Basically any excuse to have a lavish party. Today's teenaged girls anguish over their prom dresses, the couples go to upscale restaurants and arrive at the prom in limousines. Kinda like a mini-wedding. There's also the Mexican-American custom of quinceaneras, held when a girl is fifteen -- a sort of coming-of-age ceremony. Big big party -- think a wedding with a bride and no groom. Lock-ins after graduation -- I suppose you'd hold this after GCSEs. After graduation night from high school here in the US, there is an unspoken rule that the kids want to stay out all night and get drunk. Therefore many of them are killed. So there are "lock-ins" where kids go and stay the night -- entertainment and food all night long, sometimes laser tag and the like -- a big coed pajama party. Spring break. Dunno how to pull this one off without beaches or ski resorts, but the beach one is pure drunken debauchery for a week in which everyone's trying to bag as many babes as possible. Tattoo parlors make good money. Hmmmmmm.... do you guys "roll" or "wrap" houses? that's where a kid's "friends" come and "decorate" the front yard/garden with toilet paper streaming from trees. Rite of passage. Also writing on a car's glass with shoe polish which is now sold in more than just white for just this purpose. Oh, that's just the beginning.... ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 18 Jul 2003 23:53:14 +0100 From: "Noose Boy" Subject: seven-seas New Order - Your Silent Face You never replied??? ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 18 Jul 2003 17:55:27 -0500 From: "Ted Turner" Subject: Re: seven-seas New Order - Your Silent Face one of the most beautiful things ever created tt <---------------------------------------------------> Ted Turner: UWSA/CKUW 95.9 FM Advertising & Sponsorship Manager Ph: 204 786 9779 *** Fx: 204 783 7080 Room 0R32 - University of Winnipeg 515 Portage Ave Winnipeg MB Canada R3B 2E9 tturner2@uwinnipeg.ca www.theuwsa.ca www.ckuw.ca <---------------------------------------------------> Rates/specs: CKUW - www.ckuw.ca/ratecard.jpg Stylus - www.ckuw.ca/stylusrates.pdf Uniter - http://www.uwinnipeg.ca/~uwsaweb/Uniterrates_page_1.htm Handbook- www.ckuw.ca/UWSA_handbook.jpg - www.ckuw.ca/Handbook_Specs. - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Noose Boy" To: Sent: Friday, July 18, 2003 05:53 PM Subject: seven-seas New Order - Your Silent Face > You never replied??? > > > > ====================================== > http://www.bunnymenlist.com > > ====================================== ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 19 Jul 2003 00:20:18 +0100 (BST) From: =?iso-8859-1?q?Stu=20Bird?= Subject: Re: seven-seas proms OTOTOTOT You're right Loo.. Our 16 yr old had a school "prom" this year.. I was laughing my nuts off for days.. Erm.. "don't you mean school disco ?" It was only gonna be a matter of time, especially where kids are concerned.. We always follow the American lead.. MTV, McDonalds, Rap music etc etc.. and I ain't saying that it's either a good or bad thing before anyone accuses me once again of being anti-USA, as has happened in the past here. I'm hoping the next thing we adopt is Independance Day.........

Had to be nearly 12:45 by then....A 3 year old??? Should've been ready for bed before you even had to leave the house to go to the gig since it was in your own town! Nevermind what a lousy babysitter you must've had!!!! I would've said "It's my turn to do something for me. Goodnight, I'll see you in the morning!"
