We have a lot of computer geniuses on here. I'm not one of them. But back during the first term of our previous president, I created a video.

Some background. We had a member on here who, well, let's just say truth was not his forte. One night in FlashChat he was lying about the plane he wasn't about to buy, a P-Baron. And in FlashChat, he stated that it had performance that was effectively equivalent to a LearJet.

Thus the LearBaron was born.

In those days, the website xtranormal was still present on the internet. You've seen its videos before. Like this one:


And this one:


(and I just found this Hitler video making fun of the Duke that wasn't as funny as EdFred's zoom climb video but is pretty funny)


Back to xtranormal. I, yes, Ted, created a video of enormous enormance.

It was one of the best pieces of internet video to ever be passed over WiFi. It was called:

LearBarons Explained

Unfortunately, xtranormal shut down. It looks like the website exists again, but the links to the old content don't work anymore. I've eMailed the new site owners, but I doubt they'll help me.

We all know that nothing on the internet ever truly disappears. The LearBaron needs to return. And I need your help to find it. I have no idea where to look. Google just points me back to some PoA threads where I linked to xtranormal. But there must be other crevices of the interwebz where they are hiding.

Help me find the LearBaron video. For the good of humanity. Please.
 
all the things you want to hide are preserved forever, and readily available on the internet;
anything you really don't want to lose slips away easily.
 
I sent the new owners of xtranormal an eMail. They gave me a very nice response, but they didn't save any of the content.

It appears that YouTube created a channel that's supposed to automatically save the xtranormal content. The question is whether the video is hidden somewhere among those. It's not easily searchable.

I searched that channel and didn't find it.

I did find it through a title search, but the titles didn't transfer exactly in some cases as far as I can tell. For example, "Look Cool in a Beech Duke" was originally "Dukes Explained", which is where I got the inspiration for "LearBarons Explained." I also don't know if that video was imported automatically or by someone manually.

The next hope is that I could somehow find the script that I wrote for it, because there's no way I could ever be that funny again.
