The Sheila Variations

Yeah, it's a funny site, but it makes me wonder. Why would someone spend so much time trashing other peoples' weddings unless he/she was unhappy being single?

Hmmmm.

Absolutely Genius.. yup, stable is "one word that comes to mind after reading this" unfortunately it's preceded by not.

..without getting unnecessarily bitchy.. but looks like the point of the boa is to hide the dress.

And who is the dude in that 'boa' picture? It's not the same one as in the wedding photo - which manages to capture the proud parents as well.. ahh.

Oh, but the pretentious-ness of the New York Times wedding announcements bring the whole thing to another level. I don't think it's about being single (and who knows - I'm single - - so I might get a gleeful pleasure out of the site because of that) - I think it's about the PHONINESS of some of these announcements.

That's what I find so hilarious.

And the jackass wearing his shades THROUGHOUT the service ... heh heh heh

and the sun is shining in her eyes.

hee hee hee

Oh and Bobby: Sometimes, for us single folk, trashing other people's happiness is the only entertainment we have. Please don't take it away!

Peteb:

The bride wants to "rid the world of stupidity". Well, sweetheart, I think you need to start at home, because that's a stupid thing to say.

The groom isn't wearing shades, those are his specs. I'm undecided if that's better or worse.

I believe the shades referred to are window shades. And the motherfuckers who must squint are the bride and the couple standing in the background in the glare of the sun.

Scott - Oh yes, you're right. On closer viewing (I can't believe I just opened up that site again to peer closer at that stupid picture) I see that those glasses (while kind of silly - in a very very "hip' way) are not sunglasses.

Oh Jaysus.. I foolishly looked up the mediabistro.com site and my reward?

This quote from the groom's brother -

"The two of them are like those superheroes who, when they cross their wrists and join forces, they become stronger," the bridegroom's brother, Neil Fine, said in his toast.

Like superheroes.. ermm.. which superheroes would that be then?

They do look tinted though, Sheila.. in a .. OHMIGOD.. Bono kinda way.. *snigger*

peteb:

Hopefully not the Wonder Twins. Because that would be kind of ... ikky.

My first thoght was Wonder Twins too. Eww, very icky.

I've never looked at wedding notices. Do they have divorce notices? Are they printed as corrections?

Icky in what way? Because they're brother and sister or that:

1) A monkey would be an integral part of the honeymoon.

2) The water/ice form that "Zan" takes is not near as erotic considering he's ice cold.

3) "Zan' keeps wanting "Janya" to take the form of a porcupine 'cus he's "into" pain.

eh... I could go on, but I think y'all were talking about the bro/sis thing

hahahaha

Yes, I was only thinking of the sibling line but now that you have mentioned it - there are many many levels to the ikkiness of the idea.

I do not want an "ice bridge" on my honeymoon, thankyouverymuch.

I was about to say... Wonder Twins? Who...no, I don't want to know.

Ewww.

On the positive side:

Zan could do "Form of: pulsating "waterpic showerhead like" water!" and if Jayna can take the form of any animal why not an human animal?:

"Honey, can you take the form of "Wonder Woman" tonight... uh, no not the cartoon version, more like Lynda Carter in her prime... No, I haven't been staring at her at work!"

Form of pulsating showerhead ... hahahahaha

The following may be a joke that only chicks will get - but your comment made me think that they could kill two birds with one stone, and one of them could take "the form of" a rabbit.

You know ... the Rabbit.

Ehm ... nuff said.

Listen Sheila, I'm married, married, married, and Veiled Conceit is the hipest, grooviest, most hilarious site I've read in a while. It has nothing to do with anything except poking a little fun at pretentious idiots who take themselves far too seriously.

It's absolute genius.

hahahaha

Alex, I think that you, Chrisanne, Mitchell, and I could single-handedly "rid the world of stupidity". In an afternoon.

Sheila

Not that it has anything to do with the way this thread is developing.. AT ALL.. but.. there are updates on Veiled Conceit..

..including this gem from the happy couple's "About us" page -

What does Laurel have to say of her first impression of Jon? "I could tell this was something. We vibrated at the same frequency."

Hmmm.. Maybe that superhero quote was more accurate than we thought..

I swear to Christ if I ever say publicly about some dude I like that "we vibrated at the same frequency", feel free to pummel me about the head and neck with my own Rabbit.

Ordinarily I wouldn't throw stones out of my glass house, but this level of pretentiousness really can't be ignored. I'm guessing this band the guy's is some sort of hopelessly lame outfit - there are approximately two dozen people in his "band picture".

I wonder if Laurel knows that vibrating to the same frequency is not usually a good thing. See the Tacoma Narrows Bridge.

You guys are absolutely cracking me up.

hahahaha

Mike R - with the band-observation, and JFH with a link to the bridge in Tacoma.

I mean ... I'm feelin' the love from you guys. I feel that we are all vibrating at the same frequency.

Well, to be honest, the groom does look like a bit of a pretentious dick. The least he could do is shave, for Christ's sake.

"One word comes to mind after reading this: stable."

I swear, I am so coming to NYC and stalking this Zach person. He is hysterical. Of course sometimes, as with this announcement, the jokes just write themselves.

(Said stalking will, of course, be after many, many drinks with Sheila.)

Lisa -

I am so already looking forward to the night you describe. Please set a date for said stalking and I will be there.

Bobby - hahahahahaha Totally!

Hooray for synchronized vibrations!

I would totally pay cash money to see a band called Synchronized Vibrations.

Of course, I'd pay still more to see Synchronized Vibrations on the Adult Desires channel at Holiday Inn.

Now I'm going to spend the rest of the night wondering just exactly what it is I'd be suffering from if my doctor diagnosed me with a case of the synchronized vibrations.
