I have nothing to contribute except that that is one of my favorite Coen films.

One of the search terms someone used to find my blog was "hoola hoop hernia wii fit ." I couldn't even imagine how that could be possible and laughed when I saw that.

/had hernia
//lost 21 lbs. since buying wii fit
///83 lbs. gone so far

I think the hoola hoop on wii fit is my wifes favorite wii game.

I am surprised how awesome that Coen film was.

/NCFOM was their best drama
//Finally there would be a thingamajig that would bring everyone together, even if it kept them apart spatially.

Those of you who do not like watching young women gyrate their hips around and around and around, please continue bashing hula hoops.

Everyone else please continue not being a joyless gay asshole.

/you know who you are.

Please let hula hoops become popular among well endowed college age girls in bikinis.

Hula hoop girl FTW.

 
sombreradoraloca 2008-07-19 01:45:53 PM  
I always thought it would be funny to do this, but I could never get up the nerve to try to make them go above my chest, then below my chest. Like a hypnotic barbershop pole with boobs.

You know, for the kids!

Sexiest thing on earth = belly dancing while hula hooping.

It's something that can bring people together, while seperating them spacially.

I was going through craigslist jobs (yeah, I know but I just moved to Asheville and I'm still trying to figure out where everything is and what kind of jobs are available) and one girl was advertising herself as Nanny with "Spectacular Hula-Hoop Skills".

Apparently, she has given herself quite a name by her wonderful hula-hoop dancing skills and is willing to pass them on to the children.

I wasn't sure if I should laugh or cry at the family who decides to hire her.

I'll give it six days before crazy parents start to demand bans on them to protect their snowflakes.

I had to check out the comments to make sure that it was a Hudsucker reference.

Start attending music festivals featuring jam bands. Down front and off to one side there is usually an area designated for hoopers.

I know a "hoop dancer." She is the single most annoying hippie I have ever met. And goes by "Hoopalicious."

Laugh and call names, but I've been hooping for about three years. It's excellent cardio, helps straighten my spine, tones the muscles, and besides that, it's fun. Don't knock it 'til ya try it!

Really? Out of context, I'd have given her a second look.

/could never do it
//chick I was with insisted on getting a hoop for when Chuck Berry opened for the Dead. Never exactly understood that....
