Waltzing Logs on a River

http://waltzinglogs.blogspot.com/

I think this piece is awesome. You've reminded us all about the greatness of our country. The scenery, the singing, the dancing are all so rich! Canadian stuff at it's finest! I like what you've done here, making something old into something somewhat new again. To say the least, you've made that video clip a piece of art by posting it on your blog. I definitely would never have imagined such depth in The Log Driver's Waltz and I'm glad you let your imagination fly. A log driver seems like an interesting job. I'd like to be one. I think I'd suit well in a checkered shirt, but my nose is more crooked than rounded and I don't dance too well. I can skate quite nimbly however.

I think J-bomb just invented a new sub-genre, here. I guess it could be called a "videofic." It looks like that Log Driver cartoon snippet really inspired J-bomb to write the story. It's interesting that the Internet allows users to extend and change boundaries. Taking artifacts from the past and re-configuring it into something new seems natural. He's really taken it to the next level! The author's imagination must be quite extravagant to be able to go into such vibrant detail about a video that I personally consider strange.
