My sister and I watched the video tonight for Chamillionaire's Ridin', following a conversation about Weird Al's parody of the song. From the context of the video, we couldn't tell exactly what "ridin' dirty" consisted of - Chamillionaire just seems to get pulled over a lot and the police hassle or abuse him, but we didn't understand what his confessed "ridin' dirty" consisted of. So in true White & Nerdy fashion, I looked it up in Wikipedia. And there it was! Wikipedia, thou art the answer to nearly all my questions....

You know, as much as I talk about Neil Diamond, I'm not really a Neil Diamond Fan. I mean, sure, I own three Neil Diamond CDs, but I'm not one of those Neil Diamond fans... I like Neil Diamond in an ironic/humorous sort of way, and people who like him for real scare me quite a bit. The first musical artist whose albums I actively collected was Weird Al Yankovic. The second was They Might Be Giants. Then I was introduced to The Neil by Dave Barry. That should tell you something right there. Dave says of Mr Diamond's excellent...
