If I can stop one heart from breaking I shall not live in vain.
A Mexican’s face is a mask and so is his smile.
Once the party of the Working Man, Democrats have become the party of the Screaming Woman.
When you meet the unbelievers, smite at their necks.
Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy.
There is no more Left or Right. There are only Globalists or Nationalists.
What’s the point of calling yourself a liberal if you don’t allow anyone else to have a different view?
The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money.
What is your fair share of what someone else has earned?
You may not like war, but war likes you.
The usurpation of the word “liberal” by the left has been a catastrophe.
It is scarcely the same thing to put a man on the moon as to put a bone in your nose.
Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.
Life is just one damn thing after another.
How could anyone not smile while watching this!! That’s when people could dance without having sex on the stage.

Great video. It took a lot of work to sync those movements to the music.
Lagniappe is a Cajun thing, you know.

Carole: A Cajun thing?! You do recall that you’re talking to a guy who lived almost two decades in New Orleans. Do you know what lagniappe means?
LikeLike
Yes, I know what I believe it means. A little gift a store owner gives a customer. Usually LA or East TX. Cajun French.

Carole: It can have a wider meaning:
“something given or obtained gratuitously or by way of good measure.”
That’s how I use it here. A gift.

I first heard lagniappe used as the name of a charter sailing provisioning company.

Carole: We have a word in Spanish that means, among its other definitions, the same thing. Pilón.

Yes, I was going to write that but the word wouldn’t come off the tip of my tongue.

Carole: I suppose pilón would have been more appropriate here, but there are two reasons I did not use it. One, I did not think of it. Two, I like the sound and look of lagniappe.

How nice it is to see people actually dancing instead of appearing to be in a constant epileptic seizure while either flaying their arms or spinning on their butt on the floor.
I am too old to appreciate the art of whatever they do now, with the arm jerks and spinning around like a top. I went to a show back a while in Northern California where they actually devoted 15 minutes or so to this person who did this weird gyrations on the stage. Weird, or now the butt moving around like a target for some mating animal. Oh, send me back to the old days.
Great clips of great performers who actually had talent.

Tancho: That butt spinning is called break dancing. You’re just behind the times, old boy. I don’t think badly of it though I’m not a fan. It’s just a different style. It does require talent and practice.

Break dancing can’t be done with two people arm to arm because they would stop spinning, just an observation.

And an accurate observation it is, Tancho.
