That's some impressive self-restraint you got goin on there classic:P

I think loud burping is an Australian passtime really. We all do it at our house, and right now in my current state, I seem to be outdoing all the testosterone in the house.

At the end of the meal most of us will have a good burp. I'm not too keen on it in the middle of the meal, but it's ok if everyone's finished eating (except sometimes Mav has to put up with it because he is an interminably slow eater).

And how many letters of the alphabet have you gotten up to on one belch...?

Me and my bro used to have burping contests. My Dad used to tell us off :P

I still don't have a good answer as to why my elbows should not be on the table.

Everyone is always sitting across from me. Because that's polite. Now why should my elbow not be on the table?

How do you manage that when eating with more than 1 other person?

Cicero 08-14-2008 10:57 AM

Round tables. The only time anyone is really right next to me is when my husband and I feel like sitting together. Then it's really rude because we are intentionally in each others space and use that to our advantage. ;)

My dinner table is also set up with the chairs directly across and we really never have more than 4 people at one sitting.


I still want the answer, mind you. I will not be distracted with more questions when I want a good answer.

Are you serious?

I suppose it shows a slovenly attitude which is disrespectful both to company and to the cook.
That's my answer. Whether you think it is good or not is up to you.

Because it makes your breasts sag. ;)

Cicero 08-14-2008 11:05 AM

This is a very serious topic.....This is life or death here, let's figure this out!

You guys aren't really going to let me go around putting my elbows in the wrong places are you?!?
:)

If you put your elbows on the table you're likely to knock over your beer.

At least that's what my mom told me when I was little.
