Well...things from across cultural divides frequently look 'silly', but keep in mind that every one of those moves is straight out of the British Army parade manual...just ratcheted up a few thousand notches based on the ancient and powerful emotions involved. And it is phsically impressive...I mean, how high can you lift your leg in combat boots while maintaining a rigid posture? Not that high, I'm guessing. Also worth pointing out: these guys, on both sides, are well over six feet tall for maximum intimidation value, and all are the equivalent, in strength, training and intensity, to our Special Forces troops.
I just know I wouldn't want any of 'em mad at me...

Dylan has actually gotten better with age... IMHO.

I kept imagining some kind of exotic animal when watching them "front" each other. Like something you'd see on Animal Planet or National Geography channels. Almost like odd mating rituals, but definitely territorial.

Indeed! Maybe you and Mr. Bradshaw could join forces on a proper Rickenbacker vessel.
