Over the weekend, we visited my aunt and uncle in Denver. My cousin, Anthony, was also home from college. Turns out they’re all hooked on Dance Dance Revolution! You all know the game: Loud music, flashing lights, little arrows on the screen tell your feet where to go. I remember first seeing it at Gameworks four years ago. Any schmo can look like a top rated dancer with a few hours of practice on DDR.
Question: Is Having A Dance Minor At All Relevant? NO! In fact, I was way too calculated with my dancing:


Josh is so tall, I cut part of his head off trying to take a picture of him Dance Dancin’.

Me and Anthony.

Josh! You sell out! You’re wearing your shirt “Silence of the Lambs” style. Tucked in. Way to go Buffalo Bill.

Yeah!! DDR!! It’s pretty fun, but yeah, it doesn’t give you any edge to be one of us dancer-types. T.T
You should try finger DDR: http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/index.php

I’m sure you did better at that game than I did, Mara… I played like a six year old with a bleeding headwound

Hey, BACK OFF, Ryan! I made him tuck his shirt in….

Duh, RYAN, have you ever even PLAYED DDR?! Obviously not, if your shirt is untucked it could cause a serious injury, IDIOT. You have to keep everything right where it belongs, that’s why I have endorsed the DDR jockstrap. It pumps out sweet tokyo-techno beats whenever it sees daylight. “ZZzzzzzip… ooohn-cha ooohn-cha ooohn-cha”

Hey, if Ryan gets to post comments so do I. Now that we’re not banned - Josh, you look like a typical white boy - dancing standing straight, not moving your feet and just twirling your hands. Nice fists though - looks like you’ve been practicing.

Man, I remember when these blog comments used to be about the music. Things changed man. Things changed.

Chris and Ryan, you kids are undergoing a probationary period…so far so good. (You made me laugh out loud).

You banned people from the weblog comments? After I gave you FREE server space and bandwidth, you had the gall to restrict others from what you never really owned? I’m shocked. Appalled, really.
Oh yeah, I suck at DDR. I hear the kids are exercisin’ with it, though.
And your cousin looks like he should be on the O.C.

I, of course, completely love DDR. Although little kids at the arcade regularly kick my ass.

Convicts REPRESENT!! Soooo, the truth comes out Mara! You can’t keep a brutha down! Not like Josh. He can keep a brutha down.

If you like DDR then you people should try Donkey Konga - it’s dope. That’s how we do it on the West Side…This makes two harmless, and relevant, postings in a row - Mara, am I off probation now?

I DDR for my gluts, but DKonga for my biceps. It’s a full body workout, you see.

Kris, the O.C. would be LUCKY to have Mara’s cousin. They’ve never seen a super-hip teenager like him before. Besides, he’s too busy with his Ivy-league scholarship to bother with Hollywood. Sorry, O.C.
