afaik...lol

...the next slumdog millionaire? Can this film sweep the Oscars in 2009?

I heard on NPR about this odd thingy from England called Morris dancing where middle age men wear bells, frills, strange hats and dance around, waving handkerchiefs, or performing what appears to be medieval lightsaber duels with sticks!

Well, now this Morris Dancing is a major motion picture for 2009!! Prepare to stand hours in line to see "Morris: A Life With Bells On" yep.gif

It is naught without the Dark Morris.

We saw a morris dancing group years ago at Aylesbury who performed in and around the stone circle.They were all dressed in black outfits which were made by hanging strips of fabric off their clothes.They all had blacked out faces or animal masks and had guitars and drums for the music.They were awesome.It turned out they were on the same camp-site as we were so we ended up partying with them for the night.What a brilliant way to do bank holidays.

But i must admit i like seeing Morris men.Plus they only do it for the beer.A pint at each pub is the rules.
