Last week, everyone and their Moms were posting about this Mario-themed gym where cool people can frolic around doing gymnastics because they are talented and cool.

I showed it to my boyfriend and he said, "Oh, they're doing parkour." and I was like, "parker?" And he was like, "No, parkour."
Then, I was all brilliant and said, "Oh, it's like that thing they did on the Office."

And then I laughed at myself because I remembered that the first time I saw that Office clip on TV, I thought they were just saying "Hardcore!" instead of "Parkour!" But then Jim explains everything, so I was glad I didn't miss the internet sensation of 2004 and had caught up 5 years later when that episode aired in 2009.
In a related story, today I was asking my boyfriend if he was OK with leftovers for dinner and he raised both his arms and yelled, "Pulled Pork!" and began to kick the walls of our house and climb over the couch. I didn't really understand why his "Steve Holt!" impersonation (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rREGbLdOzfg) made him start kicking the walls of the house. Then I realized he was doing "Parkour!"
