  • Fourth... and huh?

    So, since I don't post often, I'm just not sure what's being satirized. Is the first posting often superficial? Are other posters jealous someone else got there first (and grumble, "he's not even serious," to themselves?)

    I posted a video on youtube... I kinda wish someone would post first... hi, or something... It probably shouldn't be me...

  • Very amusing. And appropriate!

    Video Dog certainly has one or two first-posters. I won't name names. I think I've posted first a couple of times. Not just to be first, but because I felt I had something to say and I just happened to be the first.

    I may have even posted "first!" as a comment, but I did it under the name of a frequent first-poster to poke fun at him for it.

    I would think the best first-poster would simply write "1st". It uses two fewer characters, so that would improve the posting time by about 1/4 second. Just a thought.

  • Somewhere in the middle!

    ...that is, uh, after a few more people have posted below me. So, for now, like, "last," but probably not for good. Unless nobody else really sees a need to post about this video, in which case I guess I'll still be last. Not the middle.

    I think it's really important to post in the middle, because... if... um, if there were no middle, then the ends would fall off. And if there were no last, then "first" would be... "only?" See what I mean? You bitches?

  • First!

    I realize that the title of this post is inaccurate and I offer no apology for that. None.

    For Kerry's next trick, he'll introduce us to this guy named Judson Llaiply and his wicked-cool "Evolution of Dance."

  • by the way

    This video goes on slightly too long, and you can tell the guy is making a lot of it up as he goes, but it's still funny and he's got a good deadpan delivery. Please target more internet asshats (except me) in the future.

  • reminds me of....

    The guy at every concert who used to yell "Freebird." Since I haven't heard him lately, I think he must have died or maybe moved onto this new hobby.

  • First

    Let me be the first to say that unless you are over 60 it is a faux pas to drink straight from a screwtop bottle of any alcoholic beverage. Once you've accumulated the wizened look of experience it's ok!
