So I think it is safe to say that it was not "stolen" from the Omegas.

BTW this post makes me the only other D9er who has responded in this thread and I only did so for clarification. Carry on.

You're too funny.

So if you're doing it and other people do it too, there's no need to stop unless you just want to create something totally new and if I understood you correctly, that's what you're trying to do.

Right, I did understand that part. The reason it's gonna be hard to keep doing the blacklight puppet thing in general is that the omega psi phi signature move was the perfect way to give the short puppet illusion (since it's dark, people actually believe it's one person). I was thinking maybe we could just crouch or something but then there are some parts where it looks like both our feet are in the air which can only be possible with two people (simply the one on the ground just kicks up both feet).

ah well, we'll think of something. Anyways, thanks rhoyaltempest -again- for helping. Since almost no one else is posting in this thread, I think if I have further questions I'll just ask her directly (and maybe ladygreek for some clarifications )

To clarify my point I have seen the Omega "signature step" used the same way you described. So I see no reason you should stop doing it. I might even venture to say that is where the Omegas got the idea to do the step--from seeing it done elsewhere.
