Work it harder make it better do it faster makes us stronger

Today's post has been brought to you by my brother's ability to figure out my digital camera for me. You see, I've known how to take videos with it, but have never taken the time to learn how to turn on the microphone so that it takes videos with sound. I did consult my owner's manual a couple of times, but that is a worthless waste of ink and paper as far as I'm concerned. Sure, it tells me where to find the power button, and how to zoom in and out, but what kind of retard* can't figure that out on their own?

Since I'm too dumb to figure it out, I had my brother take a look at it, and he was able to do it in about five minutes. What can I say? He's technologically superior** to me. He figured it out while I was in the bathroom, so of course he had to come pick the lock and take video footage of me taking a crap. Don't be too disappointed, but I deleted that file. I did, however, record my five year old showing off some more dance moves. The video kind of lulls in the middle, but it's worth watching until the end. Trust me.





*I can hear you asking what kind of retard can't figure out how to turn on the mic on their own, and the answer is me. Obviously.

**I'm still superior in height though.

Hey, you failed to mention that you have been coaching him. I definitely noticed some of the "Big D" dance moves in there. :P

Serioulsy - what the heck are you letting him watch? But I do agree that he seems to take after you in dance moves! :)

We're not sure where he gets it, but we think it's a combination of seeing the SNL skit with Chris Farley and Patrick Swayze at Chippendale try-outs and the new Robbie Williams music video where he pulls his skin off and starts throwing it to the ladies. I can assure you that I lack the coordination to pull off any kind of dance moves.

I enjoyed the "one hand behind the head and finger pointing" move along with the t-shirt between the legs. Hee hee hee

Ahaha! Oh man, your kid's adorable!
He has a pretty mean windmill (and he's trying to imitate some moves from "Rock DJ?" That explains a lot)!
My favorite part has to be where the dog goes up to him and licks his hand like "What's wrong?" and then M almost lands on him.
Good stuff.

Thanks for the giggles, they were much needed and appreciated!

LOL!! This is priceless! That's it. He's the one I'm going to kidnap first :-) Yeah, I think he is a future Cheppendale without question!! Or you could send him to a cirque camp. That would be awesome! The dog is also very cute.
