What shall I do for New Year's this year? I don't particularly feel like staying home, and most of the people I know who are at all likely to host a party that night are going to be partway through a pregnancy, or living with someone who is, and unlikely to want to attempt it.

I have the urge to go dancing, and yet, since I know few people here who go dancing regularly, and almost never do so myself, where should I go, and who with? Since I know my reactions to dancing can lead me into situations I would not, when not dancing or otherwise drugged, get into, I'm not going by myself.

Never mind, I need to get fitter anyway, and regaining the stamina to dance for hours at a stretch will provide me with an excuse good enough to motivate me a little.

And so we see the superiority of the "soft" martial arts. Practicing complex blocks and arm holds works rather well on the dance floor. <grin> Although I have yet to actually try any of them on prospective dance partners, only invisible opponents. Ah! Cunning ninja. They could be anywhere...<evil grin> Although I agree with him on the stepping on people thing. On a crowded dance floor I tend not to move my feet overmuch so as to avoid crushing small cities beneath my overlarge feet (and we won't even mention the effect my radioactive breath has on others). [1] And even moving an elbow requires a clear foot of space at my height. Although there was that great TMBG gig at the Synagogue where everyone was jumping up or down, regardless of whether they wanted to, because we were all packed in like sardines in a can. Perhaps we can satisfy your ability to dance with both of us by stretching you ever so slightly. <bwah hah hah ha ha ha ha> Igor! Fetch my taffy-pulling machine! About another foot and a half should do! [1] Reminds me of a great line from L Sprague de Camp's Krishna series. "There is a bridge between the tailed and tailless species, which no amount of sentience will ever cross." Spoken whilst the aforementioned sentient tailed species (Osirian?) was attempting to cross a dance floor... <grin>
