    How do these things start? Are they choreographed? Are the few people who begin it the only perpetrators and everyone else just joins in? It's kind of cool, but I understand why you refer to it as trite. Seeing one is enough.

    I've never quite gotten the concept of a "Flash" Mob.

    Flash Mob Dances gotta be better than Flash Mob Pillow Fights and other mindless events...

    But a lot harder to plan out and choreograph.

    Probably most of you saw the Opra show where the Black Eyed Peas performed. Oprah didn't know but he large outdoor audience had practiced their own routine.

    Terry, one thing I will NOT do when I retire is watch Oprah. That would be an admission that I've become a slug. :lol:

    My post wasn't very accurate. What I meant to say was most of you have probably seen the You Tube clip of the Oprah show with the Black Eyed Peas.....

    If that Oprah deal was a "flash mob"...then Billy Ray Cyrus fans invented it years ago to dance to his Achey Brackey Heart Song. :wink:
