"Some rise by sin, and some by virtue fall;
 Some run from breaks of ice, and answer none:
 And some condemned for a fault alone." -William Shakespeare, King Lear (1608), Act IV, scene 6, line 169

THAT would be a scary ad campaign.  The Wingman guy in a disco outfit.....  :ahhh

Here's a link about this Harlem Shake.  I dunno, I just ignore stuff like this....

  Guess they do occasionally let their hair hang out, and their bellies too. Wonder who was in that belly suit?  :rofl:

I had no idea what this Harlem Shake stuff was until I saw the LM factory vid. I've never been into the trendy stuff myself. The Gangnam Style thing was another one like this but I still haven't seen it.

Uh.....I don't want any of the tools they made that day :P
In order to be certain of having the right tool for every job.........one must first acquire a lot of tools

  Some miners from Western Australia got sacked for performing the Harlem Shake at their workplace.

In case anyone is wondering, that's a Sandvik drill rig they are dancing in front of.  I deal more in Atlas Copco than Sandvik stuff (if it was an Atlas Copco I'd even be able to tell you the model!) but I still see quite a few of the Sandvik models as well.

:D

Eh, I already own too many Leathermans. Or Leathermen? Sounds kind of, well...anyway, I for one would like to see Victorinox do a Harlem Shake. A bunch if stoic, stiff Europeans, dancing like crazy people. THAT would sell tools!
