Someone mentioned 'vocal fry' on a thread in AF.  Never heard of it so I went to youtube.

A woman demonstrates what it is.  Weird, that's what it is.

So youtube has those *sidebars* (I call them).

I see a sidebar youtube video of Lucille Ball, so of course I've gotta watch the video.  Bless her heart she has the ultimate vocal fry I guess from cigarette smoking.

Then a side bar to that video was her and Vivian Vance.  Vance tells a hysterical story of the King of Siam barging in on Lucy at home...you gotta hear this story.  Seriously.

Then it goes on from there *sidebar leads to sidebar*.  I can't tell you how much time went by watching one thing after the next.

It ended with me watching an almost hour long video of Piers Morgan interviewing Raquel Welch live on stage in front of an audience.

She is at the opposite end of vocal fry, btw.

And all that from just investigating what the original thread was about.

Happens when people post links here, too.  The links leads from one story to another.  And before I know it, it's time to make dinner!

This is how I ended up 'binge watching' the mtv show 'Catfish' a couple weekends ago. All those sidebars when i was watching  just 1 episode-  I'm caught up to the current season now!

I think that makes you a millennial

Hope it's ok for me to post this. 

I love looking at you tube videos. One of my favorites, that I've watched several times is from QVC in England. Search for QVC Vacuum disaster. So funny.

I've done the same thing.

Not related to voice fry.

Have you ever heard of Bad Lip Reading?   BLR?

Try that one next time, there goes another hour!!

Giggle.

Falling down the YouTube Rabbit Hole!

Somehow, someway I always click on something

that lands me in the 'weird part' part of YouTube.

Like making a wrong turn into a bad neighborhood....ha

I CAN  ger lost on youtube. It's like a drug.

[silentgirl]

It's a rabbit hole alright-

My sister sent me a link of cuteness and the next thing I knew, I'd spent an entire week-end watching the Jodi Arias trial!

The same thing happens to me on Pinterest!  I'm not much into Youtube, but once I start clicking on pictures on Pinterest, down the rabbit hole I go.  One link leads to another, and you're far from where you started.  And sometimes it's almost scary trying to get back to that original board, ha ha.
