Here's Unremitting Failure cutting loose, in a frenetic Watusi that caused Mrs. UF to flee the room. Some people just can't handle "REAL" dancing. We were listening to the Dandy Warhols' "Boys Better" when the spirit struck us. It was Saturday night, we might've probably had a little way too much caffeine, and boy did we cut the rug. Back in the day we could clear a dancefloor with our spirited improvisatory moves, and we just wanted to prove we still have it. We still do. People see us make our moves, and they don't walk, they run, away. We're a one-person dance party, a disco Vietnam. If you see us coming, make room, or we'll party all over you.

"Disco Vietnam", now that's great. As is the hat.

I couldn't help but notice how you and Leonard Cohen have similar tastes in hats:

I propose warning signs on coke cans: May cause dancing.
(Good to see you like this.)

I just listened to boys Better and man I'd like to dance to that!
I went Friday night, but I just wasn't feelin' it, so I only did my little rooster shuffle to Louisiana Cock Fight. And a couple otheres I guess.
You do look a lot like Leonard Cohen in that pic!

Hey y'all. I'll take the Leonard Cohen comparison as a compliment, despite the fact that he's 363 years old. Jan Martin, I stole the "Disco Vietnam" line from the seriously underrated film, Starsky and Hutch. Today is MLK day, so I'm at home and having difficulty blogging, but it's a delight to hear from you all. Thanks, mike

I haven't living room danced in quite a while. I have supermarket danced and department store danced, but man, living room dancing is the best. :)

Kitchen dancing while cooking to funky friday on the radio is pretty fun too

I livingroom danced through my 20s, thanks to the miracle of alcohol. I still do it now and again, just to prove to myself that I still don't have a single good move.
