Flying back to NC tomorrow for a wedding that I'm in...love my buddy getting married, but having his GD rehearsal on a Wednesday is f***ing weak.
 
Cousin married a girl who sounded kinda similar. Seemingly normal and attractive, driven to be successful, well educated, and from a family that you’d never pair her with. Her parents were redneck to the extreme, had no teeth, and mush mouth combined with their accents made them virtually unintelligible. A no-alcohol wedding was had.

Anyway fast forward 10 years, and my cousin is now divorced from his unemployed former wife. Her hobbies include clogging, not showering, and withdrawal from any semblance of society.

I think in-laws are sometimes unfairly given red flags when they should be yellow flags, at worst (guilty of this at times myself).... but when there are actual serious red flags, run far, far away.
 
* I'm sure there's a way to pull off the double monkstrap dress shoe, but I'm just not sure what that way is. Thoughts?
 
The bride's family other than the bride herself did absolutely nothing by way of offering time or money. They didn't pay a dime for the rehearsal, the venue, the DJ, the florist...etc...didn't pick up a single bill. So, the Chicago contingent got beer/wine in even though the Imperial Wizard threw objections to that.

I have to hand it to them, though. I don't think I could have kept quiet through all of that. Felt awful for my buddy's mom because she was an absolute mess all day and to top it all off, the florist literally shows up to finish setup mid-ceremony.

Surprised it all turned out pretty well given the obstacles put in place. Also the last time I ever accept to be in a wedding that isn't one of my brothers.
Yeah I’ve been IN 10 weddings and won’t be in another except for my own if that ever happens.
 
Absolutely not worried about it, bubba. Apparently you missed the thread I started about two years ago titled, “What’s the Point of Marriage?”
 
Eating an early lunch is guaranteed empty calories. Say I eat around 11am, there's a 95% chance I'm hungry again for lunch shortly after noon. I mean, after all, it is 12:30 or 1 or whatever, and still "haven't had lunch." It's like anything before 12pm doesn't even count.
 
I think you can eat pretty much whatever, whenever you want when you run 475 miles a week.

Marcus eat a candy bar at 9, 10, and 11, then eat lunch at noon.

False.

Because I'm not fat, I need to "eat a biscuit." Per UKO.
 
Haha, I feel you. Super popular right now but limiting myself to 8 hours of eating a day sounds awful.

Airybody Keto too right now.
 
* I'm sure there's a way to pull off the double monkstrap dress shoe, but I'm just not sure what that way is. Thoughts?

-generally considered more informal...but you can wear them with a suit if leather/construction is correct. Fine with odd trousers/sport coats or jeans(depending on color and texture of leather).

-would not wear them with your newly purchased tuxedo. Stick to a nice patent leather oxford...or slippers if you're feeling squirrelly.
 
* Ordered a simple pair of black Johnston & Murphy oxfords to go with the tux, and for everyday wear.

* The keto diet is just the Atkins diet repacked with new names and updated bs science. The idea that eating carbs (like fresh fruit) is bad for you, but eating sausage and bacon is healthy is so impossibly stupid, I'm just praying all those Cross Fit idiots die of heart disease as a repurcussion.

* Fasting. Seriously. No f'ing thanks.

* Maybe it's a deep south thing, but down here people call elders by Mr/Mrs + their first name.

Mrs Susan.
Mr Jeff.
etc.

That just sounds so......plantation. I get "Mr Casey" even from some of my f'ing co-workers. Nails, chalkboard, atkot.
 
-Random, trainer was talking to me about intermittent fasting today. Monday marks my annual bike season, buckle down, work gets crazy, health kick. Last year eliminated sugars and dropped alcohol for 14 days. I'm sure fasting is great but I just can't see how that works for me. We eat after 8p nearly every night so basically I'm not eating breakfast until 1p.

Lot of fad diets out there over the years but that one seems the least sustainable.

-Finally kicking into Derby Week mode. Home stuff has kinda kept us from Derby stuff and it really just snuck right up.

-37 is still mid 30's, right? :grimace: 24 about this time of year when I wandered into GYERO.

Oaks: gray slacks, navy coat, white shirt, pink tie, derbys.
Derby: Not sure but light tan slacks, blue coat, might be the start and of course brown gamo loafs. I've really started trending to comfort on Derby these days. Sucker gets looooong.
 
30 when I started reading/posting here. Yikes.

Showed up at that homecoming tailgate in 05 with my buddy Arkansas John...

Pti wearing a gorilla suit
Anth dressed as an Amish guy
80 wearing a baby costume
Sloot and B$ dressed as referees
BBdK dressed as Meatwad
Bernie dressed as a toilet

Seemed completely normal. And seems like yesterday.
 
Meh, im definitely not doing any keto diet but I don’t think it’s about carbs in fresh fruits as much as breads, pastas and highly processed carbs which are terrible for you without question. I’ve definitely stopped eating those as much but haven’t quit.

I eat lots of meat, veggies and avocados, you know a regular ol healthy diet and I’ve never once thought about “losing a few pounds”.

And just FYI, cholesterol isn’t nearly as bad for you as people say. That’s a load of shit brought to you by the drug companies.
 
MTV currently filming a reality show in Pikeville. It’s about time that channel show some classy, enlightened programming.
 
Avengers infinity war...damn.

Golf today, golf tomorrow, golf Thursday. Why we...

Foo Fighters. Bring it
 
I mean, there’s a thin line between the Foo Figthters and Nickleback. Catchy pop hard rock appealing to the uneducated masses.

There, I said it. Needed to be done.

Random, but I just read that same comparison yesterday, and people were saying how Nickleback was hated while Foo Fighters were loved. Dave Grohl can be annoying as hell, it seems as if he proclaimed himself as the arbiter of Rock and Roll, and he decides what is or what isn't good mysic. It also reiterated the fact that while people claim to hate Nickleback, they secretly enjoy them.

FYI, You’re in good company Re: This Take.
See below:
As you all know, I had the good fortune of renting a tuxedo in Metairie, LA last week.

I was addressed as "Mr. Joey," the entire time and found it very off-putting.

(The groom introduced me as "Joey" and it stuck - I do not introduce myself as "Joey" in normal adult settings.)

Well since they’re the 11th best selling musical act of all time, I’d say they have a lot of secret fans.
