Me Against the Music

As we continue to cruise around in our Fiesta, with each successful stick shift being a small personal victory, here is a breakdown of our Top Fiesta-Lovin Music:

1. Call on Me, Eric Prydz...We suggest watching his official music video to understand fully the inspiration behind our own. 'Nuff said.

2. Everybody (Backstreet's Back), Backstreet Boys...During our formative years in the late 90s, we are still ardent fans of, well, anything written by Max Martin (writer of Baby One More Time, Since U Been Gone, etc.). However, this little gem is a particularly fun treasure, as it comes with an excellent dance routine loved by Dorothy and begs the question: Backstreet's back!...wait, who the hell is Backstreet?

3. Womanizer, the legendary Miss Britney Spears...it was the single that officially marked her comeback, but really, was she ever gone? Listening to it, we feel like Superstarrrz. Oh, and p.s. we got your crazy.

4. Poker Face, Lady Gaga...A) We were loving the Gaga a good half year before mainstream America picked it up, and B) We have our own dance to it. We win.

5. I'm Yours, Jason Mraz...Basically, Dorothy loves it, Lauren hates it, Chris particularly enjoys seeing both of their faces when it comes on the radio.

6. Akon...anything and everything.

Fame! Fame! Doin' It For the Fame! Fame! (Celebrity Soul Mates)

Chris...aka Britney "I Got Your Crazy" Spears
They share killer dance moves, a unique ability to lip synch like none other, wear the hottest clothes (or lack thereof), and often leave others wondering "What the hell is wrong with you?" Life is a Circus for these two.

Lauren...aka Howard Stern
Foul-mothed, offensive to many, and not allowed on normal broadcasting networks, Howard Stern and Lauren are genuinely two of a kind. Together, they give "Shock Jock" a whole new meaning.

Brian...aka Celine Dion
Like all middle-aged to post-Menopausal women out there, Brian can't get enough of the crazy Celine Dion can offer. Much like Celine, Brian has crazy eyes, great expressions, and can often frighten small children.

"I Wanna Take a Ride on Your Disco Stick"

So today, Team WeGotYourCrazy had its refresher/intro course to the the stick shift. While Brian and Lauren have had prior experience, I myself am a virgin when it comes to working the stick.

Before I describe the fun details of our lesson, let me first introduce you to our instructor, Dan S. Dan S. is a member of a group of friends on our campus who we affectionately refer to as "The Paps." The Paps - short for Papparazzi - are a particular breed of Lafayetters who for one reason or another are always, and I mean always, around when Lauren, Brian, or I are doing the dumbest shit. Whether its Lauren and Chris celebrating "The New Age Night" or running around in ridiculous outfits or yelling about yet another party, the Paps are never far. So when it came time to learn stick shift, it seemed only natural that we would opt for one of their kind.

So this afternoon, Dan S. - "The Friendly Pap" - picked me up and we drove over to our neighborhood Giant. For the first ten minutes though, I wasn't sure if I had signed up for a driving lesson or a sex how-to; a sampling of instruction from the Friendly Pap: "Easy, easy, right there!, Yeahhh" "Ease her into it," and my personal favorite, "Find your sweet spot!." After a few rocky starts and one minor case of whiplash later, I had Dan's Solara cruising around the parking lot like I freakin' owned the place.

After a short while, Brian arrived, greeting me with a stunned look. "I'm surprised Dan's not curled up in a ball crying and his car's not in multiple pieces!" Yes kids, it's true, Chris knows how to work the stick. The same, however could not be said for Dear Old Dorothy. Grandma, with just the slightest bit of dribble seeping out of the corner of her mouth and flatulence fully in check, nearly whipped Dan's and my heads right off our necks! After five minutes of the Solara earthquake, Dorothy only finally got the car in gear after seeing Lauren arrive and yellling "NOOO!!! NOT HER!" Like I said, Lauren does not like anything Brian likes and Brian really does not like Lauren.

Lauren, too, needed some adjustment time but soon was back in the swing of things. Lauren has the most experience with the manual, as she used to drive her ex-boyfriend's big ol' manly pickup around town...before she was carted off in the paddy wagon, of course. Lauren felt so comfortable, she drove us right out of the parking lot, much to Dan's surprise and...horror.

Can't wait for the next lesson!...although I'm not sure I can say the same for Dan.

Everything You Wanted to Know About Sex but Were Afraid to Ask

Hello Party People!

So we realized that while our collective bio and video did provide some helpful insight into our lifestyle, I would like to take this opportunity to elaborate on the crazy that we're bring.

Brian, The Old Funny One
Brian, at heart, is a post-menopausal woman with Osteoporosis and in desperate need of a catheter bag. Today, he also was having some serious hearing problems that Lauren suspected was the result of the hearing aid being turned up too loudly. We always fear that if we leave Brian - or more correctly, "Dorothy" - alone in the room we will return to one of those "Help! I've fallen and I can't get up" scenes. Brian has a love for snuggies, a hatred for the North, and does not enjoy walking anywhere...without his walker or jazzie scooter. Brian, like all cranky old women, hates children and drools in his sleep. He's no friend to the environment and considers his primary hobby to be torturing pedestrians with grape-tossing.

Lauren, The Smelly Cheesy One
Lauren hails from the "Glorious Hall of White," located in the greater Allentown area. Fun fact about Lauren is she once tried to enter the Miss Teen Pennsylvania contest, only to be denied due to the fact that her only sponsor for the $1,000 entry fee was a nice Arab man at the nearest gas station who gave her $10 every Friday...more like Miss Exxon, but nice try Lauren. Now happily 21, Lauren has formed a "donk" second to none, so voluptuous in its nature that you can literally balance tea cups on it. She eats enough cheese to keep the state of Wisconsin in business and considers belching to be detox for the soul. Lauren does not enjoy underwear or anything labeled "fat free," "organic," or "all natural." Brian often encourages Lauren to increase her hygienic maintenance, notably creating a function for her showering habits: Y = 2K (where Y is the ideal rate of showering and K is the current rate of showering). In short, Lauren does not like anything Brian likes and Brian does not like Lauren.

Chris, The Crazy Egomaniac
To quote his idol, Chris is a true superstar, superstar and he knows what you areee, what you are baby. Chris has broken everything with a battery, including three separate Grand Prixs multiple times, his computer countless times, his cell phones too many times to count, and the computers in the Computer Science wing of his school, temporarily sending a small Asian child into a tizzy of "Blue Screen! Blue Screen!" Neither Pontiac, Best Buy, Verizon, or Lafayette enjoy seeing him pop up on Caller ID. Hailing from Rochester, NY, Chris considers anything below Binghamton to be the South and thinks a really great vacation spot is Toronto. In his spare time - which, in truth, is most of his time - Chris enjoys torturing sales clerks, sipping on Andre with Lady GaGa, and planning his next adventure. We are certain however that the Fiesta can take whatever Chris throws at it. Chris is bringing back the fanny pack people, go get yours at American Apparel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
