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

I just went to the NYTimes website and there's a banner ad across the middle in a type font which is totally inappropriate for the New York Times. Gawd, it's a design disaster. It looks crappy.

They need to better juggle their ad revenue needs and design elements.

I don't have this problem when I go to the Guardian UK website, dangit.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I have told this story here, but a friend's dad showed up drunk at her wedding with a woman he'd picked up the night before (who was also drunk) and whose name he didn't know.

When one of my college roommates got married, she invited a bunch of friends from law school. One of her law school buddies (who always fancied himself a big mack daddy) brought a hooker to the wedding. True story.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I invited myself to a wedding, made eyes at a guy who turned out to be my cousin, and he later caught the garter when I caught the bouquet and gamely tried to slide it way past my knee to his sister, the bride's ultimate dismay.

Every now and again I wonder if I was "that chick" at that wedding.

I need to find a way past this exhaustion, and I just can't work out what it is. I have to be back on for a 2pm meeting--I have to be prepped for it, so ideally "on" by 1. The concept is beyond me right now.

One of her law school buddies (who always fancied himself a big mack daddy) brought a hooker to the wedding. True story.

But, the question is - was he enough of a mack daddy that he didn't have to pay?

Punishingly Intricate

One of her law school buddies (who always fancied himself a big mack daddy) brought a hooker to the wedding.

Okay, my main question right now is: did his invitation specify "plus one?"

The most exciting thing that happened at my wedding was a 14 year old huffed all the helium out of a balloon and passed out in the muddy backyard.

Because books.

Our limo never showed up at the church, after, and my in-laws got lost on the way to the reception. But the reception rocked, and we paid the DJ to stay an extra hour.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

There is a house down the street from me that puts out 21+ pizza boxes on recycling day. Recycling is once a week and as far as I can tell 2 adults live in that housem only 2 adults. Are they seriously eating 3 pizzas/day? It is so disturbing to me.

Heh. He only *fancied* himself a mack daddy, which is exactly why he had to pay someone to go with him.

Okay, my main question right now is: did his invitation specify "plus one?"

I assume.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Odd headline o' the day:

Yoko Ono doesn't rule out John Lennon's return

When asked what she'd like people to know about Lennon, 100 years from now, Ono said, "First of all, I'm not sure if I'm not going to be there. Things are changing in this world so much and it might be like we're all going to live as long as we want to," Ono told The Associated Press. "And also, John might come back. We don't know anything. So I'm not going to answer that question."

Well OK then.
