Since the others had gotten very long but introduced me to “You Such at Photoshop” (inspired) and others, I wanted to start a new one. And since many of the more recent entries have been mentioned already in various threads, I’ll retreat into the past for a combination of terror and nostalgia: The family of the accordionist [demonstrates the Chicken Dance](http://youtube.com/watch?v=6UV3kRV46Zs) on _The Lawrence Welk Show_. Check out the dungeon walls and the comprachico smiles on the teenagers- I honestly believe at least one was trying to get out a message in some sort of code. ---

We recently got back from a short vacation in Barcelona (why yes, you may feel free to envy me). We enjoyed the buskers on Las Ramblas, and one [puppet act](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhzsfycvdMQ) in particular caught our eyes, so I was pleased to find someone else had already filmed it and put a snippet up on YouTube. The marionette’s actions are very _life_like, and the puppet has a _dead_ funny personality 😛 ---
