And, chewing up the rotting flesh only works as an analogy if it changes their behavior, or if they're spitting it out in your face, like a smoker.

Or farting profusely because all the animal products have clogged up their intestines. I mean, can you imagine what an Atkins wedding would smell like?

Although eating a shotgun was a bit extreme, you have to admit.

actually fwiw nttawwt (etc.) there is apparently much flatulence that accompanies the new raw foods lifestyle/diet. So much so that it is openly discussed in one of the main books on the subject. I guess they didn't want people to find out for themselves and quit the diet because of it.

also I'm sure TF's veggies and beer diet results in a toot or two from time to time. but since she's never written a diet book on the subject, I lack written evidence.

Combine hard-core Atkinsism with small, methane-powered cars, and we might well solve our oil dependency. (At the cost, of course, of smelly wedding receptions.)

What's surprising is that you're the 2nd person I've heard propose this. The first person went into MUCH greater detail regarding his fart-powered automobile...

The whole "classy" thing was not my issue.

But, hi anyway!

How ironic.

Between this and the hockey fetish, I would swear you are Canadian.

Sebby, are you really saying you can't have a good time at a party without drinking? Seems kind of pathetic. Isn't variety the spice of life? A non-drinking party every once in a while just makes life more interesting.

I didn't serve alcohol at my wedding, but, with upwards of 90% non-drinkers in attendance, I never really considered it. If anyone had wanted to smuggle in a flask or go somewhere else for a drink, I wouldn't have minded (I think my alky great-aunt did plenty of tippling before she came!).

Re: Bilmore's point about the effects of alcohol being more the problem than the drink itself, I totally agree. I have a pretty high tolerance for tipsiness and alcohol-induced bonhomie, medium tolerance for sloppiness and falling down, and zero tolerance for barfing. Most of my friends and family and neighbors who drink never reach the sloppy stage, so we all get along great and I have no problem inviting them to my home (though they'll have to bring their own booze--I would have no idea what to get).

Good schtupping music recommendations are never apropos of nothing. They are always apropos of good schtupping, which is always apropos per se.

Aside from the Amish (whom I don'tmind because they tend to be pretty damn friendly and generally of the "live and let live" mindset)

Yeah, they're friendly, except for the coke and meth dealing Amish: they can be a bit rough.

Why the death watch?
she's been doing the same basic act for awhile, what's changed lately? millionaires can maintain a beefy drug habit for decades.

see Hank, you have hit on the death pool picking conundrum. sure there will always be Keith Richards and Scott Wylands out there who prove their hardiness year in and year out. but there will also be some Elvis Presleys and Kurt Cobains. It is up to us, the death pool participants to try to discern who among the living falls into which category.

dear Courtney's behavior has been markedly more erratic in the last six months. will it result in her untimely demise? who knows. is it worth betting on? almost certainly. because at the end of the day, if she dies this year you don't want to be the only schlub who didn't see it coming.

"No adornment." Apparently, this doesn't apply to designer suits or dresses or fur coats, but I wear the only diamonds in the family.

Did the invitation actually say "no adornement"?!?
