Shake it all about

Aerobics, Pilates, yoga? Please, that’s so yesterday. The latest exercise craze is Bollywood dance, based on the choreographed scenes in Indian musicals.

If it means we no longer have to watch pudgy 55-year-old men do the Macarena at baseball games, we’re all for it.

A debt to society: The state Attorney General’s Office is suing an Everett debt collection agency, alleging it has intimidated and harassed people, calling them, among other things, “losers,” “scum” and “deadbeats.” It could mean fines of up to $2,000 per infraction.

And when it can’t pay up, we hope the AG’s office invites those who were harassed to call the agency and — politely — ask for the money.

Born to be riled: A motorcycle group has canceled its annual show in Snohomish, angry that the city has asked it to fork over $30,000 to pay for police to patrol the event, when other groups aren’t asked to pay that much for their events.

We see their point. You can’t imagine the damage that can result when the quilt group comes to town and gets hopped up on Earl Grey tea and pastries.
