    Dances

    I was talking with a buddy about the old days and the dances of the times, like the Hully Gully, The Stroll, and the (I hate to say it) Twist.

    What have we got today, besides the Texas Two Step? How about some new dances, inspired by woodworkers...like:

    The Kickback
    The Radial Arm
    The Dovetail
    The Mortise and Tenon (great for couples)

    In keeping with the increasingly bizarre nature of the club scene nowadays, you might have to come up with the "I just cut my thumb off!"... Rod?

          Maybe it's just me - but that sure brings up images in mind that I can't share here...!

            You left out The "Monster Mash", the "Bristol Stomp", the "Bop", and probably a few more.

                I like to dance, but I do more style type dancing - swing, blues, a little ballroom. However my favorite is blues. Pretty easy since it isn't syncopated like swing, but more importantly, you are very close in proximity to your partner.

                  Waltzing is a good proximity IMO.

                    Also, the swim, the monkey, milk the cow and the Freddie. I never did any of them... well maybe the Freddie.

                        BTDT. I had a full sheet of 1 1/8" particle board slide off the table and land edge wise on my foot. Fortunately I had steel toes. They got the brunt of the impact but so did the top of my foot. Not really that bad as I lived to tell the story.
