I would love to play the role of Gandalf the Grey and stop trains. Just not at this moment.

I see this kind of hilarious brilliance (make sure you watch until the very end), and I think three things:

  1. I wish I had thought of that first.
  2. With my luck, I would’ve been arrested on suspicious of terrorism.
  3. Despite how much I love and admire this, I’m not sure that I would want to invest the amount of time and energy required to produce a single minute of video that will likely be forgotten in a month (even one as amazing and daring as this).

I’m kind of glad that someone else is doing this for me, even though part of me desperately wants to try something like this myself.

Maybe when my kids are older and can do it with me…
