Ridiculous holiday tattoos is the only thing air can think of

I don’t think getting married when drunk is very common at all outside of Vegas.
Are there other places in America that allow it?
I think Reno, Nevada does some similar antics. And possibly Atlantic City, NJ. All of them have local economies based on casinos (and historically, organized crime).
That makes total sense haha
I’d have to imagine that there’s something similar involving Afterskis or Finnish cruises.
Getting married in Blackpool by a smashed scouser teenager in a track suit.
Getting married by a fake pope across the tracks in the seedy outskirts of East Vatican City.
Would the Vatican tolerate papal imposters?
…That feels like suicide by Catholicism, somehow
Quick reminder that “Europe” is a mosaic of countries, and that there is a huge difference between let’s say, Portugal, Austria and Latvia.
I don’t really think there is a country which would be so liberal regarding marriage that you could get married by Elvis or a Machine on short notice amd drunk just to get laid (on the other hand, most European cultures stopped caring about marriage, and donxt need it to get laid or have kids)
Kinda like when people lump California and Alabama together when talking about Americans. Annoying, isn’t it?
The differences between California and Alabama are still an order of magnitude or more smaller than between e.g. Portugal and Latvia.
I live in California. I’ve been to Alabama, Portugal, and Latvia (just this year for the Baltics, great places). I disagree.
Parts of the deep south are just fucking alien in a way I’ve never felt anywhere else.
Different places in Europe are, of course, different. But different in a way you can wrap your head around with an undercurrent of commonality. The same things being done in interestingly different ways by normal people.
The sense of dislocation and strangeness I feel in certain (not all) places in the deep south is far beyond anything I’ve experienced, not just in Europe, but also Asia, South America, and North Africa.
All you just told me is that you haven’t been to either. You couldn’t be more wrong.
Yeah, the region in question was meant to be broad since this is a pretty specific and peculiar subject.
Sometimes there’s no European equivalent to American depravity.
In the mid-20th century, America was considered so culturally bankrupt that the CIA thought it should create some.
BBC: Was modern art a weapon of the CIA?What about mimes?
Getting a tattoo or getting baptised whilst hammered
Is getting drunk and getting baptized really a thing? Because if so, I think that might win.
There was polish documentary showing some trashy village in the middle of nowhere. Everyone just waited for Saturday because that’s when local disco had party with strippers. Guys would fingerbang strippers right on the stage. But I think that’s more trashy than drunk Elvis wedding. Equivalent is probably getting drunk on vodka and banging an ugly chick in the bathroom of that disco.
i feel bad for the strippers thats so sad
Royal weddings.
