I saw a fursuit video of it and it creeped me the fuck out!

Same, although fursuits in general creep me out

Oh I've already seen that, still freaky to see those soulless eyes stare at you

S'kind of like walking in on your parents, innit? Maybe if you walked in on them dressed as the Marx Brothers in an orgy with the mailman and your school janitor... *head tilts* ...or if you watched any portion of that third "Neverending Story" movie. *shudders* Woooof....

I never saw the third...I think Johnathin Brandis was in the second.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVlddH1NbJM unf unf unf lol

That's pretty fucking awful, love. *tches* You know, I saw a link to this same video on somebody's journal thingie a few days back... This, coupled with looking through the other journals accumulated over a week of not being here, led me to my new inescapable conclusion.

*ahem*

"For me, going through people's journals on FA is much like sifting through a litterbox with my bare hands. I know there's a point to what I'm doing, and occasionally I find something solid, but within seconds of starting I pause to ask myself- why the hell am I doing this? Surely there's a more efficient, less messy way to clear this mess out." ...and then I just hit the "nuke" button and try to forget everything I just saw.

Whats funny though they are a popufur.....And you just made me laugh with the comparison.

I desperately yearn for More Skunkubus comics :>

And I yearn for-

Awwwwww.... *smiles* You're being sweet.

:p <3

Dear god yes...the amount of Harlem Shit videos is goddamn out of control...

You know... *sets her chin* I do believe I prefer "Harlem Shit" for the monicker. *smiles* Thank you, love.

The intro itself is just obnoxious as fuck. I'll go onto a certain youtube page with a featured video on autoplay. RIP speakers.

Oh love... *removes her hat* I'm sorry.

Thankfully, the last time that happened to me was some group of... I think they were basketball players or something... I dunno. The token white guy started the thing off doing what I can only assume was an imitation of Koko B Ware, which gave me enough warning to get past my initial confusion and que up the video I was trying to watch in the first damn place.

Poor speakers... I'm sorry for your loss.

My work is wanting me to host and edit a Harlem Shake video... T_T

You poor bastard.

*holds her holy writ on high* Resist the tempters, childe of Balthazar! They shall try to lead you astray, to the side of he who shall not be named... for he is stupid... and dumb... and dumb... *sighs* and stupid.

Very dumb. -_-
I just got handed a booklet teaching me how to get kids to take a 30 minute survey. Apparently my boss wants me to go through it step by step with the wee ones to make sure no bad answers are given. D:

Wait... wha? *rubs her temples* I'm... I'm at a loss.

Did I confuse you or is something else going on? >.<

No no, love. S'just my unending bafflement at how we've seem to come to spoon-feed people, children specifically, information... almost like trying to idiot-proof their lives for them.

RIGHT?! Whatever happened to letting people say and think what they want? I refused to do that and told my boss if she wanted it done so badly that she could do it. I wouldn't be involved in something that went against something that I believe in.

*applauds loudly and slowly for genuine praise of fortitude*

Good show, love. Good show.

run away man. Run Away! Thou shall not embarrass yourself with this video craze! Just look here and remember the words at the end. Trust me it will help you: http://youtu.be/C4ZxszoeCiU

As I sit here at work, I tale solace in the fact that I've never seen one Harlem Shake video (or heard any music that is traditionally associated with it). I seriously haven't the faintest clue what it even looks like. I didn't do this on purpose, such videos have just never really crossed my path.

What I'm saying is, I'm better than the rest of you. So there.

It's basically just a bunch of retards lazing around in a room for a moment, then when the "music" picks up they start flailing around like they've been set on fire. That's the mental image I like to project onto them whenever I see the videos, anyways.

You have now given me a wonderful image, love. *curtsies* For this, I thank you. I may have to try watching one more of those awful things imagining with all my Muppet Babies power that they're all flailing like A terrified Beaker because of the alcohol flames...

That last statement does coincide with my previous statements on the whole "Friendship is Magick" issue *chuckles* but I digress...

As to the "Harlem Shit" issue, all I shall say is keep up the good work, love. From what I've seen, you ain't missing anything.

I've heard of this but never seen it. Although I heard a rumor they may do one at the next Wrestlemania. Even without ever seeing it I thought "Oh no guys...it'll be old news come April, don't embarrass yourselves more than you already do."

