Poor guy. I once tried to get rid of a suzumebachi nest in Chiba with a vacuum cleaner, and I thought that was pretty stupid. We’re both runners up for the Darwin, but he’s a little ahead of me.

Those aren’t bandages – It’s the plaster mold used as a base for his Halloween Ultraman costume.

The image the first video shows before you play it is classic.

He’s like “no really, let me show you, it was like this, and they were all… and I had to…”
