Today we gather to remember and lay to rest one of our long lost friends, the "Tootise-Roll". I remember when you were first born and we called you the "Butterfly", such wonderful times. You brought joy to many Cheyenne High School dances and other events. Your simplicity made it easy for un-coordinated white people such as Chris Driscoll to win dance competitions. Then your ultimate downfall came in the form of Oprah Winfrey. She did a show teaching older folks how to the dance like the youth. This one show killed you off and disiminated the "Bart Simpson". It was like the one plane ride that killed Buddy Holl, the Big Bopper, and Ritchie Valens ...just worse. How dare this woman use her sinister show to bring you down. The end was definitly in sight, but if that show had never aired you would have lasted at least until early 1995. She pulled the plug on a national phenomenea and brought tears to the eyes of Desert Shields all around.
Please remember the good times with this dance. Homecoming, prom, morp, sadie hawkins, and a second homecoming. Ahhhh what a wonderful second Sadie Hawkins it would have been had you been there. Instead we were forced to do the Macarena. The whore of all US dance crazes. May you rest in peace and forever be in our minds...for the last time...to the left, to the left; to the right, to the right; to the front, to the front; to the back, to the back; now slide baby, slide baby slide, baby slide; now dip baby dip c'mon just dip baby dip ALL THE WAY INTO OUR HEARTS AND INTO HEAVEN.

I am Honored to be mentioned in this blog. I still dream of my celebrity gained by this once smooth and beautiful expression of ones self. My head still itches from what ever Stacy left on it when she humped it. Not sure what it was? Matt or Taylor, who ever left this, thank you for keeping great artistic performances alive in our minds!!!
May I mention that your performance of the Tootsie Roll was even more memorable when you donned the plaid pants, later to be retired to the wall of one English teacher. Sadly, I cannot remember many teachers names. It seems I have repressed many of my high school memories do to too much drama.
Hey, it isn't really dead. People just think it is, like Elvis...anywho I just did it at a Halloween party on Friday night....that AND the electric slide. Brought back so good times.
O'my hell! I am laughing my face off right now!
Yeah, what Liza said. Mike and I do it all the time in our room after the kids have gone to bed. Viva La Tootsie Roll!
Eeeew!

You must not have been involved in TOO much drama. I never heard anything juicy about you back in the day. Do tell.

It was just dumb stuff. If you hung out at Cam's house long enough it eventually paid off. It seemed to be a spider web of drama that you could find yourself somehow connected to it. It all just had to do with boys. Nothing to exciting.

Remember when I was making some doo-dad thing for the "elections" and Cameron offered to help at his house? (It was so not romantic/lovey). You came over and about burned me with your killer eyes. OUTTA THERE I WAS! Woman are so territorial....and fickle....:)
Okay there is another Yoda sentence. Wierd.
