Worst wedding story--I have told it here before, but will repeat it because it just BOGGLES me. A friend's dad showed up drunk to her wedding with a woman (also drunk) he had picked up at a bar the night before. Which we all knew, because he made sure to tell us all that fact. WTF?
Shh! I kinda wanna hear me talking right now!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
2) The dress, in fact, decidedly did NOT look good on her.
HAR.
My proposal consisted of climbing into bed post-Christmas Eve prezzies at this mom's house, him grabbing a box, and asking if I liked our rings. Which, to be fair, if he hadn't then, I would have on NYE. Knowing the current one, I expect any proposal will involve beer and/or football. I tend to go for the low-impact gesture types.
It's funny - I spent a lot of the weekend feeling depressed for no good reason until I realized that last time I saw the men's Olympic marathon, we were opening wedding gifts. And then I was pissed that I was depressed, kissed M, had a beer, and it was all good.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
The DH proposed by apologizing. He said "I have something to say to you which is really not romantic. I have been thinking and I realized I want to be married to you, but I just don't want a wedding. I'm sorry." THIS from a guy who writes for a living.
Bwahaha! Okay, mine wasn't exactly like that, but it was pretty close (minus the not wanting a wedding). Must be something about the profession.

"Only reason you keep asking is because you know it's not okay—now that we're all painfully aware of it, do us all a favor and shut the fuck up about it."
...isn't this where the face-punching comes in?? I mean, *seriously*, people....

Any shooting or track & field events that involve judges?

Well, some of the track and field events involve subjective scoring? Like, the pentathlon (women's) involves dressage?
There are all kinds of events that I had no idea were events, so...lord knows.
(The pentathlon is one that I didn't know was an event but I think is SUPER AWESOME: you run, swim, ride a horse (I think it's dressage? But maybe it's jumping???), do sword fighting and shoot, I think?!?! How freaking cool is that!?!?!)
