[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

The status is NOT quo.
Not tacky, Ginger, especially if you're buying something nicer. I have mixed feelings about registries. I know they aren't very personal, but I was very glad to have one when I got married because it meant that I didn't get (too many) duplicate or bizarre gifts.
In terms of weird things showing up on the registry, I know that strange things happen to the brain when someone hands you one of those scanner things. Suddenly you want to scan EVERYTHING. If they did it all online, it might be a similar phenomenon.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I feel this about most registries, but, then again, I usually don't use them. If I don't know you well enough to have a gift idea? Then I'm probably not going to your wedding.
Sure, but you don't know what colors they're using in their kitchen or the china set they want to put together or what they already have.
That registry sounds wacky, Ginger. My only thoughts are: a)Sister and her DH tried to include inexpensive items so maybe they're doing this badly? b) She said "here, Honey, you pick some stuff." (not that all guys would be bad at this or that these are necessarily guy things -- but it seems possible)

Why I love my friends...
me: speaking of darling the Fedex driver was here. She just kills me with her boyish charm. Is it bad form to ask your Fedex driver out?
Heather: nope, its a porno flick
but do it anyway

Now tagless for your comfort.
I didn't register for candlesticks, but I got five pairs.
I blame Bull Durham.

when my friends got married their favorite gift was not on the registry. The groom's family got together and bought all kinds of household items that you might not think of- mops, scrubbies, cleansers, plastic wrap and foil... they assembled a near life-sized bride and groom out of the component parts. The bride's hair was the mop head, the groom's face was... I forget, something round. Anyway it was really cool.

It's that the registry reads like a shopping list. You start expecting them to include detergent and toilet paper.
Heh. When doing the registry at Target, my friend handed a scanner to her to-be-husband, and let him go....they ended up with things like "a 12 pack of diet coke" on the registry.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

We got a Peeps-making kit! Which I still have. Um.
