I just found out Lynnesin loves polka -- thus a moral dilemma

[LostinVA]

Can she still be my Sister From Another Mother, or must I disown her???

I need heartfelt advice from my DU Loungers.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

1. This is a much easier decision than the sex shop blindfold dilemma.

Disown her.

I mean, it's freaking polka, man. There's no excuse for that shit.

[LostinVA]

2. I know -- I've been able to ignore the whole Robert Plant thing

But POLKA???

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

3. And the Robert Plant thing is hard. I mean, she's in lust with this man...

:scared:

Polka is a deal-breaker, I'm afraid.

[bleedingheart]

8. you have never heard him sing "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You"

I take it....

Cuz that man has a voice that just makes me melt.

[Crazy Dave]

4. I think....

If you like polka that's okay

If you can dance or play polka and you're good at it, not okay.












I might as well go ahead and say it now....lighten folks, I'm kidding

[LostinVA]

12. Hmmm... I don't know if Lynne can dance or not

[JVS]

15. Blasphemy!

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

5. YES!!! Roll out the Barrel, we'll have a Barrel of Fun!

Now, where'd I put my accordion?

:party: :toast: :hug:

6. You need to schedule an intervention.

Here's a plan. Invite her to hang out with you guys in NJ and promise to take her to a polka holy spot in neighboring New York State. There's a restaurant, the Jolly Onion Inn, in Pine Island, NY (Orange County) that is owned by the family of the Grammy-award winning "Polka King", Jimmy Sturr. They play polka music on the PA and have photos and memorablia everywhere. She can even do her own web search to confirm this place exists.

Once she's in New Jersey, take her to an undisclosed location and let a professional polka deprogrammer cure her cultish devotion to the dark art.

[LostinVA]

7. OOOOH -- good idea

[bleedingheart]

9. What is wrong with Polka Music?

Hey...don't go dissin Lynnesin...cuz me and my Polka Posse here in Pittsburgh will have to come and get you....

Having grown up with polka music,...I can tell the difference between the types...Slovenian, Croatian, Polish...etc

[LostinVA]

10. Because it's fun to diss Lynnesin

It makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.

[bleedingheart]

11. well then diss away...

:-)

[ironflange]

13. Nothing. Nothing wrong with polkas.

In fact, that's the only dance I'm able to do.

[JVS]

14. I miss the Saturday Morning Polka show that I used to listen to in Pittsburgh

The best was to take a polka shower in the morning. Another cool thing was that the DJ's were these old people who acted as though they were broadcasting to their friends. Saying stuff like "In case you didn't hear it already, Myrna Kowalski died on Thursday, so this one's for her and we'll see everyone at St. Michaels"

[Critters2]

16. I like polka. Everyone polka'ed at my first church--

wedding receptions, anniversary parties, even the local Catholic Church's Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper had a polka band! That town was full of polka-ing fools!! I learned to love, and with good reason! It's fun, and easy to dance too--even easier after a beer or two! The best polka band was at the local nursing homes big annual dinner--what a party!! You can't beat Krauts for fun.

Now I serve very well-mannered English-descent types. Their idea of fun is not having fun.

[LisaM]

17. Who doesn't love a good polka?

You must not be from a part of the country where they have a lot of Polish weddings.

Also, some polkas are pretty darn close to zydeco.

[trof]

18. 5 card stud or 7 card draw?

Low hole card wild?
Roll your own?
:shrug:

[Left Is Write]

19. Is the polka played by Jimmy Page?

[LostinVA]

20. hahahhahahaha

[texanwitch]

21. I grew up listening to polka, my grandparents had it on all the time.

Polka should be the national dance.
