But I tell you what, his eyes were glued to their enormous televisions.
I swear to you, I thought this was a euphemism. Her enormous... televisions.
I'm glad he had a good time!
Lorne: Take care of yourself and ah, make sure fluffy is getting enough love. Gunn: Did he have anything? Fred: No. And who's fluffy? Are you fluffy? Gunn: He called me fluffy? Fred: He said make sure…wait. You don't think he was referring to anything of mine that's fluffy, do you? Because that would just be inappropriate.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I read it as a euphemism mistakenly too.
Maybe he'd have fun at a general sports bar. Some weekend when ten different games are on.

I also thought that was going to be a euphemism. And second the take him to a sports bar idea. Do they have ESPN Zone where you are?
I need to pack, but I don't wanna. Too many decisions to make.

How are they... but.. In And Out Burger? I take it they're more than just burger flippers.
He's a manager type (co-worker thinks he makes in the $18/hr range), she's a line worker (we guess around $10ish/hr range). Yeah. That's kinda what my reaction was (hence the learning pay ranges).
It's a resort location up in Arrowhead Mountain, outside of LA. Her family is from Vegas, his from Orange County. So Arrowhead was the "half way between" location... sort of. Yeah. A bit absurd.

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.

It was fun to type. There is an Applebees nearby that has not quite as many, not quite as big televisions, which has proved itself highly amenable to changing the station on the tv most convenient to his view to whatever game is on that he wants to see. I'll have to look around to see if there are any other more sport-y sports bars in the area. (The great thing about bars is that you can go and hang out and drink things other than alcohol, so yes it is very much an option even without spending much money on potentially overpriced food.)

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Nabisco could make a shit-ton off of vegetarian Mallomars.

My sinuses and ear are hurting like hell. And I've got to drive to campus to pick up my students' exam scores. Because the scores get read off of the scantrons, put into a computer, then the computer generates a report and prints it out, and then I have to pick up a paper copy of the report and type the scores into a different computer system. Two different systems, actually. Because that totally makes sense.

Seriously, you are (everyone is) entitled to have whatever opinion you want about someone else's wedding. But since I just went through planning a wedding, I have to say -- you don't know all their reasons for choosing what they're choosing, and there are probably a lot more factors involved than you can know, no matter what info you gleaned from one conversation.
We got shit for a lot of our choices, and it fucking hurt. It's not possible to make all your guests happy -- let alone every other non-guest who still has an opinion anyway -- so you end up getting shit about the choices you made for your own damn wedding. And that? Not awesome.
Would I spend $14,000 on a venue? Nope. But it's not my wedding; it's theirs.

I figure anyone's choices about their wedding are their business ... as long as it doesn't involve animal sacrifices or anything like that.
I remember years ago there was this huge debate running in one of the advice columns - a couple who were vegetarian announced that they wouldn't be serving meat at the wedding dinner. A number of their invited guests announced that if there wasn't any meat - how COULD THEY?!?!?! - they wouldn't be attending. My reaction was "huh?"
