I'm kinda relieved to the see the CDC thing for Hep C, my Dad (born in 1945) got tested a couple years ago after it turned out that all three of his younger brothers had it, and one had gotten really sick. He's since been treated and never had a single symptom but he had it. Scary. The brothers having Hep C no one raised an eyebrow at since they were all drug users in their wild and crazy youths, but my dad was totally drug free so him turning up positive freaked the heck out of me and my mom when I told her to get tested. I was having some unkind thoughts about my Grandfather (Navy and long dead) so it's a relief to think that it's something to do with the general practices of the era and not my progenitors misbehaving.
I got stupid. The money was too good.

Tim's would ideally involve explosions and some sort of death ray. Which could work nicely with my Batman theme and keeping people from hugging me.
Full themed wedding. Bride dressed as Poison Ivy with thorns on the dress solves the hugging problem.

Hey, NO FAIR, all you people horning in on my ceremony performing.
You and Clovis could co-minister!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I will also point out that I'm ordained and can perform marriage ceremonies. For that matter, so is Clovis, and he supports the idea of weddings that feature death rays.
What the hell, ordained Buffistas? (I know bonny is, too.) EVERYONE MARRY ME.
In whatever sense you want to take that.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
All ordained Buffistas should wear hero or villain costumes. Then they can fight to determine who gets to marry Teppy.

EVERYONE MARRY ME.
This is actually possible in Pennsylvania. If you get a Quaker marriage certificate, then you don't need an officiant -- it just requires the signatures of the people getting married, and two witnesses.

My boss left the following message for me: he needs an appoint at the embassy in Brussels when he is there 3/15. for serious?!?! I am assuming about Visa extension, but a case # might be helpful or maybe clarification on the type of visa, or maybre a contact name, or maybe ANYTHING. I am pretty sure I cannot just call up the US Embassy and make a generic "appointment" for someone. he boggles my mind sometimes.

Tep, I totally think you should be like Val and podcast a wedding! That way you could have as few guests as you want, but still people to celebrate with you.
I hit my head so hard at the gym I look vaguely like a stegosaurus. Not good.
