I'm working on another video to follow that one for the R-2800's new supercharged encabulator along with the upended Nordoscopes.

1.2 gigawatts mixed with the flux capacitor can render the exhaust bearings unreliable therefor inhibiting the flow of turn signal fluid.... HUh! The funniest part was when the guy walked in front sweeping the floor. :drink3: :drink3:

Now I know where I went wrong, I only used 1.037 gigawatts. I'll try that to see if it works....

This video is the best thing that has come across WIX in awhile. Now we need someone to start bitching about it.

The only way it will work at power levels that low is if you substitute a discombobulated fratistat for the ectoplasmic relief valve. Trust me. I'm an engineer. I know these things. 8)

I think that the Turbo Encabulator needs some 30 weight ball bearings (because it's all ball bearings now days!). plus, remember to check the bypass line on the fetzer valve, and if needed, repair it with the 3 in 1 gauze and 10 quarts of antifreeze (Prestone, no make that Quaker State)!
