Edit: sorry a dozen swans but white wine is gross and tastes like vinegar always. Is it possible to have a palette overly sensitive towards vinegar? I think I taste it in everything.

behold i have tempered and refined thee, but not as silver; as CRAB


Had a guest list of 250 of our closest friends and family. My wife just informed me her dress was over 1k(I think I blocked that out). After the rehearsal dinner my best man got drunk and started a bar fight with some random dude(he got beat badly but took off after finding out I was getting married the next day "you man is getting married tomorrow and yer starting this poo poo? I'm outa here"(I was sobbing)) and the only reason we didn't end up in jail was because another groomsmen was good buddies with the cops that cornered us. It was pretty surreal.
When I was driving him home in his own car he jumped out of it while we were doing 25 or so and ran across a park because he was tired of me yelling at him.I gave up and went home. He of course showed up the next day acting completely sober and mentioned he blacked out and woke up on his front porch. He then ruined my plastic trim on my truck by using white shoe polish to write "just married".


In hindsight an Elvis wedding in Las Vegas would have been much less stressful. Plus we could have bought a cheap mustang for what we would have saved. The photos are pretty awesome though.

I didn't tell my wife what happened until after the honeymoon.

To be fair, the classist poo poo had nought to do with religion and everything to do with the fact that my Dad had what he considered to be a better education and a better income and he didn't think the son of a collision guy could provide for me. My folks were snotty but circumstances and age have softened them. A little.

Edit so I don't sound classist.

Bourbon is my favorite but during the winter I drink a lot of pinot noir. It's weird how seasonal my drinking is.

If you've never had a horse's neck made with bourbon you should do that. Bourbon, tonic, bitters - that's the entire recipe! Tastes awesome.

Last night I has 2 glasses of Argentinian Malbec and then passed out on Mr.Kitty while he was playing AC:Black Flag. I R lightweight. But it was tasty. I miss my SoCal winery, though. I used to buy by the case every fall. Now I have to go to Tokyo to find a store with a decent selection (whose bottles I can read.)

(Usually I drink the ¥400 stuff in the plastic bottle.)

also i just posted this in auspol but i doubt any of those MEN will care so i will leave it here as well bc this is a great aussie feminist anthem

http://unionsong.com/u263.html

We're really on the way, girls, really on the way,
Hooray for equal pay, girls, hooray for equal pay,
They're going to give it to most of us, in spite of all their fears
But do they really need to make us wait three years.

Chorus
Don't be too polite girls, don't be too polite,
Show a little fight girls, show a little fight,
Don't be fearful of offending, in case you get the sack
Just recognise your value and we won't look back.

I sew up shirts and trousers in the clothing trade,
Since men don't do the job I can't ask to be better paid
The people at the top rarely offer something more
Unless the people underneath are walking out the door.

They say a man needs more to feed his children and his wife,
Well, what are the needs of a woman who leads a double working life?
When the whistle blows for knock-off it's not her time for fun
She goes home to start the job that's not paid and never done.

Don't be too afraid girls, don't be too afraid,
We're clearly underpaid girls, clearly underpaid,
Tho' equal pay in principle is every woman's right
To turn that into practice, we must show a little fight.

We can't afford to pay you, say the masters in their wrath
But woman says "Just cut your coat according to the cloth"
If the economy won't stand then here's the answer boys,
"Cut out the wild extravagance on the new war toys".

All among the bull girls, all among the bull,
Keep your hearts full girls, keep your hearts full
What good is a man as a doormat, or following at heel?
It's not their balls we're after, it's a fair square deal.

That song is fantastic. Sucks that it's from 1969 though; it really shouldn't still be an accurate portrayal of society at all.

Have you tried any of the other boxed drinks that keep appearing? Boxed cosmopolitan was alright, but boxed cs cowboys was a bit rough.

I like the boxed wines in the US that are like a juice box, but for me. It's like, 2 bottles, but I just add a straw.

Seriously, I must have been tired last night I can't believe I passed out after 2 glasses.

E: I'm not drinking tonight, because I got a box from Sephora. So I'm playing dress up and buying more. I think I'm in a rabbit hole, please send help.

IKR??!! it's pretty outrageous that this is still a thing. when i read backlash by susan faludi as a teenager i kind of got why poo poo was still poo poo but poo poo shouldn't BE poo poo so we have to keeping fighting poo poo. smash patriarchy with huge fists of womanly fury

i actually haven't tried boxed cocktails, wchich is incredible given my predilection for boxed alcohol. i cant believe cowboy comes in a box that is loving disgusting and perhaps a bridge to far even for me (lol no it isnt nothing is a bridge too far let us prance clumsily along the boxed hooch bridge to nowhere/everywhere)

the really great thing about the lf women's thread was just how much we were able to dive into contemporary feminism and discuss it on a theoretical level and a lay level so most women could understand and participate (esp once girl robot and khamsek got bant) and also just have chats about our experiences of microaggressions, sexual violence and internalised misogyny and predominantly-female forms of self-harm like eating disorders and then also talk about non-political and non-depressing things. what facilitated that was it being a mostly autonomous space but once the stupid male mods decided for us that men should be able to post it just turned into the most enormous clusterfuck and died. this thread is really cool and i'm glad it's here because even though it's not SERIOUS FEMINIST DISCUSSION all the time it's very nice to chill out with other women in a forum and talk about bullshit and important poo poo and be able to tell stupid bros to gently caress off out of this one thread that is not for bros

anyway this has been a nostalgiapost from your friend fruity gordo

e: also obvi this is not going to become autonomous and im not saying that that is the defining feature of a feminist space bc some men are capable of not being revolting bros. lf was a sandpit full of petulant brosephs and insular as gently caress, hence why we had to keep them out. im just reminiscin
