No flavor testing this time, although we have a LOT of the chocolate cake available at our joint (just the cake in pieces - no frosting). Seems neither of the two layers (16" diameter cakes) came out properly the first time and poor Susi had to remake them. So, if you have a hankerin' for some chocolate cake; stop by our place.

Oh good, I'd hoped there be an opening for this story ....


The night before the wedding, I was out with some friends at a pub in San Pedro called The Whale and Ale. It wasn't enough that there was the wedding the next day, or that I'd just received a cell call from zapppop telling me his sibling had just gotten married hours earlier, but this entire pub was taken over by a drunken wedding party after their rehearsal dinner for nuptuals the very next day.

At one point, they were obnoxiously belting out the non-words to many brass-filled songs, among them "Sweet Caroline." It was truly awful. Drunken boars with no decent voices in the lot. We were laughing at them, and then at ourselves for all the times we remembered ... when we were young and roudier and would have done the same.

So the next night, at the wedding, when I was pretty drunk myself, the opportunity to belt out the non-words to "Sweet Caroline" was such a personal hoot for me ... and I was laughing so hard, I could barely scream the "Bah-Bah-Bah"s in the most drunken off-key voice I could manage!


Hahahahahahaha! That was a great episode ... and I don't think there was a moment during the evening that I wasn't having classic time o'life!

:cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

(by the way ... were we at high altitude or something? 'Cause I was way more plastered on two glasses of wine than I would usually get ... at either sea level or normal happiness level)

And with all the mo's around, you could be Ur...

never mind.

Glad I could give you something to do :D

And Steve - Yes, we were in the mountains at a decently high altitude.

Heheh, when they were doing the garter bit, The Toddler and I joked that if all the Single men did not include all the Gay men, there would have been like four guys out there vying for the garter.



Um, and just because I caught the garter doesn't mean we leave it to providence ... any potentials spotted or fix-ups arranged will be greatly appreciated, and your aid in making wedding lore come true will be duly noted by the Gods.

I expected to see at least a couple of the guys out competing for the bouquet. Woulda completely freaked out some of the New Jersey contingent :eek:

HAHAHAHAHA, he almost said Uranus.... hehehe

Yeah, me too....
:p

I'm sure there are poloroids somewhere... :D

For some reason, I now have this song by Kinky stuck in my head.
