Seventies question
Do you recall the name of the series and the lead actor from the seventies who was living in a luggage locker on a railway station? Kittybrewster  &#9742;  14:23, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
 * The Upchat Line, written by Keith Waterhouse and starring John Alderton - no article, but more information here and here. There was a follow-up series as well, apparently, The Upchat Connection, with Robin Nedwell, as Alderton didn't want to continue with it.  Ghmyrtle (talk) 14:30, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Many thanks. Kittybrewster  &#9742;  14:52, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

Carnivore album cover
On the cover of the reissued self-titled album by Carnivore, what is the picture supposed to be? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.150.220.72 (talk) 15:08, 14 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Looks like a closeup shot of some animal's mouth. Or possibly a chili cheese hot dog. But probably an animal, given their name. 67.185.1.213 (talk) 17:56, 14 October 2011 (UTC)


 * It looks very much like the mouth of a dog. Not sure which breed, as it is very close up, but those look a lot like dog teeth.  -- Jayron  32  18:12, 14 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Yep, close up of the side teeth (molars?) of a dog. Whenever I check my dogs' teeth, that's what they look like.  Dismas |(talk) 01:56, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

How...?
Long ago on I saw on TV a certain folk dance in which ladies wearing long skirts are able to move on stage without moving their legs. How do they do it ? Jon Ascton   (talk)  18:29, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
 * When I've seen such dances, I've assumed that the dancers are taking very rapid (say 6-10/s), very short (say ≤4"), gliding steps (i.e. with the soles slipping over the floor) which require minimal leg movements that the long skirts conceal. {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 90.197.66.168 (talk) 19:19, 14 October 2011 (UTC)


 * A sideways glide is performed by shifting weight between the heal and toe of each foot in very small motions. It has existed for a very long time, but you can also find it "invented" by many hip-hop dancers. -- k a i n a w &trade; 19:36, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

There is a movie with spooky nuns floating down the hallway like this. Could it be Dracula: Dead and Loving It? μηδείς (talk) 19:19, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
