I don't know about anyone else, but I know one of my major forms of procrastination is watching videos on YouTube. I'm sure I've spent countless hours on there watching silly videos when I should've been, you know, writing.
Anyway...I thought we could post some of our favorite videos from YouTube here...and end up spending more time that could be better spent.
First video: I can't remember which blog I found this on (I read so many on a daily basis...yet another form of procrastination), but I find it particularly hysterical.

The pleasantest of all diversions is to sit alone under the lamp, a book spread out before you, and to make friends with people of a distant past you have never known.--Yoshida Kenko, Essays in Idleness

I used this in a recent presentation at grad school. It was about terminating counseling relationships - to add a fun touch at the end.
Now, I can't stop watching it. I shall inflict it upon you, should you be so brave:

Re: Awesome YouTube Videos
Here's a funny YouTube video created by professional filmmakers with live actors for the Twisted Tails anthologies in which I have short stories published. I love this video because it was made in the style of the old science fiction B movies: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWHfII_beq4.

Re: Awesome YouTube Videos
If I could figure out how to edit a .3gp video file from my phone to under 10 minutes to get Youtube to allow it, they'd be viral I'm sure. I have a Tornado day storm coverage and Toronto's first snowfall of December 2009, but both are over 10 minutes, life sucks.
The 4 that were not longer than 10 minutes have yet to go that way.
Warning they are using adult language as traffic is a highly stressful experience.

favourites I've watched, anything by TOP GEAR, especially involving the Ariel Atom car.
The treadmill dance was pretty cool also.
