If you were to stand up, back away from the computer, →[More:] and move to the center of the room, could you accurately perform the electric slide?
Having seen videos of me attempting certain fairly obvious dance steps, I realize I have a talent for making any form of dancing indistinguishable from involuntary muscle spasm. Also, I have a relatively small room with things imposing into the 'center' of it. I could only have sufficient room for such an experiment if I went outside in front of my apartment, and then, based on my first statement, my neighbors would probably just call 911, believing I was having seizures.
Very well. I propose the following plan. TPS shall be known as North/West and take the Left front corner of the group. Msali shall be South/West, Miko South/East (giving her two turns of the wheel before the group follows her, and I shall take North/East. The rest of you, disperse yourself in between the corners. Now. Everybody try to remember to smile.
In case we ever all find ourselves in such a situation. Wedding, "Win It In A Minute" type challenge, The Depths of Hell.
Other ideas and further self-reporting is encouraged.
lonefrontranger, that was cool. It was a similar event - not recorded - at my office today that inspired the post - I held an impromtu clinic. As you can see, there is no actual sliding required, unless you choose to style it up. Funny.
Alright, I just did it to lfr's link. I accidentally kicked the dog, but did not trip over her. She had the good sense to get out of my way after one whole way around.
