The Official Cure for a Case of the Mondays

by rachaelgking on March 16, 2009

This weekend, B and I became scientists on a mission to find a cure for the epidemic known as “A Case of the Mondays.”

Or, we got drunk and forgot that we’re white for a little while.

Either way, you were promised a very important video today. For those of you who missed this weekend’s dose of the fugly, we discovered the new dance craze sweeping the nation and just had to share it with you. Please witness, “The Stanky Leg.”

We were so entertained (read: drunk) by this tomfool-tastic atrocity, B agreed to share with us his own white boy version of this creative and outside-of-the-box dance routine. Mostly because I begged him to and he is the best boyfriend ever.

The first try didn’t go so well…

But never one to give up, B chugged another beer and tried again… this time with what can only be described as SUCCESS.

My favorite part has got to be when I yelled at the top of my lungs, “YOU GOT THE CLAP!!!”

I *may* have taken a shot at the white girl version of the Stanky Leg, but that shiz is never seeing the light of day. I am hereby conceding that B is far more black than my lilly white ass could ever hope to be.

This has been your installment of the LiLu & B hour. The things we do for you guys…

Happy Monday, lovers! Hope this brightened it up a little bit.

freaking amazing.

2 Little Ms Blogger March 16, 2009 at 12:25 pm

Wait….the Stanky Leg dance gets me MOCKED on the dance floor????

Oh man, I’ve been practicing the moves for WEEKS!

3 Jaxie Fantastic March 16, 2009 at 12:29 pm

I really do appreciate the little tidbits of AWESOME that you and B are willing to share with us. It makes having to be awake early on a Monday morning worthwhile.

4 Sassy Britches March 16, 2009 at 12:36 pm

Ho. ly. crap. This is freakin’ hysterical. I almost fell off my chair!

5 Ben March 16, 2009 at 12:38 pm

Dance interludes – YES. That’s EXACTLY what blogging needs!

6 Jenny, the Bloggess March 16, 2009 at 12:41 pm

Pure awesomeness. Totally doing the stanky legg in my office. PS. Why are there two g’s in legg?

7 A Super Girl March 16, 2009 at 1:01 pm

Simply fabulous!

8 Miss Scorpio March 16, 2009 at 1:13 pm

Impressive for a white boy. :)

9 Kristina P. March 16, 2009 at 1:16 pm

I knew I should come to your blog first thing in the morning. HI-larious!!

10 inkpuddle March 16, 2009 at 1:24 pm

Aaaaaand happy Monday to me. My day will officially suck a little less now, thank you.

11 Marie March 16, 2009 at 1:26 pm

That’s it, we’re going out dancing and you two will be doing the skanky leg.

12 Maxie March 16, 2009 at 1:26 pm

I am ashamed to admit it, but I have that song on my iPod.

Also, the stanky leg is a lot easier if you put your hands on your opposite knee.

13 Racquel Valencia March 16, 2009 at 1:31 pm

I don’t even need to get drunk to forget that I’m white.

Dance Party Mondays are the best kind of Mondays!!

14 16 paws March 16, 2009 at 1:33 pm

I’ve noticed B has become a more integral part of your blog lately. Wasn’t his involvement just a few months ago limited to rolling his eyes at you while commenting on your blogging obsession? He’s come a long way, welcome him to the dark side for me.

BTW, the man has moves, I dare anyone to deny it.

15 Fearless in Toronto March 16, 2009 at 1:48 pm

It sometimes amazes me that I lived with the two of you and well…lived. Or at least didn’t end up on LiLu’s Stankiest Home Videos.

16 M@ March 16, 2009 at 1:49 pm

Stanky leg. ha.

17 ifihadtopickfive March 16, 2009 at 1:54 pm

My day just peaked. It is going to be all downhill from here.

18 LiLu March 16, 2009 at 2:00 pm

Vittoria: Pure gold, no?

LMB: Don’t worry… it’s still cool in an IRONICAL way! :-)

Jaxie: You’re so welcome, dear.

Sassy Britches: Just make sure you’re doing the Stanky Legg on the way down.

Ben: Everything’s better with a dance interlude.

Jenny, the Bloggess: A) Can I just say how honored I am that you stopped by here? You’re one of the reasons I started writing, and your blog is my all-time favorite. B) Two ‘g’s? Gettit? GETTIT? No, just me?

A Super Girl: As are you, my dear.

Miss Scorpio: Don’t encourage him. Well, okay, do. It kept me laughing all weekend.

Kristina P: Glad to make you smile :-)

inkpuddle: Then my work here is done.

Marie: Anytime, dear. Anytime.

Maxie: Of COURSE you do. Next time we’re together, you KNOW we’re busting out the Stanky Legg!

Racquel Valencia: OBVIOUSLY!

16 Paws: How could I let talent like that go to waste? It’d be a sin!

Fearless: You forgot about the video we made…?

M@: Indeed.

ifihadtopickfive: Thank you, thankyouverymuch.

19 Deutlich March 16, 2009 at 2:08 pm

Uhm. Thank you for that.

For serious.

