Did anyone watch last night's Daily Show who can explain to me the position of the guest? She irritated me, but I couldn't parse her arguments into a cohesive whole.

I'd have to buy a whole new wardrobe if I worked anywhere with a dress code. Our office's dress code is that you have to be wearing clothes.

Best. Dinosaur. Name. Ever!

MOJOCERATOPS

They aren't as well done as I'd like them to be, but it was my first pass at it. I may get a different pink for the meat part, thinner on the pearly white layer that gets closer to the rind, then when all of that is completely dry a wet layer of light green and then a thin wet layer of dark green so that they blend better. I also need a black art pen for the seeds.

I would also like to try large, randomly spaced dots like the ones on my dress today.

That may or may not be our dress code here. I've yet to test that.

Although if I went to work naked I'd probably need to ride my bike, as they might not let me on a bus or train.

That's pretty much ours as well, with a side of, "and please don't fall out of them." One coworker wears those 5 toed shoes. No one says boo.

But I don't know the rules at American weddings. Are black and white off limits? What sort of gift is appropriate? Argh! I don't want to ruin someone's wedding with a hideous cultural faux pas.

I would not wear black to a New England wedding. (Well, I would not wear black to any wedding, but that's because I'm from New England). If you don't have any sort of registry to work from, you can never go wrong with something from Tiffany--they have stuff at many price points, from monogrammed playing cards or two champagne flutes (both $30) on up and then you can easily send it instead of bringing it. Everything is packaged in their fancy robin's egg blue boxes and looks really nice.

Tiffany is surprisingly affordable. For my 30th, my bestie got me a silver necklace. Then when she moved to L.A. we got her one with a horseshoe for good luck. I think it was about $125, which isn't bad when split between a couple of people.

Good lord, Jars. That sounds like a hell of a lot of activity for a wedding. Bleargh.

When I was younger, I got all my wedding presents there, but that's primarily because they had a crystal salad bowl called a Georgetown bowl that I gave to all my college friends with a Shakespeare quote about our salad days. The monogrammed playing cards are also fun because its two decks and you can do one for each half of the couple. They used to have a fabulous set of 4 crystal beer steins that were relatively cheap, but I'm not seeing those on their website.
