two of our closest friends stopped speaking to us (forever, apparently) when they invited their child to our wedding and we told them sorry, we didn't invite any kids and none can come.

Did they actually show up with their children? Or was it more, "little tommy's looking foward to it. see you tomorrow." at which point you were forced to lay down the law.

Good lord either way.

Much more relaxing when it's all grownups. Be prepared though--two of our closest friends stopped speaking to us (forever, apparently) when they invited their child to our wedding and we told them sorry, we didn't invite any kids and none can come. Sad, but as the choice and fault was theirs, we got over it.

They couldn't have been that close if they ignored your wishes. You're probably better off anyway, those are the kind of people who will bring junior to a movie, and then back to your house to let him "play" with your crystal and spit on your silk pillows. Besides they probably called you a baby hating bitch behind your back.

Str8 - really, can't we come to the festivities?
And bag on the soup. You've already got too much food for most people to eat - people just want alcohol and wedding cake.

Like I said, YMMV.

But....

the obligatory women = evil, while men = not quite so evil

is an odd view. Ah, well -- Guess it's good that I got juiced up for the movie....

Second, how is this any grosser than reading about how you want to lure some random Texan into your office? Because it involves menstrual blood?

Well, yes.

Could this be the FB Flash Mob event?
Let's all show up and ask for soup.

Actually, I do hate babies, unless they belong to relatives or pals--then I'm just bored senseless by them. But this was an older kid we really liked and otherwise happily spent time with. The parents responded to our invite to "Jane and Bob Doe" with a "Jane, Bob and Junior will be attending" so we had to speak up.

And agree on the cake. Everyone likes that.

Aww. And I was just beginning to think nobody had read my post.

See you there. The passphrase is: "Soup, not Squick."

Speaking of, are there two cakes, a wedding cake and a "red velvet cake" (is that what it was?)?

Is there a need for two cakes at a wedding? Or, for that matter, dessert + wedding cake. I've never really understood why things come out that way so often at weddings. Or do caterers just want to ram the stuff down folks' throats?

I say, damn the cake and get the bar opened back up sooner.

Bush-bashing playing cards have been removed from eBay, but an exec there says it’s nothing political. “Axis of Weasel” playing cards featuring George Bush and various members of his team who supported the war in Iraq were removed from the popular on-line auction site, and the artist says it happened after conservatives complained.

By its very definition, art cannot be purchased on eBay.

Anyway, a California high school teacher already beat this Canadian guy to the punch with "Operation: Hidden Agenda" playing cards. Only $9.95 a pack, and the design is much better.

You know Sidd, when I read you adding this pointless cliche to a post, I picture a nerdy, unsocialized man talking in a nasal pitch not unlike that of Gilber Gottfried.

From Good Fuck to Gottfried. Nice going.

Some cakes are primarily decorative, and to hold up the weight of all the sugar flowers, etc., the actual cake is the consistency of wood and tastes like crap. And because it's expensive, then they have a cheap sheet cake to serve the guests.

This is shocking and horrible. I demand both art and flavor from my desserts dammit!

WTF is a 'red velvet' cake anyway? It sounds squickily bloodlike.

For the record, that's not the reason that we aren't speaking to you. It's because you can't get along with Thurgreed -- Jane's still pissed about that.

Yes, lets pick this apart shall we.

One, she is bleeding and getting fingered so , no tampon. So either she has a pad on or nothing (which is unlikely in both instances). If I am wearing a diaper no way am I pulling my pants down or hiking my skirt up, for a stragner, on a beach. And if I have nothing on, no way am I just walking around with nothing, just leaking.

Second, blood feels different than juice- its stickier.

Third, I am all about sex on the rag- great for cramps- but I wouldnt except a guy to be fingering me for awhile when I am bleeding. And no way is he "almost" gonna go down on me.

FOurth, I dont go to third base with strangers while bleeding (or didnt back when I called it third base and these folks sound like kiddies)

Five, if he is smelling his fingers, blood and juice smell different. Just ask Debtslave.

Six, if blood is on his face, he feels it. Period. No pun.

And lastly, Sparklehrse, you thought this sotry was laugh out loud funny? I was squicked. What kind of perv are you?

Paigs,

I disagree.

A friend of mine got fingered by a dude a few years back in a very drunken state and forgot she had a tampon in at the time. I guess the guy was an idiot, because somehow he managed to push the tampon way up inside her. A few days later she noticed a rather unpleasant smell. She went to her gynecologist, who promptly removed the tampon which was wedged up there somewhere.

I threw a party one year when my folks were away. Some random chick shows up and hooks up in the sun room with a friend of mine on a white sofa. Next morning I get up and go down to the sun room to find a white sofa with blood stains that looked like someone had sacrificed a chicken in the sun room. You'd be amazed at how much a professional cleaner charges to clean furniture upholstery. I nearly killed my friend and the chick.

S(so although I doubt Sparkle's story's truth, it could happen)D

A cake served with Tomato Basil soup on a beach in Florida. It's fingerfood.

Oh well. Perhaps things will go better on another day, with another of your personalities.

btw, for the record, it was "Great Fuck", not merely Good.