20 Miss Musing March 16, 2009 at 2:15 pm

My Monday is now complete :)

21 Liebchen March 16, 2009 at 2:18 pm

This is beautiful. Simply beautiful.

But really, how could you deny us your version of the Stanky Leg, as well? One of these days…

22 Just A Girl March 16, 2009 at 2:31 pm

Yeah I’m with Liebchen – I’m gonna need you to get drunk and post the video of you.

Now I’m just praying I see someone busting that mess out at the bar. Personally, I think I’ll stick with my “I’m so drunk I forgot I’m white” booty shake.

23 Cyndy March 16, 2009 at 2:33 pm

That’s some serious Stanky Legg he got there. And the clap(clapp!)comment was priceless!

24 PorkStar March 16, 2009 at 2:34 pm

lmao he’s got moves yo!

25 blueviolet March 16, 2009 at 2:43 pm

Do I thank you for this? Why do I feel the need to see if we can do the stanky leg dance too?

26 lustyreader March 16, 2009 at 2:48 pm

What a great start to our Monday! Talent like that should definitely be shared. Have y’all thought about entering any reality tv shows?

27 bFlat March 16, 2009 at 2:48 pm

I love this and will be trying out the Skanky leg dance next time I’m out….

28 cavy March 16, 2009 at 3:18 pm

i am beyond impressed. and the hood really gives him that gangsta flava!

29 Jen March 16, 2009 at 3:55 pm

He does have the clap, doesn’t he? Did you have it too, in your version? You ought to overshare it on TMI-Thursday. I wish my sister wasn’t the one in possession of the footage of me insisting “I need to get DRUNK!” while two seconds later I fall on my ass in the metal chair. God, those were the days….
But anyway, the second one was Bownannuhz, dawg. Tell him job well done!

30 Tabitha March 16, 2009 at 3:58 pm

Oh…lordy. Definitely made my Monday a little bit better. Thank you. :)

31 Lisa March 16, 2009 at 4:00 pm

I absolutely love how willing B is to do pretty much anything for the sake of art and Mondays.

32 Violet March 16, 2009 at 4:03 pm

LOL!!!! B is awesome as are you for thinking of us and brightening our Monday!!!

33 Dr. H March 16, 2009 at 4:06 pm

with that kind of in-house entertainment, you totally don’t need a tv!

34 LiLu March 16, 2009 at 4:07 pm

Deutlich: Anything for you, love.

Miss Musing: Mine, too. Amazing what a difference a little dance party makes!

Liebchen: One of these days… perhaps…

Just A Girl: That’s my usual go-to move, but I might be able to make something happen for you guys.

Cyndy: It was 100% unintentional, which makes it that much better.

PorkStar: He won me over with those moves. True story.

blueviolet: Do it do it!

lustyreader: If only we were stars! Then I could finally meet AC Slater…

bFlat: YES! It’s the newest thing to sweep the nation since the Snuggie!

cavy: He was hoping no one would notice it’s from Hollister…

Jen: I might have to share my version for TMI Thursday. Trust me, my lack of dance moves is DEFINITELY TMI…

Tabitha: You’re so welcome, love :-)

Lisa: He is good to me, truly.

Dr. H: But then how would we have discovered the Stanky Legg dance??

35 mylittlebecky March 16, 2009 at 4:09 pm

kids today with their crazy dances

36 Kate March 16, 2009 at 4:22 pm

I can’t wait to check these out when I get home!

Something tells me they’re NSFW. :)

37 f.B March 16, 2009 at 4:28 pm

i’m behind the times. i’m still doing the cupid shuffle.

38 f.B March 16, 2009 at 4:29 pm

wait… what if i combined the two? added some stank to the shuffle…?

39 Oliveira March 16, 2009 at 4:38 pm

As a non-native I need to inquire as to whether “stanky” and “stinky” are related words?

40 Steam Me Up, Kid March 16, 2009 at 4:55 pm

The clap is really the cherry on the stanky legg.

(Also, dude. Jenny the bloggess. dude.)

41 LiLu March 16, 2009 at 4:59 pm

mylittlebecky: For serious. I’m old.

Kate: They’re SFW… sorta… except for me yelling about venereal disease.

f.B: This I gotta see. I demand a vlog!

Oliveira: If I knew the answer to that, I probably wouldn’t be quite so amused by this video. I’m on the outside too, love.

Steam Me Up: I KNOW. I FREAKING KNOW.

42 calixta.jive. March 16, 2009 at 5:25 pm

you definitely know how to cure the mondays… lol!
some of my students do the stank leg, only they add the finger held under their nose for effect… haha!
THANKS!!!

43 Jen - The Secret Keeper March 16, 2009 at 6:45 pm

OMG, I love the clap (the actually clap in the vid, not the STD!)! x

44 Oxen Cox March 16, 2009 at 6:53 pm

Oh my goodness. Seriously, that is craziness. Thank you for that. I am going to drink some beers tonight to see if I can become inspired.

45 Alice March 16, 2009 at 7:11 pm

oh my god. this has made me very happy. B is phenomenal. :-)

46 Jackie March 16, 2009 at 7:50 pm

I would love to be in the session where they choose the name and dance move. Really rap boy? Stanky Leg?

