Its been eight long years since the boys said wassup to each other. Even with the effects of a down economy and imminent change in the White House, the boys are still able to come together and stay true to what really matters.

I had a feeling the “Wassup” meme was bound to make a comeback, and let me tell you folks, it’s good to be right. Man, is it good!

…although this one is kindof tricky – watch it and see what I mean. The Germans have a word for it: “schadenfreude,” although that’s not the precise sense of the term, which typically involves laughing at the tragedy of others. This video demonstrates a sort of self-deprecating, uniquely American experience, made by Americans. Maybe a more appropriate term is simply bittersweet, with a strong emphasis on the “bitter.”

Props, once again, to John Taplin for the pointer.
