a helpful hint from curly mcdimple

Suppose you're walking down the street listening to your iPod (or Discman for you old-schoolers) and you suddenly get swept away by the music. And supposin' you begin vigorously lip-syncing the words to, I don't know... say, "It's the End of the World As We Know It" by R.E.M. Suppose furthermore that someone happens upon you and catches you mouthing away like you are the second coming of Michael Stipe.

Hypothetically, of course.

Well my friends, I have the sure-fire solution to this, again, hypothetical dilemma: Don't stop moving your lips. Instead, pretend that you're chewing gum. Even better if you make like it's Bazooka to better explain your prior rapid jaw movement. That person on Clinton Street, er... I mean in this pretend scenario I'm painting, won't be any the wiser.

You know, so I hear...
