I can only sidestep into my best Christine Lavin voice and say, "What was he thinking?"FredPete, I'm so happy someone else knows this reference.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The Edward Gorey picture made me wonder - is there any pet that's more goth than a cat? Besides, I guess, a bat....

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
any pet that's more goth than a cat?
An arachnid (just not for some). Or a raven.

Boo on Broseph--grow the fuck up, dude.
I hate it also when people break up and are all "you can't invite her to your party!!" Like, sure, when you first break up, maybe you want to know if she's coming so you can decide if that's too painful. But...eventually, if you shared friends, ya gotta get to a point where you can hang out at least in LARGE groups, even if not at a small dinner party or something. [edit: I got a call from one of my seattle friends here, who got dumped FIVE MONTHS AGO, and is like "Id rather when we hang out, you not talk about the group of people you go dancing with, because SHE hangs out with them, adn that makes me think of her..." OY]

A fanged stuffed bunny, obviously.

No arachnids, please. Ravens or crows would be good.

Between all this talk of ravens and my current earworm of "Don't Fear the Reaper" (thank you, WorldCrossing's TV forum!), all I can think of is the opening credits for the miniseries of The Stand.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Ooh. I'm intrigued...do tell.
I'm not sure we actually resolved anything, but there was a funny extended riff on bar scenes in Western movies.
I like my coworkers.

But I don't want to start out on that foot with Broseph and F-MiL.
OTOH, you may want to establish that you won't be manipulated by their petty squabbles. If you put your foot down now, it will quash that kind of crap, like "oh, you can't bring your famous apple pie to Thanksgiving because Broseph doesn't like apples. We have three other desserts, but why don't you make something else"
I also find it ironic that he's forgiven the woman who cheated on him, but not the random dude that it happened with (unless Broseph and PP were tight)

he forgave the Gladiatrix
See, that's ridiculous. I hold grudges, but they're MY grudges, not grudges I expect the entire world to support me in.
I think my response would be, "Okay, since you can't suck it up for a few hours, I'm not inviting PP. I hope you understand that I will be using you as a role model, and holding a massive grudge against you for the next decade. Also, don't get us a wedding gift -- spend it on therapy."
