not your mom's socks.

My sister wants her 40th b-day cake to be made by Duff.

Off the record? Does she turn 40 on or after mid-to-late '09? They're a little backed up....

and I think cakes are going for $$$.

You should see the cake they made for the Charm City Roller Girls though. It rocks.

Matt - didn't I see that groom's cake on Ace of Cakes?

They did make one inspired by the same source but wearing a paramedic uniform on a recent ep! It was adorable!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I think if I know someone well enough to invite them to my wedding, I'll know their SO's name and put it on the invitation so no "and guest" will be necessary. (Or they're an obligatory family invite, I'll be able to find that info out.)

OTOH, if you don't include "and guest" as an option for your single invitees, they're likely to RSVP for 2 anyway, so you may as well account for it when you're sending the cards out.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

another hivemind question:

"upskill" real word or really horrible business speak.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

incredibly horrible.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

horrible. Plus it sounds like a combo of "upscale" and "Catskills"

OED claims it, but it is ugly and stupid and smells funny.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I vote "ew".

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Horrible, although I kind of like its cousin "upsell," since it is such a pithy way to describe the whole "You want fries with that" thing.
