You can successfully use Montana in a sentence? Who knew?!

Ugh, I'm friends with so many dancers and I have the hardest time making it through modern dance performances without audibly snickering to myself and those around me. It's very rare that I can appreciate the artistry of modern dance...

Unless that chick at the gong show feeding her rubber chickens chewed up twinkies would be considered a modern dancer. She was rad.

Yeah, gourmet buffet is definitely an oxymoron.

"Evidently, all you need in order to be a modern dancer is to have an ego the size of Montana and a mild to severe case of epilepsy."

That's the best description of a modern danceR EVER.

Yeah, that Montana/epilepsy line sums up the modern dancer everyone's scared of perfectly.

Still, to keep this from turning into open season on all modern dancers, let me say that some of the best theater I've ever seen has fallen under the classification modern dance..

Mr. Poe:

I know someone who's first name is Montana, so for me at least, correct gramatical usage of the word is pretty common.

I too am quite enamored with modern dance. The visual spectacle of abstract expression via use of the human body is, to me, a quite wonderful thing to behold.

But then, I have the muscular flexility of a bundle of dry kindling, so make of that what you will...
