself this is true because it is the only acceptable excuse for this whole production. Three minutes of delirium in the throes of ecstasy? Hell, yeah, that'd bring me to tears, too.
I saw concentric rainbows too. very pretty, neon-bright (nicer than the one in the vid...) Took some pics. Told some friends. Failed to have an orgasm over it, though.
Point of humor, apparently enough people that watch my video of me shooting with the BattleComp have watched this video as well that it was the first suggested video after I watched mine...
Just shows you how much sway Tam has on the intertubes.

Jeebus... I see those daily here in Florida.
ReplyDeleteChrist, it's just glorified lens-flare.
ReplyDeleteThough I did take a good photo of one once:

Oh WOW man! F**king far out, man!
ReplyDeleteTam, I think you just transported me back to 1972. Only, I don't think the sh*t they were smoking back then was as good as the stuff this guy has.
On second thought, where can I get some of the stuff this guy is smoking?
Now, where is my tie-dyed shirt?
Bruiser
Aurora Borealis would make him positively orgasmic too, til he realized he'd forgotten to dress for colder weather and froze to death.
ReplyDeleteCatatonic hippies preserved in permafrost last forever.
Some future anthropologist would wonder what kind of folk our era had spawned.
So do I.

"Dave?"
ReplyDelete"Dave ain't here."
If he saw a sun dog he might just become speachless.
ReplyDeleteAgree with John, Northern Lights and he would have a brain bleed.
Gerry
Oh, to have a double barrel shotgun and a camera handy, and I could some fun making a mockery of this dazed and confused idjit.
ReplyDelete"Woah, that's a shotgun. All the way, that's a double shotgun. Woah! What does it mean?"
"It means get the hell off my lawn, hippie."

Still, I suppose there are worse ways to go.
Pffft, I've heard the female equivalent during the display of a Smith & Wesson or AFV collection.
ReplyDeleteI thought Wookies were all about ending the War on Drugs.
Isn't this just a Libertarian celebrating the end of the war?

I think that dude needs to be more careful about the kind of mushrooms he eats.

I was waiting for the camera to pan down and show the girlfriend (or boyfriend) being the actual cause of the moans ...
ReplyDeleteAcid? 'Shrooms? Something else?
ReplyDeleteCan you imagine if he was forced to watch Instapundit blend a puppy?

THE STUPID, IT BURNS!!!
ReplyDeleteWV: thoom. The sound his head makes when you hit it with a Louisville Slugger.
Never go full retard.
ReplyDeleteI was woefully misled by the word BEAR in the title...
ReplyDeleteHow disappointing.
I did see a neat double rainbow over Mono lake a the week before last when I was up in that area, it was very cool.
Where's the hippy eating bears when you need them?
ReplyDeleteDoesn't even need to have been a lens effect; up in the mountains during that weird time in spring when rain and bright sun at the same time are common is a good way to see full double rainbows, the panoramic sky version.
ReplyDeleteOh crap, someone autotuned this mess!

Oh man! That dude's stash is wicked strong. You could get totally stoned just sniffing his piss. His sweat stained undies are bringing $10 each down in The Haight.
ReplyDeleteThat's nasty, Stretch.
ReplyDeleteAnd if you squint your eyes really hard, over on the left, partially obscured by the trees, is the upturned, Skittle-farting unicorn ass from whence the rainbow emanated.
ReplyDeleteIt's there. You just have to believe.
What a maroon. He needs to get out of his tent and stop huffing his ass vapor. We see those in Hawaii all the time, and sometimes there's more.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it's common in the Midwest too, what with twister-clouds and all.
Which end do you go to to find the pot of gold? Or does this mean that there are 4 pots? I bet there's some sort of pot involved, somewhere...
ReplyDeleteword verification: bluomm
Kinda appropriate...
Dear $diety, wait till he finds his bellybutton.
ReplyDeleteI now have another weapon to use in the never-ending war with the cognitively challenged.
stay safe.
...jizzed a pantload of skittles in his manpris...
ReplyDeleteDope? I'd pass the fuck out or shoot myself in the head before any chemical could cause this.

In self defense, my brain turned to Charlie the Unicorn. It isn't making all the pain go away, but it helps.
ReplyDeleteShuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun-uh!
My wife heard this from the other room and asked if I was watching porn.
ReplyDeleteI saw a double rainbow once. I took a picture, thought to myself "hey, there is something you don't see every day," and got the hell on with my life.
ReplyDeleteThen again I have a productive job which contributes to society, most likely this dude doesn't.
Jim
I'm starting to think that the hippies that I was grew up with were just the garden variety. They never seemed bad, really.
ReplyDeleteThat guy is in a special class.
I am in awe of anyone who actually watched the vid to it's end. I shut it down after 26 seconds of his blathering.
ReplyDeleteI gather I didn't miss anything by that...
Just his magic moment, followed by some tears.
ReplyDeleteWhere IS that dang bear (Yosemite Bear Mountain) when you need one?
ReplyDeleteSomeone auto-tuned our hippie and made a song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MX0D4oZwCsA
