You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I used to have nutria tooth earrings.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Oooh, billytea, the random rodents that I see around here are nutrias. According to wiki, they were first described by Juan Ignacio Molina. Now when I see one? I can only think that they are actually the minions of Juan Pablo Montoya (prepare to race).

Whereas tha capybaras are the ninja warriors of Helio! Castr-r-r-roneves. Have you ever seen a capybara twirl its moustache before? By the time you do, it's too late.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

As much as I dig the capybara? I am Montoya's nutriagirl.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Dude! Do not tell his wife. I only nutria in the platonic variation.

...And so sleepy now...

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Hey Tep, looks like the Reds just dropped $30mil on a lefty pitcher, the Cuban defector Aroldis Chapman. He throws about 97mph.

Hmmm. Sounds promising.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Hmmm. Sounds promising.

He was a stud in the World Baseball Classic last spring, so he should be able to handle the majors.

Also, it's a five year deal so it's not even that expensive. Could be a good pickup.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Hello Bitches! I now have a job that makes it much easier to read b.org during the day, so I finally have time to read (and perhaps even participate in) this thread again. Woo!

Actually, I've been lurking here for a little while, but I have to admit it's Erin's wedding planning that has brought me out of the woodwork. I've just started planning my wedding (we're also getting married in September), and good lord, there's a lot to think about! All I really know right now is that we want to get married on our friends' farm, and I want to wear a red-and-gold dress.

Anyway: hi everyone!

Punishingly Intricate

Kate P., do you know about offbeat bride? [link]

They have loads of great ideas for other than traditional (whatever that means) weddings.

Erin, did you see their post about having your gown custom made? [link]

My dress lady is a costume designer and she and her partner worked at one of the big theaters here for years. Contacting the costume departments at local theaters and colleges might be a way to find someone who could make your (awesome sounding) dress. Heck, if you could come to b'more a couple of times for fittings my ladies would be perfect for making your dress! They do custom corsetry!
