Mr Man's mom seems to like me. I haven't made my views on Hilary Clinton known to her yet though.
My mom hates Hillary, but when I quiz her about why, she just throws a pile of vitriol into the air. I don't get it. I don't care much about Hillary in either direction.

My in laws like me. My family likes my wife twice as much as they like me. They always get her drunk and ask her what the hell is the matter with me.

Well I wouldn't be what I am. I think.

Is "both" one of the choices?

In her defense: (1) it was the largest glass of bartender poured "pure" booze I have ever seen; and (2) she subsequently laid a whooping on NCS at darts. There may also have been a few cans of Pabst that were consumed previously on the party bus.

My mother-in-law and I get along like a house on fire. My mother and my wife not so much.

During the run-up to that little shindig I was ready to take contracts out on both of them. They don't know how lucky they are to be alive today.
Well, at least you didn't get some older relatives piping in about how you needed to have a full Catholic Mass. I think I cut of a whole wing of the older generation of my family by saying that such a lengthy production would be rude to the majority of non-Catholic guests.

Take a note - having a full [insert religion] ceremony with your marriage is fucking rude if you've a lot of non [insert religion] guests. The guests should be in and out in 25 minutes and drinking within 45 minutes of your and your old lady pressing your ugly mugs together. Anything less is exceedingly prole.

Do what my dad does. Skip the ceremony and head straight to the reception. Usually no one notices, especially if he sends a delegation to the service.

Even better if drinking starts pre-ceremony and continues during the ceremony. The couple of times I've experienced that, I appreciated it.

Nah, do what I do. Buy a sixteen ounce plastic bottle of odwalla. Dump out two thirds of it and pour in some RedBull and ketel ONe. People think you aer just having a nutritional breakfast.

My dad is allergic to church. He does the same thing.
