HOOK

                                              April 28, 2000

There's a couple who's just 
met out on the dance floor. 

My eyes -- probably all eyes -- 
are surreptitiously following them. 

His success with women is legendary.
It probably doesn't hurt that 
he's a 6ft plus eurotrash moose, 
but that's not the whole story... 

She's probably technically the prettiest 
woman at the party, though she's dressed       (Succumbed to the Stanford 
down in an interesting way.                    scene's puritanism?           
                                               Or just wants to be taken
They're just dancing facing each               seriously?  Let's give her 
other, as is the custom.                       credit for the later.  
No body contact.                               Big-breasted blond women 
                                               have to work at this.)
Then suddenly he stops, and 
abruptly turns away from her. 
He just starts to walk off 
the dance floor.  Has he 
given up on her for some reason?

    But he's walking on the beat-- 
    

And a dozen paces away, he
suddenly turns again, 
dances again, and moves                       
back towards her.  The 
movement away retroactively 
becomes part of the dance. 


                                    Now *that* is what I call 
                                    "driving the hook in."
