So. Don’t be some Internet snob and scoff at us for posting these. Just enjoy the trip back to memory lane. Oh, and we’re gonna start with a video from So You Think You Can Dance last night… it was incredible, really.. just unbelievably awesome. We’ll be adding more as we remember more.

Stay tuned for the dorky looking guy, he owns.
