I love a cappella music, and in my opinion, there is nothing better than the soundtrack to Spike Lee’s “Do It A Cappella.” I’ve never seen the film, but the music! It’s all spectacular, but worth getting for the fabulous all-female group The Mint Juleps alone. Their version of “Your Love Keeps Liftin’ Me Higher,” you…

Oh, God...so THAT’S where the idea for all of those hideous transparent corset wedding gowns sold on “Say Yes to the Dress” came from. Every time someone puts one of those hideous things on, I just want to strangle the designer. Now it seems like I’ll have to go after both Pnina Tornai AND Karl Lagerfeld.

Who is that person wearing it? She looks vaguely familiar, but I can’t place her?

I miss formal plaid. As an 80’s college student, I dreamed of a Christmas wedding where everyone wore plaid taffeta skirts. Still love that look, sorry/not sorry.

Oh come now. She was a thick set old lady and I thought she always looked great. I appreciated how she didn’t fight aging and always looked tasteful and appropriate for her age and her role. In 1986, I wore a bridesmaid gown in a yacht club wedding that looked almost exactly like her inaugural gown, complete with…

I wanted this desperately, and I still can’t believe my parents bought it for me. I know they thought it was the dumbest thing in the world, but I loved it. I have no idea why.

Friends of mine used to have a Halloween party and put the Teddy Ruxpin in the bathroom with their own tape. You’d go in there, see Teddy, and he would say “I’m going to kill you.”

I totally had that grocery cart, and some plastic food that went in it, too. That toy chainsaw awakened some kind of distant memory...it’s hard to imagine that I was ever given that, however. Maybe a friend had it.

Possibly, but they were getting along at this point, so I think it was more about me. But you raise an interesting point!

About 15 years ago, my dad asked me to sing at some fundraiser he was arranging at his country club. Now, I’m an old here, so 15 years ago I was 32 - definitely too old to have your parents call you out on your outfit, one might think.

No kidding. I hoped this would be a funny thread, but I just want to punch all these parents in the face.

Kind of mean, but still funny: When I was a hideous 7th grader, I wore a headgear with my braces, and also thought it would be cool to set my hair in sponge curlers. I came downstairs with all this on, my dad did a double take and said, “Jesus! You look like you could pick up radio stations from France!”

Awww...that wasn’t nearly as dramatic and painful as I had hoped. I expected her to at least fall on her ass, and a trickle of blood from somewhere would have been a nice touch, too.

Clearly this woman is a nut and is really enjoying the attention. I have to wonder, though, id this happen once the Loving case was heard in 1963? I’m sure there were clerks who refused to issue licenses to couples of different races due to their religious beliefs. I’m wondering if that situation played out like this…

Oh, I’m not defending it at all, just pointing out how bizarre it is that this would be treated as a serious inquiry.

Few things work my last damn nerve like the phrase “elite pre-school.”

Oh, the question was asked with the utmost politeness. We’ve debated this for years, but we are about 98% certain this was a genuine question - she really wanted to know.

Right? My husband was just...stunned.

Well played, Sprochete. You’ve got spunk.

That’s the first thing I thought of, too!
