Moments of unbelievable happiness

I found a random pile of OVER A HUNDRED C4 sequences I can use for the upcoming dance. My Ceder Square Dance System date filter confirms they're good to go. Bliss! Manna from heaven! I had no idea I had this much stuff lying around.

Now I need only the C3B. Much easier to do. Wow.

"random pile of OVER A HUNDRED C4 sequences"
"I had no idea I had this much stuff lying around."

Not knowing much at all about square dance, these phrases immediately conjure disturbing and/or entertaining images involving careless explosives handling. :-)

Let's hope these posts aren't monitored by Homeland Security! Fortunately, I knew what she was talking about...explosives never entered my mind.

Of course you CAN Explode the Wave and Explode the Line, but neither of those are C4!

Too many years in the defense business. Warps the brain. Even further I mean. :-)

I suspect any discussion involving the string "C4" is at least glanced at by a computer at some alphabet agency. But this one probably doesn't even make it past the boredom filters...

Explode the Top is at least C3. Um... Explosion is a C4 call! There! Now that I've come up with that, my day is complete.

Yay you!

The majority of them are hard enough for this dance, too! That's what I most often have left over after I've written and called a dance: hard stuff. The easy stuff gets called quickly, and sometimes repeatedly depending on distance between dance locations, but there's always a little pile of difficult sequences that didn't get called at all. Eventually those piles add up.

Square dancing prosperity! Who'da thunk it?

That's a great way to put it! :-)

So now, in order to complete your Clark Baker imitation, you must SAY over the mike "This sequence was written for AACE" and "We have now completed all sequences from 2001" and other appropriate commentary. :-)

*laughter* That's perfect!

Thank goodness we didn't freecycle them.

Whoever took them would only have thrown them away, anyway.
