Is it always illegal to KILL a woman?

Thus asks this advertisement for a postage-meter. I don't understand the connection -- is he angry because she metered his postage wrong? Or because she refuses to let him buy a postage-meter?Via boingboing.


This post's theme word: extenerate, "disembowel."

Rehearsal dinner

Impressions of the rehearsal dinner from the J. & N. wedding: the food was delicious, and all home cooked, which is both impressive and delicious. Everyone was dressed beautifully, though I didn't take the pictures that M. implored me to take -- there was a full staff of photographers and video-recorders deployed throughout the crowd, capturing every moment for all digital eternity. Cousins performed dances. Sisters performed a violin/piano arrangement of the WoW theme. In accordance with tradition, cousins stole the groom's shoes from off his feet and ransomed them back to him (repeatedly). I don't know how they made the desserts so sweet.

Highlight: a crowd of people in saaris (sp?) dancing in a circle to loud LOUD pop-dance-hiphop music.


This post's theme quote comes from MM.: "Tomorrow's ceremony will be much more... Anglican."
