Oh! So THOSE are Morris Dancers!!

[gsdx]

I've read about them so often in the Agatha Raisin series of books, but never knew what kind of dance Morris Dancers did.

Now I know:

 

[Nonimus]

Yes, it's amazing how many sad wanker's we have in Britain

Actually it's some ancient Celtic war-dance that has been preserved throughout the Christianisation/Modernisation and remains a pivitol custom that links Neo-Paganistic religions with our ancient religious past.


It's just performed by sad wankers.

Oh, I don't know. I mean, where else can you stand on a street corner whacking your stick all afternoon and not get arrested?

 

[Marbas]

I thought it was just a modern-day re-creationist dance dreamt up by a bunch of sad wankers from a Victorian folklore society?

I stand corrected.

There's some dances where they wave hankies instead.

And some just walk funny:

So I take it it's out of the question to ask for dance lessons from you two?????

 

[Nonimus]

Erm....yes.

Even if I promise to turn my back to you when I bend over to whack my stick?

 

[Nonimus]

It's the antler's that's got me worried - there's a reason they walk funny!

 

[NightDancer]

Oh my gsdx, it may take a while for me to learn the dance. Can you whack the stick for that long???

It's the antler's that's got me worried - there's a reason they walk funny!

Yeah, there'll be no bending over on that one. Yikes.

You call those 'antlers'? Here's a rack you ought to be worried about:

 

[gsdx]

Blimey those Moths are big buggers.

You ought to see our mosquitoes.

 

[NightDancer]

I'm canceling the dance lesson..... I don't trust Noni with a pair of those.
