Who is up for a Monday evening MN party, with text (stick) figure dancing, and some songs?

[WingedVictory]

I'll start with:

^ (stick mummy who has jumped so high her top half can't be seen above the door sill)

X a star jump with splits

O a weebly dance for those who are pregnant but want to join in (tho' I am not pregnant, it's good to have solidarity with the MNers who are)

K a one-sided Saturday Night Fever pose

Now I'm all sweaty, and I've danced like a fool without even had a drink. Will someone come and join me?

I cant dance though lol

Can you sing? You must know a rude Christmas song

Entry by entertainment only!

Flashes shapely pert bottom ina bumtastic homopeadeophiliacs manner: B

Lies on floor with legs in the air in a hopeful it's the end of the party manner (albeit prematurel): V

Oh dear everyone else has left already. Curls up sadly in the corner: C

A tarty party already, indeed!

Sorry, TisTheSeasonToBeHully, it was bedtime; there was always going to a hiatus for that.

So, more singing:

Does anyone know "This Land is My Land"? Any Americans in particular.

It's a lot of maundering about the beauties of the US, and how "This land was made for me and you".

Of course, it's not, as any fule kno.

"This land is my land,
This land ain't your land.
I gottta shotgun
And you don' have one.
If you don't get off
I'll blow your head off.
This land was made for me, not you"

My DH commented that that was always the subtext he had understood in the original. Made me feel very naive

WorkingItOut, I can't work it out. Let me have some wine.

P.S. I have taught my 20mo son to identify "wiiine". Such a proud mummy I am.

That's it; it must be some dance I'm too square ever to have learned. I just about got the Macarena and Saturday Night - showing my age.

Why couldn't you have done YMCA in text?

Working - Is it the birdie song?

I was feeling a bit inspired (and showing my age) when watching George Michael on X-Factor last night so since I have been humming it all day long, I thought I'd wiggle my hips to it...

wake me up before you go-go
I ain't planning on going' solo
wake me up before you go-go
I want to HIT THE HEIGHTS...

I'm too old to know dance routines, in my day we just jiggled about unless it was that one where you get down on the floor and pretend to row a boat...what on earth was that called? And why oh why oh why on earth did we do that to it ?

Oh and well done WV on the 'wiiine'. I've got my big two dcs trained go to the fridge, pour it without chipping the glass and return the bottle to the fridge at just the merest tilt of an empty glass. Look what you can work towards!

How would you do YMCA in text?

Mmm, nice Californian red wine. It will go nicely with the spag bol (or fusilli bol) I'm about to dish up. Anyone want any? Sorry there isn't a veggie option; I hadn't planned this party. All the party talk on other threads got me over-enthusiastic.

been at work for 14 hours. can i have sme bailys please. and a foot rub.

Thanks TeamEdward!

But now that's what I'm going to be humming all night long.

Ooops upside ya head...

Yes please to WV's yummy spag bol! I have a bag of salad in my carrier bag - have you got a bowl I can tip that into as my contribution to the surprise party?

...oops upside your head..

Poor GloriaInEccentrica, what a long day, longer than a good SAHM day, I might add. What do you do about childcare? And are you sure it is your feet which need the massage, not your bent-over-a-monitor back?

Working, the spag bol is with wine ("I don't just drink the stuff" is one of the reasons I couldn't possibly be a compulsive drinker ), mushrooms, red peppers and onions, so hopefully quite nice. The fusilli is not as nice, being te wholemeal pasta DH and I have been trying to adopt as a means of improving our diet. . By the way, have you ever tried rocket in spag bol?

BTW, have just spotted some earlier posts (must not have been refreshing religiously enough).

WorkingItOut, that is so cool about your little wine waiters! Do they turn the bottle at the end of the pour, to cut off the drips (I learned that at childhood Sunday lunches)?

And to spell out YMCA in stick-figure text-mummies is just "Y M C A", surely? Those are the shapes the body is making. I was pretending to be stupid but perhaps you thought I was serious and there was a special way to text/dance it. Sorry

WV totally yes to the little twist of the bottle. And on high days and holidays we make them carry a white napkin...but we know we are exploiting them so that make it OK, doesn't it.

Mmm...love what you've done with the rocket - would never have occurred to me to put it IN the bol rather than on the side.

More baileys all round?

I think the Bailey's might curdle with the red wine I'm drinking, but perhaps, if I might clear my palate with a bit of water, that might do.... Ahhhh.

Oooh, I'm beginning to feel tipsy. This is rubbish. Can I only drink Pinot Grigio or what?! I always joke with my DH that I am the princess and the pea when it comes to alcohol. (although it is a pity I didn't know my compatible wine chemistry early in life)...

I know, how about this bread and butter pudding from not just any old grocery store to sober you up? Doesn't take long in the microwave...

Am convinced Baileys grows on much the same tree as PG - am sure it will be fine .

No, I'm on the Californian red, as needed it to cook the sauce bolognaise. PG would have been overkill. Also, DS might have started shouting "wine!" at the clinking confessions in my trolley this evening. By the way, how old are your well-trained wonders?
