why's it up to you to make sure they get their clothes?

Because neither one will do it unless acted upon by an outside influence. His mother won't pick hers until my mother chooses her dress, for not!clashing purposes. I don't care what they wear, but someone had to attempt to stop the vicious cycle of indecision.

Someone who isn't you. Pass it off to your DF or your MOH if you really must have someone prodding them, or just go all HHGTTG and officially designate it Somebody Else's Problem and thus completely invisible to you.

Whatever they wear or don't, nobody will think a bit less of you for their choices or lack of same; and whatever they wear or don't will have absolutely ZERO effect on the validity of either the wedding or the marriage. If at the end of that day you and DF are legally and sacramentally united and you get to run off and spend the rest of your lives together, the rest is gravy. Doesn't matter if your mom and MIL wear identical puce dresses, or lavender pantsuits with giant hats, or nothing but their birthday suits and matching ostrich-feather cootch curtains. Their indecisiveness is not your problem.

Seriously. It's an SEP. Block it out or delegate it or I'm'a kick your ass.

msbelle, The Wing was really good this season.

My top and bottom lip are stuck together, and I'm trying to work out how to gently get them apart without opening the wound again.

Aren't you glad I shared?

From watching WaT, I have two questions: Do we ever get to see Gypsies who aren't criminals (or likely to throw revenge curses)? And what was up with "Hot" Danny Taylor's outfit in his last scene?

This, totally.

BWAH! I love it when you become indignant; it leads to an unmatched eloquence.

Block it out or delegate it or I'm'a kick your ass.

Really, I'm through with it. It's not just SEP, it is THEIR problem. Not mine. Theirs. But you can still kick my ass if you wanna. You're in a mood; I can tell.

I can't remember HDT's outfit. And no, I don't think we ever do. Somebody should be getting very angry about that.

BTW, I liked the missing person's Tarot Deck. Did anyone recognize what sort it was?

My top and bottom lip are stuck together,

The Matrix has you. Or else maybe the Twilight Zone.

ION, from Wired:

Monkey See, Monkey Do
A South African zoo is trying to persuade its star chimpanzee to kick a bad smoking habit. Charlie, a grown male chimp and the Bloemfontein Zoo, has been picking up cigarettes thrown to him by visitors and smoking them -- a habit he probably picked up by observing humans, zoo officials told the SAPA news agency on Thursday. "Baby chimps pick up habits by mimicking adults and we think he started mimicking smokers at his enclosure which probably led to smokers throwing him cigarettes," spokesman Daryl Barnes said. Barnes said Charlie was already showing the signs of a true nicotine addict. "He even acts like a naughty schoolboy by hiding the cigarette when staff approach the area."

I can't remember HDT's outfit. And no, I don't think we ever do. Somebody should be getting very angry about that.

No, you're lucky. Because he was wearing a blue track suit with white stripes, and a light blue old man's cap. Hideous.

Sumi, wasn't it the Rider deck?

No, I don't think so -- the images were a little different. Although I am sure that it was a RW-based deck.
