we need a new thread muddy wet and dumb

We are warming up actually, prior to having a very serious discussion. Athletes do it before they go for it. There could be serious brain strain if anyone throws themselves immediately into a frenzied analytical debate. It won't take much longer now so don't worry.

The next level of serious discussion should not begin until a consensus is reached on the question:

Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

To rule out answers succeeding by 50% pot luck, an answer should explain how it was derived.

That's easy. The egg.
I'd like to invite discussion of the following : Should it be compulsory, for all pro dancers who are nor eg Flavia and Vincen,t to take lessons re the Argentinian tango, before trying to teach a celeb to do it.
I was quite impressed by the few Greek dancing moves Jason did ie the smacking of his heels but I couldn't relate that to the AT.

To start off with it would be handy to know what guidelines the pro dancers are given for the choreography.

I've suggested to a couple of people that they ask olivej if she would mind getting that info from Aliona - but alas no luck thus far.

Neither.

The cockerel came first as he laid the chicken.

chips maybe?

I think that answers the critics, proving that serious debate can illuminate our lives.
Yes, it would be interesting to know what the pro dancers briefs, are, re the AT. That one might be for Jim.

Surely sparkly ones!?

I submit that the said moves were via Flamenco, originating on the Iberian Peninsula, and consequently performed in the seedy bordellos of Buenos Aires by sweaty Gauchos, where a Greek sailor adopted it as his 'party piece' aboard the Wooden Horse while he awaited his invitation behind the Trojan Walls.
Simples when you know your history

Sparkly ? That could be due to static electricity.
I must say that we have made a strenuous effort here to make room for serious debate. It has yet to bear fruit but I live in hope. Have seen a similar technique employed by Bill Oddie, to temporarily catch moths.

There was no sex going at the dawn of life, bacteria have no gender. It must have been very boring. Early creatures who wanted to do ballroom were like today's women, they could find no partners.

Sex was invented much later, with many claiming to this day to be the inventor of sex.

If we could communicate with bacteria, in a meaningful discussion, perhaps we'd discover that were some seedy gauchos amongst them billions and billions of years ago when even Len, hadn't yet twinkled a toe.
Indeed, there might even be a few of those specimens that still survive to this day and they are probably to be found in seedy bordellos or as we call them these days, 'clubs'.
This is the cause of many women having to dance together around their handbags.

Where are you Jason,
now that we are on the Meaning of Life.

Then came Noah who built his ark to take dancing couples,but was ordered to take animals instead and as Bill Bailey said, those bacteria went on two by two.....no,four....no,eight.....no,sixteen........

not trying to curry favour here but didnt bacteria come from eggs?

so can I claim my house point and blue star proving egg came first

Nah - I claim the house point and blue star because the chicken came first. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencete...cientists.html

Though I will probably have to forfeit the star because I found the article in the Daily Fail online.

Also found this old joke, which I shall put in spoiler tags as I had to confirm I'm an adult before reading it online. So, only click on the spoiler if you are an adult:

The yolks on you,did it not come from a sausage? I'm sure It was Ed's wiener.


Relax,I've seen that one used on a greetings card in full view

I thought it was about SCD stage show with a lab(rador)... so I came in for doggy pics...

Julian Clary was several series ago.

A common misconception - it was Frank's furter

Is Frank boasting again?

Charmaine, the thread title SCD Theatre and Lab is coded advertisement for a theatre with lap dancing.

To get in you need to correctly answer the bouncer's question: "How little are his thoughts worth?"

This is to protect innocents from unintentionally stumbling in here and reading something too terrible for them. They will never be the same again.

We all have hidden depths and we needed an outlet

One of the most interesting facts I've learned from watching professor Brian Cox is that he has had scotch eggs covered with black pudding instead of sausagemeat. Very tasty !
That made wonder if there's anything I've learned from SCD that can compare with that black pudding revelation.
A few things that might compare - are that apparently, a bodega, is dance step and also, it is so called because it is frequented by sweaty gauchos. A gancho however, is what a sweaty cowboy is called when he;s on a rancho. A botofogo, is a disease one gets from eating a dodgy scotch egg and it comes from the word, 'bacteria' plus it relates to botulism.
