This weekend was filled with much joy and laughter because of Crazy and SweetPea's wedding. At the rehearsal dinner Friday night, Turg gave Crazy this book as a gag:
The book was passed around and around at the rehearsal dinner, the reception and the day-after party. Big hit. Women all knew it was a fantasy (it's porn afterall) and (most of) the men found humor in it, particularly since they knew just how far fetched a lot of the stuff in it was... like, "Have another piece of cake. I don't like you looking so thin." See, fantasy.
Which brings me to the things that one should never say to a woman at a wedding reception (or any gathering with food, for that matter). Let me just say, like MS, I don't eat like a girl. I eat well, and healthily, but definitely not like a girl. I'll eat a steak over chicken anyday. I can outeat almost anyone at sushi or a crabhouse. And I love cheese - lots of cheese.
All of the following statements were made by one guy, my friend Lisa's husband, Gary, with whom I play softball (Lisa happens to play and is the manager of this team).
- (after spreading some brie on bread) "Is that sanctioned by team management? Should you be eating all those CARBS and FAT?"
- (after getting my plate from the dinner buffet) "Did you leave any food out there?"
- (general comment at the end of the evening) "I'm just looking out of the team. I don't want all this food to slow you down."

Eh. I like Gary. And his wife kept saying that he was just trying to get attention... which I think is true. But I told him that we were instituting a weigh in... where the cutoff is 5 lbs less than whatever he is.
Interestingly enough, at the same moment as this was happening MS and I were talking about how much sushi and crab we have personally witnessed you put down overr the years - we really don't know where you put it all!
I'm glad you were able to roll with it and make a witty comeback. But really, that was an incredibly inappropriate and rude thing for him to say. His wife should have told him to cool it rather than make excuses.
