I don't know how many of you guys are aware of this little application, but it became one of the biggest success stories of the year.

I've been dabbling with it since April and it has become one of my favorite creative outlets. Whenever I'm stressed out or need a break, the people on Vine always perk me right up.

Some of the people on there are pretty damn clever/creative/funny.
Does anybody else on our grand forum have this application?
I'd be interested to see what some of you guys would do with it.

Anyway through the magic of Vine, I'm gonna wish all you folks "Happy Holidays". Cheers to all. (and no I don't work for vine, just an enthusiast)

It's Alex Hugh Hefner Gonzo Claus!

"A Clockwork Orange" is one of my favourite movies/books so I really like your clip there, Gonzo.(y) Nice homage and instantly recognizable from the very 1st note. (Love the holder but your cig needs to be sparked up, boy!:p)

You're an inspiration. For kicks, I'll try out this Vine thing and post the result here. (This could end up being more fun than the almost-1-year-dormant Ugly Mugs thread.)

In the meantime...
HAVE A HOLLY, JOLLY, ULTRAVIOLET CHRISTMAS! :D

Well thanks Stoo, it was a happy holiday... (y)

Did you end up trying Vine? I think I may be seriously addicted to it.

anyway... one for the Indy fans.

I love these, people get so creative with them. Just search VINE COMPILATION on youtube and you'll have hours of entertaining videos to watch.

Love 'em but the autoplay is killing the page.

Yeah. Is there a way to post them without autoplay? Gonzo, we can re-embed these in a non-autoplay fashion if you can PM one of us the proper code.

there is a way to post without sound on and turning it on as an option... i just sent you the embeds.

Sorry about that. thought didn't occur to me. :eek:

it is rather annoying this way isn't it? imagine if there were like 20 videos... it'd either be genius of a nightmare...

...no it would just be a nightmare.

Not a problem. They're fun little things, to be sure. It's just that autoplay is the worst. :)

This morning on Good Morning America one of my Vines was featured and compared to Hitchcock and Kubrick (sort of) :cool:

If you're wondering it was this one:

Do I get a round of drinks on the house?
