and lastly, the humongously large video compilation ...

DISCLAIMERS:

1. the girlfriend was in charge of the boom-box! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
2. the bridge part is a bit boring (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
3. find the time index for the "Damn Potholes" and "I can't feel my legs anymore" audio snippets and win a sixpack of good german beer! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif)


WCR 2008 Compilation ~ 200 MB
