Teddy! I should have noticed, and thought,
that someone with "duckmeister" would be overly sensitive to swan trivia.
If I'm to pull on your canard, draw on your mallard attitude,
I could type about where those Canada geese have their nests this year.
It was big news when they abandoned their traditional Gibson Lake peninsula.

But you are right. Expecting vigorous wing-flaps from an adult ballerina is expecting too much.
Now I can see a small chorus of angelic youth being fluttered around the stage.

I see Harry Houdini, with his extreme conditioning, ice cube baths every day to improve resistance for stunts,
practicing various dislocations to aid in extrications, part of his promotional behavior,
as pushing himself to where he could achieve international acclaim, setting a North American entertainment standard.
Unfortunately, poverty is too often the motivation for parents to make their children outstanding.
I can't fault Chinese society, in China, for exhibiting more of a global trait than most other countries.
China experienced horrific poverty in the 20's and 30's, survived, and recovered more than nicely.
That's another reason I didn't look at the clip.
There are some things I'll never try to do, never did try to do, and don't want anyone else to have to do them,
especially if it's for such a whim as entertainment.
What I've seen from China lately that sets an artistic standard for me with available technology,
is what looks like a painting in a frame, as a construction, but is a moving panorama of a city or scene.
Even the simple underwater scenes with fish look better than any computer animation I've seen, real 3-D.

Does that count as an egg? It didn't feel like I was squeezing it out.
