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!
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

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.

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

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?

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Mmm, thanks, Barb.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Definitely not rude. The worst reaction you'd get might be a slight eyeroll, depending on context.
When one of my friends got married last year, I overheard my father say "Good luck" to the groom, and I thought it was kind of insulting to the bride, but my mom told me that it's considered appropriate to say "congratulations" to the bride and "good luck" to the groom.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I can't say better than Scrappy,
Hooray for Glambride and her Girlfriendwife!
But I'll add my Mazel tov! and Felicitations.
I use Mazel tov, the same way I use mahalo, yatahey, machs nichts, didi mao, or namaste. I suppose a case could be easily made that I'm an unscrupulous indiscriminate irreverent appropriator and probably a bad person besides. I do apologize if I offend.
