| Wow, I know this guy... ACP has a computer swapmeet every other month in Santa Ana (http://www.acpswapmeet.com/) that I go to at least a few times a year... I never knew he had such an extensive collection of vintage stuff, I figured he was just in the sales end of old computers, not collecting... |

Nice? That would be the best Christmas present in recorded history!
Just think how disappointing every subsequent Christmas day would be...

I think that this , if I'm not mistaken is a dance from the late 80's called the "Cabbage Patch".
Please someone correct me if I'm wrong. The part of the anatomy it's using are the hands lol. |

You must have been too busy playing games to attend to the finer points of your education.

Yeah, that's it... I had a boss one time that would do this along with a 'Yessssss!' whenever something cool went his way... When I saw that smiley the first time, I about died laughing... And then sent it to all my co-workers...  So I stole it and added it to the site... I wonder if I can make a little smiley playing a handheld game...
Although it might be a little more humorous if you don't know what he's doing and are trying to figure it out on your own... 
Just looked up a little history on the 'dance' for those who care:
Discription: Hands clenched in a grasp (usually facing downward), arms extended in front, elbows bent while hands move in a simultaneous counter-clockwise fashion. Usually done under celebratory circumstances.
Origin: Well, it all goes back to the crazy days of the 1987 when a rap group called "Gucci Crew II" had a hit song called "Cabbage Patch." The
song spawned the dance.
Popular partly becuase: The dance routine owes some of its popularity to certain professional football players who adopted it as a celebratory routine. Specifically, San Francisco 49er Jerry Rice is remembered for Cabbage Patchin' in the late 1980s.
More info than you wanted...
