Shit, dude, that sounds reasonable, to be honest.

It’s always cute when people who’ve never gotten married have these ideas. Here’s the reality, though: Weddings are events, events that cater to two different families, and events are expensive no matter what you do. Just a few examples:

Haaaaaa, and they’re always so smug about it, aren’t they?

A LOT depends on what you want, where you shop, and how desperate the guy is to just get it over with. Shitty jewelry stores can spot a guy buying an engagement ring a mile away and they WILL try to rip you off; my wife actually gave me a very specific set of guidelines to avert this.

Seems pretty over the top, actually. There are entire businesses dedicated to driving this cost down at this point.

Looking at those numbers, I’m guessing the officiant came with the venue in a lot of cases.

The average is completely skewed by lavish weddings. Like, throw those out and I bet the overall spend is halved or cut even further.

Well, you also have the fact that men aren’t automatically assumed to be doing something “for the kids.” I have a friend who splits his day between mornings at the office and working from home in the afternoon, something he explicitly does because he and his wife worked out a split schedule so they could balance…

Any name that removes vowels from a common word to trademark said name. Like, serious, I see your app is titled, say, WTHR or MUZYK, my first instinct is to tell you to go fuck yourself.

To be fair, if I remember correctly there was some language in the bill about mandatory treatment if you had a positive hit. But it was still a pretty moronic response to the issue, especially since the rest of the state government was busy building a network for medical treatment of addiction and routing heroin users…

Never did have a problem with it. When I worked in an office, I had several co-workers who put on perfume/cologne in the bathroom. We’re not talking “apply with firehose,” obviously, but there’s also a difference between a crowded subway car with some air recirculation and a cube farm.

For those unfamiliar, McAllister’s response to his district’s absolutely awful drug addiction problem (heroin use is staggering in Franklin) was to introduce legislation that would mandate drug testing for those on public assistance.

Real talk: On humid days, if you got balls, they will stick to your thigh. It is an unpleasant experience that makes a hot day worse. I understand wanting to avoid that.

Honestly, I find the “I don’t fit so I’m going to make myself fit” thing is more common among ‘roid-case assholes.

That guy’s an asshole, but to be totally honest, anybody who is going to be within proximity to other people and doesn’t care enough to put on deodorant/hold off on the stench-juice (perfume, cologne, whatever) until they get to work is ALSO an asshole. That’s a person deliberately taking advantage of common courtesy…

That cracked me the hell up when I read this.

Oh, that grey thing? Yeah, I can’t use it in mine. Wish I could. Would have solved a lot of problems!

TL;DR: The refillable pods are badly engineered.

Walker will never be President. He might run, but he can’t be either the clown the far right wants nor the actual respectable candidate who has a prayer of getting elected.

Don’t forget, Falcone’s out of the picture, too, albeit not dead.
