List:

Things I would be inclined to shake if someone asked me to “shake what ya mama gave ya”.

1. wooly jumper
2. collander
3. doona
4. doona cover
5. cockroach baits
6. commemorative coin from the Perth mint
7. swimming lessons
8. A4 notebook
9. ten dollars to see a movie
10. my booty, of course

My mama has given me a lot of stuff, so it would take plenty of shaking to deliver an exhaustive account. Also, it’s very hard to shake swimming lessons. How would you do that?

  1. How do you shake swimming lessons? Drown.

  2. I think Andre 3000 would be pretty stoked that you were funking out with a collander.

    He might be less stoked if you did so with cockroach baits, though.

  3. Two words:

    Interpretive dance.

  4. Nails - I think I get it. I wouldn’t say it’s clever so much as… not clever.

    Boofuls - Ta. I think a doona would be the best thing to funk out with, but I’d knock too much stuff over.

  5. Chuffed - Yeah! I always knew I was going to revolutionise the dance world with my genius whiteboy moves.

  6. picture #4 is all you really needed - it conveys motion, emotion, and the urge to use the collander as a top hat.
