I am guessing the merry men are fabulous Irish dancers.

whenever the whole troupe lines up I get chills. I hear Michael Flatley cannot dance anymore due to injuries but he sure lit up the world with his creativity and talent.

Apparently decades of this kind of dancing on a daily basis is more than the human skeleton was designed to bear. But they sure brought a lot of joy to a lot people while they could. It's sad that they have to suffer now because of it.
they gave it their all. I hope the worldwide appreciation eases them a bit.
