Word got out at my high school that I can do the entire Napolean Dynamite dance. Not that I care for Napolean Dynamite anyway - I neither love it nore hate it.
The point is, someone asked me to. So I told 'em I would, figuring "What the hey". I did it at lunch on Tuesday, right outside the cafeteria. I had my eyes closed the entire time, to mimic Napolean's squinting face. The whole time all I heard was "Bah, this foo's crazy! Dis foo's cold!!" in the familiar verbiage of an average American teenager. When I opened my eyes to run off, I didn't notice the crowd that had gathered. All of you who go to public school, you understand - when there's a fight, everyone who's aware runs to watch it, then everyone who sees people running follows them. My friend told me afterward it was the same exact way.
So I gathered a bit of publicity as it were and several people asked me to do it again, which I declined every time. I realized it would just get old fast and be one of those things that was funny the first time. That is, until someone offered me 10 dollars if I would let them videotape me doing it in the cafeteria. In the wise words of Napolean himself, "Heck yes!".
So that's what I'm doing tomorrow.
