Or maybe most of ’em shouldn’t even try…
And some black men can’t either or shouldn’t even try.
But when they "dance like no one’s watching"–even though the world wide web is–well that makes for some pretty funny entertainment (in a toilet-flushing cat, euphemism-generating kind of way).
While I was looking for those Hallmark plaques last night, I found "The Daddy of all Dance Offs". Mamma Mia, squirrel away the wee cheap burrito (guilty again), I can’t imagine what these father’s kids are thinking right now…or their wives…or their mamas…or anyone who has ever known them. $5,000 doesn’t come close to what it’d take for me our kids to let Tad enter this contest. Anyone who knows him IRL is crackin’ up at the thought right now…Tad…dancing…:D. Unless it’s a s l o w dance, THEN we’re talkin’ a whole ‘nother ballgame…;)
Stephen and I laughed through all the contestants, voted for Tampa, but looked to begin with because the first guy was from Charlotte (I might’ve actually known him–ha!). But then, I noticed Houston on the list. And I thought about the Drama Mamas. It’s obvious he was using a pseudonym–"Lance Gross" is just a little too perfect for his (ahem, cough cough) smooth m o v e s. Instead, I think we might have a sighting of Victor…or Matthew…or maybe, even Evil Dwight!! Quick, somebody claim him!
Gosh, I could use a dose of Al Pacino in "Scent of a Woman" right now…or Swayze or Travolta, Travolta, Travolta…or better yet, Gene Kelly or Fred Astaire, or (I’m overdosing on youtube right now) my favorite du jour, Hines and Baryshnikov!
Mmmm…men who CAN dance…
It might be Victor. He’s all about gross lances.
The guys from Denver and Tampa were pretty good. The guy from Houston (I think it may have been Victor) needs to have a shoot on site bounty taken out.
Apart from the Houston guy, the fat black guy was the worst dancer.
Was this a joke? I voted for Tampa – but the rest pretty much sucked (even gross lance)
Of course – I’m not saying Dave can dance – on the beat anyway.
called the hubby in and we watched together.
I give them all a B for Bravery
One of my favorites was Gregory Hines. I was really sad to hear that he had died. But what an amazing tap dancer he was.
OMG…I actually bought the soundtrack to this movie back in high school…just loved that song “My Love is Chemical,” I think it was.
I was so freakin’ HOT for Baryshnikov back then. Well, and again when he was Carrie’s bf on Sex and the City.
Jenny, I think ALL lances are pusily gross.
WT, all I could think was, “WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?!” Perhaps the answer is they weren’t.
Karmyn, in comparison Elaine Bennis looks pretty good, huh?
Pamela, maybe they should’ve taken the C for Cowardice (and turned tail and run BEFORE tape started rolling!).
MikeY, gosh, he was fantastic, wasn’t he? Is there anyone like him around today??
Tiggerlane, Mmmmm, yes…the man has total body control, art in motion…!!!
We can’t dance because there’s no way to learn without peer pressure beating us down. Oh yeah, plus we have no rhythm.
I like to dance sometimes, and am fair to middling. Sometimes feel a bit self-conscious, but another drink usually squashes that.
Oh my husband can so NOT dance. He doesn’t have a Rhythm bone in his body.
I loved Baryshnikov and Hines in White Nights. Fantastic movie.
Hey Darlin’…I have to admit, I don’t have time to go to all the links today. Just wanted to fly by on my broom to say, “Hey.” Looking at you Fun Monday Kitchen, I can’t decide if I love you or dislike you. That is the cleanest, neatest kitchen I’ve ever seen…looks like something out of a magazine. I am tempted to take pics of mine now that we’ve had 4 grandkids and 2 daughters here for almost a week…looks like a landfill ! Take care and I’ll be in touch again soon.
