They looked like a bunch of accountants that were filming a martial arts movie...

:shocked: Okay: I apologize for my insensitivity...
If the Bride liked it: that's all that matters! :thumbup:

If that was the foreplay: the wedding night is going to be... :bowdown::bowdown: :firstplace:

Couldn't have been Bob, no-one had a Pocket Protector with a Red, Green, or Purple pen (or all 3) in it stashed in their top pocket... :dontknow: So not accountants! :lecturef_smilie:

 

[Bob Denman]

I kind of thought that they had stripped-down for battle...

 

[Chupaca]

Yikes...!!

Don't know if the bride was happy or scared to death knowing she married into this....:yikes::roflblack::roflblack:

 

[HayRog]

Seen a few of these dance ceremonies -- that was pretty cool.

Errrrrrrrrrrrrr...I am an accountant and have not worn a pocket protector for years. We don't use colored pens much either. We have computers now. Also got rid of the visor and sleeve bands a few years ago. :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack: After I left Scrooge and Marley, my work situation became much better.

It is call a Haka

A traditional war cry, dance or challenge from the Maori of New Zealand... also performed for various reasons: for welcoming distinguished guests, or to acknowledge great achievements, occasions or funerals.

Here is another example:

The more I watch that the more I appreciate it. Cultural differences are amazing.

....... After I left Scrooge and Marley, my work situation became much better.

But they never said anything!! :shocked: And here's me thinking I was the only one who ever escaped from them!! :dontknow:

They must be getting a bit slack in their old age, or maybe just a wee tad too generous & no longer chasing down & dragging back kicking & screaming any elusive clerks who 'fail to report for duty extra early the day after' they've been given Christmas Day off! :yikes:

That Haka tribute dance...

... and the embraces after were very respectful and showed how deeply the people care about their heritage. I was appreciative of this small portion of their customs that are certainly ingrained in the culture. Thanks for sharing it....
