"
I was drugged!
I distinctly remember the beer served the night before as having a strange odor and sulfur taste. For the following two days I felt drawn to waving hankies. I believe Joe and I were taught a Sherborne jig (Go enlist for a sailor) while dancing shirtless. I think I danced backward, sideways while lifting my feet in some kind of organized manner. I don't know if there are any photos of this, I think Tess even got some of this on video... I know I hate to admit it, but I think my nipples were hard through the whole Sherborne jig experience.

Even more disturbing... I'd do it again! I believe that if we were to add some jigs and dances that involve some stepping, we could further increase our repertoire. The "Go enlist for a sailor" is a wonderful song with very nice accompanying lyrics; http://criticaltechnology.blogspot.com/2011/06/lyrics-for-ill-go-and-list-for-sailor.html"
