you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

Lol how long were you waiting for that snipe

Masaokis lore has him as a rich italian lawyer who rents out a hovel for fun.

The hovel was his place to escape his normal life which included some kind of wife/ex-wife drama. He mentions this a few times.

He will top this.

There are hours of new content on both channels but the masaohf channel has the best stuff, like the fully restored caffe latte video. So much stuff has happened lately.

I'm looking for two people to film context giving scenes for an upcoming project on the archive channel. You should be knowledgeable about Masao enough to have favorite moments you can describe in detail and be willing to do so on camera in black and white. Of course you can wear a gas mask. DM me!

the best thing about masaokis is that its irrelevant whether its a gimmick or not because if it was, the commitment to it would be insane on its own.

i say that endearingly and also every person ive dated has been exposed to this series.

The definitions get murky when using terms like gimmick, act, fake, etc. Masao is filming a product he intended to be informational and entertaining within his real life environment.

Take a look at sambuca pilgrimage. Its a complete story with a very clever title. I'll not spoil it in case you haven't seen it, but I will say that this video was filmed with a purpose and goal in mind.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXcH-1UOUYU

Listen to the way Masao describes this section of Montreal. You hear what might come off as pointless open contempt of society as he details the commercial complexes he walks past and the organizations behind them. These digs on society seem almost rehearsed, but if you knew that Masao is an autistic lawyer who specializes in North American union contract negotiation, these descriptions become much more meaningful and give good insight behind his own capitalist pursuits. Gotta make that money!

Masaokis made my mom smile for years after I introduced her. She died in December, but she still occasionally watched his old videos. Whoever's been involved in archiving and saving them, thank you :)


I went to school with Ben in the mid-90's. He was a year younger than me.

I remember him to be a genuinely funny guy, and while I can't speak to whether he was bullied or not, I feel like we could have been friendlier. He was also pretty geeky - he played with Hypercard a lot. He was far from a troublemaker, and actually pretty amiable.

I understand now that he was eventually diagnosed with a few mental health issues, which he's also gone on to write about as an advocate and a voice. Fitting, since he had a lot of talent for telling stories, which were often hilarious and done on the spot. He was also a D&D geek, and during our Wednesday elective classes, he hosted a few D&D games that I still laugh about 25 years later.

I haven't spoken to Ben since about 1998, but he strikes me as a man who has a few scars, but who at his core is still an honest guy.

I received an unbelievable email from Masao

quote:

Hey Adam,

It's been a very long time since I haven't seen the old videos but I've been looking through them today to see if I could put them in chronological order. I thought it might interest you.

I think I pretty much got it, except for a few I can't place precisely except for the year. Let's call them the "unknowns":

- A look under my house (2008)
- Around the old quarry (2008)
- Montreal with Masao (2008)
- Toilet Trouble (2009)
- Eggy Eggplant Thingy (2009)
- Existence (2009)
- I just don't get soup (2009)
- Making Poutine (2009)
- Trying again with the Allbran (2009)
- Turkey Sandwich (2009)
- Making mushrooms taste like bacon (2009)
- Pancake bread (2009)
- Practicing how to make breakfast (2009)
- Super Sausage (2009)
- The Nature of Reality (2009)
- The Truth about Masao (2009)

Then there's the very old videos called Fireworks in Venice and Some freaky truck carrying rocks that were filmed in 2003.

Aside from those, I can tell you with 99% certainty that this is the correct order:

2008:
1. Relaxing in the Park
2. Ueno Park
3. Waiting for my train
4. Making peach juice
5. Cooking hot dogs and peaches
6. Super Energy Raisin Juice
7. Exploring the techniques of sausage-cooking
8. The secret of hot dogs finally revealed
9. Sambuca Exotic Fruit Punch
10. Another fruit punch
11. Flaming sambuca
12. Special candy
13. Peanut Juice
14. Special Tea Recipe
15. Collapse of the Toilet
16. Torta di ceci - first attempt
17. Torta di ceci - second attempt
18. The Tragedy of Global Warming (Grape Juice)
19. Noodle Attempt
20. Do as I say not as I do
21. How to make glue
22. Testing the glue
23. Caffe Latte
24. Der Wille zur Ohnmacht
25. A new coffee machine
26. The Sambuca Pilgrimage
27. Special Christmas Turkey

2009:
1. Omelet for Obama
2. Worst Morning Ever
3. Cutting the meat
4. Cooking a tomato
5. A good omelet
6. Deep Space Exploration
7. A great ham sandwich
8. A little bit of socialist propaganda
9. AllBran Coffee
10. Making cononut bread
11. Balsamic steak
12. How to grill steak without a grill
13. How to wake up in the morning
14. Apple gravy sandwich
15. Cheeseburger
16. Banana Juice
17. Might as well give up on cleaning
18. Baba ala Sambuca
19. The secret of happiness
20. Taking out the garbage

The "unknown" videos fit somewhere in between those videos but I'm not really sure where. Out of these, Eggy Eggplant Thingy and Making mushrooms taste like bacon are most likely the last two that were uploaded on the old channel. That white external heating element you see in the Eggplant video was bought late in 2009 shortly before the channel was closed.

Cheers

Masao

I can start to put together some videos describing the kitchen evolution now. People have asked for chronology forever, and I keep getting pestered to make a documentary, as if one can just be whipped up, as if I have the time or talent make a full scale production to distill this saga into digestible, understandable single hour

I bought a bottle of Sambuca this weekend. I did it proper, holding my lighter to the instant coffee, then mixing it in, and lighting it on fire... THere was an awful lot of residual crap at the bottom, though, so I added some hot water to make it a proper coffee, and then tasted it.

Worthy for a moment, but, unlike whisky, I didn't feel compelled to consume the whole bottle. This guy is smarter than he lets on.

Masaokis should have coddled the eggs a little bit longer. You want those whites just barely turning solid, gives it a much creamier sauce. His coddled eggs were raw. It’s an amateur mistake but it could still be a nice dressing

He didn't use a timer like I do but otherwise followed my directions perfectly with regard to the egg.
