Dance Like No One’s Watching May 11, 2008

A live wire.
Barely a beginner, but just watch that geezer go.

Hard not to love this guy. He’s 61, 5′4″ and “stout.” And he decided he wanted to get a degree in modern dance.

It’s a little unusual, Morrow admitted, that an “old buzzard” like him is dancing alongside a bunch of “chick-a-licious 22-year-olds.” But he loves the arts so much he doesn’t care who gives him weird looks.

“I’m not coming to class with any ulterior motives or anything creepy,” he said. “I just want to learn to move, leap, be graceful.”

We could all take a lesson on persistence from Mr. Morrow. He’s worked 20 years on his signature movement which entails gracefully swishing his arm in a manner of “swaying seaweed.” A real American hero? I think he’s earned it. Alexey Vayner could learn a thing or two.

Brewfan, you’ll never be graceful. Just give it up.

I’ve been thinking recently about posting the video of me dancing onstage at the Luxor hotel, in front of 3000 people.

Cracks me up.

I call it ‘The Evolution of Dance - BrewFan Style’

Omigosh, omigosh, omigosh! I made the blogroll! I’d like to thank all the little people who made this possible.

Seriously, there’s nothing handier than a troup of helper midgets.

Wasn’t a midget that helped ya, Weas. I do believe that this time it was a lovely blonde Bigfoot.

It’s like your mother always said: the way to a woman’s heart is admiring her weasels.

So true!

Hey guys, did you notice that when you hold the cursor over Weasel’s masthead the weasel runs? So cool.

A terrible oversight, one righted by a good and decent size 11D

Don’t sell me short, Dave. It’s a 12 in tennis shoes!

11. Michael - May 11, 2008

Yeah, a size 12 that was about to stomp my ass if I didn’t fix the blogroll.

That’s what’s good about being a giant — people get scared and hop to it.

I found it!

The stupidest video ever on YouTube.
Yeah, it’s Safe For Work.

I believe that this video was shot in Ohio.
The category is Hippie Wisdom.

Guess that sums it up.
