LOL It looks like it's in the middle of doing the "Electric Slide", or the Cupid Shuffle. The video IS kinda creepy though.

I was just going to link to this video.

OMG - THIS IS WONDERFUL!!!

I haven't seen cousin Norfie is years!!!!

He walks that way due to an old "war wound" from the Troll Wars back in '72.

Ol' Norfie, what a prankster!!! But man oh man can that gnome DRINK!!! can't hold his pot though - a real lightweight in the ol' pipeweed department.

Hmm... just enough footage to show something odd, not enough footage to make out what it is. I'm saying hoax.

i was actually thinking that too, but i can't quite place where or when...

and obviously it's a hoax... nobody uses the video on their camera phone at random moments just because, you don't have that much memory of film-time for that to add up... it's only used when they already know something is going to happen...

Ya know... I seem to recall the footage being in some schlocky horror movie... but for the life of me I can't remember the name of it.

Hobs, always good to reconnect someone with their relatives Wink

Quite possibly a relation... although that still doesn't explain the deja vu the video is causing...
