Yeah, our clan chief is a little slow about that sort of thing... He hasn't yet turned it over to me. If he would, I'd get things done. But he's very controlling and dominant... which I suppose is why he's the chief...

Um... I'm going to have that image stuck in my head when I go to the games in Montana this weekend. Thanks so much for that...

Nothing too confusing about combo. The Gypsies (Romani people) of Turkey and Kurdistan have been involved in "belly dance" since the early 1500s. Many professional dancers and musicians in Turkey continue to be of Romani heritage.

Not the one Michael mentioned, but here's some photos!

Ask these girls and they'll tell you, Sunscreen is a big part of their costume!

I noticed a fellow wearing the same shirt walking towards me in the crowd. As he came close enough, I saw his lower half was covered by...

Wait for it....

Bermuda Shorts.

I guess he was making some sort of statement.

I saw him too. I told him it was false advertising and his friends told him that now he had to put on a kilt.

Were they real Bermuda Shorts, or fake ones?

How do you say "promenade across the room followed up with a grapevine twist" in Welsh?
