Sure, Austin, here they are:

Left, right, left, right, left, left, right, right...

Hmm... this is going to take a long time, and we're worried it won't be that informative. Maybe we should just make a "how to" video.

Hi, I played the wedding thriller dance on a neighbor's incredibly big screen tv at his valentine's day party. I found it as amusing now as I did a year ago when I first saw the video and it was the topic of conversation at the party for a while. Turns out, this is the 25th anniversary of the Thriller album.

Yes, what better video to play at a Valentine's Day party than one that will get all of the women's hopes up? Sure, some men might secretly want to put on their dancing shoes, too, but it's the women who really want to do it, and we all know that Valentine's Day is about what the women want.

Still, we're glad we could entertain your friend's party, Michael. Believe us, if someone would have told us at the reception that people we didn't know would be watching our little wedding dance on their big screen televisions a year-and-a-half later, we would have thought said person was out of his mind.

That said, start watching Inside Edition, because rumor has it the Wedding Thriller Dance will be making a brief appearance on an upcoming episode. It's madness, we tell you! Madness!

For our Engineer's Week party, we are breaking with the traditional gift exchange and going straight for Math Exchange; including but not limited to binary, algebraic, geometric...and even word problems after we've had a few drinks for fun. We've invited all the girls in the office, but strangely enough, they all have plans that day. So, we need to figure out what the odds of that happening were...

No pocket protectors or calculators allowed. We don't want to look like dorks.

For too long, engineers have been taking the brunt of jokes, when really they rule the world. What engineers really need to do is fund a film that makes them look cool and adventurous. For instance, look what this guy has done for archeologists.
