What is going on here?  Is it a suggestion that the ride will make you so scared you will puke and shit violently (if liquidly), basically a complete meltdown of the gastrointestinal system?  I’m going to say yes.

It’s taken a lot of blood, sweat and hours of time on the telephone line, but here is my first video blog entry.  Call it cheap, call it guerrilla, just be sure to turn up the volume and not expect too much.

Note: It should have closed captions, so if it doesn’t, click that button with the up-pointing triangle in the lower right hand corner of the video and select CC.
