The Unibrow Holds In All Of His Awesome

The Unibrow Holds In All Of His Awesome

Long-time honorary borderline sociopath, ElectroBoom, has done it again. He’s lived through another video. It’s a little known fact that ElectroBoom is the official electrician over here at the BSBFB headquarters. If you even use our bathroom, don’t use the sink. You’ll get a heck of a shock, and I really wouldn’t recommend it. Also, the light bulbs tend to explode a lot, but he’s cheap, cheerful, and he shows up on time. That’s all you should ever ask for from an electrician.

This Is My Rifle — This Is My Gun

This Is My Rifle — This Is My Gun

Way out West there was this fella — fella I wanna tell ya about. Fella by the name of the Backyard Scientist. At least that was the handle his loving parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself. The Backyard Scientist, he called himself the Backyard Scientist.

When Nerf Guns Aren’t Cutting It Anymore

I know a lot of the videos that I post come with the warning “please don’t try this at home”. This is one of the few time when you’re supposed to try this at home. They encourage it. Even I think it would be a cool afternoon project for any young Blog for Boys reader. This is the sort of thing that can get you kicked out of school if you bring it in for show and tell, which makes it an ideal exactly our cup of tea. I might even make one or two if I can be bothered. Of course, I’ll probably get frustrated and buy a Nerf gun like a normal person, but I definitely get a gold star for effort.

Power Chords… Er, Power Cords

Power Chords… Er, Power Cords


Let’s watch as our intrepid DIYer buys himself a stairway to heaven with his homemade guitar.

I rather enjoyed his approach. I’m getting somewhat weary of watching videos of bored housewives, whacked on Paxil and two surreptitious before-noon appletinis, making a hideous ten-dollar coffee table out of a twenty-dollar shipping pallet. At least this guy’s finished product costs less than an actual guitar. I’m not sure of the dollar value of the medical attention needed, but I heard they passed some sort of law a few years back and that’s all free now.

And yes, before you tell me, I’m quite aware that a priest, a rabbi, and an imam never went into the bar. Let’s not break down the fourth wall of entertainment, OK? I have a feeling this guy is planning on knocking out the fourth wall of his apartment in a future DIY video anyway.

(Thanks to power duo Gerard at American Digest, and Reader Rob, for sending that one along)
