LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT.

"Why yes, I am happy to see you.” Sorry, I’m still not over “complimentary plumbing”.

That said, I think Bush is being a complete doodyhead over this issue.

I’d like you to put warnings on your writings, please, like: Warning: Continuing to read this may cause you to spew coffee out of your nose and onto your monitor. Proceed with caution.

OH MAH LORD I LOVE YOU TO PIECES!!!  That said I too think some sort of Coffee-Snorting-Out-Of-Nose Warning might be called for in the future.

Excellent! I have gay friends who have been in committed, loving relationships for many years. And they can’t get married, and the government does not recognize them as a couple. And yet Britney Spears can get married, as a joke, and then get her joke marriage annulled the next day. Something is very wrong with that picture.

well said, my friend, well said.

hey.  YOU got married at the space needle ‘cause you thought it would be bitchin’, didn’t you.  come on, admit it.

This is excellent. Okay, I’m new here. Help me out. What is proper etiquette for linking to this entry from my blog? Do I have to ask or do I just go ahead and link it?

I have to argue with item #7 of your proposal, or at least ask you to consider pushing the age up to 25. Who the hell knows enough about themself, let alone the person they’re marrying, before the age of 25?

H.T., generally it’s okay to link to an entry without permission (unless you’re slamming it, but in which case you probably wouldn’t call attention to yourself anyway).  However, I do receive 10% royalties from every post linked to on the Internet, so please send me the cash when it’s available.

May I be the lead singer? Or at least lead guitar?

And well said over the marriage stuff.

ooh, ooh, ooh, backup vocals!
i SO want to put “redundant plumbing” on my revised academic CV.  :)
and actually, some of your ideas are not half bad.  i nodded thoughtfully at at least 3 of them.  ;)

Would these laws be ex post facto, man?  I mean, would getting married outside overlooking Lake Erie inside a circle of flowers with a friend playing acoustic guitar when the boy was 20 and the girl was 19 and staying married 30 years and having two children carry a mandatory minimum prion term?

Prison, prison—I didn’t mean that the accused should be infected ith mad cow disease.

I will retain lead singing responsibilities in R.P. because I can’t do anything else but maracas and tamborine (and that’s a euphemism) and I look so good with hair extensions and leather pants.  I will need a lot of backup, y’all are invited. 

Greg only gets royalties on blogs that swipe his material.  HT, you’re in the clear here.  I may have plenty of something, but it ain’t geese.

And I’ll just note that there are only 25 more hours to send me an email asking for the recipe for lucky glucose squares before the offer closes.  Best damn dessert you could ever serve.  Clock’s ticking, people!

anyone who’s ever had their plumbing go out knows how important redundant plumbing can be.  frankly, it sort of makes me think we should get some gay marriages going just to ensure that the shower doesn’t go out.

and, no, i’m not talking about the golden shower, thank you very much.

Great post! nothing to add, couldn’t have said it better.

Can I be invited to do an occasional guest duet in RP?
