Thanks Dave. I'm all wanging and chunging.

Ha! That was my first FIRST post! That was awesome! I was moving so fast I didn't even get time to finish my name! I was like some kind of mythic posting creature conjured up specifically to post first before all mortals! Okay, maybe I went a little far there. Sorry.

Hmm. Isn't that Maury Povich's theme song?

Bob and/or Doug, calm down a little. Have a drink.
Red red wine.
You make me feel so fine.

Every night ... and you know why?
I'm so glad,

I'm glad, I'm glad, I'm glad
I'm so glad,
I'm so glad,
I'm glad, I'm glad, I'm glad

Neener, that comment as to who I am just proves how little sophmoric humor you have. I challenge anyone to explain what my name means. Yes it is possible, it is from a show and feature-length movie. And I am sorry for frothing all over my post, I was high on a First post, which WAS sweet.
Posted by: BobNDougFan | June 21, 2005 at 08:34 AM
I feel compelled to ask some questions:
Why must we have fun only tonight?
More importantly, why must we wang our chung tonight?
Does wanging of ones chung imply that one will have fun?
Posted by: SteveB | June 21, 2005 at 08:34 AM
We can dance if we want to, we can leave your friends behind. 'Cause your friends don’t dance and if they don’t dance, well, they’re no friends of mine.

Bob/doug, it's not that obscure...
On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me... a beer.

But it FEELS obscure, Leetie. And I would be more of a Doug, BTW. I am knowledgable about hooking up stereos and starting a vehicle with spit and bird poo.

Again, I refer to the Starbucks. The result is a normal lack of senaptic function, but now at warp speed. I did catch one person who didn't know, though. To all Bob and Doug Fans, I appologize for my freakish belief that I was the only one who had seen that awesome movie that should be an integral part of the high school sylabus. Please forgive me.

Reminds me of a hilarious scene from Cheers - Frazier is at his bachelor party in the back room of Cheers:
Frasier Crane: You know, on the way over, I decided to listen to a rock station to get into the mood. And I heard a line in one of those tribal passages that I thought was the keynote for this evening. "Everybody have fun tonight. Everybody Wang Chung tonight.
Posted by: Drew | June 21, 2005 at 10:08 AM
I am proud of the commentors that nobody yet has made a sophomoric comment in which "wang chung" was reversed to the phrase "chunging the wang," which could of course be a euphamisim for "mulleting the David," or "answering one's banana-phone."
Oh. Guess I just broke the steak, huh...
Posted by: gfunksizzle | June 21, 2005 at 10:17 AM
i like broken steak with BBQ sauce.

If you can break a steak, it's overcooked.
Posted by: �LabSpecimen� | June 21, 2005 at 10:35 AM
gfunksizzle,
first of all, awesome name. Wish I had thought of it, but alas I'm enamored with Canadians. Second, what is the exact procedure for "breaking a steak?" I would assume a freezer and a bodybuilder were involved, but I can't make the math work out.
Posted by: BobNDougFan | June 21, 2005 at 10:35 AM
God, I just love that we're such an autonomous collective!
Posted by: jamester | June 21, 2005 at 10:46 AM
Dang. and here I thought I would finally find out what "wang chung" was secret code for without having to reveal my ignorance in the matter. All my life everybody has been wang chunging and I've just been sitting at home asking my cat "What does it mean???"

Okay, the Klingon Macarena was deeply disturbing, and not just because I had to listen to that stupid song again.*can't stop laughing* As to breaking a steak, get one from my old high school dining hall and drop it. *crash*
Splintered steak bits!
Posted by: Desert Rose | June 21, 2005 at 10:59 AM
Ah, that makes more sense than my idea. I was sure it needed a high-quality steak, powerful freezer, and doped-up strongman. Now I see all I needed was a really poor quality steak. Now the equations work out. Thanks DS

Cynthia, thank you very much for the Klingon Macarena. I enjoyed it very much and would have fallen out of my chair laughing except that I'm at the office and do not wish to draw attention to my clandestine computer activities. I feel sure that surf control will prevent me from trying to see it again.

Remember, as a follow-up Wang Chung later penned "Kung Fu Fighting"? That way if you didn't get or didn't know how to Wang Chung at least you could go off and study Kung Fu instead... because Kung Fu at least has an identifiable history of being, um, real.
Posted by: M.C. | June 21, 2005 at 12:32 PM
*is Dazed and Confused by that last remark*
Is it just me, or does the expression "blogged" sound like some sort of unpleasant, not mention untidy, bodily function?
"Oh, great. The jackalope's just blogged on the carpeting again."

Posted by: happyface! | June 21, 2005 at 10:24 PM
So, WTF happened to my witty, charming, erudite and hilarious post in answer to the burning (midnite oil) question get abducted off to?
I've free high-speed at this new hotel, and it's sorta angrifying me ... it's worth about what I paid for it ... eats posts ... won't open pages from whence I just linked or posted, drops the connection and hafta start over from square two ...
NEway, Josh, not exactly ... up late even tho I started @ 0-dark-hundred ... long drive here to SLC, and then a rental mixup (how does one actually rent a vehicle over the 'net? I thot I did, but they din't have the truck ready for me, 'cuz they said it was just a quote-quote-unquote ...
I get to sleep in tomorrow (Wednesday) and then thumb-twiddle until help arrives to load stuff for the broken-armed guy, then early to bed for 0-dark-minus-30 start of an 11-hour drive back ... such is the good life of the pious itinerant ...
Besides which already, this "free high-speed internet" at the new hotel/residence is worth just what I paid for it ... eats posts, drops connection to browser, slower than dialup ... what a miserable (insert 11-, 12-, 13- and 14-letter adjectives here) example of a 'net connection !!!

Posted by: Desert Rose | June 21, 2005 at 10:59 PM
This is what I get for having an evening side-job with no internet access. Gotta catch up on all the fun at once, when y'all are asleep.
1) Erm, alanboss, that lyric is actually: "How can we dance when our Earth is turning..." When the room is turning, that's our cue that the party is over, or the club is closing. In either case, call a cab. And quit trying to dance to Midnught Oil, whatever that is.
2) BobNDougFan, congrats on your first first, and sorry I got home from work too (not "to") late to (not "two") get a more timely "Five GOLDen TOOOUQUES" into the fray.
3) Aunt Nancy, put your hands on your hips and bring your knees in tight -- I'm right there with you! "Two, four, six eight, show us how you..." Actually, disregard that. I'm too (not "2") newbie here for such an honor. But if that day ever arrives (har!), I sincerely hope there's whirled music involved.
4) Desert Rose: I'd love a Tangerine about now. But I've been at my airport job dealing with too many passengers coming home on a Night Flight, one of whom (I am not making this up) had a license plate frame identifying him as "The Rover". So I'm too tired to do the Misty Mountain Hop, but I might be persuaded to Boogie With Stu. Provided that I can extend that to "Boogie with Stupendous Redhead/Blonde/Brunette".
For the record I have no desire to boogie with Stu Nahan, for all the "Fast Times..." fans in da blog.
And that's all I have to say about that.
