The <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/pantlessknights" target="_blank">Pantless Knights</a> have just released a video spoofing the Saturday Night Live/T-pain &ldquo;I&rsquo;m on a Boat&rdquo; video, but this time they're, wait for it... on a MAC! Now if that premise doesn't gets your MacBooks running, then I don't know what will. I'll give them props on the lyrics though, these guys know what they're talking about, but I could have used a little bit less of the <a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=moose+knuckle">"moose knuckle"</a> that guy in the leotard was sporting.</p>

I was surprised at how fast they actually updated this video because they even included the death of Brittany Murphy in there. Yet another creative use of Google Wave as a video production utility, Check it out below.</p>

<p>The video is great all in itself, but it reminds me of the Web 2.0 video "The Machine is Using Us" that came out about 2 years ago. Wow, how far we've come now that I think about it.</p>

All the proceeds from this event put on by Pikes and Gamma Phi Beta go to Camp Del Corazon, a non-profit organization, providing a free of charge summer camp for children with heart disease.</p>
<p>As you can see, this was the highlight of the night. It was probably the most embarrassing thing I've ever done, but people went crazy for it, and it all went to a great cause. I also got mobbed by girls when I want outside, which was a surprise seeing as I wore a cheerleading outfit. Below is our rendition and the real broadway performance. Compare and see which one you like the best! Oh God, I never knew my hips could do that.</p>

<p>Yesterday I received a really nice piece of fanmail. It really made my day. It said:</p>
<p>"Hey Guata! Just wanted to let you know that I'm a fellow geek paisano from Guatemala living and going to college in FL. and I just happened to bump into your youtube channel out of nothing. Congrats on the blog/shows and for giving Guatemala a better name, you are a role model for every Guatemalan out there, Keep it up! if you can please follow me on twitter @imjorge ^-^"</p>
<p>So thank you @imjorge, I really appreciate the well wishes. I'm going to get my act together and blog way more often like I used to, finish Orange to Orange (its really hard to do it), and hopefully have more fun stuff to share with you!</p>
<p>Nothing but good things,</p>
<p>Mike :)</p>

Is it a coincidence that when I met her for the first time she met my Phi Kappa Tau brothers, and now the main guys on Greek are members of the Kappa Tau fraternity??? Probably, yes. But a boy can dream right?</p>
