Slow-mo brass shower

I was thumbing through youtube gun videos and found this Glock 18 vid that seemed interesting.

The video started as expected, but at 0:23, it started the slow motion mag dump that completely mesmerized me for the remainder of the video.

My brain shut down as the brass flew off at different angles, spinning helplessly, and all I could think was; "oohhh... shiny..." Until I was broken from my trance as the youtube video recommendations filled the screen.



Look at all that brass fly.

Fucking beautiful.

UPDATE: I think this qualifies for one of Kevin Baker's Moments of Zen.

Always take time...

From the Almighty Oleg.

To know fish.

One day a Zen master and his friend were walking near a river.

The Zen master gazed into the river and said, "Look at the fish swimming around; they are really enjoying themselves."

"But, you are not a fish," replied the friend, "So you can't truly know that they are enjoying themselves."

"You are not me," said replied the Zen master. "So how do you know that I do not know that the fish are enjoying themselves?"

This beautiful moon.

There was a Zen master who lived in a small hut at he base of a mountain. One evening while he was away on a walk, a thief sneaked into the hut only to find there was nothing to steal. The Zen master returned and saw him within his hut. "You have traveled a long way to visit me," He said to the thief, "and you should not return empty handed. Please take my clothes." The confused thief took the clothes and ran off. The Zen master sat naked outside his hut and looked up at the moon. "Poor fellow, I wish I could have given him this beautiful moon."

Zen of the day

One day while walking through a forest a man found he was being stalked by a tiger. He ran as fast as he could, but found himself at the edge of a cliff. Hearing the tiger approach, he climbed down a short vine that dangled from the cliff. He could still hear the tiger when he noticed two mice crawled out of their nearby holes, and started gnawing on the vine. Then he noticed a small strawberry bush next to where he hung, and saw the most perfectly shaped and colored strawberry he'd ever seen. He picked it, and ate it. It was delicious!

Gutei's Finger

Whenever anyone asked him about Zen, the great master Gutei would quietly raise one finger into the air. A boy in the village began to imitate this behavior. Whenever he heard people talking about Gutei's teachings, he would interrupt the discussion and raise his finger. Gutei heard about the boy's mischief. When he saw him in the street, he seized him and cut off his finger. The boy cried and began to run off, but Gutei called out to him. When the boy turned to look, Gutei raised his finger into the air. At that moment the boy became enlightened.
