this is the sound of Mr. Hyneman having fun
omg, season premiere of Mythbusters: SO AWESOME.
Also, it led to this conversation:
thingswithwings: "Man, I will give a million internet dollars to anyone who can get Jamie Hyneman and John Sheppard to hug in a plausible fashion. Without mind control. Or drugs. With emotions."
eruthros: "I think basically you have to have the world being invaded by HUG-SENSITIVE ALIENS. Who can only be defeated by love and cuddles! And at first John Sheppard and Jamie Hyneman try to shoot the aliens with bullets, and when that doesn't work Jamie builds a gun to fire, like, little heart-shaped pink cushions and sweet-tarts . . . "
thingswithwings: "Love poems!"
eruthros: "And when that doesn't work, they sort of look at the evil hug-sensitive aliens, and look at each other, and look at the aliens again, and then move in slowly for one of those horrible awkward back-patting stiff hugs."
thingswithwings: "But that won't work! You need love and cuddles to defeat the aliens!"
eruthros: "Yeah, so they end up moving in closer and closer as their hug continues not to work! And then John yells HUG ME HARDER!"
thingswithwings: "Hug haaaaaaaaaard! Hurrrrrryyyyy! It's a curling game all of a sudden!"
LOLZ.
Although, disclaimer, actually this episode of Mythbusters had nothing to do with Jamie hugging anyone. But it did include him building a giant shoulder-mounted gun out of things he found in the shop, which for Jamie is roughly equivalent to giving Adam a hug.
