uff da---Elizabeth, you have caused more spilt coffee for me than anyone else on this group I think.

Perhaps she was just thinking that the polka, properly done, is very aerobic. As done in rural Saskatchewan, it qualifies as a martial art. Dawne

SPEW!!!!!!!!!!!!

I needed that!

The only thing lethal about our polka was that I had been taught to do the Polish version and my partner had been raised on the German version, so until the dance coach clarified that *he* was doing it "wrong", there was a lot of stepping on toes and swearing at each other.

The tango on the other hand ... my boyfriend was showing my dance partner how to do it with PASSION (the Germans do it as a march, hup-two-three-four, reverse direction-two-three-four) and dipped me with such enthusiasm that my head hit the floor. Hard German head, no risk of fracture. Where it got lethal was my dance partner assaulting my boyfriend for not taking proper care of me. :)

Dawne:

Elizabeth isn't the only one causing spilt coffee.

I've been the Kitchener-Waterloo Oktoberfest, and I've seen that sort of polka!

Good thing I don't have my coffee in front of me. DH's family is Lithuanian (IIRC his parents are the generation born here) and evidently when the kids were young, they recall some rousing "polka fests." That said, as I've spoken about his difficult older sisters, the "crazy one" in particular. At the last family wedding, she (who is about 5'2.5" and maybe a size 4 petite, is wearing a cordorouy, Llbean or lands end type shirtwaist dress - in a size "L" at least, down to near her ankles, and kind of Mary Jane style shoes, with a maybe 1.5" heel - big fat (not the stylish chunky) which we referred to as "nun" shoes, and her hair pulled straight back in a pony tail off the top back (a la Barbie 1963). Suddenly, we look up - as a polka starts, and she grabs one of the cousins, and whoosh - is whirling and stomping up a storm around the dance floor - like a Bizarro World Lawrence Welk episode. We almost spewed our drinks - as someone (perhaps DH) came out with "look - it's like Amish girls gone wild" - thinking of those spring break college girls gone wild videos>

Thanks for sharing!

Ah, Dawne - that's a picture. The hockey SIL who looks like a pole dancer - the player is actually an American. Though, hmmm, the strangest "escort" we've seen - a few years ago. We're hanging in the little club down by the locker rooms, and some of the guys are in there, with their girlfriends, wives. Not a big crowd. In comes a player, escorting a tall, built like a Barbie (for real), brunette in a fuzzy mohair locut sleeveless shell, shiny, painted on black patent leather pants, and easily 5" spike black patent shoes (usually referred to as f-me spikes and seen only upside down). Said player, an interesting guy (famous for telling Iron Mike Keenan "Joe-Joe no go" when he was on a bench and tired and not ready to go back out with a prior team) was only with the CAPS briefly. But, as he walked in with this woman - all eyes went to them. Got a brief liquid replenishment. Said hi. Then left. Believe me, there was first a hush, then a round of laughing "oh, my" . The consensus was that she had come or they were going to the floating nightclub next door - which was on a regular basis operated as an S&M club (the space was rented by various groups) IIRC, he was from some rural Western Canada locale....
