They say in the video that it was a breakaway sway pole, meaning that it intentionally falls on its pivot, swinging

I strongly believe that was an intentional part of a trick. It was really impressive, I could hardly believe it's really Al the first time I watched it.

BTW, it's a bit funny you keep posting stuff that 99% of people here saw more than once as if it was breaking news :D . You're going through that exciting phase of fanhood, when there's new exciting things everywhere, like a fan equivalent of childhood : :D


I remember those days of excitedly finding out new weird al info and needing to tell everyone. But this forum has been around for quite a long time(my user name is crazygurl14- Made my account when I was 14, only reason I would possibly use the spelling gurl lol- and I am now 25. Most everyone, except newbies to here and Al fandom in general will pretty much know everything.

But glad you are such an excited new Al fan, welcome to the club! Hope you get to experience Al up close and personal. :mahalo:

I went to the Modern Family event at The Paley Center tonight. They screened an episode, and had a Q&A. One of the creators made a joke about how next season a plot will emerge based on how gay marriage is legal, but gay divorce isn't yet, guest starring Al as Mitch and Cam's divorce lawyer.

That plot may be a joke, but Phil and Luke winning tickets and backstage passes to an Al concert by being the 27th caller to a radio station? That needs to happen.

Wasn't sure where else to put this and I feel like there MIGHT be a bias here, but, uh... is UHF a good movie for a first date?

First of all, I wouldn't go to a guy's house on a first date, might be a creep. Unless of course you know each other for a long time, in which case you should know whether she likes that kind of humour.

Anyway, if I was planning to go on a date in the upcoming week and a guy suggested to see a movie, I'd suggest "Avengers" :gun:

I'm planning that we watch it on our school's campus. My house is not currently in a state that I'd like her to see it in, haha, but yeah I think she'd enjoy it, based on her understanding of my sense of humor.

I did think about taking her to see the new Avengers since she's into Marvel, but I don't have the money at the moment.

You should go for a nice walk and just talk. I'm not a big fan of UHF despite being a rabid fan of Als.

I generally don't think a movie is a good idea for a first date. A first date is about getting to know one another, which you can't do very well if you're sitting there watching a movie. Having said that, however, if you do watch UHF with her and she does like it, you should propose to her on the spot.
