Everyday I am more and more glad that MySpace didn't exist when I was 13 and practicing gang signs. Whew.

@Josh - I just imagined the look of utter confusion on your face

@fuscom - I thought the same thing, except I thought of a hand clapping game that included the lyrics "Shimmy shimmy cocoa puff, shimmy shimmy shake" Of course, once I looked up the lyrics I found 800 different versions of the song.

I am a regular hand shaker, but I was at a VC/Startup meetup the other day and multiple guys commented that I had a firm handshake. So, maybe too strong?

Dang, I could totally mumble for 4 minutes. But maybe not do the beehive thing. It must get really itchy.

I pay for music.

Jensized - I've never heard that one before, but I must get some sort of I-95 gear now that I've left the East Coast.

Lately, it's been this 80's gem:

The weirdness at the end of the video is brilliant in its insanity.

Thanks Scrivs. I made my roommates gather around the laptop so that we could all watch it a couple of times. Of course, now they're making the screaming bear noise. So maybe it isn't so great after all.

If I had Showtime, then Dexter would be on my list. I enjoy House, Friday Night Lights, and because it is on ALL THE FREAKING TIME, Law and Order.

I like Law and Order for the reasons that Stephen Johnson points out in Everything Bad is Good for You.

Maybe she just got one on Woot. I feel like they show up on that site all of the time.

Hi, my name is Abi Jones and today I've consumed three caffeinated beverages.

That is too many.

Actually i was right
Jeez

888/8 = 111

Actually, I was wrong. I misread your post. Not as genius as I thought.

V. V. Sad :(

Wow, I can't believe how awesomely fast I came up with that. Yay for living with a math nerd.

Here's a new riddle (no googling!):

Create an equation with a list of numbers from 1 to 9 that equals 100.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 = 100

888/8

Weird. I just came here from reading Questionable Content. I'm not sure if that's under the radar enough, but it is fun.

Also, when I remember to read it, I enjoy OK/Cancel. Because I'm the Tomo of my organization and sometimes it really, really hurts.

Anyways, this is a terrific note, so points to Peroty!

Thanks, Ollie. I have to keep reminding myself that it took 8 months and an article in a major magazine to get HeatEatReview where it is now.

Now I just have to be patient and keep posting ridiculous things.

What, and miss out on my chance to wear penis-draped items?

Thanks E*

That wedding sounds ridiculous. Also, I keep picturing Madonna's Frozen video. You know, the one where she's turning into blackbirds and wearing mendhi in the middle of the Mojave:

Scrivs, maybe you have whatever was going around my office. Muy horrible!

I'm going to see Die Hard 4 tonight. I think it is the extraordinarily violent 12 year-old in me that is really excited about the movie. Two weeks ago I wasn't excited about it, and I don't particularly enjoy Bruce Willis's politics, but now I can't wait. And I'm not an action movie person.

Also, woo Fandango!

(That's the middle-aged part of me that hates sitting close to the screen saying that.)

Oh dang. That is hilarious in everything that it doesn't say. I have never been so amused by an image of Adam Smith.

I'm following the Canadian Brass as they tour North America. We call ourselves BrassHeads.

Next stop: Edmonton, Alberta!

Yes, the last concert I attended was the Canadian Brass. But, if you were ever a band kid, I dare you to see them and not enjoy yourself.

I picture them in shark-infested waters, that's why.

Peroty, did you mean that Ninjas are greater than Pirates? In that case it would be Ninjas > Pirates.

I'd prefer to go out for drinks with Pirates, but I would rather be a ninja, especially considering that one of my college nicknames was 'Ninja Jones'.

And I concur with Ryan on the cleanliness thing.

Ugh. They're playing the Patriot Center in Fairfax, VA. This might go against my vow to avoid Fairfax county once I graduate.

They are amazing live! I saw them last summer, with The Shins opening for them. Unfortunately, the Shins aren't letting NPR stream their act, but you can hear the White Stripes and M. Ward at http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4834385

Or check out the main NPR Live concert series page at http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4627437.

It is perfect for those times when last.fm isn't working.

Oh, and if you do catch The White Stripes live, I promise that the following two thoughts will occur to you:

• Wow, Meg White is really small.
• Did Jack White rise from the dead for this performance?

I think the opportunity to work there is one of the few things that would get me to NY. But then I thought 'What the heck? I work with a bunch of fun twenty-(and early thirty)-somethings! We could do a video!

Then I realized that our office is so crammed with cubicles we'd have trouble putting together a crowd scene without someone accidentally impaling themselves on a letter opener.

Anyways, this is where I ask people if they can recommend a service for vlogging.

I completely agree with Ollie. If you're looking for a date movie, absolutely, positively don't see Mulholland Drive. Well, unless miniature elderly people turn you on.

I'm pretty sure those are the folks who run Vimeo, College Humor, and Busted Tees.

Does Shaun of the Dead count? It is the best, by far.

You know who killed her? Time's person of the year, that's who.

I only have famous-for-DC celebrity sightings:

A literal run-in with James Carville. I work above the Palm in DC, so there are always self-involved suit-clad men loitering around the front door. Not saying that James Carville is self-involved; I was the one who wasn't watching where I was going.
