The Zorba thread.

I wish I could just dance! I went into a home depot and bought a few sheets of plywood.. when the cashier was looking for the UPC symbols.. I couldn't help her lift the plywood.. I told her I suffered from ABNB, and was not alone in this world.. She said, I'm so sorry, and, she asked what is that??
I replied, "All Belly & No Butt! My pants fall down if I bend over!! .. I think we have a great forum and all the members are a very diverse lot... except for those paratroopers... ....( Jerry & Ed) With whom I'm also very close!!! Best to all, til...lat'r....GT

If you really want to, you can! Just be prepared to be a klutz for awhile - I'm living proof that ANYONE can dance, TRUST ME!

Find a dance form that interests you, and go take some classes. Don't worry about looking/being clumsy - that's what the class is for!

Luger Holster Repair ----- Sonny..well maybe a 173rd did now and then but no one in the 101st did.
The 101st never burnt down any PX's either! The 173rd has that honor.. We weren't banned from every R&R post in Viet Nam for wearing silk panties! Didn't the 101 go leg?


I was also a member of the 101st (1961-1963) and at that time we were all Airborne qualified but I believe that that has not been the case for quite some time now, I believe many are Legs now. While I have never had the urge to wear ladies underwear I did experience an embarrassing moment when my wife, I was married and lived off post, washed my long johns in with something red and they all came out a bright pink, shortly after that we had a Field Problem lasting several days one January and I wanted to wash up and change into some clean clothes, forgetting that my long johns were bright pink, took awhile to live that down.

They went to Nam in 65 as the 101st Airborne Div and returned the 101st Airborne Div (Air Mobile) If I remember correctly, the 1st Cav was the first to be designated 'Air Mobile' and because it was the way to mobilize in Nam, the 101st became the second Air Mobile in 68 but still had one Bde airborne qualified. Later designated "Air Assault" after returning stateside. At that time the 173rd was deactivated and made 3rd Bde 101st and was the airborne Bde but that has been deleted and became Air Assault also a few years later. I crossed paths with the 173rd both in Nam and Ft Campbell when they returned from Nam. The first thing they did was set up a Belly Dancing School at Ft Campbell............

Best we get this thread back to Belly Dancing before any belly buttons start popping!!!!!!!!!!!!!
