Fluffer Friday - The Tango
Today I honour Ferdinand Magellan and all matters South American. On this day in 1520 (that's 489 years ago) Ferdy with his three ships successfully navigated the dangerous waters that separate the Atlantic and the Pacific.
Upon realizing they were the first Europeans to find such a watery path, the crews immediately starting dancing a step that was eventually to overtake South America. Originally known as "The Magellan" it came to be known as "Tango", especially when the crew found women when on shore leave.*
So for Fluffer Friday I give you street dancing in Argentina. Sheesh, it's no wonder the economies down there are always in the tank - why work when you can do this?
*Not all statements herein are facts.
**Note to self: learn to Tango. Chicks must dig this stuff.

yes, I think learning Argentinian tango would certainly make you more attractive. Good video.
It's the unavoidable conclusion, Beautiful. Learn it, I must.
The video mesmerized me; the moves are so complex, so smooth, and oh so effing sexy.
Hot-damn. It's like bonking in public.
Does samba count? I can dance samba...
You can?
Arrrrrrriiiiiba!
I guess it counts. Yeah, I'm sure it does. Can you teach me?
yeap. No problem.
Alrighty then. I have my dancing pumps on, black trousers, black shirt, hair slicked back.
Ready, one, two, three....
Probably best to take the shirt off.
You take it off.
I'm only supossed to teach you samba. I'm not a social worker.
Q: How many social workers does it take to remove a shirt?
A: None. Not until we're sure the buttons are all happy about it.
**Yes, we dig it.
So why does it seem like pole dancing lessons have become more popular than tango lessons?
Can you Tango, Doc?
Pole dancing. Now there's a good topic. I don't know the answer, but it's fun to speculate.
