Dude, 70....you misspelled his name.  Its Eric

JEEZ!!

In all seriousness, I didn't read it in the same way.  Knowing Adam personally, I know that he doesn't have a racist bone in his body.  One of my friends, Malcolm, who is black would have the same description of the wedding...if he was telling me about it.  He'd say, "Kev, it would be a different kind of experience for you"

[cave2bens]

Try being married in a Jewish ceremony.  They dropped me out of the freaking chair during the chair dance .

Or a ceremony where the processional was the violin solo from Ken Burn's Civil War, the recessional was "Friend of the Devil" by the Dead, a ceremony performed at an outdoor, Farmer's Market by a cleric in full, Scottish regalia, and consumption of thirty gallons of home brew before the wedding even started?  
Guests 30  Groom 0    

Point being?  All weddings, and the entourage, seem to have their quirks and oddities - some more than others  

[JacketsFan]

Or a wedding where the groom goes off to buy a keg and gets lost on the way to his future in laws' beach house where the wedding is set to be, shows up late and finds the bride-in-waiting near tears while an ugly dyke plays the Hawaiian Love Song on a Gibson acoustic guitar and the best man also gets lost and doesn't show up till it's all over but the keg tapping and some poor sap who's been in a bong all night is snatched out of the crowd to be a stand in best man and thirty years later (yep, 30 years ago April 15) everybody looks at the old wedding photos and asks, "Who's that guy? And why is he wearing a Grateful Dead t-shirt at a wedding and holy shyte, the groom looks like Frank Freakin' Zappa with all that long hair and wild ass mustache and  Good Gawd, pop! Is that that really YOU?"

Eric, I went to some African American friends wedding a number of years ago and the bride and groom jumped over a broom during the ceremony. Customs are customs. I know Adam, too and I don't think for a minute he was doing anything other than taking note. The dude's not a racist.

Thanks to all of you for taking note of the expansion of Clan Palmer. May we have bairns galore. An Irish toast to both couples: May you live as long as you want to. May you want to as long as you live.

Doc, Saints, Ben, Bob and all the rest of you - great hearing from you. And yes, ya gotta love miscreants and reprobates.

I've been collecting old vinyl albums for the past year. My man room is almost full. Mrs. JacketsFan bought me a sick turntable and sound system for Christmas and I've filled the walls with Grateful Dead posters, Jimi Hendrix, Van Morrison and all kinds of other hippie era memorabilia. I even picked up a three frame black and white shot of Jerry Garcia taken by the Dead's official photographer when I was in Lake Tahoe last month. My man room is starting to look like Max Yazgur's farm.

Bob, here's one for you:

I don't want no doctor to a stick a needle in me. Why does it hurt when I pee?

Adios, boyos.

[cave2bens]

Back with a vengeance, eh Joe?

Nice quote - feel like I've "been juked with a baby octopus and spewed upon with creamed corn."  We'll skip the Yoohoo bottle line...   Trust some of that vintage vinyl contains big hit singles with a bullet in the charts.  We need to compare some notes on inventories  8)  Something to do during pre-season - jammin' with Jorma.

Pass the Plavix, fellow Cardio-Clubber - "Let It Bleed."

[JacketsFan]

What say you pre-season prognosticators about the state of the conference? Will MSJ go quadraphonic? Will Franklin 's star continue to rise and eclipse all others?

Bob, I'm to the point now where I'm starting to round out my LP collection with as many of the particular artists' vinyls as I can get my grubby paws upon. Definitely we need to compare liner notes. Here's some for you. Test yer trivia:

But he'll always be a problem to his poor and puzzled mother, and he'll always be another one of us. He said he wanted heaven but prayin' was too slow, so he bought a one way ticket on an airline made of snow.

[JacketsFan]

Oops! Nearly forgot. Doc, congrats on the two engagements. May you have sons worthy of your daughters and as stand up as their father in law. Ben, congrats on drafting another player for your O-line.

Sayer, the fish are in a feeding frenzy down here, dude. Get your ass back down here and let's go again. The rest of are welcome to come, too.

JCU should prove an excellent, early season barometer and nice way to christen the new turf, Kevin.

But he'll always be a problem to his poor and puzzled mother, and he'll always be another one of us. He said he wanted heaven but prayin' was too slow, so he bought a one way ticket on an airline made of snow.

"Did you say you saw your good friend flyin' low - flyin' low - dyin' slow?"

Lookin' for Hoyt or the gutteral belching, East German reprobate?  "I like to dream..."  8)

[JacketsFan]

Ah, just for the sake of getting attention, I will be 54 tomorrow. Man, I remember when I had high school teachers half this age and I thought they were old!

Bob, ol' buddy, you win the Golden Chopper award for guessing that one;

But I'll kill him with my bible, and my razor and my gun ...

[cave2bens]

What guess, oh Collector of Virgin Vinyl and AARP solicitations?

I was reading Hesse in Jr English the year the Sparrows disbanded and the canine figurehead of the Dionysian Complex escaped the Bay for relo in LA... Tough year - Sooki Sooki and St Stephen were so diametrically opposed - "in and out of the garden he goes"

BTW, Happy Birthday Young'n!  Another year Ms JacketsFan has spared your life? 

And back to football, before we're sent to the purgatory of assisted living   

[Adam Sayer]

I didn't know stating that going to a wedding with a lot of African American's being a different experience would have gotten me in so much trouble. Big E...relax. It was a very fun time, just a different kind of culture than I am accustomed to as a white kid who grew up in white, suburban America. The guy who got married by the way was Ken Jones. I appologize if I came off as being a bit of a bigot.

[Adam Sayer]

Joe, I'll be in Diego this summer splashing around in the Pacific. I will make it back down to Florida some time...hopefully sooner than later.

My old lady has wedding fever and we're not even engaged.

[SaintsFAN]

Good to hear that she doesn't mind marryin a bigot.   


I'll call you this week about this weekend...btw, its ON like Donkey Kong

[Adam Sayer]

Macke...My stomach still hasn't recovered from Saturday. I left Lawless place at 8, drank a couple riders on my way back, and finally passed out for 2 hours at 10. I went from 6am Saturday morning till 10am Sunday morning without any sleep.

[dc_has_been]

Dang Sayer- I bet your Monday felt great at work .  What are riders by the way? 
I always hated the feeling when I was out and about for a night of festivities & I would notice the sun had rising.  I knew then that my day was ruined & probably the next too.
