Something very South Parky about these too. maybe the way the crowd politely applauds after each little trick.

I think it's the way the performance is based on figure skating and has to be themed, yet they just do a comically half assed little hand motion or something between slowly paddling forward and then slowly spinning around.

Latham Green, peep dis thread LEONCIE! Goan-Icelandic 'princess' and her synthsizer share shock and love with the world

that is an original ethnic blending for sure. I wonder where the mammary glands were from - I'm guessing Iceland.

No, the golf clapping is what's getting me in these canoe vids.

also, it sounds like the mc or whatever quotes him as saying "i'd like to thank [blah blah blah] for their ADVICE, COMMENTS, AND CO-CAINE"

not saying that i got a boner while watching that video. BUT let's just say that the canoe wasn't the only thing that was standing erect at three qarters-to full mast via shitty mixed metaphors during that video

The canoe is unique in that it is both phallic, in the obvious ways, and vaginal, most apparent when the artist leans toward the audience, splaying, revealing the shapely inner canoe, the flower. It's...breathtaking.

All you haters think this is a fad, just wait- someday Tobias Osprey will do the first 900 in FC competition, then who will be golf-clapping then.

Ok sorry to keep the canoe discussion alive but:
im willing to bet that every person who chirped down there is either American and cant canoe, or they lack the skills to do anything cool in a canoe

You folks ever see any examples of Canadian Style Paddling? It would be interesting to compare notes: similarities and dissimiliarities.

Comment from the canoe video poster:
It's all about boat control, life and death in big water.
And yes, Marc is the best of the best at this IMHO. Too bad I had a falling out with one of the ringleaders of these events and am no longer welcome, I really enjoyed learning this stuff.

A lot of big personalities in this sport, a lot of emotions. It's like paddling upstream sometimes. You've got to really balance those emotions, even when things look like they're about to capsize. Even then it seems like you're just slowly spinning in circles, and you can't figure out what the hell you're looking at. You get through it all, and it's like the drama is over, and you can golf-clap yourself for coming out a better person.

i watched that video recently and it blew my mind, b/c i was expecting him to look like andy gibb and not an also-ran from a starbuck tribute band

also, i went to middle school with someone who wore those kinds of shirts exclusively, like i guess he had a gift certificate from merry-go-round or something

(Girls Night Out)", The Belle Brigade, King Charles, Joanna Pacitti and many others.
