Classic line. I only have a son, so I can't really see any way that I would ever be walking a bride down the aisle to give her away, but if I ever did and the groom recited that line to me I would probably LOL until I Bonzai'd my pants.

Very, very cool. I really don't think I can even imagine having that kind of burden - or how free you're feeling.

Ditto. I figured this was done long, long ago. Congratulations.

I'm pretty sure I'd have the same issues getting laid if I liked the penis instead of the ######.

I'll top that (I think).Both of Mrs. TF's parents passed away by the time we got married so she had her older brother walk her down the aisle. I had thought he had seen Old School, but apparently he hadn't yet. As he gave her away to me, I whispered the "It takes a man to give away an angel" line that Vince Vaughn said in the flick.Met up with a bunch of friends for drinks after work to celebrate the engagment of our friends who had been together for years. He proposed to her last night which was apparently 5 years to the day of their first date. There was about 10 of us there tonight for a few drinks as the newly engaged couple were driving out of state in a couple hours to share the sad happy news with the bride to be's family. (interesting that the bride wasn't drinking she said because she was going to be the one driving tonight, the rest of us are assuming she's pregers and that's why they got engaged)
So after a couple rounds (not to mention I got there early and got a head start) one idiot in the group decides to buy a round of shots for everyone (ok, the idiot is actually me) So we're about to do the shot and then one of my GBs says that someone should make a toast and he nominates me to do it (mostly because he knows that I've been drinking more than anyone else and I'll probably say something inappropriate) So I reached deep down into my soul and came up with the following:
"As we go down life's lonesome's highway (dramatic pause as I sigh)
It seems (slight dramatic pause) the hardest thing to do, (now looking directly at engaged couple)
Is to find (pause, fake like I'm choking up) a friend, or 2.
That helping hand (pause, close my eyes and bite my quivering lower lip)
Someone who understands.
When you feel (slight pause) you've lost your way,
You've got someone there to say: (very dramatic pause)
I'll show you. (now tapping my fist on my heart and pointing to the happy couple)
Here's to the happy couple, Cheers."
Yep, they thought I'd be inappropriate, but instead I quoted Lionel Richie's "Say You... Say Me" and performed it like a 5 time Oscar winner!!!! The bride-to-be had tears in her eyes as she hugged me and said how beautiful that was. A couple GB's commented on how "deep" that was. The groom-to-be hugged me and said "sorry dude, that must have tough for you, I know your divorce was rough". I am completely and utterly shuked that no one knew what I had just done. I kinda feel like I should get some credit for my performance, but they all think it was just a heart felt toast. WTF!!!
So everyone gets up to leave and I go to pay my tab to the bartender and he says to me: "Hey, nice toast Lionel. Maybe if the happy couple has a kid, you could qoute some versus from "I Believe The Children Are The Future" at the baptism"That ugly bartender with a creepy lazy eye made my night with that comment.
The next day (we had a thing at my parents house b/c we weren't leaving for the honeymoon until 2 days after the wedding), he came to me kind of choked up and said something to the effect of "that was really sweet....". I didn't know what to say, so I said nothing. A few months later, he calls after finally watching Old School. Mrs. TF and I were dying laughing.

We're supposed to get another winter storm here tomorrow night and Monday. I'm hoping for a power outage for half the state so Auburn fans can't watch Oregon whip that ### on Monday night. I have a nice sized fireplace, firewood, food in the freezer, and an immense hatred for those cow humpers.

That's pretty awesome...wow that must have been hard to deal with, and it must feel great now. Hope they are being supportive and accepting.I was to everyone EXCEPT my parents. I'm amazed they never heard it through the grapevine. All my friends have known, all my clients, all my co-workers, etc. Dallas really isn't that big when it comes to the grapevine.

I found a Cajun butcher here in Birmingham a while back. They did a crappy job of advertising because I only found them a couple of months ago. The boudin wasn't great, but it was fresh and a lot better than anything else I can get here. I'm pretty sure I could eat boudin every day of my life.
I thought about not buying the etouffee they had there because my own is pretty good. Apparently I need to change my recipe a little because theirs was frozen and better than mine.

I figured that, but I'm wondering why you were hesitant to talk to them about it. I'm glad to hear it went so well. You must feel a lot better.I was to everyone EXCEPT my parents.

I swear to baby Jebus that St. Louis BOB looks exactly like Trent Dilfer. I"m watching Sportscenter and I'm looking at Dilfer, and all i see is SLB. And granted I been drinking tonight (went to Disney on Ice today with little 'Zooks this afternoon... you'd be drinking now too) but I kinda think they are the same person. Seriously, I want to see DNA testing done on Maury Po##### about this. Whenever Difer is on espn, SLB is conveniently NOT posting in the FFA. Coincidence....... I think not. If i had the inspiration or soberness, I'd post a pic of both them side by each.

catching up on some movies I've missed...
Ctrl-Alt-Delete (2008) - seriously effed up movie about Y2k, but worth watching
Garden State (2006) - Zach Braff-ish, but very good
Winter's Bone (2010) - watching right now, and just waiting for jeep to make a cameo...
Easy A is on deck...

I think she has a weird look in the line of Clair Danes. She is pretty and a good actress. But since I'm a chick, her powers don't work on me.What did you think of Emma Stone?I was talking about Easy A. I also really liked Garden State, and loved the soundtrack.

From 2003-2006 I rented out a room in my townhouse. I had about five roommates over that span. None of them were sane.I used everything from roommates.com to craigslist. Be as picky as you can but realize that once they have moved in, they will revert to their worst behavior. The problem is usually that it's your house, not theirs, so they won't have any regard for, well, anything. I never did see any of them clean once save their laundry.There's no way I'd ever have a roommate again. Ever.Good luck, you'll need it.

Can I stop picturing shuke's shaved chest or not? I hope you're still alive, GB.
DR, I don't know. I think I'm going to try to pick-up a roommate when I move, but only if I'm still severely broke. There's hope on that front, but if I don't move quickly enough, that fact will make it more difficult to move. Explaining any of this in more detail might be more difficult than the Xmas present experiment.
