Your word of the day is “snollygoster”

True story: I spent a long time creating a 10 minute video called “5 Reasons You Need a Spraydeck for Your Canoe”. It was good but it it needed a little more ooompf, so then I spent a ridiculous amount of time setting up this 5 second greenscreen shot. Full vid here: youtu.be/lF1rorGtGtY?...
