A dance that symbolises an entire way of life that was supposedly very intense, meaningful and sensual, and intrinsic to the human and natural worlds, but that was in fact never lived. The literal dance itself never existed, and those who pretend to knowledge of it cannot agree on what the moves were. More generally, a myth in the most amorphous state possible.
Jane spent her college years trying to find references to the acorn dance.
Everything is an acorn dance and nothing is.
Someone wrote a thesis on Renaissance painting and the acorn dance. It was rather sensual stuff and I still couldn't make head nor tail of it.

Get the acorn dancemug. Industry practised by Japan, Norway, Iceland and Russia, which affords Greenpeace a badly needed opportunity to do something useful.
The Japanese have resumed whaling again. Whether Greenpeace will get off their anti-GM backsides and hop in the dinghies again is another matter.

Get the whalingmug. I had everything worked out just fine for the party, and then Marjorie just had to come along and whup the bunny for everyone.

Get the whup the bunnymug. A luxurious car, typically one driven by an asshole motorist who shows utter fascist contempt for hitchers and/or cyclists.
Unfortunately, the local roads are so full of potholes that my dynamo stopped working after about a hundred yards, leaving me at the tender mercies of Mikey here and his furrydicemobile.

Get the furrydicemobilemug. Comment that often deserves to be made of much of the quackery filling our global culture. Pioneered by Arte Johnson as Wolfgang the Nazi Soldier in the comedy series "Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In" from 1968 to 1973; Wolfgang would raise his head above a parapet after some preceding act, take a cigar out of his mouth, deliver the line and grin ear to ear. Best delivered in the original thick German accent, with a pause for effect midway through.

Get the very interesting but stupidmug. After the Bland Bond, the Blond Bond. And am happy to report, this one has style. As long as they keep him for a while, and don't have a Blind Bond. Or Blend Bond.

Diameter c. 3,050 miles. Large iron core, pitted surface, negligible atmosphere. Orbital period 88 days. Rotational period 59 days. Surface temperature ranges from minus 180 to plus 430 degrees Centigrade. No natural satellites. Gravity at surface about 38 percent of Earth gravity. Currently (in 2008) being mapped by the MESSENGER space probe.
2. The planet's namesake was the messenger god of ancient Rome, well known for his winged sandals and identified with intersex identity and hermaphroditism. Greek counterpart was Hermes.

Mercury has been visited by the spacecraft Mariner 10 and MESSENGER.
Please Mercury, may my courier reach Julius Octavius in time.
Freddie Mercury ROCKED.
Make sure you don't bite the thermometer too hard, or you'll get shards of glass in your mouth and a few drops of mercury down your throat.
