This weekend I went to Montana (yes, again) for Dre’s sister’s elopment reception. If you’re really into family pictures (or penguins being eaten), you’re welcome to take a look.
Additionally, I’ve got a challenge for you, my readers. First, watch this video. It’s a 12mb .avi file of me and the ladies in Montana playing this cup-passing game that I learned at Twin Lakes 4-H Camp in 1990. It’s got gibberish lyrics (”entree, zeroach-a-roach a-rolla rock, poka a lina poke, a lina berry chook a chook a chook!”) and I assume at some point it was a drinking game. But then someone took the beer out of it and taught it to 4-Hers instead? I have no idea and I’m sort of curious. Anyone recognize it? Can anyone tell me where it came from or what the lyrics mean? This may be a question for Ask Metafilter. Regardless, it was fun to play. In fact, the whole weekend was supremely entertaining. I even got called a “blobber“!
