So here's the back story: we're working on migrating the reddit blog off of blogger and have a test environment set up that we were playing around with. We have a semi-private IRC channel that your coworker, as a close friend of the reddit team and heavy duty open source developer also hangs around in.

I asked if anyone wanted login to the new blog interface to which I got a "Me! Me!" from the gentleman in question. Since he isn't strictly speaking a member of the dev team, I did the natural thing and said, "ok, but in exchange you're going to have to dance for my amusement." Suffice it to say he called my bluff.

I know the significance of what he contributes to Reddit, I've been on Reddit for a long time and ran into him because of IRC. He's the one that got me my job :P

I'm not surprised at all that he called your bluff, he's quite the playful fellow. I was amused when he shared it with the rest of our dev team (the video).
