Am I the only one who wanted to see her take a dip, only to re-emerge nice and wet?\* \*Guilty admission: That was always my favorite part of visiting Sea World ---

I could be the walrus, but I’d still have to bum rides. ---

[QUOTE=WhyNot] Absolutely not. Flat face with a mustache, can lift belly off the ground, but back flippers stay floppy = walrus. It’s a small walrus, to be sure, but still a [walrus](http://www.dkimages.com/discover/previews/887/60002907.JPG) . Pointy snout with ear flaps and able to “stand” on front \*and \*back flippers and use flippers to move around on land fairly well = [sea lion](http://www.pinktentacle.com/images/soccer_sea_lion.jpg) . Pointy snout with tiny ear holes, no flaps and lies like jello on the land with only a small amount of dragging forward with flippers = [seal](http://www.kahea.org/nwhi/images/baby_seal_2_smaller.jpg) . [/QUOTE] Grumpy look with a mustache, no flippers, a resemblance to a dyspeptic Teddy Roosevelt = [Wilford Brimley](http://stillfootball.files.wordpress.com/2007/06/brimley.jpg). ---

[QUOTE=Zebra] I could be the walrus, but I’d still have to bum rides. [/QUOTE] So that would make you a bum riding walrus. Sounds painful. ---

Overwhelming evidence that looks don’t matter - women will always go for a guy that can dance. ---

[QUOTE=Little Nemo] Overwhelming evidence that looks don’t matter - women will always go for a guy that can dance. [/QUOTE] But who leads? Does the walrus break the ledge at the end or is that me? Also, as we all know, the walrus was Paul. 😉 ---

That’s not so impressive. He’ll dance for anyone as long as you [bring him a bucket](http://www.ihasabucket.com/). You know, everywhere on the internet that they do lolcats, the creature in the link is described as a walrus, but I don’t think it is…I think that’s an elephant seal… ---

That explains why he got the girl, then. The flippers are a dead giveaway…size matters after all. 😃 ---

That looks like something CGI’ed you’d find in one of those cruddy kid’s movies–Dr. Doolittle the Thirty-Billionth, starring some Disney pop tweenie. Brilliant! ---

It finally occurred to me that the Walrus video almost belongs on Conan’s “Hot Manatee Sex” site. ---

[QUOTE=elmwood] I found better footage of that Russian woman. [/QUOTE] Once was amusing (kinda), but the three hundredth misdirecting link gets to be tiring. Sorry guys, when it comes to Rickrolling, you’re gonna have to give it up, gonna have to say good-bye, gonna have to desert it. ---

Well, here I was thinking that I’d lived a fairy complete life. Then I realized I hadn’t yet seen a walrus dance to Michael Jackson nor dance an irish jig. Thank you once again, Dopers. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/russian-girl-makes-her-walrus-dance/442796.md?page=1)
