I was just wondering, do you think girls with mustaches know that they have mustaches? If they do, why don't they shave them. Just so you ladies don't think I'm picking on you, why don't men with long hairs growing out of their moles shave those suckers. Is it the source of their power? Is it considered good luck? At least braid it or something. Somebody shed some light on this phenomenon.
Here's some info about
the guy in the video that I pulled from his
website.
Matt is a
31-year-old deadbeat from Connecticut who used to think
that all he ever wanted to do in life was make and play videogames.
Matt achieved this goal pretty early and enjoyed it for a while, but
eventually realized there might be other stuff he was missing out on.
In February of 2003, he quit his job in Brisbane, Australia and used
the money he'd saved to wander around Asia until it ran out. He made
this site so he could keep his family and friends updated about where
he is.
A few months into his trip, a travel buddy
gave Matt
an idea. They were standing around taking pictures in Hanoi, and his
friend said "Hey, why don't you stand over there and do that dance.
I'll record it." He was referring to a particular dance Matt does. It's
actually the only dance Matt does. He does it badly. Anyway, this
turned out to be a very good idea.
A couple years
later,
someone found the video online and passed it to someone else, who
passed it to someone else, and so on. Now Matt is quasi-famous as "That
guy who dances on the internet. No, not that guy. The other one. No,
not him either. I'll send you the link. It's funny."
The response to the first video brought Matt to the attention
of the nice people at Stride gum.
They asked Matt if he'd be interested in taking another trip around the
world to make a new video. Matt asked if they'd be paying for it. They
said yes. Matt thought this sounded like another very good
idea.
In 2006, Matt took a 6 month trip through 39
countries on all 7 continents. In that time, he danced a great
deal.
The second video made Matt even more
quasi-famous. In fact, for a brief period in July, he was
semi-famous.
Things
settled down again, and then in 2007 Matt went back to Stride with
another idea. He realized his bad dancing wasn't actually all that
interesting, and that other people were much better at being bad at it.
He showed them his inbox, which, as a result of his semi-famousness,
was overflowing with emails from all over the planet. He told them he
wanted to travel around the world one more time and invite the people
who'd written him to come out and dance too.
The
Stride
people thought that sounded like yet another very good idea, so they
let him do it. And he did. And now it's done. And he hopes you like
it.
Matt
lives in Seattle, Washington with his girlfriend, Melissa, and dog,
Sydney. He hasn't had a real job since Stride called him up. Matt
doesn't mind working, but he doesn't much care for having to show up at
the same place every day.
Matt is not rich. Matt
also
doesn't have some magical secret for traveling cheaply. He does it
pretty much the same way everybody else does.
Matt
thinks Americans need to travel abroad more.
Matt
was a very poor student and never went to college. When he got older,
he was pleased to discover that no one actually cares. Matt doesn't
want to imply that college is bad or anything. He's just saying is all.
There's other ways to fill your head.
Matt is
left-handed.
When
Matt was younger, he could hang seven spoons on his face at once.
Sadly, puberty made Matt's face less conducive to
spoon-hanging.
Matt's Xbox Live screen name is
BadDancer. He plays a lot of Rock Band.
Matt
has a little piece of extra cartilage sticking out on the rim of one
ear and a little hole in the same place on the other ear. Since saying
so on this page, he's been informed that the extra piece of cartilage
is called a Darwinian Tubercle. Matt thinks this
is pretty much the greatest name for anything ever.
Oh, how lovely. I just tried to go to facebook and I typed in faecbook.com instead, by mistake, and it goes to porn!! Those bastards!! ( I was secretly pleasantly surprised). I bet those guys get a ton of hits because of that typo. Pretty smart though, why didn't i think of it first, damn!!
That just got the ol hamster runnin. I think AnD should buy all the possible typo combinations of urls of all the major sites and have them redirect to our site. Wouldn't it be rad if Yaoho, Goolge, or better yet, Brintteyspears.com went to AnD? I bet our traffic would go through the roof.
I was waiting for the train this morning. Just as it arrives, this lady jumps the line at the last second and scoots centimeters from the door so that her face was almost pressed against the glass. OH NO SHE D'Int!! I spied one lone seat through the window. She wasn't going to get it, I would be victorious. I could feel her anxiety, we were like race cars at the starting line waiting for the green light. I inched forward letting her know I was in the game. She countered with an inch of her own. I'm taking you down to Chinatown I thought. The doors open. Like lightning, she bolts in, cutting everyone off and pounces on the last open seat. FUUUUUUUK!
As I stood on the train giving her the stink eye, I began thinking, what kind of lady is this? I wonder what she is like on a day to day basis. Hmmm...she had glasses. She had a skirt that was way too long and old for her age, probably an ultra conservative type. Then I saw them. She had bows on her shoes. I think girls that have bows on their shoes are paranoid and grabby. I bet she has a lot of bars on her windows at home or something. She must give her kids hell if she has any. They're all going to run around like chickens with their heads cut off when they grow up.

Boon (aka King Kong Khoo) was born into poverty in the rural village of Dog Meat Taiwan, and is truly a story of rags to riches. From the beginning, Boon had a difficult childhood. His parents, trying to make ends meet, became Chinese acrobats and Boon was thrust into the circus at a very tender age. His mom was a plate spinner, his dad a human contortionist known as the Pai Gow Pretzel. Boon became a master of Chi and soon grew to be the headlining act for the circus. People came from near and far to see Wonder Weeny, the boy who could pull a busload of people with his privates.
But with all his fame and fortune came drugs, sex, and alcohol. Boon found himself spinning out of control like the plates on his mother's head. He withdrew from the fast paced life of the circus and into the world of entrapreneurship. He opened a modest business manufacturing Chinese finger cuffs. To no surprise it grew into a multi-billion dollar empire, as he became the sole supplier of Chinese finger cuffs to the world.
Boon had truly made it. Everything he touched turned to gold. Once again Boon found himself in the limelight, flying around the globe in his private jet "Finger Force 1", giving lectures at prestigious universities on finger cuffs. Even appearing of the cover of Finger Cuff Weekly while giving the finger.
But once again, tragedy struck. One cold December night would change his life forever. Sitting at home alone, Boon attempted to perform the most dangerous and often fatal of all finger cuff maneuvers, the "Stucky Stucky You Won't Be So Lucky", where one inserts all ten fingers into the finger cuff simultaneously. Even an escape artist such as Houdini could not withstand the finger cuff's mighty hold. Two days later, Boon's fingers had to be amputated and all his dreams and hopes became like the stubs on his hands that had no fingers and were stubs. Then he became a web designer.
