When The Rev was five years old (1976) he listened to the Kiss album, Rock and Roll Over, on his mom's 8-track so much that Rev's mom hid the tape.  To this day The Rev is not sure what happened to the good ol' KISS 8-track.

In the late 80's, The Rev was still driving the family 1979 Ford Crown Victoria LTD station wagon, aka "Country Squire" that was armed with an 8-track player.  That 8-track player was legendary and made The Rev a very popular guy with girls looking for a ride home. 

What girl can resist the charm of an 8-track?

Being 3 years younger ('74) '82 used to 'rock' the Barry Manilow and Beach Boys 8 tracks...Oh Mandy, well you came and you gave without taking, but I sent you away oh Mandy.....

[PBR...]

I used to hate uniforms like RPI's that had black pants with the red shirts.  But now I kind of like them for some reason after seeing W@J on the front page...

Let me throw this question out to the LLPP...

Im in one of my friends weddings and I want to get a good gift.  I was thinking of a few hundred bucks (He had a big expensive wedding and got me a good gift) and a small HD TV for either his small living room (He has a small condo) or his bedroom.  Is a TV not a good wedding gift even with the cash?  What does LLPP think?

Alot of cash goes further than a good amount of cash and some TV.

If he wants a TV, he can buy one with the benji's you just dropped on him.  Plus you will (or should) end up getting it all back should you  get married.

pbr agrees w/ reg although if its on his wedding gift list then go for it...if pbr got married all over again his gift list would be at home depot and a electronics store...

Exactly PBR, for some reason the $300 butter dish on our registry rarely (if ever) gets used.  Don't even get me started on the sugar bowl!

Right, thats why I though a decent amount of cash ($250-$350) plus the TV (Cheapest HD TV $250-$350?) might be good too. (the tv was not on his list but Im pretty sure he and wifey would like it)

Is the big cash gift always ok even if Im in the wedding? (Ive done it before I guess)

cash is king baby...they can use it anyway they want i.e. on honeymoon, buy something they both really want, etc....you cant go wrong w/ cash family members et al will get them their butter dishes, salt/pepper shakers, candlestick holders and such

What does being in the wedding matter if you give alot or a little?  Like Reg said it doesn't matter if you give $200 or $500 as you will be getting the same thing back.  I would actually be pissed if Gro or LD gave me that much bc in the end of the day you have to cut the check back.

Do like $300 or something, that puts you on the "man he really cares" list but isn't too painful for them in a couple years.

Here is a question since we are on weddings.

Say a guest showed up at Regs wedding stag....and gave a nice cash gift...say $200.  If Reg ever goes to the wedding of that person, does he have to multiply that nice gift X2 or just give the standard $75-100 per person?  Or does he give the $200+75-100?

What about if a person gave him money and didn't attend?  Exception to the rule?

Wedding madness!!! Everyone is getting married!

How long past the wedding do you have to count for inflation?

Yea sounds good. 

Just the fact that Im in the wedding and he bought me a gift.  The gift to me might have cost $75-$150.  Does that matter?

You will eventually pay it back.....don't worry about it.

If heard the standard now is $150 too.  Is that right?

Reg Id say you should give him the $200 minimum at least and only a little more for the wife ($25-$75?)

Plus I think it matters how much you can really afford.  I gave my sister a really good cash gift (Im not rich by any means) but I wouldnt expect the same back (I know her and hubby dont make as much and things are tight)
