Everybody dance now

Mar 16, 2016 09:15

On Saturday, ChrisC scooted down to Ealing Shopmobility for me and collected a manual wheelchair. They offered me a self-propelled one, which I initially tried to decline as I assumed that meant powered. However, self-propelled just means "big wheels", of the sort you can use to propel yourself around when you're sitting in it. The clue's kind of ( Read more... )

...but of course you know Myk! I should have realised that ages ago.

... though I note that he refers to himself as Michael these days!

Much as a certain Dave seems to think he can get away with calling himself David.

Heh.

That comment was patently just an excuse to break your dancing icon out ;)

d_floorlandmine March 16 2016, 19:08:29 UTC

I don't have a "damn, busted", icon, so I'll have to settle for something random.

Edit: Random, and apparently, old. I'll need to start creating some more icons.

So long as you don't retire the monkeydance icon :)

You danced with Matt! I'm jealous

:)

He was very nice about people wanting photos or videos with him... "just let me know whether it's a photo or a video, so I know whether to go like this or like that". I didn't want a photo, but he had a big queue!

Having now seen Matt dance, I recognise his steps - that doesn't look like just any random dance, that looks like Snoopy's 'happy dance' ... [grin]

I see what you're saying :)

Of course now all dancing should be done in flag themed morph/body suits. Or kit coloured for Mabels. I hope you're busy looking for a nice purple one...
Glad that you're feeling a bit more improved and that your left knee is just mostly feeling grumpy due to being upstaged.

Sadly the live-stream of the evening showcase was sufficiently poor quality than I have no idea what it was that Red Mum did on stage. Or wore. I could tell when they lined out at the end that there were more than 5, probably human.

(Seriously, very poor quality! For some teams I could see enough to work out who I was watching. Most not. I gave up after Sally called me :)

You may be surprised to know that I own a morph suit. I can't remember why; it was for a fancy dress outfit I never made. It is, of course, black.

rapperaddict March 17 2016, 13:44:34 UTC

I'll confess I was a little surprised to hear you own a morph suit but then I took a second to think about it and was no longer surprised (but I don't know why...)

and, for being a Bad Mabel, a very bad video of Medlock's Showcase finale. The two blokes nearest to the camera were dressed as the 'Cheeky Girls' and I have no idea how they got into those golden hotpants and absolutely no wish to find out....

Goodness. 9? That explains why it looked weird when blurred!

Medlock's Showcase finale

Aargh. Help. And more morph suits? Was there a memo, or something?

I am also vaguely surprised that no one's ever thought of using 5, 6, 7, 8 before. Although there are also many reasons not to.

I don't spy Jeff L onstage. Don't tell me he decided it was too undignified!
