Lola at the Coffee House, Cafe 101

I have watched but rarely participated in this thread. Too sopisticated for this redneck with only one shoe. But I thought the quote above was cool.

Y'all ignore Bernie. What he's tryin to say is that we're gittin married. It's a shot gun weddin. I'm pregnant, but just never mind that.

It's at New York City Hall.........that romantic place. Date so far undetermined.

Thank you very much, realjohnboy. I don't deserve the praise......sit on back on the couch, take yore boots off and put those dogs up on the coffee table. Lean back and relax. The fire will warm.

We love you just the way you...............complimentary champagne.....Wassau, standing at the bar, awaits in anticipation of your every whim.

I've gone to saying What on the wrong thread to saying, WOW!!!

Love you both, and thrice...

Here you are Osso........do a little champagne.................smoke a little..............joint'

Ok ok, I'll have to admit it........it's a shot gun weddin........I'm a little pregnant................

Thanks, I'll take those. This is exciting.

So, what're you going to wear? (kidding, kidding).

Is Bernie out of his tree yet? (none of my business).

pause...
checks leg.

and what did you find?

Unlikelyness of your being pregnant, except with perhaps joy...

Here comes the bride singing
Shotgun, shotgun, shotgun, shotgun, shotgun.....yea yeaaaa

Well, well. Had some strong coffee already.

Lola- If you are pregnant, I would suggest that you and Bernie have your honeymoon at the Smithsonian. At the least, make sure that there is a contingent from the super market rags at your nuptials! (I can see the headlines now!)

I don't care why, I just want to know WHEN?

(should I pack my city hall wedding hat? should Walter pack his sailor's hat?)

Will Kicky be the ring-bearer?




(would he look good in short pants?)

I've learnt a wedding dance once in Scotland ...

If it's the Strip the Willow, we can do a dance demo

Orcadian (or Shetland) Strip the Willow
Formation: Couples in a long line down the room, men on the right and ladies on the left as viewed from the band. Couples number from nearest the band.

Music: 6/8 or 9/8 double jigs. E.g. "The Irish Washerwoman", "The Curlew", "The Jig of Slurs" for 6/8 and "Drops of Brandy" for 9/8.

Bars: Description
1-8 1st couple spin RH.
9-... 1st couple work down the opposite line (ie of the people of the opposite sex) turning side person LH, partner RH, next side person LH, ...
When 1st couple reach the bottom, they spin to the end of the phrase, then join the side lines.

A new couple starts every 16 bars.

CONGRATS! To both of you.

What a coincidence. I've chosen "Jig of Slurs" as the theme song to represent our future together.

No, Kicky is Italian. He won't be invited.

Inquirer headlines:

SIXTY YEAR OLD VIRGIN TO WED

That should sell papers as well as:

"SEVERED HEAD LIVES FOR TEN DAYS"

or my all time favorite:

"VEGETARIAN GIVES BIRTH TO GREEN BABY"

You see Osso and Phoenix, miracles do happen. Especially on Easter Sunday in New York.

Date of wedding is undetermined. But I will keep you informed, Beth.

Should it be a June wedding? Wouldn't that be sweet?

All who want to attend are welcome, especially those wearing hats. Dancing would also be quite nice since we can't afford an organist. We need lots of friends for the wedding pictures because our families will be avoiding the entire sordid scene.

Thanks for the well wishes, but cash is preferred.

Actually we were just going to go down to City Hall with the required documents and sign some papers. But Bernie's ex-wife objected. She insisted we at least tell our children before the occasion. It's a good thing she thought of it, because Bernie and I certainly didn't.
