Nice that the line dance - the stretching dance performed every hour to pop culture lyrics - mentions Michael Murphy.

"Michael Murphy Lion Brave. Thank you Sir for all you gave"

Yikes, my effort's dinky compared to that one .. lol



             

Just a side note .. Bucknell Univ is nearby, and even their kids get out on the traffic light corners in town with Thon cans.

It's good to know they're not all hopeless, ya know ?!

Ya gotta love that one of the kids' very favorite things about it all is the bubble guns that were apparently handed out to all of 'em .. lol !

There have been a few oldies, otherwise haven't a clue re most of the noise they're all boogie'n to, but watching a bit of this makes me feel almost young again for a few minutes.

Thanks again for the link .. FTK

Have you donated to the Freepathon? Otherwise, why are you promoting this?

Frankly, it’s none of your business where I donate my money.

If you don’t want to watch kids fight pediatric cancer, then don’t watch and don’t comment.

Here’s the full lyrics from the line dance:
Intro/Stretching

Reach out, touch your toes / Penn State now hold that pose

Slide left, slide right / Dancing ‘til we win this fight

From the floor, to the crowd / C’mon Lions let’s get loud

BJC let’s hear you scream / 2 thousand, 14

Verse 1

For the cause, we unite / All together, Blue and White

Feeling lost, look around! / Penn State lives all over town

HUB bookstore, where’s it at? / Gotta go outside for that!

4 OTs, what a win / See ya later Michigan

Pegula doors open wide / eLion, request denied

Michael Murphy, Lion brave / Thank you sir for all you gave

Team returns to Rec Hall gym / B.O.B. we’ll miss that chin

Franklin’s back in his home state / He’s prepared to dominate

Chorus

Hey THON bust a move / Turn it up now FREEZE

Jump, shout, let’s get loud / DJ’s drop that beat

For The Kids, we be rockin’ / Dancing ? we’re never stoppin’

One day we’ll celebrate / Until then, Fight On State!

Verse 2

Mandela’s spirit will live on / Runners show they’re Boston Strong

Jersey opens up the beach / Hey Pope Francis, PREACH!

Batkid saves his town / Tightrope walker don’t look down

Quick hang up, that line’s not safe! / Phones are tapped by NSA

Healthcare, stuck in a rut / Government (PAUSE) ? Shut down for what?

Goodbye Andy, hello Chip / Pittsburgh Pirates right the ship

Johnny Football signs away / Sochi hosts the winter games

Nyad makes the swim / ARod, bro, just hit the gym

Chorus

Hey THON bust a move / Turn it up now FREEZE

Jump, shout, let’s get loud / DJ’s drop that beat

For The Kids, we be rockin’ / Dancing ? we’re never stoppin’

One day we’ll celebrate / Until then, Fight On State!

Verse 3

Beyonce proves that she’s the queen / Gatsby runs the party scene

Frozen quickly climbs the charts / Minions back to steal our hearts

Mike, Mike, Mike what day is it? / Humpdayyy is a hit

Swiping candy left & right / Breaking Bad says goodnight

Miley Cyrus, off the wall

She came in like a wreckingggg balllllll

Jen Laurence catches fire / Jimmy Fallon, night show hire

Buzzfeed taking up our time / Have 6 seconds? Make a Vine!

Looking good in ‘93?, Hashtag TBT

Sharknado takes the bait / Manti Te’o needs a date

JT lookin fresh / Kim and Kanye find North West

Royal family, ay bay bay (pause) / What does the fox say?

DANCE BREAK

T ? H / O ? N

Throw your diamonds in the air / Show ‘em how much we care

BJC let’s do it / Ayyy!

Chorus

Hey THON bust a move / Turn it up now FREEZE

Jump, shout, let’s get loud / DJ’s drop that beat

For The Kids, we be rockin’ / Dancing ? we’re never stoppin’

One day we’ll celebrate / Until then, Fight On State!

Verse 4

Bring the noise, bring the thunder / Dancing for our little wonders

THON online, THINK ahead / Gold zone helps our message spread

Hershey Med funds research / Around the globe we rock our merch

Jenn and Darcy join the fun / Barry thanks for all you’ve done

4 diamonds, 1 knight / Wisdom takes us to new heights

Courage, strength to pave the way / Honesty in what we say

For The Kids, we ensure / That one day there’ll be a cure

Together, our dreams align / What’s possible is redefined

Encouraging readers to support the FReepathon as best their means allow is a good thing.
Quite another is presuming to cloak yourself in some imagined mantle of FR collection agency.

If Jim has a problem with a member's financial support or lack thereof, that's for Jim to take up with said member.
In the meantime, Joe is entirely correct in stating that the level of his donation support is none of your business.

Your #13 is way out of line.
