It's dancefloordale.com

I never liked Tim & Eric Awesome Show Good Job, but I gave this particular video a shot because Flying Lotus did the music. Wow. It is not safe for anywhere, but damn, it is dripping with the same lysergic erotomania so familiar to WS. You may want to check it out.

What kind of daggy logic is that? Rhymes with 'ache' I could just about understand ('You've got a lot of temporary files in yer cake'), but not that.

I'm not sure that's as bad as a national newspaper referring to people hurling 'epitaphs' at each other.
