First interesting thing I've seen in a while. It works.

#23It reminds me of memories. Whenever I try and remember something from years ago, it comes back in snippets like this.

#30This is seriously fantastic. I saw Vine yesterday and thought it was a cool concept but didn't try it, after watching this I've downloaded the app and shared it with a bunch of friends and they're now downloading the app too! Such a simple and brilliant idea, Vine should add this to their homepage. edit: I've now been watching this for 40 minutes... why are the banal acts of ordinary people so interesting?! Maybe it'…
I'm surprised vineroulette.com wasn't the chosen URL for this
