Happy Birthday, Frontalot

Today is MC Frontalot’s 35th birthday, which means he’s 6 days older than me. And he always will be! In honor of that, I give you a series of nerdy dances:

Oh, evil pleasure

If you, like me, have enjoyed watching Sarah Palin squirm when confronted with ‘gotcha’ questions, or were amused by McCain’s obvious discomfort at various moments in the debates, then you have experienced the strange happiness known as schadenfreude.
