Poor bon bon, I'm guessing you weren't actually trying to solicit advice on the matter.

No, I mean, I do know Broseph and PP and have given it a lot of thought already, I wasn't soliciting advice. But I don't mind people discussing it; it's just the kind of thing buffistas would discuss. And maybe I do need someone else's POV. So go forth and speculate.

The thing is, I can understand how Broseph feels. If the woman that cheated with my boyfriend was going to be at my sister's wedding, I wouldn't be pleased. I'd probably still be a little pissed at my sister for being her friend. BUT, I would say "I really would rather not see that bitch, but I want you guys to be happy on your wedding day. Just don't sit her at my table and tell her not to talk to me"

Yeah, I completely understand Broseph not wanting to talk to PP, though a lot of time has passed (and he forgave the Gladiatrix; but that's probably because he's a bit misogynist). It's inappropriate to make demands on *us*. We shouldn't have any problems inviting whomever we want to OUR g-d wedding. But I don't want to start out on that foot with Broseph and F-MiL.

Why can't these sailors develop a perfectly good toy boat fetish?!

I think I might have an obsession with the fetish. Because I am trying to investigate it again!

TOTally, but that's family for you.

Has anyone ever come up with... additional documentation?

Wow, I really would have expected Edward Gorey to look a lot more like something out of Edward Gorey. Fun!

He did kind of. He wore sneakers and a full length fur coat to the ballet, and had earrings and big rings even as far back as the early sixties.

I can only sidestep into my best Christine Lavin voice and say, "What was he thinking?"

The Edward Gorey picture made me wonder - is there any pet that's more goth than a cat? Besides, I guess, a bat....

A rat?
