Sheepish

I was standing in the loo at a friends' house this evening at a party, somewhere around 1am. It's a downstairs loo and they keep the mop in a bucket standing in a corner of it, along with a broom whose head has fallen off the handle. I found myself looking at this handle and wondering to myself if I were drunk enough to attempt to astral polevault it in my heels and short skirt. Then I realised something. I hadn't actually been drinking...

Lovely evening anyway, glad Sion and Jan could make it over, and lovely to see Kate and Nigel since I haven't seen them in ages. And a happy birthday to Pete, and many thanks for a great party.

What's an astral polevault when it's at home?

http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/People/mbishop/silly.html has a description partway down, and there are a couple of photos of people midway through at http://www.greenend.org.uk/rjk/photos/2002-01-22/

It's much easier to demonstrate (provided one can do it at all) than it is to describe.

Wow. That's nearly impossible, and I speak as a Twister champion here.

I was exceptionally disappointed with myself a couple of months back when I tried to do that and failed. I just couldn't do the pulling it over the shoulder bit. The first time I tried it I was able to do it easily. I don't want to lose bendiness!
