Does it get more lascivious after a while? I don't have time to watch 18 minutes to get to dry humping or something.
Pornography has deadened our former ability to be lascived by subtle things.
Let me add that I completely disapprove of the sartorial mismatch in the second couple.
Sometimes you see it, sometimes you don't.
I think those are just very well-muscled buttocks.
9: Rub it in, all you able-bodied assholes!
8: aren't you back in another month or so?
Rubbing it in is another thing that two functional arms makes easier.
10: About 10% of my tapeworms are seriously impaired, you insensitive speciest.
Nah, works fine with both arms behind your head.
11: Yes, but perhaps only for long enough to pack up my things. It depends on the, umm, pet situation.
When you're not oblivious, everything is lascivious.
It depends on the, umm, pet situation.
I really created a monster, didn't I?
No way, man. The pet metaphors are the greatest invention this blog has seen since presidential anonymity.
I have a different view of the best innovation.
You mean you have a different view of what the best innovation is, I take it.
But regardless, OPINIONATED GRANDMA predates the presidential stuff.
Pause/play is obviously the best innovation since presidential anonymity.
Hm, that is a strong contender, it's true.
Let me add that I completely disapprove of the sartorial mismatch in the second couple.
Do you find them mismatched to each other, or to the retro-vibe of the other dancers? I liked that their clothes were pretty everyday, because I thought it made the dancing seem more fun and sexy and less like a formal performance.
22.1: That is what I meant.
22.2: Both started before I was here.
I also don't like the fact that the embedded video is cut off on the right. You'd think youtube could generate proper defaults for the embedding code they give you, but apparently no.
Pause/play was asilon's invention, right? I can't find the thread.
Yeah, PK's. I forget who started using it in comments, though.
Did PK actually comment? I'm confused.
Apparently asilon was the first to use it in comments (or at least that was ogged's impression).
He didn't, but he had invented the pause/play signs in real life (he'd hold up his two index fingers in parallel or something), and Tedra brought it over in textual form.
Found the first use I remember encountering.
That appears to be the first use period.
I thought pause/play was older than presidential? I thought presidential anonymity was relatively recent, but probably that just means I was around a reasonable time before it started, not that it was actually all that recent.
Neither first use nor first mention. Note that AWB confirms the origins in PK of ||.
Presidential anonymity is significantly older than pause-play (although its form has changed a bit from the original concept).
Wow. Go, PK. How did I miss that thread?
Still, it appears the "play" part of pause/play might have been asilon's innovation?
From the same thread as the link in 42, this seems to be the first mention of PK's usage.
Still, it appears the "play" part of pause/play might have been asilon's innovation?
Yeah, that seems right.
PK altered the way we all talk on the internet! He's accomplished more significant change in the world at his young age than I have in my entire life to date.
Weird. I totally missed the pause/play thread, so somehow just became aware of the convention after having seen it for a long time. But I'm not quite sure how I internalized presidential as a new innovation, when it just wasn't that much after I started reading.
I still have no idea how to make the "pause" sign of two straight lines, so I like to stick to the good old fashioned "OT."
Seriously? It's Shift + \ (the key above Enter and to the right of the square brackets on my keyboard; others may differ slightly).
Parentheses would make more sense to me, but when in Tron.
Oh hey you're right. The keypad has always shown two little vertical lines with a space in the middle and I've never had any need for that character.
Fucking keyboard, how does it work. Anyone have any other tricks for me?
But why does the keyboard lie to me about what the character looks like? It's bizzare.
Wikipedia has more than you ever wanted to know.
Apparently there's some complicated history there. That still doesn't explain why, admittedly.
That was more than I wanted to know. But I am kind of pissed off that the keyboard is a LIE.
Just get a keyboard with blank keycaps, like a real man, Halford.
3, 26: I'm not sure it was just the clothes that made the second couple's dancing seem "fun and sexy". The woman really had something impressive going on with her hips.
The guy didn't dance well enough to wear street clothes to a competition.
Also I do not see people wearing dresses like that pretty everyday, though I'll grant the case for the shoes.
It now occurs to me, actually, that I don't see many dresses at all pretty everyday, so I guess I lack essential context.
Isn't most partner dancing at least vaguely lascivious?
65 puts me in mind of the scene in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf where Martha and Nick are dancing and Honey says it seems like they've danced together before. George responds "It's a familiar dance, Monkey Nipples. They both know it."
I think the third couple is best at doing blues in the Lindy idiom. Lots of sort of tango going on in rest of it. Yellow Dress' sexy gangly Charleston is inspired, too.
I don't think the hambo is lascivious at all.
Right after the gorilla comes through and beats its chest.
Is nosflow flirting with Beefo Meaty?
Who put the boop in the boop shdoop shdoop?
No.
Nor do I have faith in g-d above.
How topical can it be? I can't even put my finger on it.
