The Internet Is A Race

Posted by on Wed, Jun 3, 2009 at 10:26 AM

And we lost. This video has been viewed more than two million times, so you've doubtless seen it already. Because you won the Internet! But I didn't see this until Slog tipper Libby sent me the link a minute ago—a link she got from her 90-year-old grandma.

Is that last move legal?

Who knew that people were sexy in the 1940s?

And coming in behind Dan Savage at the turn, it's Baconcat! Baconcat is pushing hard up Dan's rear, keep going, keep pumping! And at the line, with all other racers crossed, it's Dan! And in last place, it's Baconcat!

The Internet Race has been won by a 90 year old grandmother!

They're all in their 90's and work at Cirque du Soleil now.

Even after seeing this multiple times previously, I remain amazed by these sisters -- by their abilities, by the fact that someone gratuitously put them in a movie for our viewing pleasure and amazement 65 years later, and the fact that they no doubt worked for zillions of hours to hone their bizarre routine.

I can totally do that, too.

Oh, and that may be the most annoying song ever, with a pernicious ability to stay wormed into your brain for days . . .

amazing, here's to hoping that at least one of them passed those genes to some future sisterly trio.

Is this, like, the first year of HUMP?

My spine cries out in horror.

Well, that just created a whole new series of sexual fantasies.

Also, was that a potato salad commercial, or what?

They're cute, flexible as a rubber band, and nail three-part harmony.

*Sigh!* They just don't make 'em like they used to...

I'm eating potato salad right now! Homemade with lots of crunchy celery and cucumber.
I wonder if it is giving me super bending powers?

It made me think of this:

...or possibly a scene from one of the Evil Dead movies.

Thanks a lot. Now I'll never get to sleep.

One of the funniest comment threads I've read in a while.

Oh, and 18 was right. That was pretty fucked up.
