Nice TWERK If You Can Get It!

For once I'm not naming this mental fart after a Rock And Roll song. Mainly because I don't know any tunes with TWERK in the title. There probably are lots of tunes out there with TWERK in the title, I'm just unaware of them since I don't listen to top forty music.I suppose I could've substituted the word WORK and used it as a humorous twist, like "Twerking In A Coal Mine", " We Can Twerk It Out" or " Twerking For A Living", but those are stretches I'm not prepared to make. For those who are totally in a vacuum, Twerking is the act of dancing in a sexually provoative manner, mainly consisting of pelvic thrusts. Lets face it, dancing is a way for people to try and get laid, it's been that way all through the ages. If you disagree, you're a complete doofus. Sure dancing can be enjoyable, but men sure wouldn't bother doing it if there was no chance of it leading to some serious humping. It's been in the news because child star Mylie Cyrus*, a.k.a Hanna Montana put on a show at the Video Music Awards ceremony where she twerked and did an incredibly bad job of it. Twerking isn't something that takes a great deal of skill, but like anything else, some people do it better than others. Some folks can do it naturally, and others have to work at it. It sure looks better watching girls do it than men, I'm sure nobody will argue that point with me. I think the fact that people made such a big to-do over Miley's performance made it get blown way out of proportion. I certainly wouldn't have gone to YOUTUBE to watch it if there hadn't been dozens of news stories about it. I didn't find Ms. Cyrus's act at all offensive, I was more distubed by her constantly sticking her tongue out, Gene Simmons beware. It made her look like a retard, ( I know that's politically incorrect, I just can't think of another way to say it! so shoot me). If anyone recalls The Rocky Horror Picture Show, the dance " The Time Warp" has some serious twerking in it, and that's about as offensive as a child's coloring book of zoo animals. When Elvis Presley first appeared on television, his pelvic shifting was considered obscene, and many programs only showed him from the waist up, to keep teenage minds off of carnal thoughts. I've got news for people who believe that, teenage minds are on carnal thoughts no matter what, it's human nature. Always has been, always will be. There's nothing that will change that! So people have to stop getting their glands in an uproar over what teenagers do, because their bodies are like the Indy 500 of hormones racing around their systems, and trying to put a lid on biology is like trying to fasten a cover on a pot of boiling water. No matter how tightly you manage to secure it, eventually it's gonna blow! * I am unsure of the correct spelling of Ms. Cyrus's name so I tried it the two most obvious ways, and I'll leave it at that.
