What? No comments? Mr. Mookie and Wolf must be on vacation…

“Boot scoot your boogies?” Sounds painful!

Just trying to give some alliteration… : ) Do you watch SYTYCD? Mr. Mookie and Wolf seem to have jumped ship on me today.

No, I can’t tear myself away from The Discovery Channel or Cartoon Network.

But I betcha my mom does! She seems to be hooked on those network TV reality shows. I’ll have to ask her.

It’s a good one. I don’t usually watch reality shows, excluding America’s Next Top Model (for the cheese factor - those girls are funny, but I don’t think they mean to be), and SYTYCD. The dancers are really talented people just trying to catch a break to gain some attention. They’ll still never really be famous, but they’ll be able to make a living doing what they love. It shows in every episode, how much they want to live their dream.

On vacation? Not me..

It is the “mating season” around my house..

I like to wait til the hottest part of the year..so when she turns me down..I aint really that disappointed..

I dont watch much reality TV..however I did enjoy that “Mickey Mouse Afro Dude” last night..and the lil guy with Down Syndrome..

That big girl with the socks on that did that Jazz type dance..funky yet flexible..she could easily become my next ex-wife..

I loved the little DS guy! He had such spunk! He was actually a pretty talented dancer in his own right. The mickey mouse afro dude though, holy cow he was bad. I though Mary did herself proud the way she handled it. I thoroughly despised the little beauty queen though. Her voice just irritated me.

Have you heard from Mr. Mookie? He didn’t get arrested or anything did he?

I havent heard from the Mookster..but I recall him saying something about the family vacation..and the boat..in one of his posts..

Hopefully he is kicking back on the boat sucking down a cold one..and thinking of us..

I know one thing about that show...there are a few gals on there with legs to die for..and can dance like you aint never seen..

The lil beauty queen was more than I could handle..I think Nigel called it Stepford Dancing..He is as cool as Simon Cowell at times..*LOL*

Yeah, he pegged it perfectly. She did look a little “I’m a lucky girl, I’m a lucky girl, I’m a lucky girl...” huh? Please tell me you get that reference to one of the Stepford sequels (the robotic children, I believe)… I can’t be the ONLY person in America who watched it.

Oh I got it alright..I knew exactly what he meant..

So far my favorite was the lil man with Down Syndrome..the spirit that guy carries around with him is unbelievable..

I told my wife.."Man I hope he is good”..after seeing his intro footage..She said “He probably wont be..the poor thing”..within seconds after he started dancing she was withdrawing that statement..she was impressed with his moves and his drive..I was over the moon with the lil fella when he finished dancing but was moved to near tears just listening to him afterwards..

What a guy!

The conversation at my house was nearly the same. I was glad the judges were honest, but kind to him. I would have really been angry if they had been mean. But luckily they’ve only been mean thus far to people who deserve it. I can’t wait to see what the rest of the season holds. If the try outs are this good the rest of the season should be awesome. I was a little disappointed to hear a rumor that choreographer Wade Robson might not be returning to the show. I hope they don’t replace him with that awful Mandy Moore. I can’t watch her cheesy little bobbleheaded self each week. At least Wade choreographs interestingly to make up for his “artistic” foibles.

Ok, I am trying to follow these blogs, but if the Florence Morning News changes their web site one more time, that’s it for me. It seems like it’s different every week.
I don’t watch the dancing show, but do teach special ed, so I have a lot of down syn. kids. They love to dance, feel affection, etc.
And keeping up with Lost is a major thing right now. LOL

Mandy Moore is along the same lines as Paula Abdul...they both suck severly..and cant seem to speak in full sentences..

I didnt get a chance to watch it all last night..just the first girl from Atlanta..she was pretty awesome..I do however have it recorded..so hopefully I can finish watching it tonight..

Becky...why dont you just book-mark the blog in your favorites..then you wont have to go to the Morning News website everytime you want to check out the blogs..

Ok, good idea.

Welcome to blogging, Becky! My friend here at the office is a fan of Lost. She was just telling me about the season finale last night and when she asked with some degree of exasperation “Now what am I going to watch on Thursday’s?” I answered with a big grin… So You Think You Can Dance? : )
I’m converting the world, one person at a time.

About the boy with DS on SYTYCD, his love of dance was obvious from the moment he stepped on stage. And his reasons for going on the audition (to prove that disabled people can do anything the desire) were stupendous. He truly is an ambassador.

About our website, this should be the last of the changes for now. But I agree with Wolf, just add our blog site to your favorites. It is scnowcommunity.com. That will take directly to the blog homepage. SCNow.com will take you straight to our news homepage. Thanks for reading and happy posting!

Wolf, make sure you check out Brandon Bryant from last night. He is one of the most amazing dancers I have ever seen. His style is a tweak, a very small tweak, effeminate. But since his training focused primarily on ballet, I guess that stands to reason. He is a very dynamic dancer. He could very well go all the way in the competition.

I’ll keep an eye out for Brandon when we watch it tonight..Thanks for the heads-up..

Mookie didnt get arrested..he is posting on other blogs..

From one of his posts..I have learned that he is fat..old..has short hair and doesnt wear hip huggers or bell bottoms..

(Note to Jackie): He aint Drew Carey..*LOL*

Just like I always had him pictured in my mind..

Poor Mr. Mookie. I just read one of his posts (and yours) on Nick’s blog. I concur. I bet he still owns a powder blue suit with a ruffled shirt somewhere in the back of his closet… Ya think?

Right along with 3 inch platform shoes..

I would have loved to have known him in the disco days..

I will have to say this for the ole boy...over the years..he is the funniest person I have ever crossed paths with on-line..never met the guy..but he makes me laugh like nobody else can..

The guy has talent..

Amen! Preach it Brother Wolf! : )

Your post reminds me of what made Mookie famous..

His opening line used to be..

“I hate going to church”..he would go on to explaining in detail about how his wife makes him go..I literally had tears streaming down my face reading his posts..

He reminds me of a modern day Archie Bunker..

I wish I could be just like him..

OK. Need everyones help. My son found a cat. We can’t keep it. If you know of anyone who has lost or is looking for a cat, let us know.
It is a grey and black male and has no collar.
He’s not very friendly and he’s not house broken.
I took a pic and provided a link.

Nice, Mr. Mookie. Really nice… It’s a good thing I wasn’t drinking anything when I looked at that pic… I would have ruined my keyboard!! : )

Of course coming from you, I should have known it had to be something funny like that.

Guess you had to try to keep up with Wolf’s image of you as the funny one. Are you two related? You and Wolf, I mean. Not you and the ‘possum. ; )

Don’t get me started. You know what will happen?

Wow, I hope you’re not having that kind of day. Especially the one with the deer butt sticking out of the windshield. That looked a little painful. : )

Well I’m heading out for the day. Hope all you guys have a great weekend!
