Hustle and Flow

Today is all about the Hustle, if you don't like it you can skip it. You know like skipping work, skipping school, skipping stones, and of course like PG said skip to my lou. But do you know the last verse to Skip to my Lou?

Skip, skip, skip to the Lou,
Skip, skip, skip to the Lou,
Skip, skip, skip to the Lou,
Skip to the Lou, my darlin'.
Off to Texas,
Two by two,
Off to Texas,
Two by two,
Off to Texas,
Two by two,
Skip to my Lou, the darlin'.
Couples would dance around a lone male who sang "lost my partner, what'll I do." At the appropriate point in the lyrics, he would "steal" the partner of a dancing man as he sang "I'll find another one prettier than you."

And Lou? It is corruption of the Scottish word -loo or love.

Oh just skip it -- moving on.

There was a whole lot of moving and not a lot of grooving despite what gets out to the media over the last weekend. We've got three different reports, sightings and wayward children in various locations with various people. Continuity people! Come on hire a better script supervisor. Native American warriors shouldn't wear wrist watches in the Old West, and beards can't be trimmed and then all grow back in, in hours. Continuity!

Ok maybe just skip the continuity thing and get get on to skipping.

Skipping? Seriously. When's the last time anyone's skipped? What 7? By then you've realized - what the heck am I doing. But a couple skipping down the street? Next time we will hear about running in field of flowers in the English countryside. Or sweeping up on horseback all Darcy like. Ohhhhh Mr. Darcy... WAIT just skip that part...

Now Jake may get his skip on by himself. Can anyone say Lemon Twist. Oh yeah... that's right... going old school.... with the lemon twist - which later actually got the name change to Skip It. Hours of fun jumping and bumping, skipping swirling twirling. Hey! that's what the package says.

Skip it. Skip it good.

But actually Jake did skip it. He skipped out of town as soon as he could. And yeah he was hustling. Right back to London?

Now for more Halloween Hijinks, or costumes (fancy dress as they say in the UK) for Jakey.

Its all getting your dance on Jakey. And what better choices than:

Tony Manero - from Saturday Night Fever. Some time in the chair with those dark long locks Jake could get the hair lookiiinnnng gooooood. Just add the white suit and gold chain. Come on Jake's got the moves from disco club and he can sing his own accompaniment of Bee Gees' songs.

Next - Total Laker Dancer. You know he's thinking it as he's jogging. "I got the yellow shirt and the purple headband, I'm tight, toned, conditioned and I can even do a split after all this stuff for Prince of Persia. If Paula can I can. And my hair looks really good bouncing to the beat. " And yeah he's got spirit fingers. You know got that from Kiki. BRING IT ON!
