I defied my year two teacher by spelling 'gaol' as 'jail'.

This has nothing to do with Americans, but I outaged my grade 3 teacher by spelling 'can't' as 'meow meow'
I'm so proud of that one ;D

Micheal Jackson? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA etc.
Except for that Moonwalk he does! And oh yes, it deserves a capital M, because there is no other. Does anyone know how he does it? I saw a clip of him doing it sideways!! Dear God it looks amazing. My brother reckons its an optical illusion and you push with the opposite foot to that which is actually appearing to move, and just sorta make the "apparently moving" foot roll back.
I might google this one.

The moonwalk is real. I can do it. It's fairly easy the concept actually, but kinda hard to explain via text.  |

Videotape myself moonwalking? Heh, I think not.
but I did find this on the net that sorta explains it:
Shake out your arms and looooooosen up. Stand with your right foot slightly ahead of your left foot, right knee bent, weight on your right toes.
1.Now switch that weight to your left toes, bending your left knee.
2.Maintaining the pressure on your left toes, slide your right foot back. Drop the right heel when it passes the left foot, but keep on sliding until the right foot is comfortably behind you while still flat. Like it so far? Are you leaning forward? Are you moving backward? After all we are working on an illusion here!
3.Bend your right knee so the weight shifts to the right toes.
4.Slide that left foot back, dropping your heel as it passes the right foot. Keep on pushing your left leg back until it's behind you. Comfortable is the operative word here- we don't want any shattered illusions.
If you're back where you started we're in business. Let's do it one more time. Switch your weight onto the left toes and start pushing your right foot back again. Don't forget to drop that heel. Nice and easy, there. All together now! Weight shifts to the right toes, push your left foot back, heel drops and keep on sliding. Got it? Of course not! Did you learn to walk on this planet in just four steps? Read, shift, push and slide until your body finally learns the steps.
If you can read this you're standing too close because you're still holding the instructions. To arms! Try swinging them with each step, or scrunch up your shoulders, hug your sides and move just your hands. Now find yourself a mirror or a store window and try it. Reflect a moment: Did you ever see a moon walkin'? We think you've got it.

This remindes me of The Electric Boogaloo.

I went to see Jamiroquai last week, and Jay Kay was moonwalking (at least I think so...I couldn't see that well, but it sure looked like it.) He was pretty down with it.  |
