Removing the feeding tube from our aging hipster plaid pants

Ya know, I was generally in the not entirely anti-NFH crowd prior to this insult. May you rot in the suburban, SUV-driving, label-checking, cookie-cutter house owning, keeping up with the Joneses hell that you have created for yourself.

We used to throw, "my divorce is finally final" parties, and considering the losers I worked with at the time, this was every couple of months.

Look, you've already pissed off in one capacity or another the goodly number of people on this board who have already been divorced. Save your ammo, and insult people like ironweed instead.





Whoops! Already did, I see.

Along similar lines, a friend of mine has a party every year on the anniversary of his ex-communication from the Mormon church. The party is Utah themed - people are encouraged to bring gifts, food, and items such as crab molds, Barbie dolls, and multiple spouses.

Ahh the mormons:

Positives: fuck multiple wives, even if only missionary;
Negatives: no coffee, tea, booze,

If half the people in America jumped off a bridge would you do it? What if flinty threw in an extra $10 to your estate?

I'm not really convinced on this "we had to do it" thing. If a bunch of ethnicities have a really tacky low rent tradition, what is to stop a bunch of brides from saying no to that particular element? Will the entire traditional wedding be ruined if there is no money dance? Will it, bilmore?

I had a girlfriend who was really offended by the concept of people getting drunk, laughing, and singing songs when someone died. She was incredulous when she went to her first (and probably last) Irish wake, and sputtered that it was so disrespectful of the dead.

In short, she probably thought it was a tacky, low-rent, ethnic tradition that my aunt should have said no to. If she had said such a thing to me, I would have told her that she doesn't have to have one.

The difference being that the Irish wake is objectively a charming and almost romantic commemoration of the deceased, whereas the dollar dance, or whatever the fuck it is called, is objectively a trashy, low class, distastefully ethnicky spectacle that whores out the bridegroom and scrapes any last remnants of dignity from the celebration of the marriage. Rest assured that where there is a dollar dance, there is a drunk creepy uncle with a thick accent fucking the fat bridesmaid in the VFW bathroom and a slide show of the happy couple that ends up featuring slides of the husband standing next to his Trans Am.

Why should I feel obligated to buy a $75 gravy boat they'll never use just because they want to get married?

If wifey gets a $75 gravy boat, hubby gets great sex for at least four months.

How good of a friend is he?

God I hate cash bars. No one brings cash to a wedding.

God, you are such a child. You load your trunk up with drinks. Geez.

Winner for tackiest wedding ritual to date. (The dollar dance.)

I'm guessing that, at the end, you won't have enjoyed life much. But, you will have felt fashionable. Hang on to that.

If you are of the nationality that has the money dance and you marry a man who is of a nationality that doesn't, doesn't that mean you have self-hate for your nationality that has the money dance?

Knowing your idea of fun matches mine gives me a warm fuzzy feeling.
