1996?

I just ran through the list of stuff on eBay that Brit-Brit donated to to be auctioned off. At first I was thinking, "While I know there's going to be a lot of crap on here (i.e. the infamous flip-flops) she may have some cool stuff too." I thought maybe she gave stuff like the sock glove from the SuperBowl halftime show with Aerosmith and 'N Sync, the god-awful all denim dress, the shirt she was wearing when she boned Mr. Farrel, her cute and short lacey dress she wore that one time (for high end items), or even the red latex suit from "Oops! . . ."

Nope. The only thing that got me a little excited was that she gave away her "I have the Golden Ticket" shirt, but it's not even the real one. It's burgundy and autographed. Fuck that. Check it out for yourself. Maybe you won't be as disappointed as I was.

Last night Aut, Rod, and myself went to the Harmar Tavern where we saw Opie. From there the four of us went down to Front Street to the Double L. Woo. It was alright, that is, until they whipped out the Electric Slide.

So totally my favorite line dance song, hands down. (Not that it has much competition.)

I started to wonder when it was that I actually learned how to do it. Truth be told, I'm not even sure how far it dates back. Is far as I'm concerned it's always been a constant.

Well, I decided to do some research. . .

Research is not proving easy. It appears that it was performed by 20 Fingers and Dance Factor and released in 1996. I kept thinking it was older than that. That really bothers me because I thought maybe I'd learned it when I was like 10 or something. Hmm. . . Looks like it was also performed by those that brought us Short Dick Man.

Why is this all new to me? Did everyone else know about this and not me? So lost.
