Drunk Dancing Guide
I can dance pretty well for a brown man, but when I’m drunk severe lack of judgment leads me to think I’m Tony Manero from Saturday Night Fever. I’ve fallen from tables, bottle have been shattered under my feet, and left the ladies utterly horrified impressed. The next morning was met with pains in my legs, back, and sometimes my manhood.
Suffice to say, in order to minimize any collateral damage that may result from your drunken dancing, the good people at Slosh Spot have put together a brief guide with some of the most common maneuvers, how to use them, and when to use them.
The Worm
Instructions: Lay on stomach. Flail legs up and down, while moving your torso forward with your hands. This resembles a worm trying to move forward.
The worm takes more commitment than any other regulation dance out there. It also requires the performer to lie down on the dance floor. This shows a dedication to one’s craft, but also may end up completely ruining one’s clothes. Please use this maneuver with discretion, and watch for any broken glass. If you are able to do this dance well, there’s a good chance that after you’re done a crowd of your peers will raise you above their shoulders and declare you the best dancer in the club.
Milking the Cow
Instructions: Raise and extend arms at shoulder level, then put your hands up to create a 90-degree at your elbows. Rhythmically pantomime the milking of a cow above your head. Get into the beat with your legs, and don’t be afraid to bob your head and accentuate with your shoulders to get this all to make sense.
A general rule of thumb is that no heterosexual man should ever dance with both his hands above his head, but this dance is currently the only known exception. Think of this dance as a last resort, because there is virtually no sex appeal. You may get some people laugh at what you are doing, or maybe even solicit some positive attention due to the fact that you simply do not give a fuck.

Fastest Gun in the West
This dude can mess you up. Fast.
The annual Wildlife Photographer of the Year Competition finds the very best wildlife images taken by the world’s top professional and amateur photographers.
Here are some of the winners from the Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2008 competition.
Overall Winner – Snowstorm Leopard
This most striking photo was taken by Steve Winter (United States of America) after spending 10 months and a winter with little snow in Ladakh’s Hemis High Altitude National Park, India.
Snow leopards are adapted to life in the mountains of central Asia. They have long, waterproof outer fur, dense woolly under-fur and large nasal cavities that warm the air as they breathe it in. This allows them to survive temperatures as low as -40°C. But the leopards can also tolerate the heat of the Gobi Desert, where temperatures can reach 40°C.
Creative Visions of Nature Winner – Polar Sunrise
This photo taken by Miguel Lasa (United Kingdom) shows a bear backlit by the first rays of sunlight.
During winter, polar bears live on the frozen seas of the Arctic. In summer, in areas where the ice melts completely like Canada’s Hudson Bay, they spend months ashore living on a variety of foods. They will also swim in the water and catch birds. By the time the seas freeze again in autumn they are eager for fresh seal-meat.
Animal Behaviour: Birds – Osprey Snatch
This specially commended photo by Paul Hobson (United Kingdom) was taken from hide overlooking a lake in Pohtiolampi, Finland.
Ospreys hover over water then dive, plunging into the shallows to grab prey. They have special feet to hold onto slippery fish scales: the soles are covered in spines and one talon can move so the bird can grip either side of the fish.
Ten years and under – Great Tits and Teasels
This photo from Baptiste Drouet (France) won the runner-up prize in the 10 years and under section of the Junior awards.
Great tits are a woodland bird found across Europe and Asia, but many have adapted to urban gardens. In rural areas they eat insects, but urban populations supplement their diet with bird seed put out by humans. Tits can be aggressive at bird tables, fighting off other smaller birds.
One Earth Award Winner – Sacrifice
Taken by David Maitland (United Kingdom), this disturbing photo shows a Gabon black colobus monkey being tossed onto an open fire to strip off the fur.
A cloud of acrid smoke filled the air. Then, the glossy jet-black fur caught fire, crinkled and crisped up, and fell off as dust. It was deeply upsetting.’ Black colobus monkeys have a distinct, high-pitched roar and frequently call to each other, so human hunters can easily track them down. This helps to make them one of the 10 most threatened primate species in Africa.
You can see more photos from the competition at the Natural History Museum’s Online Gallery.
If you live in Cape Town, the Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2008 exhibition will be at the Iziko South African Museum (25 Queen Victoria Street Cape Town) until 15 March 2009. Entrance is R15 and well worth it.
Since its launch in 2005, Uncyclopedia, an addictive parody of Wikipedia, has grown into a formidable wiki.
It is the content-free encyclopedia that anyone can edit, and according to co-founder Jonathan Huang, there are two main rules at Uncyclopedia: 1) Be funny and not just stupid, and 2) Don’t be a dick. BUT if you’re being funny and being a dick, chances are your entry may stay. In any case, it is the masses that decide what’s funny, with users and admins constantly on the prowl for quality assurance.
Uncyclopedia has an extensive Howto section from which I have learnt a lot more than I should admit to:
- HowTo:Kill Yourself With A Brick
- HowTo: Be a Gangsta
- HowTo: Cheat at Scrabble
- HowTo: Defend Yourself from a Hedgehog
Dive into a whole new world of unknowledge at Uncyclopedia.
