We attended a DINING OUT for the Naval Hospital last night... a formal event with a lot of silliness and "roasting" within the hospital. It's an event to bring everyone together in a formal setting (in what you wear) but in a very silly and fun way. Dale was actually selected to be Mister Vice, which was basically the emcee for the night. As you can imagine, he was in his element! At one point he even broke out in song... a twist of the song, "Favorite Things" from the Sound of Music. Now that we've been on island for more than 8 months - we've met some incredibly GREAT people, which made for a more enjoyable event
Arriving early... hmmm... imagine that! This is one event you do not want to be late - since it would mean being sent to the GROG or to be "charged" a fine!
If anyone wanted to speak... they needed to ask permission from Mister Vice BEFORE addressing Mister President.
Parading of the BEEF... is one of the crazy traditions during a DINING OUT. You can only imagine the laughter and the noise when out walked a real Carabao (LUCY - apparently, a local & favorite Carabao) was greeted with a loud applause... which of course caused this to happen....
From a distance all I saw was the tail go up... and I knew what was to follow (Poor Lucy!) So glad I wasn't sitting at that table... although it didn't matter because the foul aroma oozed on over to our table!
Once OUT - the two guys in suits did "rock, paper sissors" to see who had to clean up the mess! What a crappy job! Literally!!!!
...the reaction of everyone was too funny!
THE GROG - a concoction of anything and everything mixed together to create a ALCOHOLIC & a non-Alcoholic drink... and since this is the Naval Hospital Dining Out... they created the GROG with things you'd find in a hospital!!!! *Are you getting the idea that this is a fun event?!*
getting ready to drink THE GROG!
TOASTING...
Between the three of us... we have 12 kids. On Memorial Weekend - the RaMcCanson Family of 18 will be hangin' in Saipan for some R&R and a little "get-away".
... a little dancing to burn off those extra calories!
A great night with friends!!!
