Hi Tom,
We have never filtered any e-mail for content that related to calling.
We love squares and this forum applies to calling them as well. You
are not being singled out for any different treatment.
We did get an e-mail from someone else that they were not getting all
of the messages. Seth is the technical side of our parnership, so
hopefully he can figure out what's going on. In the meantime, check
your spam filters to see if any Sharedweight messages are getting
caught there.
This is an equal opportunity forum. All opinions are welcome and
encouraged as long as they are presented with respect and tact. No
one's messages are reviewed before they are posted to the list. Please
let us know if you have any technical problems.
Sorry that it appeared differently to you.
Chris

Earlier (a year or two ago) I e-mailed sharedweight a question or
comment about squares. It never got sent around.
At the time, I figured someone was filtering the various e-mails and
wanted to make sure the discussion was geared only towards contra.
Fine. Now I see that others can send questions etc. about squares.
Am I being treated any differently than other people who are signed
up for sharedweight?
When I recieve an e-mail from sharedweight, the question and the
answers are in the same e-mail!!! It must be that the others get to
see the question and then answer it before I get to see the
question. Am I left out of the loop -like you're afraid that I'm
always going to jump in with my 2 cents (maybe because I'm an
experienced caller).
If this is the case, I just want you to know that I rarely want to
respond to the questions and requests. I also realize that it's
very important for the new callers to voice their opinion and have a
discussion.
Am I being treated differently from the others?

All this talk of Squares, and with Ralph Page weekend and all
reminded me that I found this on the web:
for all you Rabbit fans:
(we should always listen to the caller!)
the scene: 2 mountain gents trying to get the best of Bugs
of course Bugs turns the tables.....
Bugs Bunnys Square
Promenade across the floor. Sashay right on out the door.
Out the door and into the glade and everybody promenade.
Step right up you're doing fine.
I'll pull your beard you'll pull mine.
Yank it again like you did before.
Break it up with a tug of war.
Now into the brook and fish for the trout.
Dive right in and splash about. Trout! Trout! Pretty little trout!
One more splash and come right out.
Shake like a hound-dog. Shake again.
Wallow around in the old pig pen.
Wallow some more. Y'all know how.
Roll around like an old fat sow.
Allemande left with your right hand.
Follow through with a great left band. (?)
Now lead your partner the dirty old thing.
Follow through with an elbow swing.
Grab a fence post. Hold it tight.
Womp your partner with all your might.
Hit him in the shin. Hit him in the head.
Hit him again. The critter ain't dead.
Womp him low and womp him high.
Stick your finger in his eye.
Pretty little ring. Pretty little sound. Bang your heads against the
ground.
Promenade all around the room. Promenade like a bride and groom.
Open up the door and step right in.
Close the door and into a spin. Whirl! Whirl! Twist and twirl!
Jump all around like a flying squirrel.
Now don't you fuss and don't you swear.
Just come right out and form a square.
Now right hand over and left hand under.
Both join hands and run like thunder.
Over the hill and over the dale.
Duck your head and lift your tail.
Don't you stray and don't you roam.
Turn to your partner. Promenade home.
Corn in the cornfield. Wheat in the sack. Turn to your partner.
Promenade
back.
And now you're home. Bow to your partner.
Bow to the gent across the hall. And that is all!

We ended up doing melanie's triplet (twice) and ladies star. There
turned out to be several non-dancer people so I gave up on the
"no-walkthrough" goal. The dances went pretty well; thanks!
