One of my favorite sites is Etiquette Hell, a collection of some of the most unbelievable faux pas and bad manners ever. There's a new thread on the Discussion Forum regarding a wedding invitation a poster received, formal and correct except for the blurb “Bring your own meat!” across the bottom. Aside from the blatant etiquette breach of expecting guests to provide their own refreshment, and forgetting for the moment how this meat is to be kept fresh during the ceremony, I had this instant vision of a room full of people, all dressed in extremely formal clothing, holding drippy packages of bloody meat. A dancing couple waltzes past in my head, but instead of holding her tiny evening purse in the hand that goes over the gentleman’s shoulder, the lady is clutching a big ol’ t-bone steak. The gentleman's tux-tail is hiked up on one side because there's a pork loin in his pocket.

Why not go one step further and hold a “shoot your own meat” gathering? Guests stalk and kill their own entree, and must eat whatever they personally shoot. Too bad if you don’t like wild boar, you can’t mooch off of Uncle Roger’s venison. Of course, that might lead to problems if someone shoots a deer hunter...
