6/7/2005: Hindu toad wedding - Page 2

Happy Monkey · 06-08-2005, 01:10 PM

You just have to dance long enough, or find exactly the right pair of toads to marry. Keep trying; it will work eventually!

According to my Hindu colleagues here it is not a Hindu ceremony but just one of many local beliefs turned to when someone is in trouble or something is wrong such as a drought. It could just as easily been two donkeys they say.

It's skeptics like you that cause droughts, ya know.

Toads are probably cheaper than donkeys.

my home is in serious drought at the moment.. maybe i should invest in some toads?

i wonder if marrying Fly's or stick insects would have the same effect??

--Or just offer UT and Jacq. a free venue for a down under wedding

Maybe. You already sent your Rain Man, Howard, there, albeit two years too late and he couldn't fix it. SAVE WATER SHOWER WITH A FRIEND. Oops that's the other thread and you said it doesn't work for you!

Something for your bali thread.

Here in the US all you have to do is wash your car.

Or leave your convertible top down or sunroof open when you go inside for a couple of hours.

Works every time.

Unless you're conscious of the effect. Somehow the gods know that.

Kind of like not doing your homework because snow is predicted. Best way to chase a major french toast conspiracy storm away from the entire region.

in MY neck of the woods, all I have to do is mow the lawn.

Yesterday, I had an appt with my blood-sucker...ah, I mean, lawyer, and I forgot. That should not surprise anyone who knows me. However, the Gods wanted me to make that appt for reasons of their own. So, at ten minutes prior to the appt, they rained on me enough to make me put away my implements of destruction, notice the time and make my appt. Five minutes after I get in the office, it stops raining and out came the sun, just like in Florida!

And yes, washing my car will do it too.

Is this what you were referring back to? Not sure I see the resemblance, but it was nice to have an excuse to find that somewhere.

xoxoxoBruce · 06-10-2005, 09:37 PM

No...This.
