So I had never heard of Morris dancing before, but last weekend we got to see it in action. Apparently it is old-school English folk dancing. Like most things that you think of as 'english,' it has medieval roots but was reborn and modified in the Victorian era. I can't tell you a whole lot about it (these people can http://www.eastsuffolkmorris.org.uk/ESMM/8%20-%20FAQs/FAQs%20Frameset.htm) but I will say that it makes both amateur radio and triathlons look like downright normal uses of time.
