Another way to be even more annoying than you already are

I want you to annoy people. Constantly. It'll be fun. Here's an idea to help get you started.

Throw rappers names into your regular daily conversations. Like this:

Dork #1: "You want to go to the movies with me tonight?"
Dork #2: "Mos def."
Dork #1: "Awesome. I'm thinking we can check out that new creepy movie, Orphan."
Dork #2: "Coolio."
Dork #1: "Oh shit. I just realized we don't have a way to get there. My car's in the shop."
Dork #2: "Eazy E. We can borrow my mom's car."
Dork #1: "Fresh Prince!"
Dork #2: "What?"
Dork #1: "I'm just saying."
Dork #2: "I don't get it."
Dork #1: "Fresh Prince. Like - 'Fresh'. You know. Like it's cool that we can take your mom's car."
Dork #2: "That's Ludacris."

Coldsplash – Tokyo Police Club on Desparate Housewives

The lads from Canadian indie rock group Tokyo Police Club were on an episode of Desperate Housewives this past week. They played in a fictional band called Cold Splash, competing in a local battle of the bands sort of thing. During the competition, they played In a Cave from their album Elephant Shell.

I'm not a fan of the show, but I'm glad my wife DVR'ed this latest episode. Tokyo Police Club is badass, and I'll take pretty much any opportunity I can to mention them here. Check out a couple of their videos from MTV's website:
