Orange County is funny. And it's a classic. Long live Crazy Town. Long live Jack Black. Long Live Orange County.

Taking Out The Trash Isn't In My WHEELHOUSE, Baby

Isn't it just loco how crazy hipster terms like "wheelhouse" quickly find their way into mainstream vernacular? I mean...even Glenn Beck is using it. But enough about Glenn Beck. No seriously: ENOUGH ABOUT GLENN BECK.

Yes, I'm just waiting for Bill Saffire to riff eloquently on the meaning of the word "wheelhouse." Until then, hopefully this definition will suffice.

Short and pithy blog posts. Yeah...that's my wheelhouse, baby.

I've been streaming radio stations through my car's audio system, thanks to my new iPhone and Wunderradio. This morning, while listening to the "Hill Man" Morning Show on WAAF in Worcester, Massachusetts, I unwittingly heard most of the following before realizing it was a spoof...and a good one! This one is in honor of the infamous Beer Summit.

UPDATE: The Onion gets in on the fun.

5 Ways to 'Channel' Michael Jackson for Business Success

With no disrespect intended for those not among us anymore, this Michael Jackson thing doesn't seem to be going away any time soon. Now we're conducting complete investigations into the practices of several doctors -- all at taxpayer expense! This is very draining, and more importantly it's sapping productivity right out of the workplace as brainless zombies like me head to the drool bowl to grab the latest headlines.

So here are five ways to take the best of Michael Jackson and use his unique methodologies to drive success in the workplace.

Business Scenario #1: Your laptop dies.
Your response: Go into your hallway, raise your arms and sobbingly yet loudly utter, "She's out of my life, she's out of my life....and I don't know whether to laugh...or cry!" Then go into your office and quietly dial your helpdesk.

Business Scenario #2: Your boss congratulates you in front of dozens of colleagues in a meeting for a job 'well done!'
Your response: You slowly and deliberately clear your throat and then in your best falsetto shreak out, "I'm bad. I'm bad. I'm bad I'm bad I'm bad I'm bad!" You then go completely silent and look down at your notepad, refusing to make eye contact with anyone. Seriously now, no eye contact!

Business Scenario #3: You are brought in by HR for an alleged violation of the company's Harrassment policies.
Your response: Regardless of the circumstances you defiantly proclaim, "Billie Jean is NOT my lover!" You then storm out of the office, quickly pack up your belongings and rush home. For good.

Business Scenario #4: You and several colleagues need to work until at least midnight to collaborate on a presentation and product demo you must give early the next morning.
Your response: In order to lighten up the mood, at exact five minute increments you belt out, "Cuz this is Thriller! Thriller night!" while doing the moonwalk and that awkward double-clawing maneuver with your two hands. Keep this up for at least three hours.

Business Scenario #5: You're subjected to random criticism on a conference call with several people from around the globe participating.
Your response: Belt out several very frequent and random falsetto squeaks and screams. You may also want to start up a little 'human beat box' riff cupping your hands in front of your mouth to cause additional distraction. If the chorus gets particularly nasty, interweave a few loud, "Come on girl" refrains into the mix. You must also hang up several minutes before the call ends, so everyone can hear the stupid downward crescendo "call dropping" sound effect followed by the canned announcement that states, "This is Michael."

Please let me know how these techniques work out for you. No need to thank me, BTW.

The "This is Why You're Fat" blog is funny. And it gets progressively funnier.

This isn't laugh out loud funny. It's smile wide funny. I'm sure a lot of people shake their heads at this campaign. I do too...affirmatively and with much appreciation.

"My Cousin Vinny" may look dated, but it's a timeless classic. This scene, from 3:15 onwards, is a classic. The stuttering lawyer. Stupendous.