Although after typing that first part, my sister insisted that I see it (we both saw it for the first time just now) so I could understand how pointless it is. I do really wonder why this of all things is viral. Gangnam Style I can see why you'd pass it around but...this just some guys in a room.

Anyway, I highly agree with the point here. People's herd mentality is always so hard for me to fathom. Who feels good doing all the same things as everyone else? It's how I feel about these mass-produced icons you see around here. "Haha! A two frame animation of thrusting? That's SO me!" Being generic has never been more popular, not even in the days when everyone had to be a Christian. Of course, the internet glorifies that which requires the least amount of thought. That's why we all type and spell like morons while saying all the exact same things.

People always call me arrogant and elitist...well what thinking person WOULDN'T be in today's society? We're such a rare breed, after all.

O Butyoor B N a H8R! ...I think that's how the little wankstains type that sort of thing... *snofts* You know, how anyone who dislikes their hobbies or disagrees with their opinion is somehow just a jealous or cynical meanie-head... or something.

When I first saw the video, actually watched it, I thought, roughly "Okay... and... what was so great about this it has to be done over and over again by everyone and their hetero-life partner?" And I have yet to see anything to change my initial assessment.

You and I share many opinions love, and this one seems to resonate roughly the same again.

On your last point though, you reminded me of one story from the Xmen comics of the Claremont era, a two-parter "The War of Asgard". If I may- There's that little nuance wherein Loki offers humanity a fountain of light which will grant any human who touches it superhuman abilities. With this he hopes to be forgiven for his *ahem* "misdeeds" and be allowed to join the ruling caste of Asgard. However, a few of the heroes are wary of it(imagine that) and discover the source of the light is the drained spark of creativity, the personal magick inherit to humanity apparently. And thus the conflict arises, surrender your imagination for superpowers, humans...?

In a roundabout way, it's just such a parallel for what I see in society more and more as I go along. "Oo boy! Look at all those cool people doing that neat thing! I want to be neat and cool too! ...just... like... everyone... else." Whatever happened to the Saturday morning cartoons telling us to be our own persons and not jump off of a bridge just to fit in with a group? Did I sleep through some sort of ceremony where personal creativity and integrity of spirit were declared improper and abominable or something?

Fuck me...

Well I dunno, were you awake when Myspace was launched?

You know, I don't think so. *neck cricks* It was a few years after the fact I was forced to get a damned page by my roommates.

Yeah yeah, everyone blames the room mates...although I technically had a page because a little friend of mine bothered me into getting one so I could leave her a comment or something. I was still young enough to let these things happen, but it was largely blank with only a few sentences of insults towards the site and its users. And I never figured out how to leave the comment anyway.

But I never had a Facebook which makes me better than the entire Internet.

Well, *nods* true enough, however weak it is, I do get the excuse of I was having sex with that roommate at the time and just caving made things much more livable for a time. *chuckles* It was fun enough occasionally, I suppose, and it did push me to actually learn a bit about this... Com-pyoo-tor thing the kids seem to play with so damn much these days.

Never had a... you know, I think that Randomdragon fellow said the same thing.

Those same cartoons about being yourself moved to cable where herds of mindless sheep flocked to it. Then they turned it into the cookie cutter, "look at me, im popular" meme it is now. Which spread across the globe to everyone and their aunt in the 3rd world.

Its not really a circle of life. More like a sci-fi blob outline.

I have to admit, the first time I saw the Harlem Shake which was the Norway Military, I chucked. But after I noticed that this shake was everywhere, I lowered my head in shame.


There should be a new fad, called Router Shake. Its where you shake your router up, only to suddenly jump on it and smash it to pieces.


Then not buy another one. Getting rid of these sort of people.

I believe you may be onto something there, love. *snerks* Give 'er a go and record it. If you post it on youtube, you may just start a trend... oop- that's not what the kids call it these days, is it? It's a ..."Meme" ... *coughs*

Oh gods... that made me hack up something....

But if it ends up freeing the genepool from some of the enemas-waste, hell, I'll chip in on your new router.

My router? Nah, I'll get some poor sucker to do it for me. I need my internet to keep track of these comics.

No one reads contracts these days, do they? Surely I'll just slip in that I'm not reliable for their stupidity and ability to try and be internet famous that they do the most stupidest shit.

Bingo! I believe that's somewhere in Bender's code of ill-gotten gains, "Always have a chump handy". *snickers*

I'm really wanting to see somebody start a fad on the internet wherein they drop cyanide capsules or something. *eyes go wide* You know damn well some brain dead little simpletons out there will do it, probably even have friends that'll record it for them and then make some terrible dub-step remix of their choking and spasming... *chuckles* Which might actually be fairly entertaining.

