i didn't see the wardrobe malfunction live...
...i was playing a card game, so i missed it. but i did see this. this may rank as number one in "what did i just see?" live tv moments for me. i still have no explanation.
(note: the original video i posted here got removed from youtube, so here's a replacement: go to 8:03 of this one)

for those of you who didn't know, this was right after Barkley (an NBA hall of famer, "the round mound of rebound") and Bavetta (oldest NBA ref at 68) had a footrace because Barkley, during a tv telecast, had said Bavetta was too old to ref games, being that you had to run up and down the court, and that he could outrun Bavetta. so they decided to do it at the all-star weekend. Barkley won, and obviously, there are no hard feelings...
the thing i really wonder, is that if they had a mulligan on that hug, would they change it? meaning to say, was that on purpose, or was it just a volatile snowball of miscommunications that flashed back and forth 20 times in a split second before ending in something neither of them intended? i mean, i've definitely done the awkward "handshake or hug?" greeting, where you change your mind about 5 times of which to do before settling into an overly enthusiastic hug (because you don't want them to feel like you're not good enough friends for the hug) and that naturally leaves both of you with nothing to say to one another immediately following and avoiding eye contact for the next few minutes. but i've definitely never had that accidentally end in a man kiss. knock on wood.
and i might as well say something note to self related. the new cd is in production right now. they're pressing discs and printing cover art as we speak. or. as you read. unless you're reading this a month from now, then they'll be done. also, the music on those cds sounds awesome. awesome.
