The Latin Dance class rocked, too, (well, 6/8 time isn't all that common in 
rock, but you know what I mean) and I'm much younger than 50, have the
"computer geek pallor," belong to no societies other than a few secret ones
(surely you've read the Illuminatus trilogy... then again, you're probably not
cleared for that), and women with heavy eye make-up just aren't my scene.  On
top of that, I don't like granola, eat yogurt only in private, and don't own a
pair of Birkenstocks.

So give it a shot!  Besides, if a Right-Wing-One-Man-Hate-Group-Bent-On-World-
Domination can enjoy those sorts of things, perhaps anyone else can, too!
