    Is there some kind of secret, shitty nickname generator I don't know about where people like this get nicknames?

    Between this and the cast of Jersey Shore, the quality of American nicknames has really gone downhill.

    @Uncle_Billy_Slumming: When I was in school the pervasive influence of my mother got me paired with a mesomorphic Cribbage champ who's father did copper braze-work on period reproduction wood-burning stoves. I know I don't need to say it but nary a wag laid a finger on my precious head during those heady salad days.

    @shostakobitch: Walla. I don't know what my roommate's parents did. One was a very nice boy who would get drunk at the house every night and would bring a drunken girl back with him. If I was awake I was always able to convince him that it wasn't a good idea. If asleep, we would most often find him asleep in a twisted mess with the girl, on the floor of the communal showers. I think he's a politician now.

    Then there was "M," who although he was outwardly pleasant, kept a shotgun sawed down to the nub in his drawer. He and his lovely girlfriend would have marathon sex with the windows closed, and then they'd keep the windows closed, and I would have to cook and read in that environment.

    I'll save the good ones for later ;)

    She's originally from Wisconsin, so I'm guessing her dad got drunk on Point beer, and took a swing at the groom's father right before the Dollar Dance. But they all made up the next day, during the gift opening held in his parents' garage. Oh, it was real nice.

    F you people with the three day weddings. Jesus. It's bad enough to have to give up a whole Saturday to dress up and go to some far-away place and pay $200 for one place-setting of fugly china for a gift. If I have to take time off work for one more 3-day weekend wedding I'm going to lose it. People are unbelievably self-centered with this shit. We had a nice, quiet short garden wedding in our town with no registry. Done.
