Birthday Happies to Anne!
Get-better-ma for Nilly.
I hope the guy who just knocked on my door asking to shovel my walk learned his lesson. He got the dogs barking madly and they woke the baby up from his nap. I gave him a nasty look and said, "no thanks." I need to get out there an shovel it myself or I'm going to have a dozen requests to clear it before the day is out.
Things a wedding needs: Bride; Groom; Tasty Cake-like Substance. All else is optional.
Plei, being still in some measure a Philly girl, I immediately imagined a wedding cake made of Tastykake.
And someone somewhere has probably done it.
No chicken dance! Also, no hora despite the many greeks in attendance. We did however do a conga line to The Clash's "Rock the Casbah" and that was very fun.
Hec, the next time you talk to her, could you please let her know that I adore her work and am goggle-eyed with envy that you know her well enough to make video compilations for her?
Oh Jilli, I don't know her personally. I'm just going to send it to her as a fan. I did meet her at A.P.E. three years ago and she was very pleasant and entertained to hear that (then 5 y.o.) Emmett was a huge fan. (Which he was.) Also, I got a really cool set of pins with the Blue Monday characters on them. One of which is holding the back of JZ's jacket tight. At that same A.P.E. I got Ariel Schrag to sign two of her collections which I sent to Lizard. Also, that's when Kim and I got together and conceived Lost in the Grooves. 'Twas a momentous A.P.E. for me. It was at the next A.P.E. however that I got a Strangers in Paradise drawing for Kat.
No chicken dance. The midwest will just have to be scandalized by our doubtfully-married state.
A cat in a coat, what's up with that?
Many hairless cats wear sweaters....

I've only been to two WI weddings (three if I count my own) and one MI wedding. No chicken dance at any of them.
I've only seen it done on a boat on the Potomac River. Never in WI.
Erm, we had "Sunrise, Sunset" as our father-daughter mother-son dance.
No chicken dance, no macarena. We did the hora, complete with chair lifting and people entertaining us.(If you saw the wedding pictures I mentioned, that's when the juggling by the guy with the bottle on his head
occurred)
Of course, we did kinda go full metal on the wedding...
I'm certain I could put a sweater on Ruby, and more certain that she would be miserable and desperately try to get it off and hate me forever.
My local video store had DVDs on sale, buy two get one free. I got the special edition Silence of the Lambs, 28 Days Later, and Before Sunset. I love frivoulous purchases.
Hec, isn't the Hora the Jewish dance? Am I twisting my Horas and Hava Nagilas? Help. I need posters of other ethnicities, now.
A WASP, a Jew, and a Greek walk into a bar...
