The happiest day - the happiest hour
My sear'd and blighted heart hath known,
The highest hope of pride and power,
I feel hath flown.

Of power! said I? yes! such I ween;
But they have vanish'd long, alas!
The visions of my youth have been -
But let them pass.

And, pride, what have I now with thee?
Another brow may even inherit
The venom thou hast pour'd on me
Be still, my spirit!

The happiest day - the happiest hour
Mine eyes shall see - have ever seen,
The brightest glance of pride and power,
I feel - have been:

But were that hope of pride and power
Now offer'd with the pain
Even then I felt - that brightest hour
I would not live again:

For on its wing was dark alloy,
And, as it flutter'd - fell
An essence - powerful to destroy
A soul that knew it well.
--Poe

This guy slays me. His opening remarks are enough to send me into hysterics.

HOPE is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all,

And sweetest in the gale is heard; 5
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.

I ’ve heard it in the chillest land,
And on the strangest sea; 10
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me.

(How did he know that I never clicked on the path tab before???)

"In Ogrimmar?"

LOL

These videos...... would... be better if...... he didn't..... stammer so..... much.

Still, well done & very depressing.

[#9 posted by Kaiser , January 25, 2008 12:47 PM]

So who is this guy? I'm still trying to figure out if these videos are a joke, for real, or somewhere in between.

[#10 posted by SeattleGuy , January 25, 2008 12:48 PM]

Donnie, dude, you rock!

[#11 posted by agoodsandwich , January 25, 2008 12:54 PM]

I'm going to start saying "strap on your stupid" on a daily basis.

[#12 posted by SapphireSniper , January 25, 2008 1:17 PM]

This is so awesome and yes I looked it up on ebay before checking the comments :) I should have trusted my fellow boingers! Keep these comming!

[#13 posted by dougp , January 25, 2008 1:24 PM]

educational and funny! I've never used paths before. Obviously, I suck at photoshop.

[#14 posted by Moon , January 25, 2008 1:28 PM]

That's hilarious! And the fact that it's actually up on eBay, priceless.

/Something has to be said about "My Damn Channel" - this short video had 5 popups come up. Geez.

[#15 posted by beepy , January 25, 2008 1:30 PM]

"This guy" is absolutely, positively, without a doubt Dane Cook. I do not like Dane Cook. I do not think Dane Cook is funny, or cool. But "You Suck at Photoshop" is very funny. This is why my head exploded.

How do I know? It's very "You Suck at Photoshop"-esque, but my girlfriend dated him before he was famous. She recognized his voice immediately.

[#16 posted by Skep , January 25, 2008 2:04 PM]

Video? Funny.

Pop up ads while movie Flash player is playing the video? Really Frickin' Annoying.

[#17 posted by Isara , January 25, 2008 2:21 PM]

Bwahahaha! I *love* these! And man, soooo right on that I never used that tab and have only used like $75/worth of Photoshop.... *blush*

[#18 posted by jeremedia , January 25, 2008 3:17 PM]

Yeah, the ads OVER the video are annoying. I stopped watching when the second one bounced on. Not the solution.

[#19 posted by Offramp1211 , January 25, 2008 6:08 PM]

This series is an absolute treasure. My sides hurt when I finally manage to stop laughing...

Each of these "you-suck-at-photoshop" video streams are what moves YouTube ahead of all other forms of broadcast media today.

Bravo boingboing, you have the uncanny ability to deliver thought provoking joy everyday. Thank you.

[#20 posted by clothingoptional , January 25, 2008 7:17 PM]

Bid is up to $676, so Donnie has made at least $426 after using $250 worth of photoshop. Profit!

[#21 posted by Church , January 25, 2008 7:18 PM]

Wait, what happened? This is no longer a youtube link? Or is there a weird youtube "it's popular enough that we can obstruct it with ads" option? I can't click through anymore, so I'm not sure.

Also, moderating appears to be getting a bit too heavy-handed here.

[#22 posted by Takuan , January 25, 2008 7:45 PM]

link works,you're being paranoid

[#23 posted by Skep , January 25, 2008 8:08 PM]

The photo on the eBay ad appears to be the exact one in the demonstration. You can see the sharp point on the upper inside of the ring from where "Donnie" pulled the bezier handle out too far, causing interference with the neighboring smooth bezier point.

Q: I was wondering why you didn't just use the magic wand tool for your Photoshop tutorial. Cheers Jan-25-08
A: Because there's no magic in my wand. I thought I made that clear.

[#25 posted by drewish , January 25, 2008 10:55 PM]

oh my f-ing god. read the questions and answers on the auction it's even funnier than the videos.

[#26 posted by Takuan , January 25, 2008 11:05 PM]

$700.00

[#27 posted by Pyros , January 26, 2008 2:16 AM]

I guess gold is the heaviest metal after all.

[#28 posted by bobk , January 26, 2008 2:47 AM]

Donny Answers All! Go to ebay through the link at the beginning of this discussion and read the ebay q&a that people ask the seller about the item. Hilarious!

[#29 posted by dculberson , January 26, 2008 10:28 AM]

Evil Jim: I think the stammering is him trying to sound sad and choked up with emotion.

[#30 posted by Mechphisto , January 26, 2008 8:37 PM]

Oh nohz! The item's been removed from eBay!
Poo.

Between #3's, "Sprained your vaginas" and this one's, "Strap on your stupid", I have a total crush on whoever writes the scripts for these things. Genius!
