For those of us who had too much Turkey and stuffing and pumpkin pie, etc. this Thanksgiving weekend, here's a video of a sly polka dancer who really can cut the polka with his gorgeous wife (and burn calories). Hope you all find this amusing but notice the confidence and shine this sly guy has !
Thanks, Statsiu. I think that this video is really cool. I had just finished a heated political discussion on Facebook, so I posted this for something different. Happy Thanksgiving.
Just shared this with my 'certain ethnic' friend at work. His hair is thinning and will likely shave his head one of these days. He's into everything Polish, and I'm half Polish. Never did dance the Polka, but wife and I do dance English Country Folk Dance regularly. Performances are this coming weekend at a Christmas celebration.

The word you were trying to use is "Polack". This is a very derogatory term to Polish people. It is the equivalent of any other ethnically derogatory term. See this:
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/polack?s=t&ld=1230I'm Polish and from a VERY proud Polish Family. Shame on you for using this term Dan... you are a MUCH better guy than that.
Absolutely NO derogatory ethnic terms are allowed or will be tolerated on the Forum. I'm leaving the comment for now so others that have read this can see that this will NOT be tolerated.
Mike,
Thanks for the reminder. Using derogatory terms for ethnicity is never warranted.
I assumed Mr Zed's friend was either a fish or the long-deceased artist...both of which are hard to have an extended conversation with!
No derogatory intentions whatsoever.
My friend is from Cleveland. Huge Polish community. He brags about being a 'certain ethnic' person. (The Spell checker changed the spelling).
If it's Polish, he is proud of it including this term. I speak as a Polish person, myself.
I'll clean up the other post in the way that the TV station in Cleveland did years ago. They use the term 'certain ethnic', instead. See "Big Chuck and Hoolihan".
My apologies to anyone who may have taken offense.
