She just wants to dance

  There is a certain someone out there who likes to dance. Indeed, her great love of frolicking with wild abandon has led her to declare her wish that she would very much like to appear on the next season of Dancing with the Stars:

    
  
  She asked for people to let ABC know that she should be a contestant, and I felt moved enough to write a few words in favor of her candidacy. This is what I posted: 

Some things in life are destined to belong together. No-one watches Bert or Ernie on their own; instead they crave the whole experience. Bert *and* Ernie. Would Jelly have attained such popularity if it wasn't so enjoyable when in the good company of Peanut Butter? Is it conceivable to imagine the USS Enterprise boldly going anywhere *without* Captain James Tiberius Kirk at the helm?

In life, some things will never achieve their full potential until the exact combination of ingredients is thrown into the cooking pot. Dancing with the Stars is a good show, but it lacks the perfect ingredient that is necessary to elevate it to the status of a *great* show. The perfect ingredient has a name, and that name is Miss Justine Ezarik.

If I only had two words to pass on to those ABC executives who are entrusted with the great responsibility of casting the next season of Dancing with the Stars, then those two words would be 'Be Bold'. If I had three words, then I would go further and say 'Dare to dream!'. And if you were so generous as to permit me four utterances, then I would proclaim the following to the world:

THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX!!!

Dancing with the Stars *is* the box. Miss Justine Ezarik, is not (yet) in that box but she is standing beside it. She is ready. She is willing. She is dreaming the dream, hoping beyond hope, and wishing that her wishes come true.

All of these things - her dreams, hopes, and wishes - are in your wise, and capacious, hands ABC. As the eagle soars from the mountain top, so does the cookie crumble into the milk. Be that eagle. Be that cookie!

Here is an image of the original post as it appeared on ABCs website. There seems to be a new comment in favor of iJustine about every second, so my comment was rapidly bumped off of the front page.

Rival social networking sites that may spell the end of Facebook

1) Farcebook - people recount hilarious episodes of their crazy lives

2) Acebook - Veterans of aerial combat recount their tales of dogfights in the sky

3) Faceliftbook - exactly the same content as facebook, but with a new, younger look

4) Twofacebook - sign up to praise your friends (and then bitch about them when they log off)

5) Plaicebook - where people write their own recipes that feature everyone's favorite fish

6) Facecook - only for people who resemble TV chefs

7) Macebook - people hook up to discuss their experiences with tear gas

8) Faceoffbook - each week two site members pair up to battle to death in unarmed combat

9) Visage de livre - Facebook for French people

10) Face2facebook - people actually leave the computer behind and meet people in real life (not sure if this one will ever catch on)
