Removing the feeding tube from our aging hipster plaid pants

[Mmmm, Burger (C.J.)]

[spoiler] Having seen that you lose all your clothes in a non-elimination round, and knowing that you're last because you can see the pitstop from the tower you're still stuck on, why would you not put everything in your bags on your back before getting to the check-in point, just in case? Is Ron actually as stupid as he sounds?

Although BRC doesn't have you covered, Miss Manners does.

excerpt: "How do we put on the invitation that there will be Dollar Dances with the bride? I've been at weddings where guests were caught without the cash to participate." . . . .

. . . .Miss Manners is sorry to have to tell them all that she does not have a gracious and tactful extortion plea in her files, and that their qualms about sounding tacky, greedy and crude are fully justified. Only gimme-pigs regard their wedding guests as cash cows."

I bet they put a note about where they're registered in the invitation.

Uchenna is the coolest person in America. Anybody who belittles Meredith and Gretchen is apparently cursed. The first 20 minutes last night (relating to Rob's antics) was the best 20 minutes of television I've seen this year.

And tactical question. When the old people had to give up their stuff weeks ago, did Ron and Kelly help them out?

They got shirts from someone, but I think it was the brothers.

It is estimated that the Money Dance is done at well over half of all the wedding receptions throughout the United States. You can decide in which manner your dancing partner can deposit his/her offering . . . in a purse carried by either you on your wrist or held by the hostess, or, as is done most often, they can pin the money on the Bride's veil or the Groom's tuxedo. Pins are offered to guests by the hostess who stands on the edge of the dancing area by the waiting line.

Can't I just stuff it in the bride's thong, like I did before thed wedding?

I would think that the way to avoid guests without the cash to participate is to have piles of cash around for them to use. You know, kind of like how people who have gumball machines in their houses have a bowl of pennies or whatever next to it so that you can get a gumball whenever you want.

Yay!

How does this dollar dance thing work, anyway? ETA oh, I guess I should have read, instead of skimmed, the oft-quoted NFH post. Nevermind.

I can only thank G-d every day that no woman on earth would have considered marrying my lazy, immature, unrealistic, no-money-having drunk ass at 24. The trouble I was spared by being a complete jackass -- who knew?

By 30, however, it seems the women around me had dropped their standards considerably.

Yes, I've noted the quiet desperation in your crowd.

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.

Or next to his pickup if the wedding is down South. Or in Minnesota.

But that would require a money tree, only enhancing the tackiness.

Mario Cipollini. It's a one-day homage.

Damn, I meant to mention that earlier this week. I'm happily watching playoff basketball, tuning out during commercials, and I hear the familiar sounds of Mountain Song. Hey, what's this? WTF? Jane's shilling for Coors Light? Will Perry be covering the "Twins" song next? Ugly.

Little onion guy? Huh.

Would one have to have a tree? Could not one simply have bowls of cash on the tables?

Would someone please send the sun here? I am vaguely unhappy and blame the weather.

FWIW, it's beautiful here and will stay that way for the immediate future. Who knew that you could go all the way to Apirl 27 without turning your air conditioning on in Houston?

The weather gods are going to want retribution. Summer scares me.

I suppose. But I suppose if I were marrying someone who insisted on money dances for cultural reasons, I would not put my own money into the bucket for my guests to give right back. I'd double the tackiness and ask guests to contribute to those less fortunate. Kind of a "leave a penny/take a penny" approach.
