Rumor has it that the chairman of the BDC recently attended a ballet. While we here at the BDC are neither willing to admit nor deny these ridiculous claims at this time, this accusation does provide some intriguing questions. For one -- why would an impatient, rageful leader of a lunch group based on sharing and releasing anger submit himself /herself to a dancing display filled with men in tights, and a complete lack of words. Answers are not easy. Some of the appeal may lie in the longstanding history of the ballet. Admittedly, the appreciation of the art of dance builds with maturity and there is a general curiosity to find out what it's all about.

However, these ballets relay a ridiculous story. Take the one in question, Giselle, for example. Giselle is a beatiful girl, who lives asa peasant in the 19th century. She is seduced by a prince and naturally, falls in love. A fellow male peasant, who is also in love with Giselle, becomes jealous and uncovers the prince's true identity.Giselle, heart-broken when she finds out about the prince's true deceptive ways, dies. Yeah, that's right; she dies from a broken heart-- that's normal. This ends Act I. In Act II, she then ascends to anafter-life forest where she meets up with other crazy, bitter women who have also been seduced. Called the Wilis, these women sole purpose inthe after-life is to lure male deceivers into the forest and dance with them until they die. This story just loses all credibility as i tprogresses. The BDC is getting sick just sharing these ridiculous events.

The "Lazy" KYLE SUMMARY -- Ballet stories are ridiculous;although the dancing is impressive, the story makes the BDC sick!
