Again, tacky as fuck. If you can't afford a wedding, don't have one. Or wait til you can afford the wedding you want.
lol wut?
Never heard of that. Must be a Kanuckistan thing.

I know I'm a bit of the clutz sometimes, but I may have just taken it to the next level. I just did a load of laundry, and as I was hanging it out, a wet t-shirt slipped from my hands. In an effort to catch it before it hit the ground, I managed to punch myself square in the nuts

In China, at the wedding reception, you give a red envelope with cash in it before going in. They count the money in front of you and write it in a ledger. You give according to the level of the relationship, with 600 RMB being the standard for "normal friends" (about 100 usd). Close relationships are expected to give more.
When your wedding comes around they give slightly more than you as to not look cheap. If you are cheap at their wedding you will get snubbed at yours.
The same applies for funerals.
Wacky place. On your birthday you have to take your friends for dinner and pay. The rationale is that they will buy you gifts. You never come out ahead because the notion of a free meal makes them eat like pigs.

I am playing Wargame with some people right now and this random pubbie joins our Teamspeak, and he recognizes me from my project, and then he goes "oh I have a pretty famous piece of software too."

Confucian culture makes no sense and is retarded, but hey.

Fucking reverse colds. I get a head cold and its annoying, just kinda slows me down a bit, feels annoying having your head stuffed up... Then I get used to it and I am like "ah I feel better now" then a day or two later, bam sore fucking throat and I feel stuffed up again. Happens every fucking time.
