Frankenbuddha: how unusual is to be at both the bride's and the groom's bacehlor proceedings?
Wolfram: If you're friends with both sides it's not that unusual.
If you're a stripper, I'd be concerned.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

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

Hec: Tomorrw, I need to...pick up tux, go to ball game, oops don't forget the rings, Emmett's baseball game, get married, have fun, go to New Orleans. Seems simple enough.
DX: You also have to blame Guilder for the whole thing, but I can see you're swamped...

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
From a Movies discussion about the special effects being worked on for Part III of Star Wars and the fact that it will still be years away from premiering:
Sean K:
Also, Lucas has made it clear that he's more than happy to take his time on things.
Frankenbuddha:
It takes a long time to pull that much out of your ass.

In movies, regarding the lack of a truly "special edition" of Heavenly Creatures:
Jessica:
It's possible there's a fancier edition that I don't know about. Mine only has the trailer. Well, and the movie.
Frankenbuddha
Nope, I just checked on-line, and what they call the Special Edition just has the trailer (and is in wide-screen). I'd hate to know what the non-special edition would be like.
Lilty Cash:
Half the movie, with some Cheetos commercials as filler.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Hec states the obvious:
I'm off to baseball, and then I will marry the beautiful Jacqueline Zahas. I feel like I got lucky.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Because that was the point I couldn't stop my tears anymore, despite the room being full of people to whom I'll need to explain how come my C++ simulation made me respond so strongly:
Fiona: In honour of all the newlyweds here, I just went and picked a bunch of flowers (a hyphen bouquet: lily-of-the-valley and forget-me-nots). Whenever I look at it over the next few days, I will think of you and wish you all the happiness in the world.
I think it was the so-very-Buffista combination of emotion (from the other side of the ocean, too!) and hyphens.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Lilty Cash: Dear Katerina Bee,
I am writing in response to your plan for World Domination, and am inquiring if there might be a position for me in your organization. I'm an organized self-starter with a proclivity for both baby ducks and cable networks.
I look forward to hearing from you regarding this exciting plan of leadership.
Sincerely, Lilty Cash
Wait...I don't need a cover letter for domination plans! How 'bout I just bring the minions and the jelly donuts?
