Passsing on Traditions...
.jpg)
Well as Tuesday came and went, my friends visit from Canada continued much like it arrived, with them living in Huntsville, and I on the way out. It really odd when people visit and they get there before you do, and leave after you do. But oh well... seems to be the life I live right now (temporary hopefully). Soon I will return to being a local.
But yes before they left we had to share some of the more intriguing games we have learned here in the south. You know those games that you can only play once in you life... and then ... well you are "in".
So before Le Jud passed back on to the great north, we shared classics like, Booga Booga Boo; Hug the Pot Holder; Mr. Macintosh: among others. One thing is sure: they now have an arsenal of tricks to pull out of the bag on the rest of those Canucks.
So if you are confused, and never played these games; well dont ask: your day is coming. And for the rest of us, we'll keep laughing.

Ah yes, those insane games from the south, I almost forgot how embarrassing it was till you posted a picture on your website. lol. No really it was too much fun. We'll break the canucks in easy here with the pinchy pinchy, if we throw the booga booga boo at them right away we may frighten them.

I remember pinchy pinchy. And Mr. Macintosh, and the horror of having to hug the pot. Ugh. . .but in all truth, these fun natured games are a good way to make your supposed friends hate you even more. So Jeremy, we hate you! Yay! And I'm not ashamed to say it. Actually, Jeremy, hating you would be like hating myself. . .only you know, not as consistent as hating myself.

I am sorry I missed that night. Judi I must say that is a nice picture. You look like much is on your mind. I am even more sorry I missed it because I have never played those games...now I know to avoid them at all cost!!!

i'm not so sure that you canadians should be participating in booga booga boo ----- traipsing around in wet pants with such inclemency is a recipe for hypothermia if i've ever heard one.

The last time I exchanged traditions with Canadians, my German friend Noah and I hopped the border so that he could teach the wonders of a certain beverage concoction to me, known then only as an:
"Irish Car Bomb"
Need I say more?
Also, I think the best part about meeting the Canadian girls was finally figuring out how to pronounce their Jeremy-imposed nickname. In my head, "Le Jud" sounded like a southerner mocking the french language and trying to explain to a bourgeois cafe waiter named Jean Luc that either Ashley or Wynnona were in a new movie (think "LEH'-judd", sort of like Legend).
However, after the sense stresses and intonations were imparted to me, the resulting "Le Jud" (think "lay-SHOOD'") rolled much more amorously off of the tongue. It brought to mind visions of a billboard with the likenesses of cold looking supermodels in parkas bearing the caption:
"We are Le Jud...purveyors of fine French-Canadian Parfume...Worship Us"

You make a good point, D.A. a good point indeed. Le Jud is definitely the name of a fine french something, if not perfume, than definitely a fine french beret, or even a good shiraz. Which I'm almost certain doesn't even come from France. Its good to be educated. At least that's what Jerm tells me. To Le Jud's ultimate coolnes and credit, they cleaned Jerm's house (sorta) before they pseudo-left. Then the ensuing ruckus at his house ended in us wrecking all that we'd cleaned. Oh well. . .that hole in the fish tank is everlasting proof that we know how to use a towel.

". . .that hole in the fish tank is everlasting proof that we know how to use a towel."
Or the popped balloon. Or Alex inability to walk straight. Or Tre's floor floundering. Or Josh and I's "Snakebite Dishrag Fu" style. Or, even, the misty "hsssssssss" as your .44 Magnum towel exploded over someones backside.
Ahhh, I can only hope that when Armageddon arrives, Jehovah will allow me to release all of my pent up, righteous indignation upon the heathens with a generous strip of well moistened terry cloth.

I like me the memories, hyuck hyuck...

Le Jude... a beret? I think not... they are more models for tookes. Yes indeed I can see the marketing adds now.
You Looke... I tooke!
What ya think Le Jude!? We'll take the market by storm!

I like the sounds of that, just as long as I'm making some money off of this.

".44 Magnum towel" That towel was definitely the great equalizer. Sure I may be slower than others, but I pack the power of the Dirty Harry, in all of its franchising glory. Okay, I'm not making sense anymore, not even to me. I'll stop now.

This is the next century where the universal is free. You can find it anywhere. It could happen. Really. Really really.

Is a female sacrifice part of the game, or did the party just get out of hand.
Posted by: garrett | July 11, 2004 10:23 PM
A female sacrifice is part of the game, yes.

I have never played pinchy, I just have one question: do you need war paint in order to play it (as this picture seems to indicate)? j/k :p
