ROUGE SNOOZE

(ie when you get makeup on your pillow because you were too tired to take it off before passing out)

"This pillow is evidence of a serious rouge snooze. That is in no small part thanks to the booze luge."

Amanda, I think \zh\, \z\, \sh\, \ch\, and \j\ are all fair game.

lol @ JEWZ BLOOZ

That guy with the beer cans on his head looks sort of like Nick.

Stop ruining funny words w/linguistics.

Sorry. There is a limited pool of words that ends with the same sound as "luge" so that is a more challenging item, that's all!

Carry on.

More challenging, yes, but I think we've said them all!

Except

DREW'S HUGE

(MOULIN, that is)

By the way, I too had to sign in through w3hrd.

Yeah, ilxor.com is down for everyone because apparently they need to renew the URL or something.

O I C

I predict that in a few weeks to a couple of months the corn harvest is going to be TOTALLY RAD. This is corn-growin weather if I've ever seen it.

Wait a minute, HUGE is \j\, not \zh\.

We're really only talking about BOUGE, LUGE, and ROUGE, right? I can't think of any other words than end that way.

xpost It's been fun to watch all the robins and sparrows descend upon people's wet lawns the last couple of mornings. At first I didn't understand why there were like two dozen birds in my next-door neighbor's front yard, and then I was like OH YEAH, WORMS.

Is that Lowly?

It is! I love Lowly Worm.

Has anyone here given a toast at a wedding thing before? I am supposed to do one at the rehearsal dinner for my sister's upcoming nuptials but I have no good idea of what to talk about. I know people suggest funny stories, anecdotes, etc, but I don't really have any that involve both her and her man aside from stuff like "Remember that time we got drunk at the bar and then you guys were making out in S@m's kitchen? That was kind of sick."

I don't think it has to involve both of them, necessarily. You can tell a funny story about her, or about the two of you growing up, and then make some sort of transition into "...who knew that 10 years later she'd be tying the knot?" etc.

You can tell a funny story about her

like how she can suck a golf ball through a garden hose

I've done it three times, maybe four? Just choose something noncontroversial but amusing and personal and don't talk for too long. No one wants to hear your speech, they want to eat cake and dance.

kenan plz 2 not talk about my only sister that way kthx

i take that back. I didn't read the post carefully enough to get that this was your sister. I never would have said that otherwise. sorry sorry sorry, ferreal.

don't talk for too long

Yes, this is key. I actually do enjoy hearing toasts but not when they're like typed up and go on for five pages, as happened at one wedding I went to last summer.

There were great toasts at the wedding I played last weekend. Two people from a prominent local band got married, and the leader of the band got to tell stories about how he absolutely forbid intra-band dating, and look what happened etc.

Ha ha spam subject line: "lowly graduated cylinder"

At the wedding I went to in February, the maid of honor went on for 14 minutes (a tablemate timed her).

+5 pts if she was crying for at least 50% of those 14 min.

Ha, there will be none of that, lengthwise or crywise. I hope to get at least a few laughs, but I'm keeping it under 5min.

it would totally be awesome if you got all misty

My mouse pointer was over "misty" so it looked like you said "it would be totally awesome if you got all nasty."

Like reworked some 2 Live Crew lyrics so they were about my family?

I said that before and the joke didn't go over too well

Ha, that's why I laughed--I thought, oh man, here he goes again.

there is a difference
