Solid Potato Salad

Posted by on Fri, Jan 8, 2010 at 11:01 AM

I have nothing to say about this, except what? WHAT? Was shoddy potato salad a blight on the 1940s? Who knew three sisters could all care about potato salad so much? I wish my siblings and I got along this well. WHAT??? Holy fuck! Was that shown in reverse? Nope, now she's got an apple in her mouth. This is fucking amazing. Has everyone else in the world already seen this? I don't care, I'm posting it anyway. Bravo!

Thank you, Slog tipper Sara.

Yes, everyone has seen this, but it's still amazing.

I believe I saw this on Slog awhile back, actually. Still amazing, though. Aaand, now I'm going to have that song in my head all day. Again.

That's an amazing performance to be sure.

However, it does seem likely that there's a tendency for slog-gers to copy links from the likes of boing-boing, (which posted this yesterday). So is there some grand blog link circle that takes a year or so and then every item comes around again? ("no you fool! it's just pure coincidence that two liberal blogs post the same 1940s contortionist dance routine with hours of one another!") [wink]

Hah, last time this was posted on slog, it was also posted on boingboing. Hm...

If Slog starts using the word 'meme' I'm going to stop reading it altogether. And if I see a single 'steampunk' post, I won't ever pick up another copy of the stranger again. You are warned.

I don't care how often it's been posted. This made my day, and it was kinda shitty up until now. So thanks.

The Chinese acrobats have nothing on us. We did it first, we did it better, and we did it to Broadway show tunes! That's why WE won the war. Take that, Tojo!

Holy shit.

Just think of all the ways you could have sex with these three ladies. (Oh come on, I'm not the only one who had that thought.)

@10 Rule 34 applies. The internet can provide. All hail the internet. No, I'm not posting links.

@5: Too late! It's happened at some point (Charles Muedede was probably the one to use 'meme' at some point in his lovable ramblings, & Paul Constant wrote about a STEAMPUNK reading here in Seattle a month ago.). But just to nail the point home, because comments are *a part of* SLOG: The memetic use of Steampunk symbolism in Neo-Trip-Hop music is a facet of the nostalgic urges for the primacy of the Saturday morning cartoons of the 70s & 80s.

There.

Jesus Christ, David... what are you doing to me? That was so nominally about potato salad, the mind boggles.

I am simultaneously aroused and horrified.

When there are ankles next to your ears, they should NOT BE YOUR OWN ANKLES>>>

OR your sisters crotch in your face either, not after a catchy tune about potato salad..

I feel like some kind of dirty. I just cant describe which kind of dirty after that. jebus.

The human body is amazing, it's a shame so many people thrash their's.

Talk about abs of steel, being doubled jointed and flexible! Holy cow!

Sadly, the youngest sister died in her '30s.

@13 I'm outta here! Wait, have they done a tilt-shift photography post yet? Oh, okay, then I can stay, right? I know what I said sounded final, but I draw the line at tilt-shift. I also draw the line at anatomical knitting and 8-bit arts and crafts. I'll let slog slide until they do that.

But they can't do any MORE steampunk posts, and as long as 'meme' doesn't become a meme around here, maybe I'll stay... oh and 'riotNerd' can't happen either.

There you go slog. Keep your posts out of that realm or you've REALLY lost me.

That's not natural! That said I agree with @10, and I'm thinking of all kinds of unnatural acts.

I think they're singing "Salad, potato salad" not "Solid potato salad."

I will be watching this over and over and over again.

@10, you weren't the only one thinking lovely thoughts.
