Some random housekeeping details:
1) For those who enjoy chatting about All Things Potty Training, and boy, who doesn’t?—I’ll be manning the official Pull-Ups Twitter account tomorrow from 12-12:45 PM. They, like, gave me a password and everything, which seems . . . ill-advised, but I did promise to try and keep the prison slang to a minimum.
2) I’m pretty sure my chances of winning this contest/job thing are exactly nil, but if you wanted to throw a vote my way I’d be super appreciative. Or maybe better yet, go ahead and apply for the gig yourself! I don’t know about you, but I could definitely make use of a $30,000 paycheck.
3) I am completely obsessed with this video and so are the kids. I see no reason to be the only one involuntarily humming the song 24/7 and secretly practicing my hand-dancing moves, so please, enjoy:
We No Speak Americano ft. Cleary & Harding from vepaks on Vimeo.
Knock, knock, thump, thump, thump, slap, slap!
Translation to English: THIS VIDEO HAS CHANGED MY LIFE.
Love the video. And I’ll go vote. :) kim
My girlfriend pointed me in the direction of this video because she does Irish step-dance, and this couple recorded their (Irish) stepping and then played it in synch with their hand movements for the video. How awesome is that?
Also: voted!
If you don’t work “hot lunch” into you poopy twitter feed tomorrow, I’m taking back my vote.
I voted AND I put it on my facebook status. So hopefully some of my facebook friends will fall in love with that picture and vote for you!
Voted and I love that video.
People, I just voted and I was only #420! Get over there and vote!
voted! good luck. And I’ve seen that video, I love it too.
Voted. I love the video. Thanks for sharing!
I am voting for you! And I love the video, even more since after I shared it on FB a few weeks ago, my sister-in-law piped up to tell me that the man & woman in the video are friends of her boyfriend! And I’m FB friends with her boyfriend, so I think that’s maybe only 2 degrees of separation from me, which makes me – weirdly – very, very pleased. Heh.
That video just made my whole day. Thanks!
Already voted for you, good luck!
Voted! Will do so again tomorrow ;) Good luck!
voted today and will do so tomorrow!
I love that video so much – I think our household is responsible for easily 100 views ;^)
I wonder how they advertised for this job? Percussionists? Dancers? Hand-boners?
I voted…goddamn, you are ripped in that picture, woman!
Voted. Hope you win!
VERY cool video!
Ohhh – I forgot about that song… Yolanda Be Cool. Itunes – here I come!
If you lose the job to the girl who loves sparkles, puppies, cupcakes and overly enthusiastic punctuation in her writing I think you should chuck a kettle bell at her. Or show her the Jon Gosselin pictures.
Do you think their fingers are bruised?
The job sounds awesome!! Good luck – you’ve got my vote.
I voted! By the way, I want your arms. The photo in the Sam-e badge makes my arms jealous. But I don’t do CrossFit and have eaten like crap for awhile, so I got a ways to go. But my own version of your arms is my goal!
That job sounds perfect for you…or I guess you are perfect for that job. I voted for you!
Yes, yes all very cool but can you make your EYEBROWS dance?

Also, voted. or tried to. and agree – your arms are like WOW!
I voted for you twice so far! Will vote again every day. I looked at a bunch of the other entries and I think you have a pretty damn good chance of winning. Nobody else has anywhere near the voets you do, at least not that I saw. Go Linda!
Dude. How do you become a professional hand dancer? Do you call it “getting a hand job” when you land a gig? I need to know more! I never see “hand jobs” on Monster.
Voted! You’re awesome.
AWESOME! My two boys are gunna love this. They drum on everything right now so they’re going to toooootally be into this.
Voted. And nice guns girl!
Voted! Fingers x’ed for you!
