For all the Bunnies whose lives suck right now Here's hoping this video makes you smile as much as it makes me smile.

For a variety of reasons that I am not allowed to discuss on the internet, I am surrounded by death and dying. But I am also surrounded by new lives and celebrations. This song (and the video by extension) really captures the smiling through the tears, and how damn good it feels to smile.

I love Fat Boy Slim's sound so so much, but I love even more his appreciation for movement to music, as evidenced in his vids, which for me, and I recognize not everyone, is the point of music. This is awesome. And I'm sorry msali, to hear about your troubles.

There's a Bay Area hoops group that does hula-hooping in parks on Sunday afternoons. I keep wanting to give it a try (but am scared). I think it will take me weeks just to be able to get the thing to stay up for a minute ...

It has all the freshness and comfort feminine hygiene product advertisers strive for.

i'm always so averse to yt links because the urls are so unknownable.

hee, eth, which disturbs you most, the potential for unsolicited porn, furries or rickrolls?

I do believe firefox has addins that allow you to preview links (greasemonkey? anothermonkey? dunno...). noscript and adblocker have also become my bosom buddies of late.

None of the above. It's mostly the possibility of seven minutes of loading or bad video for ten seconds of pay off i'm not up to waiting for.
i get in a mood to just have things play at me, but it's different from the feedback experience i expect from being online. A day's worth of PRAus is OSSEM (said in the wide eyed genuine gravity of a five year old who KNOWS) but four minutes of questionable mystery footage, i have to be in the mood.

Hula hoops and bell bottoms were made to go together, I think.

I thought the profile shot as she hooped her boobies even made the cow take a step back.

Only thing was the music wasn't quite such a match, somehow.

her movement was, uh, rather hypnotic.

Yeah, Younger Boy was entranced. I tell you, I love that song now. It's my theme.
