Do not try this at home. I am a trained professional. (Well, not really, but I've smashed a good deal of stuff.)
You know, with the forums being divided now, I'm not even sure where this belongs. Since it's definitely khukuri-related I'll start it here. I won't be offended if the mods decide to move it.
We've had a lot of issues here lately. People being banned, mods resigning, computer failures, possible zombie invasions -- you name it, it's happened. It's time for the healing process to begin.
In that vein, it's been quite a while since I've posted a video of myself destroying something with a khukuri so I figure that one is about due.
I had this MP3 player on my workbench. I won't mention who made it. (*cough* RCA *cough*) When I unpacked it, I tested it and it worked fine. It didn't get used for a while after that. Fast forward to last night. I needed it and it failed me, thus earning itself a place on the chopping block.
The stars of this little drama:
The stereo.
Dave "Satori" Rishar and the Chit.
The result? (WARNING: SPOILER.)
The video is available here, in all its bloody glory. (It's 10 megs, so right click and "Save as" unless you want stutters and annoyance.)

I apologize for the crappy sound. As I've said in the past, my digicam records in .MOV format which Windows Movie Maker doesn't recognize, necessitating a conversion to .AVI first. The good news is what was a 38 meg movie is now a 10 meg movie. The bad news is that the image and sound quality get flushed down the toilet. It still gets the basic story across, though, and I think we all had a pretty good idea of how the ending turned out.
I couldn't for the life of me remember what kind of khukuri I was using until I was crunching the movie. Maybe my collection's gotten a bit too large for my own good? Anyway, the khukuri held up its end of the bargain in a spectacular manner and did a bit better than I expected. That old stereo had far more metal in it than I'd expected.
