Today's Challenge

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Some of us are so rock'n' roll round here, we do typos as well as drugs. And, no I won't offer your Dad a typo either. :innocent:

Well now that I've finally gotten off the floor from laughing...

Excuse me for thinking it might have been a sexual metaphor rather than a typo :innocent:

Never understood the reason for censoring the Mish. Nobody cared when I mentioned I'd bought one of their singles last weekend, and even when I posted a large image of it on "Currently Listening...", no response. ;)

Somebody wasn't paying attention to my "Garden of Delight and Dance on Glass are crap"* posts then. I assure you that notice was taken ;)

No alcohol!!!??? Beejeezus.

Okay then, if genocide is a bit much, I'd suggest enjoying Friday, then taking a LSD tab shortly before the Sunday shindig starts. Everything will be nice and normal (ie. dull as f**k) while you're showering the bride, then hey presto...playtime, 'as you live and breathe' :notworthy: :notworthy: - I love that saying.

You can keep the cookie, a nice curry will suffice.

Such a younger version of Miss Haversham (or maybe Estelle) in public forum but such a sweetie in Yahoo reality. Yes I appreciate that 'yahoo' and 'reality' don't quite equate but you get my drift.

Sh!t! I've just been nice to you. Sorry.

Oh no. I've just had a horrible thought. What if there are children at the shower? Oh dear. In that case, I won't need Pot Noodle to induce vomiting.

This simply won't do.

Today's Challenge: The bachelorette party is on the Friday, and the shower is on the Sunday. Your job is to think of a plausible excuse that will allow me to go to the Friday party while preventing me from attending the Sunday shower. Whoever comes up with the best excuse gets a cookie.

To elaborate on the Upset Stomach suggestion, you could make sure you eat something at the Bachelorette party that "gives you the s**t for 3 days". Whether it actually does or not doesn't matter, as long as it's believable. Then, after unnecessarily indepth descriptions to fellow shower-goers over the weekend, with any luck you'll be told you really don't sound well enough to go and wouldn't it be beter to give it a miss? If they're such dull people, they'll probably be relieved at your absence. And if that doesn't work, just bring up the subject again at the bridal shower before suddenly leaving in a hurry with your buttocks clenched together :lol:

Hmm, after reading that back, I don't think I'd want to know me if I were somebody else!

Hmm, A McHeartland meet doesn't seem as appealing as it once did.As for the Bridal shower, tell them you think you've won the lottery and your having your ticket checked.
