Oh, re: my 'virginity tossing' skeeve... I might do it anyway since tossing flowers is just cool.
The winter Wedding Martha had a toss bouquet which was a bunch of little flower bundles tied with a ribbon so when you throw they go everywhere. That I might do... give my virginity to everybody.
Um...

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I'm afraid the best we could come up with was a conga line to "Rock The Casbah."
Man, that was a fun wedding.
I think of it every time I hear the Snoopy song.

I thought that was an urban legend.
It may be for cultures that used family names, but until 100 years ago in most of Scandinavia, common people did not have family names but followed the tradition still used in Iceland where men have the name Firstname Fathersfirstnameson and women have the name Firstname Fathersfirstnamedottir. Usually people were known by these two names and the name of the farm or village where they were born. So what happened at Ellis Island was that the immigrant generation name for the men was frozen in time (Svenson) and assigned to their wives and children, or people chose the name of the farm or village where they were born (Stordal). A few people chose the name of someone famous or the name of the local gentry back home. But they had to choose something.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Yay for shrift giving notice, and we should totally have a party. I'll bring the dip.
David, your employees suck major ass, and you are being a much better person about this than you need to be.
Raisins do not belong in other foods*. They should be eaten alone, or thrown away.

I prefer to think of it as:
"I hereby release my finding-a-loyal-and-loving-partner-ma into the wild, with a side of throwing-a-kickass-party-with-cake-ma!"
"Hooray!!!!"
Re-defining traditions is great. Like so many others (particularly with weddings), its the original notion that seems icky to me now.

My florist friend called those cluster bomb bouquets.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
But not at Ellis Island: there was no "name choosing" there. [link]

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."
