The Tailor of Baikonur

[supiluliumas]

At a recent social event involving brotherriparius and his sidekick ornithorhynque (though I'm fully prepared to acknowledge it may be the other way around), you know, stuff happened, but ultimately the important thing in all that fribbity-frab was that I received numerous compliments upon my wardrobe, both on the day of said event (the phrase "you clean up good" came up more

I saw pictures. I prefer you in your regular garb. It has more character.

There's something iconic about your look that transfers everything you need to know about Bob directly into the subconscious.

Normally I would agree, however, they told me that the theme was 'Reservoir Dogs', and that, I could respect. In fact I called dibs on the title of 'Mr. Blonde' and in those pictures... well, at least the ones where we're walking... I tried to channel Michael Madsen. :)

Ah, well, if it was a theme wedding...

Why wasn't anyone covered in blood? Or dressed as a one-eared cop? Sounds like the wedding was a total failure.

I was actually pondering coming as Nice-Guy Eddie but those running suits are actually kind of expensive. Also I offered to cut someone's ear off and I believe one of my cousins was eager to volunteer but it was decided that such a suggestion probably wouldn't get past the Moms Veto.

And, actually it wasn't a wedding at all, so you couldn't say it was a failure as a wedding. :) It was a 'commitment ceremony', as I am told that Lisa can afford neither to be off of her dad's insurance nor to attach Andy's credit rating to her own.

The Method Of Modern Love.

Though I doubt anyone would want to mingle their waters with Andy's credit rating. So I can't blame her.

If I had been there, I would have helped finance a valour jogging suit just to see you in it.

I would have totally worn it. Particularly because before that morning I didn't actually own a suit jacket or tie. In fact I had to learn how to tie a tie from Tie-a-Tie.net.

I've had to check that out myself. I also have a book that tells how to do a variety of household things I've had to check as well.

Finally I've committed it to memory after enough tying.

I'm sure I could probably keep a half-Windsor in memory if I practiced a few times, but that's probably not happening. Thankfully I don't attend too many formal events. :)

Normally the same here, but I've had a few weddings, a few formal events for Cheria's work, and some job interviews over the past few years, so now I can usually do it in a couple of attempts.