Love your interpretations!

47 Kate March 16, 2009 at 8:03 pm

And my coworker says to me, “Where on earth do you find this kind of stuff?” And I say, “Lilu.” Like she’s supposed to know what that means.

Because she is. Right?

48 Muppet Soul March 16, 2009 at 8:38 pm

That brightened my effing day.

What do you MEAN we’re never going to see you do it? C’MON!

And for the record, I don’t think the ideal way to reveal to your boyfriend he has the clap is on a VBlog.

Just saying.

49 Kimberly March 16, 2009 at 8:40 pm

That was so bad ass! I think that B should have done it just a little longer and had some midgets with sparklers in the background. He really did have “the clap” down. You must be so proud!

Maybe you should put up a donate button and if the right amount of money is raised you will offer your rendition of the “stanky legg”
I’m pretty sure people would pay to see it…

50 LiLu March 16, 2009 at 9:15 pm

calixta: Oh man, I might have to add that into my own version… that’s a nice touch!

Jen- TSK: Don’t lie. You love both!

Oxen Cox: I demand video footage. It’s only fair.

Alice: He is, truly. ;-)

Jackie: We are certainly… creative, if nothing else.

Kate: RIGHT.

Muppet Soul: Well, maybe I could be coaxed… we shall see…

Kimberly: Donation button, hmmm? That might just be GENIUS.

51 Piper Jacquelyn March 16, 2009 at 9:41 pm

Ahahaha! Thank you so much for posting these lovely videos! The effort is amazing and I must say that I am sure that I would not be able to match the level of talent!

52 Jules March 16, 2009 at 9:42 pm

That shit is hysterical!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love it!

53 alexa - cleveland's a plum March 16, 2009 at 11:12 pm

aw i love this! i want a B that will do fun dances with me.

the stanky leg kind of reminds me of the “dead leg” like what JT does during the “my love” video.

54 The Cottage Cheese March 16, 2009 at 11:23 pm

The “stanky leg” – too funny! Oh, the things we do when we drink. Heavily. Good thing most aren’t caught on video!

55 Jenni Jiggety March 17, 2009 at 1:33 am

I had the stanky legg once…but I don’t really want to talk about it.

Smooth moves…

56 Kristen March 17, 2009 at 1:55 am

OMG I love it!!!!!!!

57 Katie March 17, 2009 at 2:31 am

You just made my day…”the stanky leg”…WTF? It sounds like slag for gangrene.

58 los_tartist March 17, 2009 at 2:48 am

What’s so funny? That’s like, the *definition* of pimp.

59 Amanda. March 17, 2009 at 3:21 am

Ummm. LOVE this. No really.
I am highly impressed. I’m still
gigglin’ over it.

60 Connie March 17, 2009 at 8:32 am

Great moves B! :D

I finally got a kid-free chance to watch and listen. I don’t mind some things, but my kindergartner picks up lyrics and dance moves. I want this weeks’ parent-teacher conferences free of ‘stanky legg’ discussions.

61 margelina March 17, 2009 at 12:57 pm

LMAO! Thank you for that!!!

62 Just Playing Pretend March 17, 2009 at 1:41 pm

That is going down as a favorite post! A-freaking-MAZING.

63 LiLu March 17, 2009 at 2:07 pm

Piper Jacquelyn: He has talent for days, that boy.

Jules: I’m so glad :-)

alexa: B said it reminded him of that too! You’re twinsies!

The Cottage Cheese: I think I might have to unleash my version… it’s twice as ridiculous. Mostly cause I can’t dance…

Jenni: As long as you got it cleared up!

Kristen: Me too, love. Me too.

Katie: THAT’S what it means??? Finally, the answer!

los_tartist: I’ll be his hooker. Wait what?

Amanda.: I’ve watched it like 19 times, no joke.

Connie: I would LOVE to see an entire classroom do the Stankey Legg!

margelina: You are so welcome.

JPP: Favorite post! YES I am the winner!

64 Sarah March 17, 2009 at 3:20 pm

You need your own show. You two are better than Dancing with the D Listers

65 raych March 17, 2009 at 8:34 pm

WHY did I not watch this yesterday?

hilarious. i’m gonna hafta try the damned stanky leg while i’m drinking green beer.

66 pistols at dawn March 18, 2009 at 12:58 am

That was a pretty good stanky leg, but then again, I spell “leg” with one “G,” so what the eff do I know?

67 Emily March 18, 2009 at 3:41 am

every single one of these videos are too GD amazing!!! haha LOVE it!!!!

68 ANG* March 18, 2009 at 8:00 pm

wow. holy comments lady.

i’m late on this. but until last week i didnt even know this song existed. then i saw a blog post similar to this with vids and pic of their “stanky legs” and i was so confused. now with each reference, i laugh harder.

69 Molly March 19, 2009 at 3:30 am

Yes! Fantastic! I love the instant gratification since like i said i’m catching up on reading. Hooded sweatshirt really brings it to life.
