Maybe some of you have seen this already, but I just thought this guy is too good to miss, so in case someone hasn't seen it, here's the evolution of dancing.

This was already brought to us by Izzarina. A simple search shows it was quite recently: http://chiffboard.mati.ca/viewtopic.php ... 1be09c2099

Well, maybe some people didn't see it the first time. I mean, if you have to do a search before you post anything that would stop me in my tracks. Okay, I know that could be a good thing.

Miseryguts here in his cave in the 12th Century didn't think it was funny. Sorry, I just didn't get it. Fair dancing, but why is it funny?

Because it reminds of all the dorky dances we used to do back in the day. Jeez, did I ACTUALLY behave like that in public? Maybe ya had to be there...

What does a complex search reveal?

Ah... well. That explains it. (I never did.)

Yep, same problem. The first couple I recognized from high school and they were funny to me, but the others didn't mean a thing to me. It was interesting to see how my participation in popular culture had such a sharp cut-off point. It wasn't anything intentional, it just sort of happened. I think you definitely had to be there for it to be funny.

Well, I typed in "dance and evolution" and izzy's thread came up on the first page. But I still don't think people need to do that because that would stop people from bothering to post and then life would be boring.

Mr. Izz didn't think it was all that funny either. I, on the other hand, was still laughing about it for a few days afterwards. But then that probably shows that I have a warped sense of humor or something....either that or I was having yet another blonde moment.

The only part I laughed at, in an "out-loud" manner, was when
Macarena was played, and he started the movements, then
just shook his head in an "even I have standards" kinda way.
Once again, probably only funny to Americans who were
youngish in the 90's.

When I was in Georgia, I went to see a version of the Nutcracker Suite. At one part they actually did the Macarena.

I thought that that was a low point of my going to shows until I went to the Magic Flute and they mentioned avian flu as a joke.
