I could probably do a better tangle than a tango.

i'd rather enjoy the dali-esque distorions of doing it in front of a funhouse mirror, I wouldn't see the jiggling shaking body parts

Thanks, but why? I seldom work for other people. I'm slower than most people at routine jobs like drywall, but if there's novelty in the job, it may barely slow me down, and usually works first time. I had been shopping for a new wristwatch for years, but last week I found it easier to fix my old one than to find the same features again.

This one is electronic, with a 1/2 home made strap. I never did a jewel replacement, but used to shorten expanding metal straps, and have done jewelry alterations as a hireling.

I have an older brother who has talent similar to yourself, I wish some of it leaked down to me as well.

I'm terrible at any learned motions. I dance by shaking various limbs and masses in time with various sounds in the music, but don't try to repeat what I did the last time I heard that riff.
Watching my friend dance, you could tell two things: It looked like a lot of fun, and you were not going to be the funniest feature on the floor. One New Year's, I was dancing wildly on a very crowded floor - without careful observation, I would have kicked or punched someone with every beat.
One time, I was involved in bringing a new kind of dance band to our city for a benefit, and you could have seen any of the dancers on the floor for about the first twenty minutes. Maybe people were used to the music by the next visit, but I put a line on our ads "Come Prepared to Dance" and the floor filled in 20 seconds flat.
That's Efficiency!
