"To mount, I kneel down and put my head between Charlotte's legs from the front and then stand up. She doubles over and grabs my waist, so unfortunately for her, her head is pretty much on my backside."

Said Jon Schwochert, the husband half of the winner of the UK's wife-carrying race. Notably, he's from Milwaukee.

I was glad you qualified that headline. I was thinking, "Worst dressage competition EVER..."

The article says the contest arises from the legend of wife-stealing in the 1800's Scandinavia.

Crazy bastards.

Finland is not part of Scandinavia, and Finns (except for those descended from the Swedish colonial occupiers) are not Scandinavians, but Finnish-Ugrians.

I've always found that contest to be a charming display of matrimonial silliness, and a counter to the prevailing "marriage = hell" message.

I'm actually surprised this goes on without feminists protest. Also surprised that they still include "wife" in the title, even though it may offend those who choose non-traditional unions.

Not surprised that they had to open it up to unmarried couples, such as these folks. They probably needed to do so to get enough participants, which is kind of sad.

Sorry, all you white people look the same to me.

If that's the way he mounts his wife, he's doing it wrong.

The trick appears to be to have a tiny, asian wife.

Full Moon, Ignorance is Bliss, MadasHell:

Sorry. Fruit so low I think I'd throw out my back trying to reach down for it.

I apologize for the inevitable disappointment: Indeed, I am disappointed in myself. Please trust: my lack of commentary is NOT because of a sudden sense of Good Taste on my part.

I am (tired) Laslo.

The thought never crossed my mind.
