It would be my absolute pleasure to demonstrate the MC dance in person if we could assemble the remaining 7/8 of a standard Formation Mornington Crescent Dancing Gang. (Plus three elevators and two-thirds of the North London line, but that goes without saying.)

[lnr]

Hey cool, now we've got the entire set. You're all wimps for not trying to draw them though. (Well, 'cept Chris).

[kaet.livejournal.com]

I'm trying to find my old post where I drew them, now. :)

Ah, here it is! :) netnews Nov 2000 vintage.

Can someone tell me the origin of the following song/rhyme (with
actions). I seem to pick these things up quite easily, but usually
have no idea where they're from.

Words

Big fish,
Little fish,
Cardboard box,
Shopping trolley,
Shopping trolley,
Marge Simpson.

Actions (included for the fun of doing the ASCII art, and so people
can try at home)

BIG FISH