You pay them $20 of so, they'd probably do it for internet fame. Regardless of how much their heart is beating by the end of it.

Sometimes my bf picks on me for not jumping on bandwagons of anything, and the fact that i never know what the latest fad is until it dies out and THEN I check it out. [ok he's not That bad at all. ^^] Exspecially internet things. I've still never heard the song Friday by Rebecca Black, and only just recently did I listen to [and like] Gangman Style. [and a few of it's parodies.]

Even after 20 years, I Still like the Macorana [sp?] oh and that other internet song..Chakaron I think it was? I'm 40 years old, I can't be bothered to keep up with what is new. And god knows if it's something overplayed, overhyped over anything I'll avoid it like the plague until it dies down. and Then I will check it out.

Am I making a point? Nah I doubt it. I kinda lost that the moment I started typing ^^ Just felt like babbling something out.
Though it is true, I avoid most anything popular until it dies down. And then a lot of times it becomes my favorite thing. [which could be annoying for others ^^]

Mmkay... *eyes* MMkay... That sounds good Ms. McCormick....

Sorry, I felt a lil' Counselor Mackie in me just then, some reason. *shrugs* Anypoop, this is yet another thing I can count in the "Saw it. Thought it was cute enough... the first time. Not so cute the eighty-sixth or two-hundred fifty-fourth, and certainly not interesting or cute enough to have merited either of those play-throughs" camp of things.

I will never forget the memory of how it made me feel to be working on an assignment for a professor in my dormroom late one evenin- OKAY I was sitting up getting drunk with a young lady- and the TV showed me some manner of scene in which my nations leader, the president of this country was dancing the Macarena, the un-official goofy white people dance.... and this was "cool".

*sighs, shakes her head* Years later it still makes me feel they owe me for ruining a perfectly good buzz.

Needless to say, I'm glad for your enjoyment of things love, e'en if I'm not going to be sharing it. *chuckles* But sweethearts like you should be happy.

Awww and evil sweethearts like you should be happy too ^_____^

I think in the end the point i was making is that most anything is fine to like but when it starts being over done and shoved into faces of the masses ALL the Freaking Time! Some of us are gonna loath it and plan it's untimely demise in the most gruesome way possible.

and not likeing something, or being on the bandwagon of something doesn't make anyone less cool, hip, popular or what have you. it just shows that yeah, we ARE unique. and dammit it's ok to show it. ^_^ mew!

yes yes yes yes. Hey guys no one has EVER thought to do the funny dance in fursuit, it'll be so clever and funny! "Funny dance in fursuits #378 Funny dance video #1234839".

Sing it with me kids, like you're the announcer from Killer Instinct-

You are Co-co-co-CORRECT SIR! Because it's always so entertaining and original whene'er fursuiters do the exact same thing as every other no-talent lackwit on the internet... *big eyed faux smile* Buuuuuut in fursuuuuit! *jazz hands*

Ehh.. just let em have their fun while it lasts I suppose.

Couldn't stop 'em even if I tried. *laughs*

But momma always said, stupid is as stupid does... *cackles madly*

You'll probably hate me for this, but I had one random idea pop into my head.
It starts out like a normal harlem shake video, but at the "drop" of it. The song changes to Gangnam Style, at the "eyyy sexy lady" part.
And when he sings Op op op opop oppa gangstyle" a part of party rock plays and a few people do the shuffle, and then go back to the gangem style dance.
Does it for two sets of Oppa's and ends with the slowmo and the ending noise of the harlem shake video.

"lets do it in fursuits!"

Oh god, please don't give them more ideas...

I wish I could somehow stop them love... sometimes, I do. But I'm sure it's already been done at least a few dozen times... probably another time or two in the time it took me to type out this reply.

Maybe I can call in to work this eve and just have a day of it, every time my search engine finds a new "Harlem Shake" video I'll have a little drinkie...

"harem shake"?
-put glass on-
Oh..."harlem shake"...

...i don't know what is this but i won't waste my time to search it on internet
Heck,i don't pay my internet to waste it for this! I'll waste it on furaffinity or something else...
...
Well i forgot the good utilities of internet because of internet itself....

Nevertheless, I am certain you would find a more entertaining viewing if you were to search "Harem Shake" *laughs*

Hear Hear!!

