And now..... welcome to the 1st day of winter....21 degrees Fahrenheit here this morning...storm on the way for tomorrow and Saturday

see if you trained capoeira. You would also have to learn the Samba.

I admire people who are well-trained in capoeira, but I don't know if I could do it. I just don't know if I could bounce like that. It's beautiful to watch though. They used it for Prince Nuada in "Hellboy II" and, more recently, for Cate Blanchett's Goddess Hella in "Thor: Ragnarok".

In "Glory Road", Robert Heinlein mentions that ballerinas take fencing - because it's beneficial to coordination, balance, and awareness. And I can see that. I trained in some type of dance on and off since I was six years old - classical ballroom, Latin ballroom, ballet, and later zumba. One of the unquestionable advantages that translates well into martial arts - dance training breaks you off needing to stare at your feet when you move around.

I know...and it gets worse

Merry Yule to all!

I was trying to find an image from a movies MST3K worked with, that had a megalodon grabbing a jet out of the air. Unfortunately, I can't find it.

Well, there is no danger of having to keep up with Curtis in Wednesday zumba class - it's all women. Surely you could keep up with a bunch of girls.

nope, mostly due to the fact that id constantly be forgetting which foot goes where and wondering if i'm doing it right or not

Because Man Rule #112: Thou shalt not Zumba/Jazzercise/any other dance aerobics.

yes but you forgot the few exemptions.
Chap 58 : section 1;
men are allowed to be the instructor of such classes as cited in the "how to meant, impress & pick up women code"
men over the age of 60 are also allowed to participate in such classes under the " im too old to give a F^&* code"

 

[hoshin1600]

Why oh why is it so difficult to get men into our zumba class and keep them there? Would it really be so terrible to spend 45 minutes a week in a room surrounded by beautiful women dancing provocatively?

i showed up for a Zumba class once but they really frowned upon me bringing in my recliner chair and a few beers to drink as i watched.

Good point

Well, I won't be flying Condor Airlines - that's for sure.

That's probably because you didn't offer to share.

You should be more worried about these....

I thought John Lithgow did it better.

I'm actually more worried about Gummy Bears

The terrifying thing about that megalodon is that it is apparently capable of changing its size. Throughout the movie, that scene is the largest (I think) it gets. It is also, apparently, capable of jumping or flying several thousand feet in the air. Imagine if that thing ended up in a Sharknado!

John Lithgow a better actor than William Shatner? A shocking assertion!

But Shatner was the original. John Lithgow had the benefit of watching Shatner’s role and improving it.
