How Fast Are You?

Balkan Beat Box is coming back to the U.S.! These fine people put on a heck of a fun show, and they don’t come to the States nearly often enough. Go see them! http://tinyurl.com/om8v69 #lastories #gig #@9039 W Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA‎ (Key Club)

Something Pandi said this morning reminded me of this, and now I feel compelled to post it here.

Back in the deep dark past¹ of the intarweebs, Stephen over on Live Grenades redid the entire Star Trek episode The Trouble With Tribbles in LOL speak. I advise you to go see it now: LOLTrek on Live Granades.

Message ends.

Omar, his plans for global domination having been stalled for weeks, has constructed a time machine which he will use to travel to the past, and strike blow for the #octopocalypse where humanity least expects it! But first, a beer run.

My cow-orkers have filled my fridge with beer. This is fitting and proper. The weekend begins in 3… 2… 1… #bottomsup #lastories
