April Fool's was a couple of days ago.

It had to be you,
It had to be you,
I wandered around, and finally found, somebody who
Could make me be true....

Oh, you crazy kids! The Vegas wedding. Congratulations, my dears.

April Fool's was a couple of days ago.

and so was this.

uh, there should have been quotes around the first line.

just imagine that they're there.

congrats, you two!

Oh well, then. Color me surprised.

Congrats.

You see what marriage does to you.

That's me and hubby on our 5 year anniversary.

Your husband is Dennis Hopper, playing Lurch?

Cangratulations, Dana. Woo!

Awww, thanks you guys. (Eloping is fun! I can't wait to do it again.)

Hey, Congrats.
Vidiot is merely jealous because he wanted Nick.

uh, Dong, that comment was addressed to Tizzie.

It's okay. We're all hard-hit.

Only ass shoutouts from Vegas honeymoons will assuage our pain.

I didn't even see Tizzie's link. Is that Johnny and June Ca$h?

Why is Ca$h a questionable word that I have to mung?

How fucking long have I been gone?

Long Gone Dong, the legendary western rambler, rode into town on a pale painted horse named Buttmunch.

That is the first sentence of the missing Zane Grey novel, EndTimes at the OK Corral.

And no, that's not Johnny and June. It's a photo from this "controversial" exhibit of photography from Appalachia.

Which has nothing to do with Dana's nuptial bliss.

indeed, sorry for the derail.

The derail, dear friend, was mine - and so is the shame of it!

That dude likes like bob dole.

Dana is the second friend of mine to elope to vegas in the last month.

These things happen in threes, ya know...

hush!

Your first few weddings are always the most fun.

Someday, I want to ask someone to be my future ex-wife.

Wowzers! Many congrats, Dana & Nick! What exciting news!!

Can I have any more exclamation points?!

I'd toast you two, but I've had quite enough beer for one work night at the hockey game tonight. I may have to wait until tomorrow. Rest assured, though, Midwestern drinks will be hoisted in your honor.

I have no idea what this thread is about.

Crash, it's a word puzzle. Switch the letters around and you'll get the lyrics to several late seventies Peuvian dance favorites.

I'd love to go to Peu someday.

Much love and a heap of congratulations to the Cowboy and her Babalugats.

My job is forcing me to work on a deluxe re-issue of Pornography by the Cure.

Why God Why??

Thankfully, the radio just fired up "God Of Thunder," so I can cleanse myself.

Anyone interested in the weird monkey flask?

Dammit, there goes the wedding present surprise.

Congratulations CBS - putting on the ole' ball and chain!
[BTW, since you're not registered anywhere, I was forced to get creative: here's something for the inevitable post-happy-honeymoon chafing...]

Pornography was my favorite album in high school. Why don't you fly out to Menlo Park and write this software manual, and I'll come listen to The Cure for a while, jon?

Heh. I finished, and thankfully got to work on an Elvis Costello King Of America reissue after.

Truth be told, kaf, my Cure/Smiths/Depeche Mode antipathy has been a source of greif to me over the years, since most of my generational peers love them and hold them up as talismans of cool, so I've tried repeatedly to get into them, but have never managed. I feel vaguely like an exile, like I missed some crucial bonding ritual.

Oh, well.

Is this the Rhino two-disc release of King of America Good to see that's out finally, though the order in which they've reissued his albums makes no sense.

Yes it is, vidiot. I love his stuff, but he has too many people playing on his records. Just like I love Hawaiian people but their language has too many apostrophes.

I have a dream in which I go back in time and kill Burt Bacharach before he can make Elvis Costello really boring.

It's a beautiful dream.

kaf -- Make sure you get him in Florida. Then you can claim it was self-defense.

"Your honor, he made Elvis Costello make my ears bleed."
"Case dismissed!"

Giving the matter some serious consideration, I'd say that is fucking nuts.

Hooray! A jones for the city + Midwest Airlines sale = my friend Christyl and I are coming to New York over Memorial Day weekend. If any of you monkeys will be around that Saturday or Sunday evening, let me know and we'll grab cocktails.

(Hmm. If I bring an insulated lunch bag, can I safely bring back some yummies from Rice to Riches? I wonder... It must be tried.)

Count me in! And do y'all need a place to stay?

Rice to Riches ships their rice pudding, so I feel confident you could get some back to WI from here.

We're still working on lodging. We found a small hotel in Murray Hill that seems decent, but we haven't booked anything yet. Why -- you know of some good deals?

