1. First Nations jig? Isn’t … that … cultural … appropriation?

   1. Hey those dang Metis were made by White Men.

   2. Kenji, the very first thought that popped into my mind.

   3. Yes. And it was delightful. Cultures should be shared, enjoyed by all.

      1. And of course, you know I fully agree with you. I thoroughly enjoy Pho … although I don’t really have any interest in visiting VietNam.

2. Protests in France….

   300,000 in Amsterdam.
   Tens of thousands in Montreal.
   Strange silence out of Australia.

   I’m less and less worried about vaccine passports. I’m more and more excited about revolution. Who falls first?

   Whenever I run through town, I say to people in a friendly manner “I tell people I’m getting in shape for the revolution. No one seems to complain.”

   And no one seems to complain…

   1. Off topic much? Try the daily tips.

      1. Here’s something on topic: pull the corncob out of your @ss.

         1. No Doug, bring your own snacks.

3. WOW! Either the second guy to join is a super athlete in a fat suit, or he’s hiding an anti-gravity device under his shirt.

4. What a happy moment. Thanks Francisco! That put a smile on my face.

   1. C-Miner – I agree. They did a great job. You don’t dance a jig or whatever that was that we’ll if you don’t practice a lot unless they have incredible natural rhythm.

5. So, 2 guys who can’t figure out how to walk in a normal manner .

   1. Trust the Scots to come up with a way to dance without spilling your drink.

      1. I rather thought that was Irish which – given the teepee – would be definite cultural appropriation. Everyone out west knows the Metis are a combo of either Québecois or the Scots who were the backbone of the NorthWesters.

         1. I’m used to hearing it referred to as “Highland dancing”. Are there highlands in Ireland?

            (what can I say, I’m ignorant on some things. Actually, on many things. Which I don’t talk about so that normally folks won’t know. But I’d rather admit ignorance and learn than assume I know it all and be thought an Allan S.)

            (Me-Eww moment? That’s a Scottish cat, if you were wondering…)

            1. CM, it was Highland dancing where I was born. Mostly all Scots ancestry.

            2. That was 100% Irish jig. If you know Highland dancing you will know it is a slower rhythm and the foot placement is wider and more sweeping.

            3. Kelly, unless there is a fiddle involved and you live in Cape Breton.

            4. Thanks Kelly. I know of Highland dancing, and the jig is well known, but I haven’t / hadn’t a clue as to the differences.

         2. well maybe those 2 guys had some scotch in them:-)))

            1. (HIC!) I’ll have you know I represent that line of thinking!

6. I think things like this are basically the lady things they can take from us. Little snippets of joy. Try and lock that down you bastards.

7. Metis is any combo of White Man and Native.
   White Man made Metis. Its like Obama he is half WHITE MAN or maybe even more.

8. There will one day be a line of thousands all waiting to do that very dance on Hillary’s grave.

9. Fun to watch two guys having fun. Clearly they’ve done this before. Thanks.

10. Years ago I remember watching a Metis program on TV and half of it was 6 year olds doing the Red River jig, one after the other. Not a fiddler but that music doesn’t seem to be the Red River Jig but it is close. If you ask a real Metis whether a random coupling of a white person and an Indian produce a Metis, they will call bullshit. A Metis is an ancestor of a French/Indian mating in the Canadian west before it was part of Canada. Scottish/Indian couplings used to be called Scotch Halfbreeds. Metis was a distinct culture but today likely have as much Ukrainian ancestry as Indian. A family I know with a name that rode with Riel are blond blue eyed half Ukrainians.

    1. “A Metis is an ancestor of a French/Indian mating”

       Actually a descendant.

11. I wonder if this video was taken shortly after the Bombers beat the Riders? I know I was trying to dance after the game. I may not be dancing after the Elks meet the Stamps.

12. That was simply delightful. Thanks.

13. Put a smile upon my face.
    Thank you.

14. absolutely great. ty

    the only time I moved like that was when I dropped a ciggarette but in my crotch

15. Sweet!

16. Those boys is light on their feets!
