This may be more the territory of our observant friends at dangerhere.com as, I warn you in advance, it contains a raw unedited Hamiltonism. It’s a video posted on YouTube by BohsTV which is also available on the Bohs official site, where I spotted it first. It documents the first, and possibly only, […]
