Does that mean GGG would have better luck whispering in a different orifice? I'm not hip to all these cultural dances--I'm only an honorary white person.

A family of five sat behind us last week. The non-infant kids got bored pretty early and kept on asking when they could go. The dad pointed out the game clock and told them that they only had however minutes left. I suspect his wife was happy that the last Texans touchdown was flagged away and then fumbled away, because it could have easily otherwise gone into overtime.

I couldn't want to take kids to a pro-football game mainly because it's pricey, and they don't get much out of it. The seventy bucks plus concessions is better spent on a babysitter.

Princess never cared about footbal until she was in HS and friends with a quarterback. She was perfectly happy with HS games and is now a bigger fan of college ball than pro.

Monster likes the HS games, too. He asked about a pro game one time and I told him how much it would cost and asked if he wanted to spend the money on that or something else. We wound up going out for sushi after a trip to the zoo.

How many of you wrote and read your own vows? I think I'm way too shy or private or reserved or something not to feel like a complete idiot declaring my unscripted vows in front of other people (not to my beloved, of course, just in front of others).

So... just how weird does that make me? Please compare me only to all you freaks as a group, not the general population.

we were *not* original, for basically the same reason.

Jeez, rich white lady like you should just hire somebody to do it for you.

I would have wrote and read my own vows, but that would have required me to take the beer hat tubes out of my mouth.

We took vows suggested by our minister, and revised them to better suit us.

Do what you're comfortable and happy with. Don't worry about feeling weird.

Plus, I thought no one was going to be there anyway.... and anyone who cared would probably care more about the knocked-up bride.

Penal Code sections 286; 288a(b); 289(h). Non-consent is not an element of the offense.

Interesting, though, that my dry-humping 17-year-olds are able to slip through the cracks, as it were, so long as there is no penetration anywhere.

Yeah. I'd rather go with the scripted version. Not many people will be there, but I'm even embarrassed to expose such personal sentiments in front of the officiant! I know. I'm strange.

I'm not sure why I'm so squeamish about being the knocked-up bride. It wouldn't even register with me if I were an attendee at a shotgun wedding, but being one of the parties in the shotgun wedding makes me a little, um... embarrassed? (I probably shouldn't admit that.)

Wow, did you really just invite this crowd to help you write your vows?

I just hope Flower's not around. Anyone got popcorn?
