Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for October 15, 2020

watch out for soccer balls to the noggin

No, no, wait! That’s actually a good idea. Quick! Patent it or copyright it or something!

Actually some soccer moves are very similar to ballet if you look at the reruns in slo-motion.

Too funny! And deep. The moral? maybe “don’t be too prideful.” Or not?

She looks like Danny Kaye faking the flamenco: “Stand…and stand…and stand.” But flamenco is all about the splendid posture, elevated ribs etc.

Twyla Tharp used baseball moves in dances, decades ago. Beautiful to watch.

Beni, you usually have such great control over that ba…omyomy did I say too much?

“Elevated Ribs”? Is that related to a “Heaving Bosom”?

Actually, Alice should be appreciative of the fact that Dill’s trying to bail her out of a less than artistic endeavor.

Pride goeth before a fall. Truly.

Alice you have to play it up to the refs

Oh, no. Oh, no. Run. Run for your lives! There’s a STORM COMING!

Oooh, did Beni soccer?

Our manhole covers are all in the street around here. However, there are plenty of sewer drains upon which to stand…

Alice, you play Dodgeball Ballet with such aplomb!

Well, not really “aplomb” so much as “a BOMP”!

(Okay; I’ll shut up now.)

Beni, we hardly knew ye… ☺

A soccer ball to the head never hurt anybody, but it has resulted in some beautiful goals.

Dill, I hope you’re good at dodge-Alice ballet.

In our PC world, “Manhole” seems insensitive; I suppose renaming 50% of them to “Womanhole” still wouldn’t be acceptable…

she can dish it out but she can’t take it!

Classic!

I used to do this.
