Weddings are really out of control, IMO.   The so-called "traditional" touches that folks pay major bucks for really aren't all that traditional.

Same for funerals, sorry to say.



There’s a quip in Paul Rudnick’s new book about weddings and funerals being the same, except one has bridesmaids and the other pallbearers.

Who here uses a B&W laser printer at home?

I've got a Brother that's been a great workhorse for several years, and it's time for a new toner cartridge. I've always bought their own brand to minimize any risk of the thing failing. This time I'm looking at the prices, and mine is still hanging in there at nearly $60 -- which is damned pricey in comparison with "compatibles" at half that, or even two-packs that are half that.

Any personal recommendations one way or the other?

That scene of that first test in New Mexico is iconic and keeps getting depicted in film, television, and even in opera.

A new, untapped market: fashion for pallbearers.

Voldemort is basically a middle school girl: he has a locket, a diary, a tiara, a ring, and is completely obsessed with a teenage boy.

During one of the begathons... uh fund drives, one of the premiums were two tickets to see Tony Bennett in concert in a smallish local venue.
