I’m basically a 5-year-old.
I get all excited about something and then 20 seconds later I’m looking at the walls and wondering why they’re yellow and what yellow paint tastes like.
Like tonight I was critiquing my dance video and trying to think of some new moves and I remembered that I made that video as part of a challenge and that other people were supposed to make videos too and it was going to be really cool.
And then it hit me. People don’t want to make dance videos because it’s fun. They want to make dance videos because there is a possibility they can win shit.
And it doesn’t matter what kind of shit. They just want to win it.
So with this epiphany in hand, the “Show Me Your Moves” Dance Challenge is no longer a challenge. It’s a contest. And this is the prize*, **, ***:
So this time, please send in your moves. I’m especially interested in a new dance for stag wedding guests to do when slow songs come on.
See, now you can show me your moves AND help young, single wedding attendees avoid texting their ex or getting forced to dance with someone’s great uncle.
*I will totally be entering, FYI.
**I will pick a 3rd party to select the winner.
***To be eligible for the prize you must send in your video by June 1, 2010. SHOW ME YOUR MOVES!
On a side note, if you’re still bored at work, check out Boy Toy Brad’s new post about his trip to the kitchen.
Why do you make public humiliation so tempting? Can’t we just write a short essay on why how socially awkward we are? Like this one.
That essay was fantastic but a dance video would be even better!
The only move I have is the waddle.. And its just painful to watch, not even funny. I did have a really cool disco dance routine from a workout video that I did during month 5-7 and THAT was funny to watch!
Submit it!
Wait. So. the trophy is the prize now?
Yep! Or you can just buy your own by googling “get custom trophy made online.”
LOL.. unfortunately still not enough enticement for me to show you my moves!
How about… two trophies?! A Boy Toy Brad doll!?
I don’t think you could handle theeeesseee movveeesss (I’m scrunching up my face as I type this) Screw the slow dance business, I want to see people really shake it.
By the way I’m a horrible dancer and no one should be subjected to watching the catastrophe that are my “moves”.
I’m ready for the punishment. Are you ready to be Participant #2?!
This is freaking hilarious. I can’t dance. My video would frighten small children and break my video camera but can’t wait to see what all the crazy people on the “internets” come up with.
Although I do like that trophy. It would go nicely with my best Halloween Costume trophy that I used to have on my desk…at work. Yeah I’m THAT nerdy and I don’t care!
