Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Is that the kid who was hip-hopping with his (too young to audition) brother?

Yes, that's who I meant. He said they were the youngest two out of like 14 kids or something crazy.

Well, when he said that, and that all their siblings danced, I assumed they were members of the Mormon Dancing Mafia...

Because books.

Bwah!

See, I may *not* be the right audience for this, because I didn't think he did too badly with the choreography, and I was surprised when the judges were like, "Uh, NO."

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I loved those two, even though the dancing wasn't awesome. I know those relationships do happen in a big family like that; my dad had a particular brother, a few years older than him, that really looked out for him, among his ten siblings. They did everything together, so there are some really cute pictures of them together as kids.

Anyway, do you have to be eighteen? So it'd be two years before the younger brother could compete, too?

I don't know for a fact, but imagine that you do have to be 18.

I also like when the judges get especially honest: "You should be in commercials!" "Commercials with dancing!" "Sure, whatever."

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I cannot get enough of Nigel's tweets. He is now apologizing.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

man. I'm not sure I'd be interested in reading anyone on that list except for tyce.

I am reading tiggy's post for what it is: a gentle urge to stop posting comments solely on Nigel's tweets! :-)

ha! not at all! i definitely think Nigel's people told him to back away and apologize for fear of creating a major shitstorm.
