This blog's coworker recently purchased a Hot Dance dance pad. A good laugh was had at the expense of the poorly translated instructions. Now through the miracle of paperhat, you too can be part of the fun.
UPDATE: This instruction manual is in no way related to Sarah's upcoming birthday.
It's been at least fifteen years since I've heard a Freedom Rock commercial, but still can't hear the intro to Cream's White Room without thinking, "Hey man, is that Freedom Rock?"
This has been your Freedom Rock update. You may not resume your regular duties.
From Engadget. I want to see these in action, but no source is given for the photo.
A trusted advisor to this blog brought a new Google service to our attention. Google Video Search will let you search the closed-caption text of television shows and show you the results along with an image of what was on the screen when your search phrase was uttered. Search for "paper hat",or get quotes from that episode of Saved by the Bell where Screech goes into the spaghetti sauce business.
For reasons I can't reveal until after Sarah's birthday, I read the Amazon reviews for Breakdance Step-by-Step . I came across this gem in one of the reviews: 
If you only buy one B-Boy video in your entire life you should buy the Detours video at detoursvideo.com. When viewing Detours be sure to wear a helmet or other protective headgear to catch your mind in when it gets blown. If you only buy two B-Boy videos, Breakdance Step-by-Step should be the second.
This is advice I am certain to follow.

I need somebody who will vouch that they saw me at Highland Mall between 8:30 and 8:45 last Tuesday night. Helps if you were at the mall Tuesday, but if you were alone during that time, that is okay too. You should only have to talk to the police briefly. I am short on cash right now, but I am willing to trade your services for a lady's wedding band or a lightly used Louis Vuitton purse. If you can help a brother out, your prompt response will be appreciated. |
I'm a little late for a 2004 retrospective, but here it is anyway. You can see all these plus a few more in larger sizes at flickr
