You know, where you can see him talk (granted, the only "Podcast" video I've seen of him has been clips on the Daily Show). Anyway, about 1/4 way through editing, I finally realized that there was way too many edits for it to be . . . realistic. It's easy to edit speech and make it seem flawless. Editing video of *people* doing speech is a lot harder. But if we're able to do it without stuttering or going off into too many tangents, we just might do a video again! Yeah. With all the rules that contra dancing has, you'd think that Anarchists would be adverse to it, given that rules kinda goes against their ideology . . . right?

You guys are too funny for words. I would have loved to see this on video, but then it wouldn't be radio, which in a way makes it better. Hoop-dee-doo is for the polka (Hoop-dee-doo, Hoop-dee-doo, I hear a polka and my troubles are through). Anarchists contra dancing sounds impossible, particularly if someone is barking out orders. More please. “Try everything once, except incest and folk dancing.” – Sir Thomas Beecham. You guys are too funny for words.

And sometimes just for the pleasure of dancing with a female friend. Highly entertaining! Hope you produce many more episodes.

Too funny! I received invitations to a dance for Oct. '08 & May '09. I was told I would have to dance with other girls because of a guy shortage, and I'm actually more comfortable with that. Country Line dancing is popular here and requires no partner. You guys should try it, I tried it once and it was lots of fun, but I digress ;-) One question before I go ... Trunks? or no Trunks? :-D *Smiling with straight white teeth* LOL! Too funny!
