That'd be neat to hear in person, Tam.

*nod nod!* Listening made my wimpy lungs seize up, though. LOL

I'd prolly end up choking on my own spit if I tried... >.>;;

Guyses... what is throat singing?

Here's a helpful-ish Wikipedia entry on the topic.

And here's a couple good examples of it.

:OOOO
I am shooketh!!
The funky thing I do with my voice is throat singing! I need to find a teacher in Brazil right now!!

Some of the Asian styles sound pretty ghostly, like whistling and a jaw harp at the same time.

*flops* Finally able to come dink around on my laptop. Folks were out of town for the College World Series today, and I had a couple appointments, plus had to take the dog to the groomer's... and then once we were home, I had to sit upstairs with him so he wouldn't be lonely...

What a busy day, Den!

yeah Lawtan, mom said it sounded 'asian' xDD

O.o
...What are we talking about? *Is confused*

Inuit throat singing. The Competition song. This sounds a lot like what I heard yesterday, only the girl's partner wasn't there, and she had to sing alone.

This explains it a bit. It was a sport the women did to amuse themselves (whoever laughed or messed up first lost), and they would also use it to sing their babies to sleep. The singing, the woman's parka, and the sewn in tattoos were/are strong emblems of womanhood for the Inuit.

I don't know why, but Katajjaq makes me want to cry.

Kinda like how belly dancing started out as something women did for the fun of it.

oops, wrote lawtan when I meant tam.
Hope no one is offended xDDD

*beats mdom up with a piece of cooked spaghetti to show how offended I am*

Den, yeah. Come to think of it, similar.

lol remember when people on the community that you and I met on kept getting us confused for each other, Tam?

LOL! I remember that happening here!

I also still often hear peeps like Mars say they can't tell who wrote which character in our RP logs.

XD Decided if I wasn't going to let Weird swing anymore that your tritter'd go ahead? I was just wondering when you were going to be SkelitaDen again.

lol I just did it 'cause I wanted to.

Leaving this here...
.

I like it. :p-grin: Skelly butt sits on the swing better than the skirty sitting butt does.

*steps in what Lawtan left* Eeep! I didn't watch because of the warning, but I bet it's neat.

/eats spaghetti

4h!! I'll do it when I have time xD

PASGHETTI FOR ALL!

Even the growly shelf.

A german friend said they have spaghetti ice cream there xDD
well, it's vanilla ice cream shaved into spaghetti form with strawberry sauce as the tomato sauce xDD

This isn't ice cream. This is pasghetti. Some with tomato sauce and some with spicy unsweetened apple sauce.

apple sauce... interesting... I wonder how it tastes.

I'm tempted to make pasghetti-skewered hot dog bites... but I don't feel like cooking anything tonight...

*Hugs the Den*
Well...pasghetti salad is good...

or just... order food xD

Yummy.

That costs a lot.

That's true, unfortunately... there should be a cup noodles delivery. For free.

I wish my town had an oriental grocery store, then I could buy food I actually wanna eat even when nothing else sounds appealing.

Gotta make some asians migrate to your town xD

That won't happen anytime soon. My town is a small town, and it's kinda stagnant and possibly starting to fall apart, economy-wise.

Aw D:
unrelated but I really like your wonder woman avatar!

Wouldn't do me much good. I love instant noodles, but they make me very very very sick.

most instant noodles have stuff in 'em that make me sick. I have to read labels and make sure there's either a separate seasoning packet, or that there's no MSG in it at all.

Yeah, so easy to make, but so unhealthy <.< It's a sad thing.

...I would seriously maim someone right now for a crate of the black rice noodle ramen I used to get at Whole Foods down in Kansas City. The noodles themselves are so good, and there's no MSG in the broth mix.

You know, they actually have the gall to say that there's no scientific proof that MSG makes headaches?

Hey, Den. Weird wants to go superhero with Nubia.

Can I be a rainbow supervillain?

I see those claims from time to time. I think they're full of it.

Superhero away! :D
