I like those, ita. I wonder if I should trash my media center and get a complete set.
No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Jesse, we have such good and bigger-than-just-us reasons for getting married. We deserve it. Why isn't it happening?
Lee! You have to take your VCR. I know you have a TiVo and a DVD player, but it would be like ... forgetting your underwear or something.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
We deserve it. Why isn't it happening?
All we're trying to do is fight the power! Make change from within the institution! And yet. Thwarted at every turn.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I don't really want to get married. But I would like the dress.

Lee, leave the VCR. When is the last time you used it? Plus, if you needed one in a pinch they are cheap cheap cheap.....

Theoretically, the dress is the easy part. It's the excuse that's hard. Plus the leeway to have the implicit understanding of "No, fuck it. Look at my DRESS." for an afternoon.
The ensuing companionship and stuff does freak me out a bit.

There used to be this rhyme in a folklore book that was in my parents' house:
Married in yellow, ashamed of the fellow. Married in Blue, your lover is true. Married in Black, you'll ride in a hack.
I can't remember what green is.
ETA: Google to the rescue:
Married in white, you have chosen aright;
Married in red, you'd better be dead;
Married in yellow, ashamed of the fellow;
Married in blue, your lover is true;
Married in green, ashamed to be seen;
Married in black, you'll ride in a hack;
Married in pearl, you'll live in a whirl;
Married in pink, your spirits will sink;
Married in brown, you'll live out of town.

I don't really want to get married. But I would like the dress.
So go out a buy a dress. It's a lot easier than being married, I can tell you that much, Erin.
I was talking to DH today and I realized we've only been married 4 years. Waaay too much has happened in those 4 years. And hey, thank goodness he's been with me during all of it, but still.... I think I've really pushed my luck with the whole "in sickness and in health" clause.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Married in Blue, your lover is true.
Aww, my mom was married in blue! Yay.
