There must really be something funny in the water in Wisconsin because there have been way too many nutty stories lately.

I've never seen the hokey pokey performed like that.

I would have liked to have heard what the reporter said after the camera went off.

Can you see me now? Bad!

Jeff - you think they drink WATER in Wisconsin? Surely you jest. If there's anything funny being added, it's in the beer. Or the beer itself could explain excess wackiness, without additives.

Beertown

Anyone ever see tailgaters behind a news reporter? Or at any sporting or concert event?

Sorry Dave, I am not impressed with this. :)

Unfortunately, we drink WAY better than we dance up here. It gets even worse when we combine the two. Check out video from any wedding in Green Bay, we're all candidates for remedial rhythm classes.

I think it was Dave who wrote many years ago about there being more UFO sightings in Wisconsin than anywhere else.

Coincident??

I THINK...

not?

Wally's got the idea.

Live news just lends itself to the best bloopers out there.

(And, Cheryl? Me, too... Glad it didn't.)

White men can't dance.

that is all

It was their headline that made me *snork* my Diet Sprite. Talk about major breaking news stories!!!

Posted by: Betsy | September 27, 2007 at 04:28 PM

At least it wasn't a man with fuzzy nuts dancing behind the reporter..

Posted by: foggiest notion | September 27, 2007 at 05:47 PM

OMG! Did I really say that? Sorry folks, I've got a H#!! of a bad chest cold so I'm foggier than usual, plus, all my plumbing is backed up and I've been waiting for the plumber for hours.

Neither fuzzy boot dancers nor tailgaters have anything on these dewds.

For some reason, I didn't pay attention to the station name, and for half a second I thought he signed off with, "For F*cks-It news, this is..."

Posted by: Glix | September 27, 2007 at 06:05 PM

Oh no, its the Fuzz!

Posted by: Alfred | September 27, 2007 at 06:29 PM

This one is my favorite of the genre. (Warning: a little bit adult). Forgive me; I may have posted it before.

Posted by: SW | September 27, 2007 at 09:25 PM

LMAO Stevie!! I had seen that before. TOOOOOOO funny!! maybe it was when you posted it before.
