A little song, a little dance....

but not any seltzer down my pants.... yet.

Just got back from Wegmans, picking up a few necessaries (okay, mostly some not-so-necessaries) since Eleanor's feeling a little under the weather today. They have the usual Muzak sound system in there, doubtless with the choices deliberately picked to be inobtrusive, insignificant, totally encouraging of the shopping experience.

Or not.

If you're going to include "Puttin' on the Ritz" on that loop, particularly a version with lyrics, you run a serious risk that a slightly insane customer is going to spend his entire time purchasing his eight items by (a) stomping the floor of the pop aisle, and (b) crying out, in perfect harmony, the proper rendering of the verse:

Like thiiiiiisssssss!

At least I didn't get arrested for it.

Unlike, say, this guy:

A large diamond belt buckle worn by an 18-year-old Cheektowaga man while break dancing at a party caused $3,000 worth of gouging damage on some hardwood floors—and left him charged with felony criminal mischief.

Erie County sheriff’s deputies said Ryan T. Baczkiewicz, of Toelsin Road, went to a house party in the Town of Elma while intoxicated and caused the damage during repeated attempts to break dance.

The party was hosted by the homeowner’s daughters. The parent returned home from vacation to find the damage, leading deputies to investigate the crime.

Deputy Daryl DeMari, of the Elma substation, assisted by Cheektowaga police, arrested Baczkiewicz at his home Sunday evening. He’s charged with criminal mischief and criminal trespass, a misdemeanor, according to police reports.

Now THAT's what I like to see- mutual aid among law enforcement agencies trying to solve their most vicious crimes against society.

Maybe if we'd put B-Boy London undercover with Al Qaeda, we would've found Osama by now, just by looking for the diamond scratches on the floor of the cave.

My day's about half over, but the second half doesn't really begin for an hour and will run to well past 8. Seeyas on the other side.

Best. Comedy. Ever. C loves the version by Taco, by the way. We have it on one of our "car CD's," and she loves to sing along.

I was really disappointed that the article did not have a photo of Bling Boy's belt buckle. Perhaps it was blinding to all human eyes.
