This scientist sent an attack across the ocean this past week, thinking that he can scare me into submission with videos of William Shatner singing a variety of songs (yes, this is scary, I'll admit), or Britney Spears singing "Satisfaction" (even worse that Shatner), or a variety of other assaults included in his fuselade. However, I claim the ultimate victory with this truly terrifying video that tops everything he could possibly think of (below the fold);

hrm. i thought this little battle was going to last longer. i don't think we even got past foreplay, did we?
and to answer your second comment (which was trapped in moderation until i just discovered it) yes, indeed, this is real. so of course i am cheating. but so were you. and besides, all is fair in love and war, right?
