By special request: ballet + jello — 14 Comments

  1. Thank you, Neo. We commenters appreciate the interaction you have with us.

    How long did it take to find that Jello ballet video?

  2. Yep, see, see, those bloggers who don’t have comments turned on, or don’t read them are missing out on fun stuff like this. And we readers would miss this kind of good stuff too!

    (and, believe you me, I am NOT being sarcastic)

    The only thing really missing is the appropriate music – perhaps, “Waltz of the Flowers” by Tchaikovsky would fit nicely?

  3. The gracefulness of Jello…who knew? And little Lilly, with or without her Jello, is simply adorable.

    Somebody said that it couldn’t be done
    But she with a chuckle replied
    That “maybe it couldn’t,” but she would be one
    Who wouldn’t say so till she’d tried.
    So she buckled right in with the trace of a grin
    On her face. If she worried she hid it.
    She started to sing as she tackled the thing
    That couldn’t be done, and she did it!

    (with apologies to Edgar Guest, who never had Google)

  4. Thanks for the smiles indeed. As Satchmo used to say, “What a wonderful world.”

  5. I’m sure there are plenty of bloggers who write about ballet, and others who write about Jello.

    But where else can you see a blog post about ballet and Jello?

    Nowhere, that’s where.

    You’ve found your niche, Neo. 🙂

  6. For what it’s worth Neo-

    Two of the final four on “So You Think You Can Dance” this season are from the ballet world. One guy and one gal. Nice to see ballet getting the respect it deserves.

  7. Actually, it took only a minute or two to find them.

    Google is your friend. At any rate, it’s my friend.

  8. Behavior of such substances which are neither liquids nor solids is wonderful, and I studied this branch of mechanic in university. This was my theme of student study somewhat 45 years ago. Partial differential equations for such media can be written, of course, but most problems governed by such equations are virtually intractable. That is when I understood that real-world problems quite often are beyond the grasp of mathematics we know – and beyond the grasp of scientific method in general. This conclusion was a valuable lesson in humility.
