Hambone! Tribute to Hammy

2005-09-06: Hambone! (Bo-Jangles)

A friend of mine, Dallas, introduced me to a fun “dance.” He calls it Hambone! (bo-jangles). Provided is a short demonstration video of Hambone! (bo-jangles) in action. If any of you are curious the “dancers” are Mike (Dallas’ co-worker and possibly illegitimate love child) on the left, Dallas (Hambone! (bo-jangles)) extraordinaire in the center, and Brian (evil basement dweller) on the right. If it looks like they are convulsing, don’t worry, that’s how it goes.

To those of you who would like to try Hambone! (bo-jangles), some “dance” guidelines:

1. Tap both palms on one’s chest.
2. Tap the top of one’s hands on one’s thighs.
3. Slap both palms onto one’s rump.

Aside from those three easy arm gestures, the only Hambone! (bo-jangles) “dance” requirement is to perform the movements fast enough that it is impossible for anyone to know what is going on. Also, any variations such as spinnin’, hoot-n-hollerin’, etc. are favorable.

I recommend performing Hambone! (bo-jangles) at all opportunities. Try it!
