Lamb's Head Party

Okay, so I worked at Gotland's nation last night at the Lamb's Head Gasque from 3-midnight and I'm pretty sure I only got paid like...25 dollars. But whatever, it was still really fun. Basically the night consisted of me and some 15 other people serving like 200 guests 2 courses (and drinks).

They actually ate lamb's heads.

LAMB'S HEADS.

Let me tell you, they smell really bad. Also, there's very little meat on them, mostly just the cheek, and if you're "lucky" enough to get a tongue, which not everyone did. The precourse was some weird bread with sauce that had lamb and apple in it. Not a very good dinner if you ask me, but apparently it's a tradition. Anyway, it was formal so everyone was real fancy, but keep in mind this IS a nation and there was very LITTLE in the way of actual food, so with all the drinks everyone got, everyone got real drunk real quick.

What's the big deal, you ask?... well I'll tell you. When Swedish people get together and get drunk this means they do ridiculous things. Such as popping out the eyeballs of unsuspecting lamb's heads and putting them in shots and taking the shots. WITH THE EYEBALL IN IT. Some people got really drunk and didn't realize that the nerve attached to the back of the eye shouldn't actually be consumed, nor the lens of the eye. But that doesn't stop them. Oh no.

Proceed to people dressed in their underwear and then donning horns that make them look like naked sheep. A couple of guys prancing around in lamb loin clothes and horns playing the fiddle. Overall everything just got ridiculous, I can safely say that. Then we cleared the tables and moved them away because there was a live band that night. The after party commenced.

Oh wait, let me rewind for a minute. At the party there was this stuff called "Gotland's Brew". It's some kind of mix between beer and liquor and tasted about as bad as if you would mix the two, at any rate. Well it's illegal everywhere to make it except Gotland (the island) because it's a tradition. Well Gotland's Nation imported a bunch of it to serve to the guests and there was some left over. Wondering why it's illegal?

Well apparently it's a lot more alcoholic than you would think by just tasting it. So you're like oh, well this is pretty gross but it's not that alcoholic. WRONG.

= me really drunk dancing to Miley Cyrus and God only knows what else.

GO SWEDEN GO!
