A cat in a coat, what's up with that?
Many hairless cats wear sweaters....

Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I've only been to two WI weddings (three if I count my own) and one MI wedding. No chicken dance at any of them.
I've only seen it done on a boat on the Potomac River. Never in WI.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Erm, we had "Sunrise, Sunset" as our father-daughter mother-son dance.
No chicken dance, no macarena. We did the hora, complete with chair lifting and people entertaining us.(If you saw the wedding pictures I mentioned, that's when the juggling by the guy with the bottle on his head occurred)
Of course, we did kinda go full metal on the wedding...

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I'm certain I could put a sweater on Ruby, and more certain that she would be miserable and desperately try to get it off and hate me forever.
My local video store had DVDs on sale, buy two get one free. I got the special edition Silence of the Lambs, 28 Days Later, and Before Sunset. I love frivoulous purchases.

Hec, isn't the Hora the Jewish dance? Am I twisting my Horas and Hava Nagilas? Help. I need posters of other ethnicities, now.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

The Hora is a Jewish dance. (Well, I think that, if you want to be really technical about it, it's an Israeli dance.) The song it's usually danced to is Hava Nagila.
t edit: although, now that I've done a bit of googling, it looks like the Hora is also the name of an ancient Greek dance that's still danced in Romania
t edit again: and a bit more googling tells me that the Israeli hora was influenced by dances brought by Romanian Jews, who were probably influenced by the Romanian hora, which was probably based on that Greek hora.

Erm, we had "Sunrise, Sunset" as our father-daughter mother-son dance.Yeah, we might have had it sung in the church. I'll have to ask my mother (because if we did, we did it for her benefit). I know we had Noel Paul Stookey's The Wedding Song (There Is Love) sung. We couldn't afford a band, so we had a DJ at the reception. We danced our first dance to Stevie Wonder's Overjoyed. You may all proceed to gag as I tell you that my father and I danced to Daddy's Little Girl, but we did, and so there, also neener. I can't remember what song Scott & his mom danced to.
Scott had all sorts of rules when we sat down to plan the music with the DJ. No Celebration, no Chicken Dance, no YMCA, etc. The DJ talked him down to a slightly softer stance, because he said even though those songs were eye-roll worthy, people still *do* enjoy them, which is precisely why we hear them enough to get sick of them. Scott refused, however, to compromise on Old Time Rock and Roll, and I er...stood by my man, even though I really didn't care what else played, as long as the songs we did want were played, and as long as people were having fun, and the music wasn't so ear bleedingly loud that people couldn't talk (particularly the older relatives who'd be quick to let us know if it was too damned loud).
