Parlor Trick \ˈpär-lər ˈtrik\(n.) 1. a simple magic trick which is generally easy to execute
2. a group of creative gentlemen responsible for an innumerable amount of my time spent streaming media while at work.
Yes, we as professionals who live alter egos as wanna-be dirtbags on the weekends, every so often need a little something to get us through the days spent in the office. For so many of us, watching others do the stuff we wish we could be doing at the moment is a readily available way of living vicariously through others until we are released to experience the outside for ourselves.
One such distraction is the media on parlortrick.org. Contained within are a collection of pictures and short climbing videos sure to make your palms sweat all over your mouse. I’m particularly impressed by the original and creative spin they put on their media. Check ‘em out. Hope you like them as much as I do. Now get back to work!
Oh yeah, one final note. Additional credit should be given to Jeremy Collins whose print is hyperlinked earlier in this entry. If you haven’t heard of Mr. Collins, crawl out from under that rock you’ve been under and peruse his site. There’s plenty of great stuff to facilitate hours of procrastination.
Man those videos are a little too long for me to watch at work. I'll check 'em out later. Thanks Chris!
Not too long for me, here at my dusty trailer work station…….
Andrew, I'm forwarding this post onto your boss in hopes that he'll let you go feral early… Hooray!