I saw only two of those video's and just shook my head. I can think of more dignified ways of looking like a dumbass. Of course you can't call something the "Harlem Shake" without one major problem: You're stomping on the reputation of an entire section of NY known for things that are NOT THIS. And they're not happy with it. Look below for proof.

http://youtu.be/IGH2HEgWppc

Oo- I heard about this! Interesting, isn't it? I'd wondered when I first heard about the "Harlem Shake" and saw just a mass of videos of, barring the occasional exception, small groups of goofy white kids behaving very oddly per social norms. For a dance named after a notoriously tough all-black neighborhood, that just perplexed me and I was very keen on seeing the reaction of the "harlemites" to it...

Now we know!

And knowing is half the battle! ...That is until someone from Harlem gets tired of your shit and just up and shoots you...

No one from Harlem is going to shoot someone doing the "Harlem SHake" in Harlem. For an idea of what may happen, look to Die Hard: With a Vengenance and the almost ass-kicking scene.

I didn't mean literally, love. *chuckles* However, as to the movie, I did enjoy that scene. The movie as a whole was... *waggles fingers* Asi~Asi at best, but there were some decent performances and the practical effects were refreshing to see in a sea of CGI monstrosity.

OMG your faces I love all of them, each panel is full of awesome!

But you know there must be only one winner sooo the Mcnus award goes toooooooo..... first panel!!! *applauses* no really all of them are amazing, you rock!

the bottom-left one is scary, is stabbing my soul with voodoo needles >_<

Keep this up and you may just get me to blushing, Mr Man. *beams* Thank you for the praise, though.

I'm just glad to know if I get one of these ideas and doodle out a comic that either makes somebody think, reconsider what they thought they knew or believed in... or maybe just laughed. Laughter is such a wonderful gift to share, isn't it? And it's so simple a way to show you love people, in a fashion.

Again, thank you, m'dear.

*looks both ways - whispers* By the way, you make Chrissie happy...

Hey! dun blame me, you're the one responsible of making me make you blush, you're the one posting awesome stuff no?, and if not, uhmm * look both ways then flees*


*whispers back* Chrissie happy? oh that's great ^^ she needs to be happy, she's so pretty and kind and lovely.

Hail Satan...thats what all the cool kids will be doing next hun, hide and watch...and know I was "furst"

If carrots were made of sexy, I would bake a cake out of your ass, love. And glaze you up for a Sunday Baccanalian.

So I was riding with Mum to this Thai place in town and I saw someone with an evil Prinny bumper decal sticker on their car. I was all like "ASHLEY!". xD

Oho?! Thai place you say, mdear? *steeples her fingers excitedly* Whereabouts? Do tell, do tell!!

Ah, the Certain Useless Nonsensical Themes of the internet.....

Like planking. >.< I almost took a 2x4 to someone's head when they suggested that to me. (Now THAT'S planking.)

I like the way you think.... *nods, grinning wide*

Planking... oh now that was one of those things I stared at on... I think it was "Eatliver.com" had a photocache of it... and I had to ask a friend "Okay, what the hell is this bullshit?" To which it was explained to me that it was just something funny people did. Now... *snofts* I enjoy just being goofy and dumb. This is good. Anything in the name of a laugh and a smile isn't a bad thing for me... but... *brows furrow* This... this was just... dumb. And it wasn't funny... just... dumb.

Ah-fucking-men!
I bow to your Buddha-like wisdom. Please, favor me with your thoughts on Facebook, Twitter, and the so-called social media.
If ever we meet, I owe you a beer!

Thank you, love. *laughs* If ever we meet, love. I'll be glad to take you up on that offer!

Social media? Oh... that stuff. Honestly? I mean, my serious opinion?

*deep breath* Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, Fuckmestranger.com, whatever... It's all a collective great example of what the grand failing of the internet is. It's a potentially great tool for people to come closer together and share culture, knowledge and break down the barriers of social bullshit, ingrained ignorance and come closer together as one planet and one goddamn species. Unfortunately it's generally just used to post pictures of people's stupid shit and show each other how they have no interest in anything not directly related to themselves. S'fucking embarrassing to watch from the third person perspective. People reducing "friendship" to a matter of interest in similar things, not shared suffering and hardships, sacrifices endured together. Innane mindless garbage, day in and day out as lame, uninteresting people go above and beyond the call of the mundane, posting pictures of the burger they're eating and telling people when they take a dump. "LEET-speak" and pictures of babies riding cats are the order of the day, not...

