(You know Jason, you don't have to fly if >they play the wrong music...you can have them correct the >problem...as an announcer I wouldn't think you'd be shy. :-) Gee Mark, I didn't want anyone to be mad at me.. You know how I don't like to make a scene in public. Actually, it was originally a goof on the BAG BOYS, but then Lance and I decided that we actually can fly quads to music and be relativley competitive. Although, we never really expected to win because we thought Dave and Bob would still be around, and Sandy flying with Guildworks we hadn't a chance. Nonetheless, We figured, "HEY, we are competing against the Ultra Men ( a rather good routine but... ), The Bag Boys, and the Bag Ladies" ALL PICKUP TEAMS !!!!!!!!!! >Then there was the Bag Ladies. Maybe it was the launchings from the >paper bags. Maybe it was the Kite Studs' (with bags over head) kick >line. Maybe it was Betty Roundtree falling on her derierre while >shouting the calls and letting out a howl with a southern accent (as >Jason noted) **THAT** was amazing !! How'd she do that ? Most screams are non-region specific. Lemme tell you, not only should I have gotten the right music, but I still contest that accessories ( like paper bags ) are illegal in ballet events. They should only be used for innovative/freestyle competition. AND IN ADDITION - ***ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT THE BAG LADIES CHOREOGRAPHY WAS BETTER THAN OURS?*** *** WHAT ABOUT THE TECHNICAL PERFORMANCE ?!? Don't ground touches and crashes count anymore ? What about improper endings ? arrgh... Well, I have fained being upset long enough.. Actually more power to the Bag Ladies, if nothing else, I get to make " OLD BAG" jokes for at least 4 more events. 8-) >I wonder if Dave Arnold has recovered yet from the group hug >(mauling) he received from the Bag Ladies when presenting the plaque. I hear that he is recouperating nicely, all cards can be sent to his house. Sherrie will be happy to bring them to him when she takes his pureed liver shake up to him. If all goes well, he'll be competeting again by NYSKC. JJ = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
