That looks a lot like the finger to me. :lol:

Edited: On second thought, after looking at it in high-definition, it seems to be an optical illusion. Possibly meant to be one, lol.

Strange how well "Amish Paradise" is still doing in Belgium and Greece!

"Eat It" seems to have been rediscovered, too.

"I'm On A Boat" by The Lonely Island. (Basically, one of those Andy Sandberg SNL Digital Short songs, like "[Blank] in a Box")

So a lyrical question...
If the critics really used to say he was the new Olivier, who is one of the most revered actors of the 20th century , then why would his only option be auditioning as a Skipper? And what credentials do the critics who gave phenomenal rave reviews have exactly?
Am I missing something? It seems more like an audience member or two after a show said "DUUUDE, you're gonna be the new Olivier! I know it!" after getting an autograph which Dan is unable to come to terms with.

It doesn't matter who thinks you're the new Olivier, if that person isn't the person casting a play. But clearly inflated estimations of his own worth are part of Dan's problem.
"Weird Al" has a charisma that's all his own. The awkward, the misshapen, the socially inept flock to his banner.

Awesome, Chuck! I really am enjoying hearing this song, both when I play it online, or even when it's stuck in my head!

4 words that Al said to me that blew me away:

"How's Problem Child doing?" - 7/12/11

So awesome!
