Case in point, his most recent stint on SNL, where he plays one of Beyonce’s backup dancers. I dare you not to laugh when he says, “We’re the dancers.”

But, you know, I kinda feel bad laughing. I mean, Geneva and Kyle looked so dadgum happy standing there amongst their camo wedding party. But, pink rifles and snakes and boodwhar parties and nipple clamps and camo toes….oh my. I’m feeling ‘boobed’ myself.

Try out some down-home voyeurism yerself. CMT airs My Big Redneck Wedding Friday at 9PM. Check your local listings.

Check out the wedding photo album. | Boobed and Bottle-rocketed video.

A local boy who recently graduated from the Air Force Academy found himself a celebrity when his friend videotaped him dancing to C+C Music Factory’s “Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)”. Now he’s The Dancing Cadet. And there’s Numa Numa Gary. And the Star Wars kid.

Although not a voyeuristic video, enjoy an old, but little known personal favorite, B Benny and Steve Flo and the jocks at St. Francis High School (video below).

Oh man…my daughter better not post the cameraphone video of me doing the jump-kick from the Berries and Cream commercial. I will so kill her. And probably become famous, too.

Yeah, okay. If you make it through the whole thing without laughing, I’ll eat my blog.

edited to add: You know, I like her vocals better than Fergie’s. No, really. They’re shiver-inducing, in an I-can’t-believe-I’m-taking-this-seriously kind of way.

65 % Nerd, 60% Geek, 47% Dork For The Record:

A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia.
A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one.
A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions.

You scored better than half in Nerd and Geek, earning you the title of: Modern, Cool Nerd.

Nerds didn’t use to be cool, but in the 90’s that all changed. It used to be that, if you were a computer expert, you had to wear plaid or a pocket protector or suspenders or something that announced to the world that you couldn’t quite fit in. Not anymore. Now, the intelligent and geeky have eked out for themselves a modicum of respect at the very least, and “geek is chic.” The Modern, Cool Nerd is intelligent, knowledgable and always the person to call in a crisis (needing computer advice/an arcane bit of trivia knowledge). They are the one you want as your lifeline in Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (or the one up there, winning the million bucks)!

Congratulations!
