Breakdancing, classic or dud?

I have just got in to the warm embrace of the computer lab from a fine evening out cutting a rug at the local tavern. While there we were treated to a rare display of Break dancing by a friend, only I did not see the beginning of this vision of beauty - just the end which involved him spasming right off the dance floor, a distance of a few metres. It was dance, but not as we know it and most definitely not something that would make it to a fatboy slim video.

In friend X's favour he was drunk and I think quite possibly certifiable as he claimed to have been receiving electric shock therapy. But still, is this sort of display necessary? Is it a Good Thing, and more praiseworthy than Dunedin's very own Usher who performed a shirt dance/strip tease? Should there be a license for practitioners of the art? or should it be abolished?

comparing jason's "breakdancing" to "ushers" "striptease" is like "comparing apples and oranges". both were fucking classic. this sort of display is so necessary, how else is one to get entertained in dunedin? (why do you all think we spend so much time on ILE? because we LIKE you guys?)sheesh, i think i'll hang with jase more often, is he always this... ermmm...shall we say...comedic?

ed you just don't know how to party.

― di, Friday, 19 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

You are just saying that because you did not get dragged into sustained special hugs. Be careful what you wish for.

oh come on now Menelaus, you know you can't resist a man who wears white pants.

― di, Friday, 19 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

No Di, after a long period of soul searching I have realised that I can indeed resist men in white pants. But I do just love a man who can move well...

― Menelaus Darcy, Friday, 19 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

hey wasn't the usher boy wearing white pants?

― di, Friday, 19 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

They appeared blue under the romantic lighting and strobes. My mistake

― Menelaus Darcy, Friday, 19 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

the sort of breakdancing that makes you look like a total moron is utterly classic.

If break dancing is dancing to the break in a song, what is bridger dancing?

Breakdancing is amazing. Do you guys not UNDERSTAND? Sheesh. I bet you wouldn't even like DDR. One of my favourite 'orrible Mean Fiddler moments was my friend starting a DANCE OFF with some blonde, be- dreaded young chappy. I wish I could breakdance and am considering taking up some kind of SPORT so I could be athletic enough to do it.

I tried a knee drop whilst playing DDR earlier. I put the mat on my bed so I would drop softly. I fell off the bed. IS IT WORTH investing in KNEE PADS I wonder. I could double them up and be a SKATER DUDE and hang out in the place near Stockwell. Or I could GET A LIFE and go to BED.

six years pass...

Passed through a square in Barcelona where some dudes were doing this on Saturday. I didn't even stop - just observed as I walked - and found myself bored to ribbons within about 30 seconds. I am more impressed by someone who is proficient at Guitar Hero than I am by this and I could watch for longer as well. BreakDUDcing.
