OK, because I can't do anything without consulting you people: I just found out my friend is registered at Williams-Sonoma, and only there. Not knowing she was registered, I was thinking about getting them some nice bath towels. That's still OK, right? (Possibly I should just get myself some expensive towels, since I seem to be obsessed with them.)
That's one spunky little girl you've raised. I'm gonna eat her.

If Masaryk had been shot you wouldn't have mentioned it.
That's why it's so great!
Also, there's a famous art project in San Francisco called "Defenestration."

I know which lunch sounds more dignified to me.

Maybe she already has towels and hence bypassed any registries with towel vendors.
Why don't you just get her the damned hand blender?

I think it's okay. I mean, who doesn't love nice bath towels?! And it's not like they last forever so even if they have ones now they'll eventually need new ones.
But, I've never been married.

I believe she was resistant to registering in general, and finally gave in, so only went to the one place. It's not a long list.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Go towels, choose towels. People always need them and they are soft and yummy.
I am a fan of getting gorgeous picture frames as wedding gifts. You KNOW they'll have pictures from the Event or the Honeymoon they'll want to put around, and having a frame that's too pricey to buy for one's self is a lovely thing.

Oh, that's a great idea, and also something that will be available at Lord & Taylor, where I was planning on shopping.
OK, eff Williams-Sonoma. I got her stuff from there for her shower already, all on my own!

A (single male) friend of my husband's got us towels and knives off our registry. They came in a box together. I was laughing and laughing.

bon, I've always meant to ask, but when you were there, did you have the really old czech history professor who taught in his office off old town square?
I loved hearing him say defenestration. He was so very serious, but he liked saying it.
I also remember that when we covering WW2, in the middle of some dry facts he was all "and on that night, we fled with only the family violin and I never saw my grandfather again." Ooof.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

You are weird. Personally I think Poland is much more dignified. In fact, the Czechs agree-- that's why they named their new dance craze the Polka.
