I am not ashamed to admit that in their heyday, I was *Nsync's biggest fan. Anyone who has known me from that era is well aware of this fact. I once pined for Lance Bass, as he was the quintessential blond haired, blue eyed, lerpy boy that I believed to represent the man of my dreams.Breaking news informs me that Lance has come out of his veritable closet and is now co-habitating with some reality show actor? Yes, I know. War ravages our country, our world, terrorists rack our sense of security, inflation and costs of living threaten our very existence, and yet I choose to pontificate upon the lifestyle choices of a one-time teeny bopper music star. But I just had to pause for a moment to think that another nostalgia-ridden piece of my childhood (erm, or early 20's-hood) has been taken away and that it's truly time to face reality... I guess it's not gonna be you, Lance...

Wait. You pined for Lance?
And just yesterday, like, for family home evening we were all watching an encore performance of the "Tearing Up My Heart" video.
And the Lance clowning was epic -- relentless, even. It surpassed JC's haircut, which had been the number one thing most clowned on in that video by my family for years.
I guess the only question that really ought to be asked is the following:
Did the Russians know about this?
Ahem. *once* pined is the key phrase here. I eventually converted to JC for his flaming Dirty Pop hair and soul patch, because Lance didn't appear to have any personality (well, neither does JC)...
...but my burning question is, why were you guys watching Nsync for FHE? Is this a family ritual? Was your mom there??
Maybe Lance wanted to bring his boyfriend into space...
Any guy (and trust me when I tell you that there were many) who endured a car full of girls who cried and convulsed as they sang along with the multitude of NSync songs in 2000 is thinking the same thing right now: I knew it...just knew it.
It was an impulsive, spur of the moment activity.
Gratefully, the 'N Sync worship years of my sister, my sister's peeps, and my mom -- which reached their disturbing peak in 2001 -- have been replaced by the 'N Sync clowning years.
My brother and I were never on the worship bandwagon -- for the obvious reason that 'N Sync sucks; we were always clowning, which naturally angered the family's 'N Sync fan base.
Anyway, the Tearing Up My Heart video is filled to the brim with all sorts of comedy and ridiculousness.
And in that video, Lance is obviously the weakest member, if you will. And I know you will. Hence the nickname "Lance Can't Dance."
Plus, one of my sister's peeps inexplicably decided a long time ago that she was all about Lance, simply because nobody else wanted him. That only added more fuel to the "Lance Can't Dance" and "Lance sucks" bonfire.
Not to mention "On the Line." Hey, Lance, the photocopier is broken. Do you think you could talk to it?
Dude, please tell me you have this incredible memory that recalls minute details of a crappy movie we saw over five years ago, otherwise I will have to consciously accept that you somehow managed to watch On the Line again?
Just living off memories, G.
Alls I gotta say to the both of you is: you loved my Nsync car dance. Admit it.
While at church yesterday and pontificating about the humorous "People" magazine cover with Lance Bass, someone dropped that Lance used to date Topanga from "Boy Meets World." True? If so, maybe he was just angling for Ben Savage.
dude, lance totally dated topanga. But didn't you have to question Topanga at the time too? She always seemed so much more burly than Ben Savage. Sort of like Donna dating Eric in That 70's Show... Don't get me wrong though, i don't question Donna, and I think she's totally hot.
Intrigue.
Actually, I've never really watched "That 70s Show."
Who's Eric? Donna? Did Wilbur Valderrama Lohan play that part of Donna?
Eric. Donna. Early episodes are totally note worthy. Like Alias, before it sucked.
