Dribble of Snail.

•

For that hard-to-buy-for someone -- Baba de caracol, translated by the manufacturer as "dribble of snail."

The studies have verified that the dribble of snail allows to prevent
and to eliminate wrinkles, to attenuate grooves, to eliminate scars
caused for wounded and burns of first degree, to remove the acne, to
clean spots produced by the sun. It has also demonstrated to be
effective to eliminate warts of the skin.

Via gimcrack, where Nurse Myra has many more snail-related factoids.

The best part is the almost painfully obvious photoshop job where the words were put onto the front of an apparently empty jar. . . that ruins the credability for me right there.

there used to be lots of ads about this thing in my country. But one day they stopped airing because everyone found out it didn't do anything... plus, it wasn't really from snails.

If I could do this, I'd rock.

However, I have the coordination of a banana, so I don't think I would be very good at this.

I think these dancers are amazing and there are more lindy-hoppers today than you might think.

*heh* I happened to have my iPod on and just watching the video and the song that started at exactly the same time I hit play on this video was the Beastie Boys Body Movin' Fatboy Slim remix (that's the one they use in the Body Movin' video) and it was remarkable well they synced up.

Impressive! Lots of elements of everything from breakdancing to swing in there.

It would surprise me if that wasn't sped up at least a little bit. Definitely doesn't look quite natural.

Not sped up, I've seen people do almost the same routine real-life :)

Black people were allowed to have short little skirts in those days. They didn't need to keep themselves decent, apparently.

Look up "lindy hop" or "swing dancing" on Youtube and be amazed :D There's lots of us lindyhoppers and swing dancers the world over!

Oh, that's definitely not sped up. The guy in the bib overalls is Fankie Manning, who still teaches lindy workshops at 94. I took one last spring. What an interesting guy. He and his friends there basically invented most of the lindy moves. Here's his website if you want more info: http://www.frankiemanning.com/

I tried posting this once already, but it never seemed to make it up. I just wanted to say that I'm another present-day lindy hopper and I'm thrilled to see this clip make its way into "mainstream" internet culture (as opposed to our fairly small, insular community of dance nerds, where it's a classic).

No one does it better than these guys - they are all true innovators - but if you want to see the new guard of Lindy Hoppers, do a youtube search for "ULHS Liberation" to see contest footage (largely unchoreographed) from my favorite modern era contest.
