Polaroid warns buyers not to 'Shake It'
LONDON, England (Reuters) --OutKast fans like to "shake it like a Polaroid picture," but the instant camera maker is warning consumers that taking the advice of the hip-hop stars could ruin your snapshots.
OutKast's number one hit "Hey Ya" includes the "shake it" line as a reference to the motion that amateur photographers use to help along the self-developing film.
But in the "answers" section on the Polaroid Web site, the company says that shaking photos, which once helped them to dry, is not necessary since the modern version of Polaroid film dries behind a clear plastic window.
[...]
Polaroid said its film should be laid on a flat surface and shielded from the wind, and that users should avoid bending or twisting their pictures. Of course, "lay it on a flat surface like a Polaroid picture," doesn't sound nearly as cool.

Shake it like a shake'n'bake mixture?

shake it like a Philip K. Dick shirt?

What could replace the line is actually a crucial problem because Weird Al is undoubtedly trying to figure out this very second.

shake it like a cripple-pulled rickshaw?

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 19:39 (twenty-two years ago)

actually I think Weird Al is trying to figure out if he can be double-specialized in both hands of his ambidextrious half-dwarf fighter-mage.

Your polaroid could end up looking a little something like this:

Actor Lindsay Lohan, 17, says she’s tired of public tiffs with Hillary Duff
NEW YORK (AP) — Lindsay Lohan says she’s tired of the drama between her and Hilary Duff.
The star of the upcoming movie Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen and Duff both dated pop singer Aaron Carter, and had a falling out that reportedly resulted in Duff asking Lohan to leave the premiere of Cheaper by the Dozen, in which Duff co-starred.
Lohan now says their spat is “silly” and “unnecessary.”
“I mean, she’s doing great. I’m a fan of hers. My sister loves her,” the 17-year-old Lohan said on ABC’s Good Morning America on Tuesday. “I just wanted to let her know I have no problems and neither should she. We were friends.”
When Diane Sawyer asked whether her fight with the 16-year-old Duff was “a high school thing,” Lohan answered, “Yeah.”
“It is the reason why I wanted to finish high school early because it is what you have to deal with in high school,” the actor said. “When you are working and stuff, the last thing you want to read is someone doesn’t like you. Let it go, you know what I mean? I just wanted to clear it up.”

shake it like faulty toilet fixture?

Aja, many of us do not read ILM nor do we read most threads here. Some of us are grown-ups with grown-up jobs.

― Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 19:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Ok.

But why did you italicizes that?

― Aja (aja), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 19:55 (twenty-two years ago)

You're a faulty toilet WHAT?

― dean! (deangulberry), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 19:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Tin roof, rusted.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 19:57 (twenty-two years ago)

You're a faulty toilet WHAT?

I didn't say what he itaicized

― Aja (aja), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 19:59 (twenty-two years ago)

That, my dear, is why it is italicized. It is a quote and the italics let people know you are quoting from another post. Netettiquite, learn it please.

― Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 20:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Lindsay Lohan isn't Hillary Duff?

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 20:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Netettiquite, learn it please.

I hope a rule of Netettiquite is to never EVER say "Netettiquite." In fact, that should be the only rule.

― David Allen (David Allen), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 20:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Not the spelling, the word. Nettiquite OR netettiquite, both = retarded.

― David Allen (David Allen), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 22:53 (twenty-two years ago)

What about Nediquite?

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 22:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh well that's fine. Just not the other two.

But why did you italicize something I didn't say if you were talking to me?
