Best wishes to Glamcookie and her Dear Wife! (I just read that one is not supposed to say Congrats to a bride but is supposed to say Best Wishes. Can anyone Emily Post the reason why for me?)
Dawn: I thought you were adequate. Giles: And the accolades keep pouring in. I'd best take my leave before my head swells any larger. Good night.

Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Because books.
I always heard you were supposed to wish the bride "felicitations," which means ... best wishes, I guess? Someone told me once, but I can't remember the Emily Post reasoning.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Congrats, GC and DW.
It warms my heart. No, really, I'm a bit choked up.
No, seriously. Stop looking at me like that.
Fine. It's allergies. I have something in my eye.
Best of wishes, GC and DW.
And may Jack "King" Kirby bless you.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Aw, you guys are the best. There were photos (and video [!!!]) so I'll share soon. Our judge was cool. We took a pic with her, too. Also they had a fake wedding cake. Hahahahaha!

Art Crawl!!!
Congratulations Glam & DW.
Fake?
But you got a real one too, right?
(Or are you anti-cake? If so, I will try very hard to understand.)

All is well that ends in pizza.
I am weirdly obsessed with Michael Phelps' body. I don't exactly think he's HAWT but he's almost perfect.
One newspaper called him "The Baltimore manfish". I about died laughing.
I heard some commentary on ESPN how Phelp's wing span at his height should be 77 inches but that it's actually 82. And they pointed out his flipper like feet and long torso.
If they did DNA testing they will find dolphin DNA, I'm sure.
It's Buffyverse quotin' time!
"After the fall of the Soviet Union, documents came into light detailing experiments with fish DNA on their Olympic swimmers. Tarpon... mako, shark..."

Email of the day from my friend Kevin H:
I just bought a new storage shed for the backyard. I'm looking over the instructions. It says: "In the event of severe weather, please disassemble and store in a secure location."

Mostly lurking...
YAY! Congratulations and best wishes to GC and DW!
Hey vw, any chance you have a long lost twin living in the Denver area? I met a gal at Back to School Night who looks just like you, dresses like you, talks like you, and we hit it off great. Though now I realize I never got her name. Drat.
I'm still boggling at the likeness. Freaky. Cool, but freaky.
Ah, not that I know of. Freaky is right.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I think saying "congratulations" to a woman implies that she was lucky to find someone to marry her. Possibly Victorian in origin--congratulating the man but best wishes to the woman sounds Guilded Agish to me.
Is it considered rude for someone non-Jewish to say "Mazel Tov?"

Wooo! GC+DW! Live Long ad prosper together.

"Huzzah! They is hitched!" maybe?
