There's also The Elevator Channel on YT. It features over 1500 videos of elevators, escalators, car washes, stairwells and some hotel/motel reviews. riveting stuff.

A little post of his from history: Message From King REoL.

Last time I checked on his Youtube channel, he was spending his time creating and uploading 2,698 videos of himself riding elevators and reviewing them, a fan favorite amongst the large group of people in The Elevator Community Wiki. However, I recently noticed he has expanded his content to include:

Videos of him walking across the street and reviewing the crosswalk and giving his opinion of the drivers in the area.

Hour long videos of him bowling (he is not good at bowling).

Hour long videos of him building bowling alleys in Minecraft.

A video, recorded in 4k, of him walking upstairs in a bowling alley.

He even interacts with his viewers, letting them vote on where he should film himself bowling next! This is a particularly fetching video, as you get to see what the man, the legend looks like. It's basically what you would expect:

No real point to this thread, just wanted to treat the old school Goons to a "where are they now?" special. I do encourage all of you to check out his channel and be amazed by the excitement of utter banality. And remember to read the comments for each video, because no matter how inane the video is, there are huge fans who love to share their opinions of the topic in question, such as which company produces the best elevator floor buttons, and how peeved they get when the hydraulics are slower than they should be. The internet is truly a magical and wonderful place!

He looks like a Jason Sudeikis character.

Where can I see Uwe Boll praising the germanic efficiency of an elevator or Shmorky reviewing one in a squeakey cartoon voice

Next thing you know, Uwe Boll will be working on a little thing called "Schindler's Lift".

I got drunk with t_s_m in Lexington once a long time ago and later bought the hard top that's still on my jeep from him. P cool guy, didn't look overly goony so that was nice. I don't think we talked about the Internet or sa much at all, which was also good and cool, it was normal conversation

GODDAMN. I mean, gently caress.

This is apparently what the Internet is for. You thought it was for looking at porn? Nope. It's to let clinically insane people find the 7 people on the planet with that EXACT SAME version of crazy so they can provide validation for each other. Before the Internet, you told your friend you thought the President was really a lizard and he called you a retard and told you to shut the gently caress up. NOW, you find 300 other people who think that too and suddenly you have a VALID GODDAMN THEORY and hey, lets critique some goddamn elevators while we're at it! JESUS CHRIST HOLY poo poo.

Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to jerk off to steam locomotive videos LIKE A NORMAL PERSON.
