Video: Must See TV - Hollie Vs. The Rally Monkey

Monday 10/22/07 Update: We are pretty convinced now Hollie the dance didn't work!

Channel 3 News Today's Morning Meteorologist Hollie Strano challenged the rally monkey to a dance off Wednesday morning. Some - ok, really just a few - believe Hollie's dance is good luck for the Tribe.

After watching the beautiful bean footage, we have to conclude: Rally Monkey 1 - Hollie 0

Should the Indians win the pennant tonight, I can't wait to see what happens on the morning show tomorrow morning between 5 & 7 AM on Channel 3,

Take a look for yourself.. but at your own risk of laughing your butt off: "Oh the Humanity", we yell - CLICK HERE FOR THE VIDEO
