Weird TraditionsTalking with a friend yesterday about school dinners, she suddenly said, "We had to march into the dining room behind the School Band... except on Thursdays." Since all of us were now staring, she qualified this with, "...on Thursdays there was no wind section. It was a tradition."
What weird stuff have you been made to do "because it's a tradition."

I lived here...Devon Dan, i take it your an ex-leopard then?
My own personal tradition is one of having to secretly write my name somewhere on a building i've lived in. My first flat has written on the brickwork underneath the windowsill (flat was on the third floor, GF had to hold my legs whilst I worte it...) name and dates that I lived there. Next place, lifted up the carpet in one room loosened a floorboard, wrote name and dates on it and replaced it. Flat i'm currenlty selling has signature and date in teeny tiny writing on the bottom of a a skirting board, currently covered by carpet.
Not really sure why I do it, guess it's my low-tech unfamous equivalent of one of those blue plaques.
