Q: What’s the most dangerous YouTube rabbit hole you’ve fallen down?
A: The “X vs Quad City DJs” rabbit hole. You know, most rabbit holes are warmed over conspiracy hokum from The X-Files craze of the 1990s. I was so over that crap New Year’s Day 2000. But when I found out that people were bluntly combining famous songs from the pop charts and anime openings with Quad City DJs? That was basically my Cocaine Bliss Party. I could not get off that train for the better part of a three day weekend. I eventually hit my limit when I found a video that mashed up Quad City DJs with “Come Sweet Death” from The End of Evangelion. I had found my White Whale. I could, at last, go to bed. Come the morning, I was burned-out to ashes, but over the following week I arose like the phoenix. I wouldn’t say I have any regrets, but I don’t need to put myself through that particular ordeal again any time soon.
