The groom and his attendants will wear khaki trousers and blue blazers. The invitation is silent as to attire.

Should I wear a suit or a blazer like the groom/attendants? If a suit, dark wool, tan cotton, etc? My fiancee asked the bride and she said, "Think summer on the Cape."

Please help!

Will there be cake?

Don't wear a suit. You shouldn't be more dressed up than the groom/attendants.

Khakis are appropriate, though find out what color the guys' are (more tan? more stone? more green?) and choose something different. Linen would work but be careful as to style as you don't want to look too Hamptons--this is Massachusetts after all. For shirt--a summery, pale sorbet color like peach or pale yellow. Otherwise you will look too business casual, not festive. You can do a summery tie instead if you are really too uncomfortable wearing color for your shirt.

I also love seersucker though it may be seen as a bit old-fashioned by some--not a problem on the Cape generally.

I have new england cred so go with what I am saying and lets not get into a daylong wedding thread.

Oh crap, can we please ban golfwear anywhere off the course?

Far more restrained than it was, but just tiresome--it's all any guy feels safely manly wearing up here besides a suit.

I love Seersucker but dont wear it as things are indoors. as for the color of the khakis, they are khaki. PJ is being rediculously anal here. ditto the linen. if you want to go festive, wear a Hawaiian shirt. Otherwise, it is golf clothes.

Caught part of it between SATC and the Denis Leary roast. I though she looked kind of scary. The basis of her appeal in the past is that she used to be so damned cute. And her little yelpy sound. In my opinion, she's been phoning it in for some time, to the extent that is possible in porn. I think her talk about bisexuality was in reference to her former relationship with Nikki Tyler, another "superstar." They toured together a couple of years ago, and when they appeared on Howard Stern they announced that they were living together as a couple. Having seen them perform together (on dvd, not live), the only chemistry I noticed between them was the lube, so their relationship may have been a publicity stunt (unlike Ben & JLo, which is the real thing and will last forever). Anyway, I'm sure she still does girl-on-girl, but only if its plot-driven.

The Leary roast, while funny in spots (special props to Nick DePaulo), was lacking. It felt anticlimactic. Why was this not a Friar's Club roast? It needed some Friars.

a) an old friend JSHUN.

b) because your status as a friendlessly pathetic loser ensures that you are still obsessed with things you cant have and my brazillian remains one of those things.

Agreed. I don't need to hear another "What a sell-out for doing that Quaker State ad" joke in this lifetime. I've had my fill.

The funniest thing on TV last night was the Sealab 2021 episode "I, Robot." Thank god somebody transcribed the episode and put it on the web. (Whatever did we do before 1994)?

ACtually the funniest ting I saw on tv was Reno 911. Anyone else see this? Sort of the Office meets Cops (though I have never seen cops). Leary roast was a huge disappointment. I had no idea that the gay wedding planner from SATC had a career outside of that show. And speaking of SATC , it was LOL funny last night.

In other news, since I need to keep my posts tight so as not to be tghe third lamest poster (anyone else in my ballpark?), I saw this piece which I think directly corellates to why Running Is Bad For You and Your Joints and Muscles.

From Jon WErthiem of SI.com

"Navratilova added: "The kids play too much on hard courts at an early age and their joints suffer.

"When the joints get messed up, the muscles follow. Most tennis injuries are related to joints because of the hard pounding. Tennis is a very hard sport on your body."

Pounding on hardness (here is the softball- no pun). Much like running on anything but softness.

"Here I can read. I can talk. I can sleep or just sit in the sun," all without clothes, she said. "And no one ever says, 'Boy, you are really fat!'"

That is reason why I would be kicked out, fatty.
