I'd ignore the "chic" entirely: to the extent it is not redundant with "formal" it is incompatible.

Clarification: the above comment is only relevant if it is evening formal.

Continue.

Just so everyone knows, I was being tongue in cheek. Joking. All that. Thurgreed would never do such a thing.

I will be a little concerned about you TF if the kitty numbers start to creep up--then it would seem like future "little old lady in a malodorous house with 67 cats" syndrome. But it is very cool that you have a dog.

I'm with Thurgreed on the number of cats. Three cats is on the brink. Once you get that 4th cat, you have crossed the line and are sliding down the slippery slope into the LOLIAMHW67C syndrome. I have resisted getting a third cat, in part because the Fugee Cats would revolt but also because I don't want to get too close to the line.

If I had enough cats to need 6 litter boxes, I would teach the cats to use the toilet. http://clhill.com/cats/toilet_training_cats.htm

People prettier than you, but no need for you to get all self-concious on us now, its not like they'd invite you anyway, so feel free to bask in the glow of your lesser prettiness sans capris and flip flops.

And for what's worth, for your information, just between you and moi, that was not one of your best posts, but then again the comeback has not commenced yet. Or has it?!?!? OH. MY. GAWD!!!

I just realized that I might die without ever finding out to whom each sock belongs, and now I really want to go home and numb myself with alcohol and reality TV.

Let's say one was holding a dinner party for say, 200 of one's friends and relatives. The question is, what soup, Tomato Basil or Mushroom Asparagus, would go better with the following menu:

Endive and frisee salad with a honey/red wine vinagrette and a goat cheese crostini

Surf n' turf deally: Filet mignon with roquefort and halibut filet with beure blanc

Red velvet cake.

FYI: The Mushroom Asparagus soup was subtle, the Tomato Basil was less so.

Help me out here gang, which one would you go with?

You are despoiling a filet with roquefort. With that sort of abomination, you may as well go with Campbell's Chicken n' Stars.

The last three came in a group. All kittens, two brothers and an unrelated boy who was feral -- I couldn't let them be killed, could I? I have a real big house and people are normally surprised to know that I have the kitties (they pretty much stay out of sight when people are around and I have a room in the basement for their boxes and food so the house doesn't stink - no lie, I have even had allergic people over and I keep the hair cleaned up so no reaction). Does having six kitties really make me borderline nuts? I mean, shit, I don't talk about them at work all day like the weird dog people in my office. And I don't keep pictures of them on my desk or in my wallet like my assistant does with her dogs. Now THAT is nutty.

Wonk honey, this is going to be a fun catsup.

You presume the filet will be of good enough quality to be despoilable. When was the last time you were at a wedding reception with more than 12 guests where this was true?

Given that I've read* that asparagus tends to make ejaculate rather funky and off-tasting, it might be better for the bride (and any of her bridesmaids who hook up with random dudes at weddings) if you go with the Tomato Basil. Just a thought.












*Will Wonk or Sidd be the first to post "Sure you "read" that"

You're just being a pissant because of that wierd green stain on your shirt, Bitch.

Its bad enough I have to put up with the YMMV from Gilbert Gottfried and his sidekick Mario CAntone, but Wonk, I implore you, if you are gonna catchup like a week later, please onl yreply to topics of interest. Wedding soup does not fall under the umbrella (if you will). You may of course PM the person

You're a freak.

That is a relief. But it still means that everyone else is being serious. Do people really send invites that tell the guests what to wear? What the fuck is up with that? I am a guest, right? I will wear whatever I want to wear. If you don't think that you can trust me to dress appropriately based on the type of event (like of course I would wear the more formal and sparkly flip flops and authentic team jersey to a wedding and keep the beer cooler under the pew during the ceremony -- sheesh) then why should I gift on you? And even if I didn't dress totally appropriately, who the hell cares? You should invite me because you like me not my fashion sense. Besides, everyone at the wedding needs someone to talk about until the next event and it might as well be me.

I agree that dress instructions on an invite are tacky - but has become the norm to avoid all those annoying inquiries to the bride/hosts as to the appropriate attire so that the guests don't feel goofy showing up under/overdressed. (Although IMOP nothing ever wrong with being over dressed). Its the same type of break from Emily Post-type wedding traditions that demands hosts of a wedding include pre-printed, prestamped reply cards b/c so many are so rude (or ignorant), they can't or won't reply in a timely manner on their own.

Death to Seersucker!!

It's a little borderline, sorry. But since you would wear sparkly flip-flops, a real team jersey, and bring beer to a wedding, that makes it all okay.

I was invited. They begged me to come. But I hightailed it out of there when I saw all the exposed ankle/calf flesh.

You know what this is? My. Worst. Post. Ever.
