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."

ATTN BOOGLYSTICKS!Unbelieveable! Another Westminster b3tan!
Being a scholar (straightens imaginary tie) I have to do all sorts of weird shit. One tradition is going into the Abbey every Monday night at 9, and performing plainchant for 10 minutes wearing a gown. Think that's bad? The other one is attending a service in Westminster Abbey one Sunday a term. In a morning coat. Last time, this clashed with a 10km charity run in which I wanted to compete, so I waited till the service was over, threw on some trainers and proceeded to run 10km, over an hour late, in full morning dress. Got the photos to prove it.
This still goes on in 2005 - I am still there.
