Driving & Dancing

Saturday, Nov. 22, 2003 - 9:44 a.m.

Hi there! Sorry to be later than usual, but I thought I'd pop in here and let you know the hard drive installation was successful.

I've spent most of the morning transferring files from the old drive to the new one, and confoogling the settings, yackity yack blah blah boring technical jiggery-pokery...

But the new hard drive is -in- and -working-.

And I installed it myself.

Happy Buttwiggling Footie Dance!

Speaking of dance...

Yesterday, Todd Thalimer asked me which was funnier, the Happy Dance or the Potty Dance.

I said the Potty Dance looked funnier, but that I preferred the Happy Dance.

Then we started talking about different kinds of dances. I was also in YMs with Scott Hysmith, and the three of us came up with the following:

The Happy Dance, The Potty Dance, The Bad Cough Medicine Dance, The Sour Vitamin Dance AKA The Pucker Dance, and the Cheap Liquor Dance, which is actually a combination of The Pucker Dance and the Bad Cough Medicine Dance.

If we left any out, leave something in the comments section.

Anyway, not a long post -- just wanted you guys to know the installation went just fine. :)

You forgot the Stubbed Toe Dance. Not a lot of footwork after the initial impact, but much screaming and yelling, gnashing of teeth, waving of arms, and of course, swearing.

The "My Daughter Just Broke Her Arm In Front of Me" Dance, in which you run from the room flapping your arms like a bird screeching "ohmigod! ohmigod! ohmigod!", while you daughter lies on the floor alone. Not real proud of that one.

The cha-cha where you're trying to get around someone and they're trying to get around you and you just end up dancing around each other.

Don't forget the "Get-it-off-me" dance or the "I-just-hit-my-finger-with-the-hammer" dance, which is similar to the "stubbed-toe-dance" but invovles more upper body work.

Anyone who's ever picked up a sleeping (or nearly so) baby knows the Parent Dance--that slow sway side to side often combined with the gentle hop up and down. :)

The "I know something you don't know" dance, which involves fingers in the air, a smug smile, and lots of in-you-face butt wiggling.

I don't know if these qualify as dances but I would nominate the two involving the 'missing' of the pant leg with the upraised foot and the 'hook the big toe in the fly of the skivvies'. (guys only) Both of these involve a lot of hopping and waving...but I don't know if they truly qualify as a dance...hmmmm.
