I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

My coworkers got into an extended discussion of root beer vs. sasparilla vs. sassafrass, and as a result, I am earwormed with "Love in an Elevator."

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

Sorry for the delay, someone came in my office while I was looking at the American Gladiators' website.

Ten years ago, my future brother-in-law, who we'll call Broseph, was dating a girl who cheated on him with Bob Bob's best friend, who we'll call PP. Broseph had an acrimonious falling-out with PP, naturally. Cut to five years later. Bob Bob and I move to NYC, where PP lives. They reconnect and start hanging out, as do I. So now Bob Bob and PP and I are friends. Broseph grumbles that Bob Bob is betraying him by being friends with PP. When we get engaged, Broseph insists that we cannot invite our friend PP to the wedding, or else he (who is Bob Bob's best man) will not attend. Future MiL says she won't either. This was over a year ago. We have agonized over what to tell PP, who is planning on attending the wedding, while hoping that Broseph will change his mind. But I think we're going to have to disinvite PP, because Broseph is the kind of guy to start a fight at his brother's wedding. So we'll have to tell him soon, when the invites go out.

Bob Bob just informed me that the woman who slept with Broseph and PP was a contestant in the last episode of AG.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Maybe you could have Steven Tyler on your salad instead of the oil? (I too am a fan...)

Bon, as much as we would hope that Broseph would grow the fuck up and not give you crap about inviting your friend to the wedding, I think that we all know what's going to happen here. Especially if Broseph would be so classless as to start a fight at his brother's wedding.

Yeah, it's a delicate situation where I don't want to give in to a completely unacceptable request, but in the context of family dynamics, I don't have a choice. Bob and his brother are very close, his brother just happens to be kind of a selfish asshole.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

If you could invite the gladiatrix, that might make the inevitable wedding fight EVEN BETTER!

I like Teppy's solution.

Embrace the weirdness. Wear leather gauntlets to your wedding.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

She could burst out of the wedding cake....
