@billiejeanismylover: Whoomp represents the little "dip/slide/shuffle" you give before the "there it is" delivery.

@CodePink: speaking of lyrical derriers, does anyone else get the same thrill out of miss britney's particular miss britney pronunciation of said word in 'piece of me' as I do?

@The Real JR: None of the above. He just like bragging to his friends about how "Gwyneth gave me (her) head."

@TheHonJudgeSmails: I take it to mean that WHOOMP isn't so much a word as a sound one makes when one is there it is-ing. At the very least it's certainly a sound I make when I'm there it is-ing.

@TheHonJudgeSmails: Perhaps the lyric "These three words mean you're gettin' busy" is referring to the last line of "Shake your deriere." This is a huge stretch, however. I think I tend to agree with BillieJean above in that the "Whoomp!" is supposed to be a philosophical parenthetical. I'd really prefer it if the title of the song were "(Whoomp) There It Is!" Then maybe I could be at peace with all this.

I'm gonna continue making the same "Hey! Rupe likes Flonkerton!" joke until someone tells me I'm funny.

@TheHonJudgeSmails:
maybe they were being all philosophical about the fact that "whoomp" isn't really a word.

@CodePink: Please tell me you've noticed the following lyric from that song:

"These three words mean you're gettin' busy
Whoomp there it is"

These 3 words? As in three? REALLY?

I'm a fan of Rup's move to make WSJ online free. The guilt of tossing (I mean recycling!) a completely unread newspaper each day has become too much. Subways suck for full-size-newspaper reading.

We find it's always better to fire people on a Friday. Studies have statistically shown that there's less chance of an incident if you do it at the end of the week.

I think it was a baby both crying and saying "I'm bleeding," because Rupert was eating it during the call.

Also overheard: a random audience member yelling "Put him in a bodybag!"
