Thank all of the gods I don't believe in that my late teens and early twenties passed largely unnoticed and without yes wo/men surrounding me.

I always like hearing about how other couples how cohabitated handled this part of the wedding. Originally, I figured we wouldn't need a registry, and wanted to just invite everyone without expecting gifts, unless they were the artsy-crafty type and wanted to make an end table or a painting or whatever. My mom insists

All right bro, just bring some Natty Ice to the next rager and we'll be cool. (Also, I am kind of excited because never before has an author replied directly to me, so eee!)

And what is with the enduring love of jerseys stretched tightly over beer bellies?

Perhaps you missed the note about catharsis at the end. Or perhaps you are a foot-fungus having, alcoholic mess who has no consideration for the people whose homes you invade and are feeling defensive. I don't know either way, but I hope you never have to endure some of the shit as a host that I have. Shalom, homie.

There are a lot of bros that fit your description here in SoCal (mostly South Orange County), but you're right, I think there is a slight culture mix up in the article. When I think California "bros", I either think the aforementioned, moneyed douches, or the ol' Famous Stars and Straps crowd out in the 909.

Man, if all of this had gone down in California, I would swear you were dating my SO's ex-roommate. Smarmy little shit who thought he was James Bond smooth, and just a total waste of time and space; he was so misogynistic, dating two girls at the same time and being an abusive twat to both. I remember my SO and I

Ugh, Tustin/Irvine and their preplanned 50 Shade of Beige townhomes and HOAs that are out for blood. I have cousins in South County who seem actually nervous to cross the dividing line between Tustin and the North (Winter is coming!), it's weird to see a provincial mindset in regards to such a small space and, yes,

I am also extremely glad to have found my life partner too, the thought of trying to get out there (with "there" being the sucky conservative enclave of Orange County) and make a connection now that I'm older and more set in my ways and opinions makes my skin crawl.

Racist, sexist, obsessed with getting fucked up or partying or fighting, being mean to animals, goes on self-involved missionary trips for the local mega-church (there are several in this area), and excreting soul-crushing bitterness over being rejected by the objects of his or her affection. These are things that

So true. At least be incredibly embarrassed and replace it.

See, your detailed instructions are enough for me (as your hypothetical houseguest) to feel like you are really going out of your way for me as a host and, as a reward, I'm getting you drunk tonight!

Always and forever, MK, always and forever.

It depends. If I'm flying out to the middle of nowhere where there aren't any rental cars or public transit available, yeah, getting picked up would be nice. But someplace like NYC? Hell no, there are maps, public transportation, and sidewalks at my disposal. Wandering around the city is like half of the fun, and then

It's a silver lining I look to during this trying times.

What I Want from My Seemingly Frequent Houseguests*:

A gross "friend" of my SO is constantly trying to weasel a weekend stay out of us when he is in the area. When he lived nearby, he would try and come over fairly late on any given night of week to get as fucked up as possible and sleep well into the next day on our couch. (Or else do line after line after line, while

I met him once. I was some lowly child's ride operator at some rich producer's kid's 2nd birthday party and Steve Carell, his wife, and one of their kids was there. They were the epitome of graceful and well-mannered to plebs and famous people alike, even to the clown hired to entertain the kids, who was ready to drop

If you're terrible, so am I. Gorgeous Video Brunette makes it on the list for later.

Holy crap, he should never be allowed to be anywhere near a media outlet and/or representative without a handler to take him firmly in hand. That quote is so absurdly stupid, it borders on hilarious.
