This One's a Thriller
Saturday, September 12, 2009 at 12:44AM I am talking to this girl at a bar, and all of a sudden Michael Jackson's "Thriller" comes on.
Girl: OMG I LOVE this song. Hey. You know what they did in Mexico City?
Me: No. What did they do?
Girl: they got 40,000 people in the street dancing along to "Thriller" all in sync.
Me: Oh REALLY?
Girl: Yeah, it was like the most people ever at one time dancing to one song.
Me: Oh yeah.
Girl: OMG yeah. The Mexicans. It was awesome. And they were wearing like these awesome red jumpsuits.
Me: I think you're talking about the Panamanian inmates
Girl: Panamanian, Mexican, they're all the same to me. Whatever.
Me: The world is your fucking oyster isn't it?
Girl: Excuse me?
Me: I said that was an awesome video.
Girl: Oh yeah wasn't it? I wish I could dance like that.
Me: Well take a fucking dance class and do it.
Girl: Nah I'm too fat to move like that.
Me: Then move to fucking Mexico or Panama, get arrested, and be part of the next one. Which would you rather do, be part of a lame company, a lame job in North America where all work sucks monkey balls, or would you rather do something cool and exciting like that.
Girl: You know what, that's not a bad idea. If I could teach English for a year in Peru and sit front row at a U2 concert because my brother met Bono and handed him an extra ticket (I hope to dear Lord she was making that one up), then I can do pretty much anything.
Me: Go right ahead. Be my guest
Girl: Look for me, front and center in that next Mexican video.
Me: Wouldn't miss it for the world.
