It was so exciting, there were about 8 boxes full of all sorts of high-quality Star Wars, Star Trek, Spider-man, Hulk, Lord of the Rings, Monty Python, Football, Nascar, Astronaut figures.<br \/>\nRick, the guy in charge of the charity campaign had kind of shrugged and been like &#8220;whatever&#8221; when I told him I&#8217;d secured some toys for the auction, but he totally lost his mind when I opened up the boxes and started pulling out Saruman and Frodo figurines. He actually squealed, and then set about writing down Justin&#8217;s full name and address so that he could write him &#8220;the best thank you letter ever&#8221;.<br \/>\n<b>Go charitable donations!<\/b><\/p>\n<p>6) <lj user=\"cluseau\"> called last night to say he and <lj user=\"sanity_clause\"> have been <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mybarong.com\/whatsbarong.html\">shopping around for barongs<\/a> to wear as groom and best man, respectively, at the wedding in two weeks. Now, while I&#8217;m all for making your wedding unique and suited to your own personality and tastes, I have some serious doubts about two dudes, sized 6&#8217;2&#8243; and 6&#8217;7&#8243; respectively, finding ready-to-wear, off-the-rack <a href=\"http:\/\/www.barongatsaya.com\/Scripts\/default.asp\">Filipino wedding gowns<\/a> <i>that will fit them<\/i>.<br \/>\nI mean, dude, I lived with <lj user=\"clodia927\"> for a period of time, and met a good number of her family members, and ain&#8217;t NONE of those folks over six feet tall. Also? I love these guys, and they are manly men, but being manly sometimes comes with an abundance of natural, home-grown HAIR, and my cousin and his friend J. are somewhat hirsute in the chestular area, and barongs that I&#8217;ve seen online appear to me mostly translucent. Hair will show. There will be visible hair. Unless they wear undershirts, and then what&#8217;s the point? You lose all the nice, circulatory properties that make the barong an appealing choice for a summer wedding. Also? Last I heard, they haven&#8217;t bought their rings yet, so there&#8217;s that small detail to deal with as well. Ah, procrastination, it&#8217;s good to know you&#8217;re not just singling me out for your cruel attentions: you seem to plague my entire family.<br \/>\n<b>Go last-minute wedding preparations!<\/b><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kasal.com\/rr\/imgrdgroom\/3-barongs.jpg\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1) Running to catch the train while clutching bongos is challenging, and makes you look like a total idiot.
