I need a new tag called 'comedy gold'

Have you ever wondered what would happen if the military joined the Cult of Lady Gaga?

Wonder no longer. The fine men of the 82nd Airborne Division took it upon themselves to cover "Telephone" for your viewing pleasure. While they're stationed overseas. And it's complete with dances and costumes. Improvised costumes (it is the Army).

My only thought apart from stunned disbelief was, "You know, Ray Person would fucking love Gaga. And he'd be pissed that the Army got in there and defiled it." This is so up Ray's alley.

*snort* Too awesome.

I agree.

Between that and the US Air Force Academy covering Tik Tok, I have never felt more patriotic.

[bunnymcfoo.livejournal.com]

I vote that the Corps should cover Bad Romance.

Okay, THAT was fricking awesome. <3

Uhm, I'm pretty sure that the way this works is that I don't ask, and then they're not supposed to tell...

(no, wait, the dancing was bad, so it's okay.)

LOL.

That one guy's tape-and-cellophane version of a typical Lady Gaga costume is *awesomeness*. HEE!

I just saw one with the Air Force Academy. I am so proud of the open-mindedness of the miltary. I can't believe I just said that.

Ha!!!!!!!!!!!! I was going to send this to you today with the subject: I know Ray was involved in this somehow

But then I fell asleep.

thorne_scratch just informed me that the Air Force Academy covered Tik Tok (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awaGFgsHD9A&feature=player_embedded). I AM SO PROUD OF OUR MILITARY!

[no-detective.livejournal.com]

Brb, writing my senator that I'd like all my tax money to go toward THIS TYPE OF THING. Yes.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

That was one fast letter. What do you mean you didn't send it? How else do you explain that the Air Force Academy covered Tik Tok (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awaGFgsHD9A&feature=player_embedded)? I AM SO PROUD OF OUR MILITARY!

I didn't realize that it was the 82nd! Those are my boys. This makes me so happy. :D

You should feel proud. They are brilliant.
