Endure the sarcasm of the bridesmaids

[Recidiva]

Okay, I'm doing some research on wedding traditions and this caught my eye:

Mongolian traditional wedding:

Testing the Bridegroom's Strength through Breaking Sheep's Neck

"In the Erdos area, after a Mongolian bridegroom and his party arrive at the bride's home to escort her, they're treated like VIPs and everyone eats, sings and dances together. A person who is assigned to express good wishes from the bride's side secretly leaves the banquet and leads the bridegroom to the bride's room. After they sit down, bridesmaids take a cooked sheep neck to entertain the bridegroom and ask him to break the neck through the middle with his hands to test his strength. In order to make fun of the bridegroom, the bridesmaids will already have inserted a red willow stick or an iron stick into the marrow of the sheep neck. If the bridegroom is told by someone beforehand, he can see through the trick and first take out the stick and easily break the sheep neck. Others who don't know the trick are unable to break the neck and must endure the sarcasm of the bridesmaids."

I'm going to collect or make up wedding stories and traditions, this is a good start.

Because a bridesmaid hasn't had a good night if she hasn't shoved a stick through the marrow of a cooked sheep's neck.

This has convinced me that I can make up just about anything for a marriage ceremony.

"The groomsmen are expected to hang garlands of paper clips that were laboriously constructed while drunk. Finding a bent paper clip required that all groomsmen drink Chicha, a saliva-fermented beer. It is traditional that by the end of the evening, the resultant paper clip chains are of shoddy workmanship. The worst is hung behind the chair of the bride, out of sight, as a reminder of things to come."

(I didn't make up Chicha. Ew.)

It is the mucus that binds us.

Mucus swaps are traditional.

I can't explain the Hokey Pokey though. Unless...

"You reach to your lover with your hand, but you fail in your courage and it trembles. You reach to your lover with your feet, but you fail in your courage and it trembles. Only at that point where all of you reaches toward your lover and you are entirely committed, can you tremble with the joy of true love."

The chicken dance still stumps me.

Swapping spit with the person you want to break a sheep's spine with is one thing. Chugging their relatives spit is something else altogether. Omg.

 

[girlsmiley]

I'd rather pash the sheep.

You made me Google pash. I'm learning all sorts of things today!

Great word.

Rather do that than Chicha or Hokey Pokey, break a sheep's neck or get married?

 

[girlsmiley]

I'm rather surprised.

Pash is quite common down under.

Passionate kissing. Pash.

This is why I have to do research.

Never heard of it. There aren't many Australian celebrities here that say much about being Australian. I can only think of a few.

Toni Collette hasn't been Australian in years. Marton Czokas only got to be Australian in a film about a tree.

There's Rebel Wilson, but if she said pash I wouldn't know the difference between that and a dismissive "posh" as in "pish posh"

Well with a name like Rebel what could a person expect really?

 

[girlsmiley]

Lol

AWESOMENESS!

I can't wait for Pitch Perfect 2. Two weeks!

It sucks that her show was canceled, though. That was excellent stuff.

I've had a serious jones for Toni Collette since jump. She's so good as an actress that it shocked me when she let her accent loose and I realized she's an Aussie.

My fave movie of hers, one reason because there's an erotic scene where she fucks the Japanese tourist protagonist by riding him clothed.

It's a fucking good movie, though. View it.

Toni Collette will always be Australian in our eyes. She's Aussie as they come. Homegirl is from Blacktown ffs lol. She's our homegirl.

I can't wait, either!

I will, I've been a huge fan since Muriel's Wedding. Didn't get to see this one though, so I will check it out.

Yeah, I remember seeing her in "The Sixth Sense" where she's his mom and thinking...this is a lady that can do stuff.

I really love it when I can't recognize some actors because they transform so completely. She can do it.

I really liked United States of Tara as a performance, though the story was deeply silly. I still got to see Eddie Izzard too, so double bonus.

We will have a new soundtrack to sing!

Anna Kendrick doesn't suck either and was great in Into The Woods. I really expected them to screw it up, but they got actual singers. SO. PROUD.

Ulaven has adapted to my love of soundtracks. I'm grateful.

I swear the reason I married the man has to do with his voice. Look, if you can sing "Bad Things" better than Jace Everett, I'm in.

 

[girlsmiley]

I'd be more impressed if he can sing Gambler by Kenny Rogers word for word.

When the dealing's done.

I know for an absolute fact that he can.

I'm just that lucky.

 

[girlsmiley]

And once again Gambler trumps the female version of Bailamos by Enrique Iglesias.

I've got nothing against dancing, now, but duh.

Mostly I only listen to soundtracks when she's in the car with me. When I'm alone it's Metallica, Saliva, AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Disturbed, etc.

I know you listened to Les Miserables on your own. I know it.

Your music is mean to my ears.
