Oh, THIS Bunny thing

I know the Ukrainian/Russian version, lets say tha slavic one as I'm from Poland.

*hop, hop, kick, kick*

...and in Finland we call this dance 'Jenkka'!

*joins the hop, hop, kick, kick*

The greeks have a similar dance except they form a circle and put a hand on the shoulder of the person on each side and start into kicking and kicking ..and then all hell breaks out and they start throwing plates.

Ah, Poland. Question: How do you pronounce Zoltys?
Is it the main unit of currency or a coin, part of a larger unit?
Or are you gonna have Euros now too.
That's 3 questions but as no one here is qualified to judge your answers there will be no prizes awarded.

*sings, from Fiddler On The Roof*
If I were a rich man,
yubba dubba dubba dubba...
*dances in circle throwing plates everywhere*

anyone for the 'time warp'?

time wrap???

As for your question john: it's Zloty not Zolty. Pronounce like 'zloutees'. It's our main currency, 1 Zloty has 100 Groszy (pron. like groshee), you have it as coins (1 Zloty, 2 Zlotys, 5 Zlotys) and as banknotes (10, 20, 50, 100 and 200). And yes, we do operate with Euro, but still not in shops, cause unfortunately Poland isn't in the European Community, yet

Groszy ..yes thank you, I knew there was another word.
Like pennies and cents, 100 to the dollar. Thanks.

In Canada we have a one dollar coin called a Loonie because it has a 'loon' on it.
When inflation made it necessary for us to have a $2 coin we called it the Toonie. (Two-nee)
(It has a polar bear on it.)

yeah, the first time i went to canada, that really screwed with me. loonies and toonies? that's bugs bunny and elmer fudd. i still have a hard time calling them loonies and toonies (your currency that is). i guess it's an american thing.

kasia, i meant the time warp. like in rhps?

*it's just a jump to the left
and then a step to the right
put your hands on your hips
bring your knees in tight
it's the pelvic thrust
that really drives you insane
let's do the time warp again!*

Alright! Let's time - warp. Can I be Frank? I have all my stockings stuff in the car. Hold on, I'll be right back...

*comes back dressed in (what the heck are Strumpfhosen in english? panty hose?) with heavy makeup* Sooh! Howe dou I look? Let's dance! DJ! The time-warp!

*singing along*:
it's astounding
time is fleeting
madness takes it's toll
in another dimension
with voyeuristic intention
I've got to keep control
it's a jump to the left and a step to the right
put your hands on your hips and bring your knees in tight
it's the pelvic thrust that really drives you insane
let's do the time warp again

~ Bassman hears the timewarp at max volume as he passes by Mickey Thomas's place and can't resist the chance to rejoin the party ~

~ Sings ~

Let's do the timewarp again.

~ Putting on his most vampish RHPS voice ~

Darlings, if I'd known this sort of thing was going on, I would have never left. I asked nothing of you - and you gave it to me in abundance!!

Bassman

I've got a picture of me at home, all dressed and ready to go to the RHPS - cross my palm with silver and I might post it at my space for your delectation!! (Or not)

oh, are we doing costume?
*thinks of how easy it would be to be janet (slut!)*

picture, hmmmm? i think i might just have a shiny 1902 silver dollar here in a pocket somewhere......
*finds coin, and a brand new shiny dime, tucks both into the pocket of bassman's jeans*
did i cross your palm on the way to that pocket?

*sings*
lets do the time warp again!

it's just a jump to the left.....

*discovers she's suddenly wearing tap shoes*

well i was walkin' down the street just a havin' a bang
when a snake of a guy gave me an e-ball wink
he shooka me up, he took me by surprise
he had a pickup truck and the devil's eyes
he stared at me and i felt a change
time meant nothin' never would again

*tap solo*

lets do the time warp again!

How did that feel? Getting a silver dollar tucked in your yeans pocket!?! You don't need any more convincing, do you? If do you, I can have a look in my pockets if I have any silver money with me and slide that in your pocket as well... (That _is_ a threat! (Poor guy)

*dancing on*

Can we have that other song too? The one with the tension? I forget the name...

tension? not sure which one that is, but my second favorite is...

*in best (still not too good) soprano voice*
toucha toucha toucha touch me
i wanna feel dirty
thrill me chill me fulfill me
creature of the night

was it something i said?

*turns sadly for the door, as it seems the party really is over.*

*stops at the bar to make one last pggb 'to go'*

The party isn't over yet is it?

OK Brolean, I'll have to see if I can find that pic. I haven't got time today, I'm away until next week, I'll see what I can do then.
