Mountain Chicken!
I am mis-using closed captions for a gag. The following video has an audio track and four sets of captions (for now?). Each set of captions is in English. Only one set of captions represents the spoken dialog, the other two represent dialog not in the video. The tracks are exposed in modern browsers by the names I have assigned them.
I did not make an audio described version of the video, but following the video is a transcript for each caption track. The VTT files (and video) are also linked within the <video> element for those cases where your browser does not support <video> but your local media player lets you import caption files.
Probably best viewed on a monitor in portrait orientation. You know, the one you use to read documents and shout at PDFs. Oh, and maybe with volume down if you are at the office because some employers choose to get faint over naughty words but not wage theft.
All the new dialog is courtesy Scott O’Hara, with minor edits by this guy (me).
