Sometimes a post is just so brilliant, post of the day isn't quite enough to describe how great it was, so I thought a post of the series thread may be good - perhaps we can have a virtual glitterball as the prize?

I will post below a post made which some others found so good they felt it was worthy of a 'post of the series' title - please feel free to add your own nominations.

By Oicho Throw on the 'Kevin from Grimsby' Thread

I really, really loved that Paso to a quite unreasonable degree. I think it was how utterly mental it was, compared to the milquetoast pisstake efforts of the other pros.

Like, for a while now it's been a running joke on Strictly - ooooh er, how're you gonna do the big scary Spanish bull dance - and you get stuff like Richard Armchair mincing around as a zombie, or Iveta's disco-spaceman thing, or Ashley's cowboy thingy, and it's all a bit, like, well we know we're ballroom dancers but even we're too cool to take this silly bull thing seriously so it's going to be either a gimmick or ironic detachment kthx and you end up with these self-consciously zany approaches to what usually is a bit of a nothing dance.

BAM

KEVIN FROM MOTHER****ING GRIMBSY

95lbs of glitter, lurid Spandex and spring loaded pipe cleanrs is going to BOUNCE AROUND LIKE A BASTARD because THIS IS A GODDAMNED PASO DOBLE YOU WRETCHES! AND HE IS GOING TO BE SERIOUS ABOUT IT BECAUSE IT'S HIS JOB. He has spent the series looking like a nice teenager who's decent enough to dance with his mother at a cousin's wedding, and then BAM this week they are replaced by a couple of horny murderers! Stalking! Bouncing! Flips! Spinning! A big cape! THE MOST SPANISH OUTFITS. FLAMENCO BREAKDOWNS. THE MOST BULLFIGHTY SONG IN THE ENTIRE MUSICAL LEXICON. SUSANNA REID WAFTING LIKE HER LADYPARTS WERE AFLAME. YAAAAH. STAREDOWNS LIKE TWO PRO WRESTLERS WHO'VE JUST SPOTTED THEIR MORTAL ENEMIES HOLDING THEIR WIFE'S GARTERS. OLÉ, YA GIT!

That, my friends, is WORKMANSHIP. None of your "new spin on it" malarkey, none of that rubbish. He went and did the MOST PASO DOBLE a PASO COULD POSSIBLY BE. Even if he actually killed a bull using a big sword live on the telly it would STILL NOT BE MORE PASO.

MAKES ME BLOODY PROUD TO BE BRITISH, and I say that as a dirty lefty Britain-hating scumbag!

Mr. Fromgrimsby, Ms or Mrs Reid - I salute you both!

No-one will ever dare post in Post of the day after this...

Oicho Throw is on fire tonight, also love this from Oicho in the 5 thoughts thread

1. Kevin From Grimsby's dance credentials are even more impressive, now that I know how long he's been standing on my granny's mantelpiece, on a little plinth that says " A Present From Malaga".

2. As soon as the Twister mat was pictured, I semi expected the envy and hatred of gay men and frustrated housewives up and down the country to make Kristina explode, Scanners-style.

3. Dresden. Hiroshima. 9/11. The Black Death. And now, whatever happened to Natalie's hair. It is the best barnet in the history of follicular filamentous biomaterial. Why would you replace it with an oily dead pigeon?

4. Of all the times to do a really clumsy lift, during the line "LET'S FLY AWAY" in the song "Come Fly With Me" in an airport-themed dance while you're dressed like a pilot is definitely a good'un.

5. Len prefacing every critique with "YA'VE CAHM AHT HERE" is now making me wonder what happens if they DON'T come out here. Is a ballroom dance, done in the comfort of one's own living room, still eligible for competition purposes?

He's the poster equivalent of Natalie Gumede, a dirty ringah of a poster! It's alright we mere mortals are still allowed to nominate other lesser minions. And this is the Post Of The Series, not of the day, mind.

Hello, mate!

Oicho Throw's post is so superb, I had no choice but to break my self-imposed exile from forums in order to take my hat off to him and add my most sincere salutations to those already offered!

Scintillating writing! (add applauding icon of choice)
