The Ross Sisters (Aggie, Maggie, and Elmira) were a trio of singing acrobatic contortionists who rose to brief fame in the 1940s. The scene above is from a 1944 MGM musical entitled "Broadway Rhythm." The term "solid" was period slang for "excellent."
Some people like their taters Lyonnais, some prefer French fries.
I prefer mine with mayonnaise, cole slaw on the side.
Solid potato salad, that’s solid salad, Jack,
Solid potato salad, boy, take a plate, fill it up, bring it right back.
Humans and everything else on this planet have evolved over millions of years for one purpose, and one purpose only - that's to make copies of themselves.
So it's all about sex - that's all there is to the game called life - so get used to it.
Just googled them to see if they were still around... it seems that Elmira died in 1963 but it looks like the others are still with us.
Shame there are only two left - would have been fun to see them (try to) recreate this on America's Got Talent...
Interesting fact: their parents were pretzelmakers.
Funny how if that were made today, I'd be wondering if it were CG in some way. Bodies just aren't meant to bend like that.
@taliesyn30 I'd imagine that even being blessed (if it is a blessing) to be that flexible, you're probably only able to do that for 10, maybe 15, years before you're just not able to do it anymore, at least not to that degree. There's a reason why Olympic gymnasts rarely compete past their mid-20's.
