Hubbers, you can't honestly tell me that you enjoy going from store to store with a group of women that try on 10 things in each store, like everything, and buy <i>nothing</i>. They spent hundreds of hours and a dozens of tanks of gas to visit four cities to finally find suitable dresses for everyone (not counting the bride) for my wedding. It sounds like stand-up comic fodder, but it's true! Whereas I have three suits, several shirts, and too many ties to choose from to attend this upcoming wedding. I know that societal fashion norms make things harder for women, and perhaps this is why the behavior described above baffles my gender so much, but I'll never understand why the same dress can't be used for many different weddings. Rorschach would commit you all.

I see Mickey Mouse about to be bitten on the left arm by a badly coiffed mad Poodle riding on the back of a Sheltie. Its as clear as a bell! Here getting buoys anchored in the harbor is real difficult as it is controlled by the government requiring annual fees. They limit the number of anchorages to a small percentage of demand and there is some good old boy stuff that goes on. Is it controlled there? I read everything before the first picture loaded up.
