Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Chicago Bob, As I sat to write these vows I was overcome with emotion, or perhaps it was gas, but the point is, I was feeling a little bloated. First things first, let's all just acknowledge that I am a sexy bitch and you are lucky as hell to spend the rest of your days with me. People, am I right? OK, now that that is out of the way, You, you are...wait, I had the stuff about you here somewhere (fumble with paper)....I swear, I really wrote some topnotch schmaltz. Well, um, off the top of my head: A is for Awesome, which you are; B is for Bob, your name, duh; C is for Chicago, where there is a lovely condo for sale if anyone is interested;.........

Good luck and interview~ma for Beth, surgery~ma for Kathy, and happy return travels to Lise.

This vow writing stuff is much more fun than my work.

hahahahhahahahah SUPERB! We have totally been talking about working the "People, am I right?" into the vows/toasts.

I guess my work is done!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Joe says: "This sign was posted in a gas station bathroom in Cambridge MD, and it has given me nightmares. I just can not decipher it. figured that if anyone can help me with the odd cryptic message Boing Boing can. Please help."

I don't get it either.

Swouncing

So, last year ( DavidS "Natter 64: Yes, we still need you" Dec 13, 2009 7:37:17 am PST ), when I just referenced BtVS with my "not tiny Jewish not Santa", you asked me if I have something to tell you. I laughed at your Jewish-mommy-ness.

If you ask me again this year, um, my answer will be a bit different (though, um, how shall I put it, not less with the Jewish-mommy part, in a sense).

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

There will actually be a bit of 60s country music star glamor going on with my hair if all goes as planned.

The higher the hair, the closer to God.

msbelle should totes start a new career in vow writing. Which she could couple with Vortex's genius for angry-yet-polite letters to ass-hats.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.

Nilly! Wow, congratulations!
