Later days

UFC and I were bored so we decided to do a couple of searches on YouTube. The one that yield the best results was when we searched using the word "dance." Here's what we learned:
1. Young teenage girls are most likely to post dances they did at a sleepover on YouTube for some reason. These clips are often very silly but at least I know now why girls seem to know how to dance slightly better than men (I wasn't dancing at any of the sleepovers I went to as a young teenager).
2. I would totally do this search again because it lead to a good ten minutes of fun. I don't feel bad about laughing at these videos because they're mostly harmless and I honsetly believe that people involved probably thought it was a good idea to post the video on the internet. But that's just my rationalization.

EDIT: I tried both "boys" and "girls". The search of "boys" had lots of dancing, but four links into the "girls" search brought up girl fighting. No porn. Just fighting (is fighting the new porn?). It's violent. I'm kind of in shock. I'm never getting into a fight with a girl. They fight dirty (or at least that's what I've learned from these clips).

In a sad note, I've decided to stop reading one of my friend's blogs because everytime I read it I get paranoid that the post is about me. Yeah, I'm that egoistical. What can I say?

Another track off that compilation: Lou Barlow - Blown Pony

And finally, here's something to think about: Is there a difference between "funny sexy" and "sexy funny"?

1) Sexy funny vs 2) funny sexy: I'd say there's a difference.

In 1), 'sexy' is modifying 'funny' (yes, yes, stating the obvious). So, your base here would be something that is funny, but is being modified by the actor (deliberately or not) to contain some aspects of sexiness. I'd say the main concept here is of funniness, with the 'sexiness' enhancing it or as a secondary attribute.

in 2), sexy is the base thing, which is modified (probably unwittingly) to contain aspects of funniness.

I think that both terms could overlap to an extent--I think they're both gradeable (there's no positive or negative limit on either sexy or funny), so there's probably a subjective point at which both terms mean the same thing.

Erm. Brain not switched on, so excuse my terribly shitty analysis.

But I still say there's a difference, which remains even if I am an inarticulate git. :)
