Ok, bachelorette party. But I'll do the more formal shower, too, and it'll be all kinds of fun.

D'oh! I was thinking of bachelorette parties, too.

The favourite shower involved replacing the stock of whips that the bride to be's mother had just tossed out.

Oh, NO! ita, that's too funny!

I threw a formal shower where one of the games was stolen right from B.org...the "What's your porn name?" game. The bride's father came out (he's from out of town, so had to stay, was amazed and delighted at the amount of good food and wine to be had at a bridal shower -- "THAT'S why women have these!")

He solemnly announced, this solid Midwestern dad with the walrus mustache and comfortable paunch, that his porn name was "Fluffy Eagle."

People were PEEING laughing. It was great. He wandered back into the kitchen, smiling, for more cream puffs.

One of the things I found amusing in Spain was when I climbed to peak at Monserrat (highest point in Spain! Wooohoo! But I didn't go all the way up) was the utter and complete lack of anything preventative-safety wise. Oh, there was that Peligro! sign. Lying on its side where it had fallen 15 feet down a cliff on the crumbling trail. Pretty much summed up warnings everywhere I went. You do something stupid and get maimed or die? Sucks to be you.

Love this. We skiied at Whistler/Blackcomb years ago and all the crazy cliffs and other death-inducing terrain were marked with tiny little orange frisbees that said "cliff" in small letters. hee hee! As opposed to the American ski resorts with copious fencing and gates and big honking warning signs.

Kat and I were gonna play hooky tomorrow and go skiing/snowboarding, but it seems we've already missed the good post-storm snow window. One local resort says their snow surface "Ranges from machine groomed hard packed powder on the steeper slopes to machine groomed hard pack that develops a thin wet layer for most of the day." Ugh.

See, we don't HAVE $20. That's part of the thing.

Both the Bad Bridesmaids?

Well-paying full-time jobs.

You could come ski here! It's all fluffy and shit. Of course, city, but... I'll bet ther mountains have fluffy pack.

I threw a formal shower where one of the games was stolen right from B.org...the "What's your porn name?" game.

I can never think of a clever porn name. One of my college roommates replied, "Buster Hymen" when we tried thinking of porn names one drunken night. This caused a mental block for me that I can never quite get past.

Can you get the $20 from the Bad Bridesmaids? Otherwise, just use a dollar store doll, and that link for a model.....

Of course, the cake barbie comes with a Special Enclosure -- for which I'm guessing you could use a TP roll.

BWahahahahhahahaha! I adore the porn name bridal shower story. Must COMM.
