1. I wonder if those are the same guys from cirque du soleil.

There was a couple guys on there that did a routine like that one.

[MonkeyFunk]

10. Yes they are:

They're the Alexix brothers.

[redqueen]

16. Thank you.

You are so helpful. :) (And I am so lazy :P)

[MissB]

2. The music was awful. Couldn't they at least smile?

I suppose when you have your nose that close to someone's sweaty undies, one must require a straight face.

[trof]

4. Uh...that's part of the act? To seem to be machines?

Which they really bring off.

[DarkTirade]

11. I got more of a 'living statue' vibe than a machine vibe.

:shrug:

[trof]

30. That too.

[trof]

8. Gee, you didn't like the music either?

I dunno.
Sometimes I just...
Oh, nevermind.
:eyes:

[SKKY]

3. OMFG!

:wow: Bloody fucking hell that is some unbelievable strength.

[trof]

5. Yeah, I don't think I could do that.

:rofl:

[SKKY]

7. And I though I did something when on my last PT test...

...I did 100 push ups in under 2 minutes, 100 sit ups in under 2 minutes, and ran 1.5 miles in 10:25. I've done nothing.

[redqueen]

Hah... I see what you're doing there.

Showoff. :P

[SKKY]

17. Showing off? I think those guys are the ones showing off!!!

That's just sick. Of course, if I didn't have to configure routers, switches, change passwords, fix printer issues, write evals, dig in peoples asses for showing up late to work, and could only work out, I bet I could...um...yea right. Who am I kidding. I'd probably spend it working on my short game.

[redqueen]

22. They are very impressive.

It's beautiful, really.

And... short game? Is that golf talk?

[SKKY]

26. Yes, I play golf.

Gonna play in about 10 hours as a matter of fact! :P

[redqueen]

31. Sweet!

Hope the weather's nice. :)

[SKKY]

32. I hope so to...

...supposed to rain. I'll play in the rain, just not when it's really windy.

[trof]

9. Keep pumping.

Who knows?
;-)

[trof]

6. These are two brothers, and not kids, either.

They are 41 and 39 years old which makes it even more incredible.
I can't imagine how many years of practice this routine took.
The strength and incredible positions that are achieved are beyond believing.

[DarkTirade]

12. They're brothers?

... wow... and here I was thinking homoerotic thoughts. Seems a bit weird now.

[DarkTirade]

13. ... or was that just me?

:shrug:

[redqueen]

15. I think we as Americans perceive more homoeroticism than

people from some other countries do... countries where men kissing and hugging is not seen as a big deal.

[SKKY]

19. Ever been to Turkey?

Guys walking down the street, holding hands. Only later to find out it's like, an Uncle and his nephew. It takes some adjustment.

[redqueen]

20. Nope...

I found out my perception was skewed when I first started watching footie. I told a British friend that I thought the celebrations were sometimes homoerotic... with all the guys hugging and kissing each other... and she said she didn't think so, cause she'd grown up seeing it, and they were only happy and celebrating.

Quite an eye-opener.

[SKKY]

24. Are you from the UK?

You write as though you are, but aren't you American? From Texas or some place like that? I was watching Real Madrid get beat by my beloved Real Betis last weekend, and after the game, Raul gave Juanito a kiss on the cheek goodbye. They both play on the national team together, and I guess are good friends.

[redqueen]

28. Yup!

Native Dallasite here. :)

Was that CL? I don't see too many of those games. I did watch the Arsenal draw from earlier this week though.

[SKKY]

34. I'm confused...

...You're originally from the UK, but live in Dallas? :shrug: No, it was a regular league game. They lost to Betis on Saturday, then lost to Roma on Tuesday. And, since it's Real Madrid, everyone here thinks the sky is falling. :eyes:

[DarkTirade]

21. Holding hands and kissing vs. rubbing up against someone while wearing gold underwear...

slight difference there.

Either way, I don't tend to go for muscles, but that was still kinda hot.

[redqueen]

23. Not all "rubbing up" is equal.

:P

[DarkTirade]

25. Yes, some is hotter than others.

And before I knew those two were brothers, that was rather hot. :P

[supernova]

33. I'd rub them both

simultaneously.


}(

Very impressive routine. :D

They remind me of Pilobolus, who come here to the American Dance Festival most years.

[trof]

27. Still feels kinda weird.

Whatever?
Terrific act though.
Hope it makes them lots of $$$.

[DarkTirade]

14. ... yeah, I need to work out more often.

[ThomCat]

18. Wow!

:wow:

I have trouble holding a glass of water without shaking. Being able to do any of that just boggles my mind. That's incredible.

[hippywife]

29. That is pretty amazing.

Also made me wonder how many times their mom had to run them to the hospital when they were growing up. :rofl:
