Failville, Population Fail

It has been a pretty quiet week around the GameTime, TBD© offices, what with the Los Angeles Kings' season coming to an end this past night.  The Chief is clearly still in mourning.  Just not himself.  I mean, the "brain trust" is out for the day and he still says he has "things to get done for the end of the month."  Clearly, he is taking this harder than we expected.

And, well, all you people telling the Chief that there are plenty of seats available on the Canucks and/or Sharks' bandwagons are not doing us any favors.  I mean, really, you think the Chief is going throw his support behind the last two teams to eliminate his Kings from playoffs?  The Chief has asked one Ms. Kristen Bell to respond to these offers on his behalf:

That is correct, [censored] you.  Go Preds!

Now, if you have not figured it out by now, we will not be having a full Link Dump again this week.  Yes, that makes two in a row, a losing streak.  But we do, however, have a little story to share regarding an internet sensation that developed right under our noses.  If you head to YouTube and search "double dream hands", you are going to find a series of videos parodying a white guy doing a dance he calls "Double Dream Hands".  Some of you might have already done this and be well aware of what we are talking about.  That man is John Jacobson, and the dance is absolutely real.  How do I know this you ask?  

Well, you may recall that one time the Chief revealed that little secret about him being part of a nationally-ranked show choir back when he was in high school.  But the choir was not just about crushing opponents left and right in competitions across the country.  They also participated in many events for the children in the community, and donated their time to some charities.  One such charity is called America Sings!, which is a non-profit organization that puts on non-competitive choral festivals to help raise food, clothing, and money for disadvantaged children across the country.  Well, American Sings! was founded by a composer, arranger, choreographer, and 2008 Congressional candidate; one John Jacobson.    That is right, my dear readers, your beloved Chief has met, learned choreography from, and performed on stage with Mr. Double Dream Hands himself . . . on several occasions.  So, for your viewing pleasure, we present you two original John Jacobson productions:

• The dance that started it all, the original Double Dream Hands for all of you to learn and love.
• To easy? Well, now you can rock out with Double Dream Feet.  You. Are. Welcome.

The Chief informs us that they always learned the necessary choreography over the course of a sixteen-hour, two-day weekend event with Mr. Jacobson, months before America Sings! came to town.  Pretty much the ideal weekend for your average high school student, right?  Do yourself a favor and check out some of the YouTube parodies, they are pretty solid.  And check out the clips with Ellen Degeneres as well, classic.  But do not think those are the only things we have in store for your viewing enjoyment today.  In addition to Kristen Bell rocking the black-bra-under-white-shirt look (hot, right?), and John Jacobson making you want to stand up and dance in your office or cubicle (hot, right?), we have a few extra nuggets for you:

• I do not know about you, but I always feel good just getting past "ping, pong, rally, on."  So I guess that makes this pretty impressive.
• This interview pretty much confirms everything we expected about Hollywood screenwriters.
• Oh Martin, you will always be Ned Nederlander to me.
• I guarantee you this is not the first time Melanie Collins has been invited to watch someone do their business.
• You can bet the Chief was in need of necessary censorship on Monday night.

We will do our best to get the Chief back in shape by Monday.  In the meantime, have a great weekend everyone!
