omg!!!!! ***Thank you!!!!!***
That was FABULOUS!!!!! Hysterical. So CLEVER!!!!!

Ok I'll calm down now.

I have loved Rube Goldberg configurations/contraptions since I was a kid! They bring me such laughter and joy!

This I think is the best one I've ever seen. Around the whole house, and then the grounds!!! Glorious!
I was really concerned about the skinny tracks with the ? golf balls (don't fall off! =O )

It IS a nice of land!

And if you want to see in smaller scale indoors - i'd say with the same level of skillful funny cleverness -look up on YT;
"Pass the Salt" and "Pass the Pepper"
Bwaahaahhaahahaaaaa
Enjoy!

Oh, and my other faves are the Gigantic Dominoes set ups

Can't watch it often enough.
Posted it up to my students with the admonition that their "boredom" (constantly!) is of their own doing. I just wonder how many times that kid had to run this to get everything in the exact right place.

Boredom meet creativity.
What a wonderful piece of performance art. This deserves a obie or Emmy or whatever. Can you tell I likes it.

I have enough stuff to do something like that. Wonder if the guy would come and take it all?
