We’ve Discussed It…

by sj

We’re TOTALLY learning how to do this dance.

Yes, we know everyone has seen this, but Leonard Nimoy with a huge grin on his face is worth watching over and over.

Also, today is the Snobbery’s five month anniversary! I had set ~~silly~~ personal goals when I started the blog that have all been smashed way before the six months I allotted for them. Thank you for that. Really. Thank you for every day that you read. It’s really appreciated.

Since we heart you all, here’s a picture of the Dodisharkicorn taking Meg and I on a date for our anniversary.

I feel like I’m not intoxicated enough to fully appreciate that video or this post. Does the shark part of the Dodisharkicorn have a horn itself? Is it really a narwhal?

  He’s the sharkicorn from a few Low-kus ago!

Nice one Snobs.

Them five months go fast. In the picture are you being dropped off or picked up?

  Er – I had to drive. It’s pretty difficult arranging transport for a Dodisharkicorn, y’know?

    Now, now, don’t be ridiculous, sjazzles. The dodisharkicorn knows how to fly. He has no need for cars.
    
    Except for lamborghinis. He loves the lambos.

I had never seen the video before. Quite possibly the best thing I’ve ever seen.

And I want to amend my Doctor comment. I had to look up his name, but my favourite was Tom Baker, the one my 9 year old self spent hours watching down in our gold shag carpeted dark wood panelled rec room in the basement.

  He was my favourite when I was small! So many hours spent watching his episodes and I so wanted his scarf!

Dodisharkicorn is a big spender. Avoid the taco Loco.

I just watched the video. Around here we call that the “It’s pizza night!” dance. I don’t understand why Leonard Nimoy is the only one who DOESN’T have pointy ears in this video.

I’m assuming the dodisharkicorn is treating you two to taco bell, not because you are expensive dates, but because he spent all his money on the 9 piece tux.

  Hee! Meg and my husband got into an argument last night about how many sides the unicorn’s portion of the tux actually has. I could not stop laughing for a good half hour.

    I am really out of it when I wake up! I typed “birthday”, and then I thought that it wasn’t right, so I commented again.
    
    Ugh. I think I’m rambling. I’m still out of it. Excuse my lack of brains here today, ladies. At least I’m not talking about something completely random though…

I’m glad I read the entire post. My initial thought upon seeing that awesome pic was that the Dodisharkicorn had jumped the Sharkicorn; thereby precipitating upcoming posts featuring an unknown brother of the Dodisharkicorn, or worse yet – Fonzie on water skis.

It is the Spock haircut that sells the Bilbo song. These guys did some weird musical stuff. And we let them. He was sort of jumping the shark way before the Fonz did it. Fonzie’s first name was the same as mine. Coincidence? I doubt it.

And if you learn that dance, there better be a music video put out for us to see.

  I don’t know if you could handle my dancing. I’ve been told* I’m something of a mix of Fred Astaire**, Shakira***, and your awkward Uncle [insert name here]**** – you know, the one who always gets tipsy at family events and tries to get everyone to do the hand jive/disco/Macarena – in terms of my dancing abilities.

  I love it too! I have been singing it since last night. It’s better than most of the other songs I have running through my head usually, so I’m okay with that. Husband did give me looks last night when I was getting this ready, though. “Wait, why are we listening to this again, again?” Because we are, that’s why.

  I am kind of shocked (and a little saddened) at the number of people that have never seen/heard this. Didn’t everyone grow up with Dr Demento?

    I really only had audio of Dr. Demento, the cassette and eventually CD variety. I was a late bloomer.

      I remember (at some point in the 80s) when MTV showed only music still, and they would occasionally have Dr Demento weekends. Those were my favourite.

Yay, it’s Leonard Nimoy being his usual awesome self. I always did like his music videos better than the Shat’s. Likely because he can (somewhat) hold a tune. Happy Anniversary!

I had no idea this video existed. Dear god.

Now, I’m assuming you know this one…but just in case you missed it (or just need another delightful reprise of Spock getting his Ke$ha on): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZWaWrvJ7nA

But I doubt (on the subject of dances you want to learn) that you know THIS one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4awZg4QOqA

(“At Last the 1948 Show” was pretty patchy compared to its genius child Monty Python, but on the other hand, it didn’t have Tim Brooke-Taylor OR Marty Feldman.)

Thanks, guys. I needed that laugh.

  Okay, those are both pretty amazing, and I’m sad that they are just now coming into my life. They will definitely be revisited.
  
  Prior to discussing this with Meg the other night, the only video dance I’d ever wanted to learn was this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EU1CDSP7FRk
