Wah very good price huh? Will they come perform at my house in USA? For me CNY= lion dance . Every year the lion would show up to perform at our shop without fail. Feeling very nostalgic. I asked hubby if we can have one over, he was not too enthusiastic about it. Is it out of place to do it in USA? Only once a year, not like everyday event. I am sure neighbors would understand and even enjoy it?ev-disinfection wrote: It would cost about SGD 188.00 to invite the troupe.

EF, I hired a lion dance for my nephew's high school graduation party in Novato a few years ago. I couldn't be there and what better gift from his Auntie & Uncle in Singapore?earthfriendly wrote:Wah very good price huh? Will they come perform at my house in USA? For me CNY= lion dance .

The bay area is very diverse. I don't believe the creature roaming the neighborhood will be such an oddity. Will blend right in

What kind of evolution are you referring to?Mary Hatch Bailey wrote:It's funny, but you can easily make the argument that very high heals, the kind tall enough to hinder your ability to walk the speed of the crowd, is a self-inflicted reinterpretation of the bound foot.

Puff the magic dragon is supposedly a song that refers to smoking dope, though the band (Peter Paul and Mary) deny that.
Golden Brown by the Stranglers is about heroine addiction. When it was released they claimed that it was no such thing, and that 'what you find in the song's meaning is a reflection of your own psychology, like a Rorschach test'. But then many years later they admitted that yeah, ... it is about heroine.

"Chasing the dragon"
I am aware what the original "Chase the Dragon" stood for, but that's ancient Chinese Folklore and not the current generations coinage of the term for the inhalation of Heroin vapours (追龙).tyianchang wrote:SMS, this is what got me up at midnight.

"Chasing the dragon"
From which dark source have you extracted this verison of Chasing the dragon?
The true Chase is for the dragon with the ball of fire. The symbols are - dragon = qi = breath =energy
ball = an image of the invisible energy for children. （You know this? )
Your version will have my ancestors rising uo from their graves beyond because your source is blasphemous for these reasons -
your dragon = smoke = drugging the mind. disabling, disempowering
and there's no err, ball!
Does that remind you of some people? LOL ( Spooky thing is my troll's shadowing me from the FP thread piling his kind of compliments to my deaf ears. )
Now I'll try to see if I can manage a link for the real thing but don't raise your hopes.
