Those dudes have waaaaay too much time on their hands!

Can you imagine the look on some old womans face when she looks out her window and sees a flock of glowing sheep run by?

Oh that is SO righteous. The pong bit is a particularly nice touch!

I think some parts are fake, I'm not sure but it was incredible. The fireworks was magical. If a guy proposes to me in that manner... OMG, I will say yes a hundred times.

That is an AWSOME video. Amazing some of the crazy stuff that people can come up with. The dog control is what baffels me. Pretty cool stuff.

I've seen this in action at the Texas State Fair. The shepherds don't do a thing with the sheep. They train the dogs, and you can hear their whistles in the video that tell the dogs where to move the sheep. When they whistle, the dogs move the sheep in a certain direction. I really believe they managed to herd the sheep this way using their dogs because I've seen it in real life. it's the time lapse and the, how show we call it?, choreography that's pretty amazing. If you've never seen real shepherds and sheep dogs in action you have to. It's an amazing treat.
