Your Friendly Neighborhood Drunk Thread! 10/14/11

I used to manage a bridal store. This is 100% accurate. The mothers are who count. Win over the mom, you're good to go.

 

Because demanding a bunch of people travel internationally to see your wedding--at great expense--is crass in the extreme.

 

Where the hell does a virgin who only gives handjobs get the right to criticize my foreplay? Jesus Christ, woman, this isn't fucking middle school.

Dixiebandit would have loved her. Guess why.

 

Well played, madam. Well played.

 

So I hate Coldplay. With a passion. I just in general think they suck. Their music seems to play to the least common denominator to me. I only know one other person who can't stand them.

My wife likes them, but seems to think that everyone else hates them. I am trying to convince her that the general population seems to like them a lot. Otherwise they wouldn't be as famous (and it had nothing to do with Garden State).

Am I alone in hating them?

 

You're funny when you whine like a bitch.

Edit: Have fun at Hedonism II.

 

There was some attention whore at my work who had her wedding in fucking Kauai. (We lived in California) Kauai is a 3k mile flight from where everyone lived, and an expensive as shit place to just stay, eat and breathe.

Then she had the honeymoon in Las Vegas.

The stupid cunt had it mixed up. You get married in Vegas, which is closer and cheaper for everyone who lives in California, and then you go on your honeymoon in Hawaii.

But she just to had to be an attention whore.

 

Did she expect people to travel to attend her wedding? I guess I fail to see how choosing a different location is anymore attention whoring than any other person who is getting married. Probably less so actually than the person who gets married and invites the entire office from CEO to the cleaning staff. You guys are looking at it all wrong. Some people don't WANT to have a 300+ person wedding, so to avoid hurt feelings about not inviting so and so, they do a destination wedding. That way, the people who actually want to come will come. The people who feel obligated to come because you invited them will have an easy out. I guess it is different if you are one who plans a destination wedding then expects most people to follow them there to celebrate.

 

Ohh, she wanted everyone to come to it. She sent out invitations to everyone in the company. And later she sent out invitation magnets, so that you could remember every time you wanted a Diet Coke from your fridge. Believe me she was attention whore to the extreme.

When several people in the office she felt close to said "we can't fucking afford it, we can't go. We don't even have the time off, and you know it" she stopped speaking to them, and cut them out of her life.

What you say makes sense, but this girl was not as smart as you.

 

Jesus, I was sleep deprived. I probably was only mildly coherent last night. I vaguely remember using douchey french phrases and being denied a crepe.

Haha, thanks for being good sports, sssskycko, mc, and audrey.

 

I had no idea y'all were going to a second bar! I desperately needed to eat something, but I should've met up with you guys afterwards. My bad.

 

Wait, Brian.

Your last name is Cockface?

 

So instead of being adult and forthright about things with peripheral friends, people make big demands of the finances and vacation time of the people they really care about? Jesus.

 

In that case that she got pissed at people who couldn't come, yes, she was a fame whore. As far as the magnets go, that is pretty common as a save the date type of thing. I can see that being even more important with a destination wedding since you have to take travel plans and time off work into account rather than just tossing on a suit and heading down the road.

 

Why don't you just re-read that instead of paraphrasing what you think you want to read. I'll even pull out the key sentence for you since sexy time seems to not be the only thing you are having difficulty with. "That way, the people who actually want to come will come."

 

I slept all afternoon and I'm still tired.

But the most important takeaway from last night was that a pimp in Union Square tried to add syscko to his stable.

 

I'm still trying to psyche myself up for the 3000 mile drive back to Mississippi in a truck with 200K on it.

My greatest fear has always been breaking down in the middle of nowhere and 3K of road gives ample opportunity of that becoming reality. I always have to work myself up for these trips.

Not to mention my co pilot being an angry and very vocal parrot. I counted it up the other day and he's been in 22 states. That's more then nost humans.

At least if I break down I will be well armed and have night vision capabilities, which in my hillbilly world are very important. You never know when bears are lurking on the hilltop.

Or hippies.

Fuck both of 'em.

 

Yes, I understood the thing about "people who actually want to come", I am in fact literate. The point is, those people who actually want to come will have to spend lots of money and take off vacation time from work. So instead of just telling someone who you don't want to invite "I'm sorry, but we can't afford/don't want a large wedding and we can't invite you", you invite everyone who would be offended by not being invited and then filter out the people who really want to come by having them spend a lot of money and dedicate a lot of time to be able to come.

Doesn't make sense to me. All I'm saying.

 

I think that was my favorite part of the whole night. Everyone needs to know that he was wearing a suit and smoking a cigar while asking, and during his conversation another one of his hos came up to him to give him some money.

It was awesome.