Okay, I'm on a soap box. Sorry, love. Jack and a beer back, ja?

Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii hate dat dar "NOT" Harlem shake.
































































I still tell Chuck Norris jokes. *trollface*

*chuckles* It's a funny thing for me.

I have never understood the fervor behind the Chuck Norris thing. I just haven't. It's not that I dislike the- well, okay, he was so horrifically bad in "Expendables 2" (Which after the Boom-fuck-wow of the first Expendables almost made me weep in disappointment) his parts could have been played by fucking anyone. He just walked on, fired a shot or two, told one of his own internet meme jokes- anyways... but before that, I just never saw where the whole thing came from. I mean, most people can't even name a movie he was in without hitting IMDB. The immediate go-to is "Enter The Dragon" but he got creamed in that. For a film career, he's far less iconic than Bruse Lee, and barely above Brandon Lee in both quantity of films and how well-remembered they... no, not even that if you count "The Crow"....

I just don't get it.

People want their 5 minutes of Internet fame these days... They want 100+ likes on Facebook, 50,000+ views on youtube, all the tweets, all the upvotes...
Then when the crowds move on... They do it again.
It becomes an addiction to some people. A non-drug addiction.

I'm seriously considering putting in a paper for the study of popular culture addiction. People humiliate themselves for a pat on the head. It is like an attention seeking, but on a world wide scale, as if people think they will become famous from it.

But I will say: This is my favourite of the Harlem Shakes:
http://imgur.com/gallery/s5OKUKO

As I leave for work in quite the dither I hastily scan about my inbox. *snerks* And with this new knowledge gained I have at least the time to say the following...

This is awesome.

You are awesome.

*bows, hat sweeping* Thank you, m'dear.

Always happy to make people happy.

Awesome, another anti-Harlem Shaker!

I hate that shit with a passion I ended up making a very short clip of giving my finger and my thoughts here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWhBxAwMJW8

I have heard it said:

"Brevity is the soul of wit"

And with a single gesture, I believe you summed up my opinion pretty well. Nice, love.

I always enjoy watching you throw your curve balls of humor at these situations. Following fads is ridiculous and this shows its humorously. I'm not sure which panel I prefer though. The prinnies are so funny in each one. Like the one with the sunglasses and the parrot or the one with the DK mask.

*smiles and squeezes* Thank you for your support love. Going forward, I realize I've been FAR too depressed and unfocused of late and if we're really going to push the game and the website, I'll need to maintain focus.

Oo- a kitty...

Anyways... I'm glad you enjoyed the prinnies. Also, I'm surprised. Maybe I shouldn't be, but so far going through the comments, noone has said anything about Koko B. Ware. S' appalling, that's what it is.

I'm sorry about the depression, I need to help more with that. It would be great to finally get the site for you as we need more ways to share your creativity.

The kitty was great.

I always enjoy your prinnies and character designs. Who is Koko B. Ware?

Koko B. Ware was a wrestler, "The Bird Man". I'm sure if you searched youtube you could find any number of videos on the fellow. He was of the last generation of smiling good guys in wrestling, a bygone breed, I'm afraid.

An actual good guy in wrestling in stead of simply a less bad guy? I'd like that, it seems people want only these sort of sinecal people and characters. I'd enjoy the fact that even though there is all these other people in wrestling he can still be a good guy. But the assholes sell better it seems. Or maybe we should have more characters like Adama, strong and to the point but knows how to let off the rains some to get the best results.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEGbjR1Y9Qo

This sums up my argument!

Also i have never kept up with the new meme fads.. mind you the "Surprise trust exercise" was an amusing one and i will admit i've done that for the laughs but it is SOOOO easy just to feign ignorance and watch people flip the hell out even if you are truly ignorant than you get them to do it all in public and snicker as they make an idiot of them selves.. ahhh Se bon

The only time i "do the harlem shake" is when i'm holding an infant pony.

That sounds like a pretty good personal rule, love. *thumbs up* Geddown witcher bad self, there. *smiles*

My entire company did a "harlem shake" video with over 100 people participating. O.o

Great googily moogily...

I just got that same feeling that one day I was sitting on the castle in the park and I saw this pair of ribbon snakes in flagrante delecto... S'like something's going on and I don't belong where I am... *shivers*
