Gumbo is a soup with seemingly random ingredients. So is this YouTube video, what with Roger Moore, the Muppets, and the Village People’s In the Navy.

Dancing Marines?
Corporal Kelsey De Santis invites Justin Timberlake to the Marine Corps Ball
What is the Corps coming to? A Marine stationed at the Martial Arts Center for Excellence (MACE) in Quantico, Virginia, Corporal Kelsey De Santis, challenged Justin Timberlake to a dance-off:
“My friends keep saying, ‘Dance-off!’ They know about my skills,” Cpl. De Santis told Access Hollywood’s Billy Bush and Kit Hoover of her “multiple signature moves,” including “The Dougie.”
“I honestly don’t think he’ll be able to keep up with my group of people… I don’t think he’ll be able to keep up with us.”
The Dougie, is that some exotic Parris Island training she learned on the sly? She sure looks happy:

How the heck did the Marine ever get hooked-up with the ex-’N Sync’er? Well, tactical blood-curdler that a corporal is, she asked him:
The Marine, who is stationed at the Marine Corps base at Quantico, invited Justin to the Marine Corps Ball back in July on YouTube, saying, “And if you can’t go, all I can say is, ‘Cry me a river!’”
She wins points for bravery and strategic brilliance. As for the Dougie, the jury is still in session. The footage has not been smuggled out of Quantico. Yet. But it will. I know junior enlisted. . .
In the Navy, Village People
Frank Sinatra in a bad Dixie
Never again will the Marine Corps be able to joke about either:
