If only youtube and a video cam had been around at my prom after party... A group of my friends and I did a better version of that dance to Black Sheep's "StrobeLight Ho's." Granted, we were the only folks that knew the song would be played,(about 5 years after the album had dropped) but we blew them away with the Desmond Howard-Heisman pose and dance. It was a bit more Humpty Dance, but it rocked the house.

Uh, Clap Your Hands Say Yea is like so last year. Sufjan is like so 2004.

Tokyo Police Club is making the indie kids dance this year.

So, where's the Meat Loaf music? Or is it that we're supposed to want to get our "Monster's Loose" on the girls? You kids with your Hip-Hop, transistor radios and Dewey Decimal System...

Whatever. I'd rather do a Conn Smythe on that ho. But then again, that's just me.

The Conn Smythe trophy is shaped like Maple Leaf Gardens. So you'd...raise her hopes and dreams before crushing them to pieces like every year since 1967?

Good point about the beds. That's actually how I deciphered that they weren't in a McDonald's.

actually, we had mcdonalds when i was in prison. we also had a 42' plasma tv and an hour of 'recreation time' each day. prison was waaaaaaaaay more fun than being "free" and working at the firm i am at now.

ILovePaleHoseandPaleHos,

Looking at the color and number style, I want to venture a guess that #7 is a Billy Volek Titans jersey. The local sports emporium put a bunch of them on the discount table after he got traded to the Chargers earlier this year.
