Alcohol may have been involved (http://www.nbc-2.com/story/34231510/charlotte-county-maid-of-honor-turns-wedding-into-nightmare)

A lasting and vivid memory for all concerned no doubt - and isn't that how a good wedding should be?

Invitations can go horribly wrong, but so can non-invitations ...

Some people are difficult whatever you do! Maids of Horror are no exception ...

The best section of the story:

"She had her be her maid of honor, and it was a bad decision," said Robert Templeton.  (YA THINK???)

While Willis was supposed to be the bride's best friend, Jennifer Butler said the two are no longer friends. (DUH.)

This arrest is Willis' ninth in Charlotte County. She faces charges of larceny, battery, grand theft of a motor vehicle, and violation of probation. (OH, no wonder she was invited. It was for her sterling character.)

I've never understood why alcohol makes some people relaxed, but makes other people go stark raving mad.

Tying it all together, George and bassist Stan Lark are in sync while Jimmy sings.  :)

This could be the Maid of Honor's theme song.

Northerners and Europeans just dont appreciate our Southern traditions.

Born and raised Minnesotan.  But southerners are like the Borg from Star Trek and everyone is assimilated or dies once they move here.

Same is true for this native Texan in Minnesota. I do draw the line at lutefisk dinners, though.

I went to college in North Dakota a for a couple years and had Norwegian roomates.  They found it ridiculous that people actually still ate lutefisk. Apparently its a dying tradition in the homeland, they prefered sheeps head for their Chrismas dinners  :o

Rakfisk sounds like something I would love (I am now officially the  person in charge of making the fish preserves for special occasions in the family), but I have not had the pleasure as of yet.

The majority of the Canadian population lives right around the 49th parallel. In Europe that line runs through France. That's a good distance south of Kenny.

We're on the same post glacial exposed bedrock though ... and I know his handle should have tipped me off but his location slipped me mind.  Still, Canada can hardly be considerred the south

You won't find rakfisk around here, at least that I know of.

It´s only a matter of time before we export every fish we have here. Out of oil, you know :sad:

Inverness Green, Jake, and 15 miles north of there... Mind you, not as far north as some Scandahoovians we have on the site... :mrgreen:

Rock bits factual... a big chunk of Lewisian Gneiss is over in Canada and the rest is the Hebrides and the west coast of Scotland... that was some rock concert...

The immensity of the North American Continent beyond the Southern border of Canada can be hard to grasp. One way to think about it is to realize the US Canada border is the same distance from the equator as it is to the North Pole. It's a good thing Trudeau hasn't implemented Soviet era style resettlement because there are parts of the great North that could put the Gulag to shame. You never know with that guy though the way he gushed over Castro. What do you think GG? Did Fidel father Justin?

Otherwise, "one nation under Canada" woudn't make any sense in the Pledge of Allegiance, right?

Yep. All those mercator maps in school didn't do us any favors in that regard.

My favorite mind-boggling fact about the US/Canada border, that I had no idea of until just this week, is that a thousand or so miles of it is actually cut into the forest just  so you can darn well see where it is.

You need that clearcut border to prevent the illicit smuggling of fan fret basses that are so highly coveted here. In terms of the northernmost point, Alaska is up there but not as far as Canada and Greenland has the farthest northern land terminus of any nation. So it would be "one nation under Denmark" if you want to be technical about it.
