Official State Dance of Western Kentucky

I thought I would treat those select few for whom this blog is of some small entertainment value to a tour de force in choreography.  The above sequence from Dancing with the Almost Stars is my version of the Official State Dance of Western Kentucky.  I think they refer to it colloquially as “The Spidey Jerk.”  I don’t think the name refers to me personally but then I am a proponent of positive thinking.  The place is over run with incredibly fast moving small spiders. The little suckers propagate webs between any two vertical surfaces and they do it in an amazingly short time span.  I watched one speedster drop down from the roof to my aft rail, a distance of about 8 feet, in about 3 seconds flat and then make the climb back up spinning a second line in about 5 seconds.  Do the math… lots of webs in mere minutes.  The folks down here, however, are in full confrontation mode having elected to use the nuclear option to combat the proliferation of said webs.  Pictured below is yours truly with just such a devastating Weapon of Mass (web) Destruction. The really good news?  It only took me about a week to find it.  Eat your heart out Dick Cheney, Paul Wolfowitz, Donald Rumsfeld, and the rest of that Unholy Cabal.
