Generations from now, they won't call it the Internet anymore. They'll just say, "I logged on to the Jim Groom this morning.
-Joe McMahon
Everything Jim Groom touches is gold. He's like King Midas, but with the Internet.
-Serena Epstein
My understanding is that an essential requirement of the internet is to do whatever Jim Groom asks of you while you're online.
-James D. Calder
@jimgroom is the Billy Martin of edtech.
-Luke Waltzer
My 3yr old son is VERY intrigued by @jimgroom's avatar. "Is he a superhero?" "Well, yes, son, to many he is."
-Clint Lalonde
Jim Groom is a fiery man.
-Antonella Dalla Torre
“Reverend” Jim “The Bava” Groom, alias “Snake Pliskin” is a charlatan and a fraud, a self-confessed “used car salesman” clawing his way into the glamour of the education technology keynote circuit via the efforts of his oppressed minions at the University of Mary Washington’s DTLT and beyond. The monster behind educational time-sink ds106 and still recovering from his bid for hipster stardom with “Edupunk”, Jim spends his days using his dwindling credibility to sell cheap webhosting to gullible undergraduates and getting banned from YouTube for gross piracy.

There’s brilliant, there’s genius, and then there’s this…
If I could have a do-over on my dissertation, I just might focus on this one video. I love that the quality of the film looks like this was shot in the early 1970s. But it was probably made in 2004. And I also love the section where the singer collapses the Michael Jackson and the Vincent Price parts into one vibe… I could go on.
I actually found this as a related video to one my (Indian) brother-in-law sent me… Barack OBollywood:

This puts me in the mood for a good old-fashioned Chiranjeevi tractor fight:

Great vid. Definitely worthy of a chapter or two.
Love that tractor fight. Some kind of fight choreography there. Yuen Woo who?
Hilarious. If you click through to YouTube there is a version of this video with English “translations”.
@Luke- This is a rare gem, indeed. I actually like the music a lot, and the fact that this is a somewhat heavyset dude in the tight red outfit makes the sex appeal far greater for me.
@Brian- The tractor fight is insane, leave it to you to dig up one of the most bizarre clips I have yet to see on YouTube. I love that tractor donuts become a lethal fighting style. Who knew muddied waters could be such a forceful weapon.
