I watched it when it first aired, too! It's one of my favorites, actually. I watch it once or twice a year. (Park Kyuuuuuuu~~~ ♡♡)

Traditionally they were the breadwinners, at least until mainland Korea annexed the island. I don't know what it's like now, since I don't personally know anyone from Jeju, but from what I understand they're still pretty well respected.

This has been going on for hundreds of years. Traditionally they didn't have wetsuits or masks either.

All of these were eaten in Korea, usually when out with the in-laws or my husband's friends.

Huh. Just found my celebrity doppleganger.

I did a report on Bessie for Black History Month way back in like 2nd grade and I've basically been in love with her ever since. I think I still have the poster somewhere in my parents' house. That woman was amazing.

I mentioned this thread to him and he claims to have no knowledge of his noisy past. "I've always been a quiet eater!" Hahahaha.

By mocking him soundly and mercilessly and pointing out how much he resembles our dog when he does it.

As a person married to a Korean and who just spent a weekend with 20+ members of his family, I can tell you that yes, it's cultural.

Haha no, my mom is too awesome. The bitch was my uncle's bride.

I dunno, my dad has so many ridiculous stories from his youth (and even recently!) that I could write a three page obit and still not have tapped them all. This one is a serious contender, though.

My dad and his youngest brother (both groomsmen) got into a parking lot fistfight over my mom (a bridesmaid) at their brother's wedding. My parents met that day and liked each other immediately, but my mom and my youngest uncle were the same age and all of the relatives thought they should get together, so they kept…

Don't you DARE leave me hanging! What in the ever-loving FUCK??

Only a few off the top of my head, but my nickname as a child was "The Klutz" so I'm sure my parents have more.

Noted! I will have to ask Hubs and coworkers their opinions, so I'll hopefully have an order for you within a couple of weeks!

Okay, I've got a couple of questions.

YAY.

Yet another reason I'm glad I got married in Korea. We did a bouquet toss, but only to one person and she was informed weeks earlier that she'd be getting the thing. No fighting, no weirdness, just "Hey, you're getting married next year? HAVE A BOUQUET!"

In college I got a serious craving for baby food one day, specifically the banana baby food, and freaked out all of my friends when I brought back a grocery bag full of the stuff.

He was out with his buddies last night and didn't get in until 4am, so yay!
