Oh, fun Mine can do some moves with his shoulders that I still don't understand. I think it's Moroccan regada music that gets them bouncing around like they have strings attached to them.

[ya falaha! 0]

Hehehe I know exactly what you mean. Something about the Arabic style music that gets them going.

My husband also is very curious about the pork products and is let down when he discovers it's off limits.
