Start with this one and the rest will be listed with it. Try not to do anything this guy recommends!

If it were a little more outlandish, it could pass for a genuine parody. But it's not a put-on!!

I played those for my ten year old son....

He asked: why didn't he at least plan out what he was going to say?


HAHAHAHHAAHAH

You can volunteer, have passion and also try to do things properly...I wouldn't pick on him if he did not post videos on EXPERT VILLAGE.

He is winging it and assumes he is doing it right...Would he try that with crown molding or baking a cake? Probably not.

Well, winging it as an umpire gives you pretty much the same result as it would with crown molding or a cake.

You might volunteer to bake me a cake and do it with great passion but if you do not have a recipe and instructions, I do not think I am liking that cake.

Would you please stop talking about cake?

Unfortunately, that's true in some areas.

In other areas training and competence are conisderations as well. This guy has neither. You are welcoime to him and his ilk.