Now to plan what we should do over the weekend. We get in Saturday morning and leave Monday night. So many things to do, so short a time. *sigh*

So who's coming down for this next round of Dallas chicanery? So much to live up to. At least one of you out of state monkeys can make the drive/flight, right? I'll put you up.

aine42, I don't want to speak for Vidiot, but (BUT) we do both have spare bedrooms in the same building.

So save your money! Spend it on fun things like booze and carousal instead!

And Dallas. Hm. I will never forget the parts of that night that I still remember. You do have a high bar to clear this time round, mister. (Be sure dejah gets a kiss and a guilt trip from me, okay?)

damn, chico. I felt bad for posting here so late in CST. Thanks for stepping up. That said, if things go as they are right now, I fucking *will* make it up to visit the NYC folks in fall or autumn or armegeddon. Take your pick.

Dammit, I'm going to Florida over Memorial Day. (And not to shoot Elvis Costello, though it seems sort of serendipitous...) You're welcome to stay in my apt., aine, though you'd have to occasionally pound on the walls and yell Callate! Because my neighbors have come to expect it, and I'd hate to disappoint them.

Holy crap. Free lodging? For li'l ol' us? You guys are the greatest. We would LOVE to stay with y'all! We'll even come bearing traditional Midwestern gifts. (No, no cows.)

Damn -- we should have flown in to LGA instead of Newark! Ah, well. We've got friends in NJ we need to visit, too.

I can vouch for that inflatable bed at Chez Chico, aine. *wink*wink*

And both Chico and Dana have spare slots in their monkey toothbrush holders.

No one ever flies in to visit Boxborough, Massachusetts. :-( But if you do, you can totally sleep on my couch!

My guest beds are available. And it's not too big a deal to get from EWR to our neck of the woods -- 30 minutes and eleven bucks to NJ Transit will get you to Penn Station, and from there it's an easy subway ride to anywhere.

But I really think we should kidnap y'all and make you stay longer.

I'm all for staying longer, but Miz Christyl is out of vacation days and won't get more until July. Foo. :(

And, of course it goes without saying, if anyone comes to visit Milwaukee, there's a spare room at Chez Aine. It's not exactly furnished right now, but it will be by August. (Best way to get around to furnishing a spare room: Have visitors coming to stay with you! It's quite the incentive.)

John, I'm sleeping on your couch RIGHT NOW! Here, call your house and talk to me.

A co-worker of mine has alerted me to a minor mystery. Apparently, Miss Debralee Scott, she of the most feathered hair in history, has passed on.

GoogleNews is mum on the subject, and IMDB still lists her as alive. This game show site (scroll down about halfway) has a legnthy obit.

That chick was u-freakin-biquitous in the media when I was a kid, and just about all the teenage girls in those days looked like her. Sad to see her go.

Vaya con dios, o feathered one.

"No one ever flies in to visit Boxborough, Massachusetts."

That is so NOT TRUE. I flew in there several times.

And, as fate would have it, may be looking at another possible job there. Again.

And to the blushing bride, our own Ms. MRS. Cowboy Sally!
Congratulations!

Too late to kiss the bride? Howzabout a little heavy petting? C'mon. Be a sport.

Not until I get those anal screws you promised, ColdChef.

I fear her innocence has been lost!

Speaking of lost innocence, as of Saturday I am officially Cohabitating With A Woman I Am Not Married To.

Yours in sin,
Vidiot

Congratulations, you shameless fornicator, you!

You crazy kids. Have fun!

Waitasec...this means I can fornicate now?

I'm working on 7 CD compilations of Brodway favorites. I think I might be becoming a little bit gay. I may need deprogramming soon.

Are you required to listen to the CDs you're working on?

Not required, per se, but recommended so that we can double check that the track listings are accurate. It's worth noting that when I told my gay co-worker across the cube what I was working on, he said "you poor man."

Holdup.

What happened here? I leave for a coupla months and people go and elope? The hell you say.

Eloping is truly the only way to get the job done. Super duper congrats! Maximal enormo congrats! Plus, now you can have sex. Bonus!

Any chance a brother could have a listen to them Broadway albums? I mean, if that was his cup of cappuchino?

Well, chef, those CD's are long-gone now. Today, I worked on a Baker Gurvitz Army CD, so if you have a hankering for fuzzed-out dope casualties, today's your lucky day.

Umm...thanks anyway, dude.

Man, I gotta come by this place more often.
