What Are You Watching on Youtube?

Two videos from Molly Burke's feed (both featuring Christine Ha, the winner from Master Chef who just happens to be visually impaired as well.)

The first video was the one that linked to the video above where she reunited with the gamer dude...

Another Bob Newhart skit:

In case it's taken down, the title is The Driving Instructor. It's a product of the times that it originally aired.

Y'all might appreciate this prank:

In case it's taken down, the prank is/was Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow shows up at Disneyland Canada on the Pirates of the Carrabean ride

This might make y'all tear up:

It's apolitical, just a man having one last dance with his mother at his wedding (she succumbed to ALS ten days later, which is why she didn't really move during the mother-son dance shown here...)

The only sounds are of a railroad crossing and a train going past

My husband watched either that channel or one like it, and share it with his father who appreciate it.
My grandfather used to have record albums of train sounds.

My grandchildren still said 'choo-choo' when playing with trains, and yet they'd never seen nor heard a 'choo-choo', and diesels don't make a different noise ... So I took it upon myself to crank up YouTube and introduce the kids to British Steam.

We have since travelled on preservation society steam trains.

I was taken as a kid to see the last steam trains leave Paddington, a London terminus. As my childhood home looked out over the main line between London Euston and Scotland, I used to see the Royal Scot steam by. (Not the more famous Flying Scotsman, that ran out of London Kings Cross.)

The line was electrified in 1966.

Hey-ho ...

Yes, I too am old enough to remember the real thing. I once went for a ride on the Bluebell Railway in Sussex. Absolutely marvellous.

At the other end of the spectrum, we rode the Wells and Walshingham Light Railway:



We sat in an open yellow car like the one above, immediately behind the engine, and were treated to a light dusting of steam, ash and grit as we trundled along from one end to the other ...
