When Washington Mutual went down for the dirt nap, we didn’t just lose a savings bank holding company, we lost something so much bigger. We lost a group of people who were really good a changing the lyrics to well-known songs for sport and laughs. And not just any songs, but the classics, such as Sir-Mix-A-Lot’s “Baby Got Back.” Thanks to the today’s hearing on the hill, this one is saved in perpetuity. It was first performed at WaMu’s annual “President’s Club Awards Dinner” in 2006, an event attended by Magic Johnson, who was lucky enough to count himself among the speakers that night.

    Please, please, please let a video of this insanity surface. I have visions of The Koz partying like it’s Sardinia 1999.

    Sounds like a fucking Amway meeting.

    -guy whose mom made him go to Amway meetings in high school and disagrees with its business model and thinks you should too, because really, what’s the difference between Amway and a ponzi scheme aside from the fact that Amway tries to pass off the illusion that tangible goods exchange hands; God what a waste of time those damn meetings were
