must be. still pretty funny tho. all the cops i've seen on tv would have emptied their weapon in the guy's general direction as soon as he did the high kick.

Reno 911 definitely has its moments.

On a completely unrelated note, when I was 12 years old, I saw a TV show in which someone was asked to recite the alphabet backwards, and became obsessed with being able to do so myself. Long story short, I think I can go Z-A faster than I can go A-Z.

Er... yes. Happy Thanksgiving!

That may be the funniest short film clip I have ever seen. That cop was brilliant!

Awesome.

Step. Bump. Step. BumpBump.

Mayor West, I did the same thing. Never once have I had to use it, though it makes a good party trick.

Mayor West, mine was a McDonalds commercial way back in the mists of time where the girl recites "Two all beef patties, special sauce... etc. " backwards, which I learned and to this day can recite with amazing speed:

"bun seed sesame a on onions pickles cheese lettuce sauce special patties beef all two".

If any of you are having a party and think you need crowd-pleasing entertainment I'd be happy to attend.

Mayor West, for reasons I can't recall, I decided to learn my zyx's too. I must have been about 10 years old. Only after adolescence did it occur to me that doing this was, um, not something that "normal" kids did. Imagine my feeling of vindication when, in my late 30's, someone actually asked me to recite the alphabet backwards during a job interview. (Weird interview. No "step, bump, step, bump, bump", but lots of logic problems. Got the job, though.)

I think most normal kids try to learn their alphabet backwards, just 'cause it's a do-able challenge. I know I did, even if I didn't practice enough to make it stick in my head forevermore.
