I really don't see how this couple could have made this entire enterprise any more about themselves without making everyone wear masks of their faces

I can imagine a horrible wedding like this in nearly every decade of the 20th century. and an article to correspond.
The '90s iteration would be all hobo style, with baja sweaters, henna tattoos, white guy dreads, tribal drumming, maybe brick-oven pizzas on a grill served beside samosa with weedy chutney
The '70s version would be better. Held on somebody's indoor/outdoor patio, involving crystals, essential oils, and readings of free-verse poetry followed by a bead-making party.

yeah, those would be fun in their own way, though, i imagine.

WHAT YOU CAN DO?
isn't there a german word for presenting ideas that are otherwise reasonable if not for being rendered in off-puttingly smug ways?

should give a TED talk on how to tie a tie
― nice catch cuauhtemoc blanco niño (dayo), Wednesday, 21 December 2011 00:16 (twelve years ago) link
years and years and a few years ago i had a job interview straight outta college but had almost never worn a tie in my life before (yes i led a very sheltered life but not in any glamorous way) anyhow, i was waiting for my roommate to get home b/c i knew that he knew all about that stuff... but the minutes passed, and he never showed up. i ended up going to the 7-11 down the street where i went most nights anyway (insert "markers" reference here) to buy snackfood. the store was owned by a pun alert -thai family- and the guy tried to do it for me, but the end result was so pitiable that i ended up waiting up until 4am or so when my roommate finally came home.
anyway i got the job. it was some ridiculous temp job working for some horrible pr firm.
moral of the story is, yeah you should.

i have to resort to google every time i need to tie a tie

Those are not especially useful statistics, at least for purposes of this argument, as there is extreme variation from the median. There are many lower-income areas of the city in which people could not afford to live absent public housing or rent control laws.
perhaps you don't interact w/ these people but there are *millions* of middle class people in the nyc metro area who don't live in the projects or depend on rent control

Tom Brady's 22,000-square foot palace near Los Angeles is nearing completion, and it will make almost any environmentalist smile.

man there are so many great reasons to live in a mansion: helps prolong murder investigations, dont have to see lousy family so much, can give yr house a name w/o seeming foolish/overreaching

I understand that facile condescension is something you can't resist, but a) I'm speaking of Manhattan and not the NYC metro area, and b) duh.
― C.K. Dexter Holland, Wednesday, 21 December 2011 01:06 (twelve years ago) link
My point was that the figures are impacted substantially by government assistance, among other factors.
― C.K. Dexter Holland, Wednesday, 21 December 2011 01:08 (twelve years ago) link
What iatee said, but also public housing and rent control exist, and people who live in Manhattan and the NYC metro area are using them and surviving. 'Extreme variations from the median' doesn't mean that the median isn't representative of the people who live there.
It's unrepresentative in the sense that if people had to actually pay full value for their housing, their salaries would have to be increased, or they would have to move. Either way, median salary would be (possibly substantially) higher.
― C.K. Dexter Holland, Wednesday, 21 December 2011 01:11 (twelve years ago) link
There are also a fair number of young people in Manhattan whose salaries are subsidized by other sources including parents, under the table income, illegal activity, etc., without which they cold not make it here.
― C.K. Dexter Holland, Wednesday, 21 December 2011 01:14 (twelve years ago) link
Not that that isn't true other places as well, but both the degree and dollar figures involved may be much greater in NYC.

Mr. Hill gave a talk about the importance of personal downsizing, which was largely a talk about his life. Having made a lot of money in Internet businesses, Mr. Hill said, he first bought a big house and car and then got rid of possessions and traveled the world with only two bags, before moving into a trailer in Baja California, Mexico, and then into a cousin's garage in Maui, Hawaii. He found that he was quite happy.
― mookieproof, Wednesday, 21 December 2011 02:43 (twelve years ago) link
Mr. Hill then gave a talk on the importance of identifying the most promising dumpsters within easy walking distance of one's cousin's garage and demonstrated how to prevent a shopping cart wheel from "going crazy".
