AFFS High Command: Eternal Grandeur

[97jedi]

Nothing like a new thread to spiff up this place, eh?

[Charlie 6]

I was wondering what you'd name this.

[Neko_Bijin]

Isn't this premature?

[Klep]

That's what SHE...wait... no...

and to think, we ended the last one on the topic of bacon... a definite high point  O0

I was hoping to see bacon in the title.

[97jedi]

I considered Bacon Triumphant as a subtitle, but went another way. I mean, what is bacon if not eternally grand?

Me too, great minds thinking alike and all that...

[Neko_Bijin]

I had bacon this morning, along with eggs over-easy, grits and toast.  Whee!

[Charlie 6]

Although, Bacon's Eternal Grandeur might drag the riff-raff in.

My thoughts exactly.

[Charlie 6]

My thoughts exactly.

Yes, and you had just made a point.

[Weirdo]

hello all you happy people...

What a frustrating day. Not enough accomplished at work, my mother has apparently been inviting people to my wedding at random without mentioning it, I'm exhausted, I have a doctor's appointment...blegh.

So the magic number is now 30 and a half pages (REAL pages, not those silly ones that have less than the maximum number of posts)?

She totally invited me.  And then she said something.  Yeah!

Another trip to the used bookstore.  Someone had turned in a bunch of non-Fleming 007 novels, so there went my store credit and more.

One of the guys in my sword arch showed up with his wife (expected) and his mother (unexpected) but didn't come to the reception (sadly unexpected).  At the moment of seeing his mother I was shuffling the seating chart in my head because my wife and drilled that and the timeline (down to the minute as my brother likes to point out) into my head.  So it could be worse, right?  Hope the appointment goes well.

We didn't quite elope, but it was maybe a dozen or people at our wedding.  She chose the Hawaiian honeymoon over the fancy wedding. 

[Arkansas Warrior]

Yes, and you had just made a point.

That too, but mostly I was trying to time the first post on 100.  I'm some times a bit of a shellfish. :)

Damn the Internets.

Bacon-wrapped shellfish? ;)

[Neko_Bijin]

Somewhere a rabbi is cringing.

I want, but will settle for the home made spaghetti.

[Charlie 6]

Somewhere a rabbi is cringing.

But think of the bacon lovers out there.

Your mom pulling that crap too? I told my mom if she wanted to do that crap, she could chip some money in. That shut her up pretty quickly.

As my mother is a devout Catholic, we don't discuss the topic, as it invariably degenerates quickly.

[Weirdo]

Beware of asking mothers to put their money where their meddle is. Mine pulls the reverse: She'll give me money on any occasion with no conditions, then assumes that this later gives her the authority to control things later as she wishes.

My mom has insisted on paying for things we don't want, like a luncheon after the wedding for all my relatives (we're not attending, we're having a small grill-out with friends at a park). It's madness, madness!

[greatsarcasmo]

Gotcha. My future SiL had that done by her husbands parents. My mom doesn't have much money, so it's kind of mean to say that to her, but she expects me to invite her friends and their kids. I'm trying to avoid bankruptcy, afterall. In fact, I just wanted a courthouse wedding and take all the cash and go to Tahiti or something.  Goodluck!
