Alright PHrinds, as I promised here is my report on the question, what if the hokey pokey is all it relly is about?
WHAT IF THE HOKEY POKEY IS ALL IT RELLY IS ABOUT? BY:MATT (LAST NAME) 4-16-02
Humans have always been bombarded with questions like "wheres the remote", or what's 2x2?" However these can be easily awnsered, and since this is not the the ultimite question of life and the universe, the awnser is not 42. The question is, what if the hokey pokey is all it relly is about? Someone once put it, "you put your mind in and you shake it all about, you've only got to options, havin' fun or freakin' out and that's what it's all about. So maybe it's all too simple, and maybe the hokey pokey is all it relly is about.
If you look back in time you see mind boggling equasions like E=MC2. You may also feel that you have to be very smart to understand this. You would also have to spend a lot of time studying this in order to understandit. On the other hand, since we only have approximitey 76.8(no, I did'nt spend my time figuring this out) years on this planet, I think we should have fun. Yet, our human minds cannot stop thinking about this. If you look more into it, it makes sense for the hokey pokey to be all it relly is about. In life you have 3 options, and within those 3 ore 2. Read the following diagram to understand.
HAVIN FUN
YOU PUT YOU TAKE YOU SHAKE
YOUR MIND YOUR MIND YOUR MIND ALL
IN OUT ABOUT
FREAKIN OUT
That my freind, IS all it relly is about.
This still remains a qusetion though. As you learned in school you must experiment your question. However this question has such a comeplexity(yea!right.Ha,ha,ha), such a basic awnser could not possibly, humanily, Physicaly, UNDERSTANDIBLY, SLAP!!!!, thanks, I needed that. What i am saying though, is such an equasion of life, seems very unlikely. I mean the hokey pokey is a song/dance, but it seems so likely, but yet unlikely, it is hard to believe otherwise.
So now that you have all of this information, and have been throughly confused, you can countinue this mind bending idea all that you wish. However I just like to say that the hokey pokey is relly all it is about, because it is quicker, easyier, and simpleier, but what do you think? I encourage you to write your own story about this, and expressyour opinion. Just rember, Einstien is renouned as a genius for figuring out E=MC2. Still, we have come up with a question so hard, HE probliy could'nt even awnser it, what if the hokey pokey is all it relly is about?

As you see this was a short report, but lckily it was'nt takin' for a grade. However I did like writing it. I hope you all enjoyed it.

I enjoyed it very much Matt! I nominate you as the group's official "SchoolBoy Heart!" Thanks for posting your report. As far as I'm concerned, it might as well be all about the Hokey Pokey as anything else!
Looking forward to tomorrow night's show! - Nicki
