Blog Guy, I’m a guy with an unusual problem. My buddies and I live in one of those towns where the men really outnumber the chicks, and we don’t know where to go for brides. There just aren’t any women.
Now, what you actually mean is, no LIVE women, right?
Um, yes, that’s kind of implied, Blog Guy.
Bear with me here. Maybe you’re being a little too picky. There was a fashion show in Barcelona just this week, catering to the bridal needs of the dead.
Isn’t that kind of gross and sick and repulsive?
Try to keep an open mind. Look, I’m not talking about people who have been dead for years, I mean the more recently deceased.
A nice bridal gown, a thick coat of make-up, comb most of the seaweed out of her hair, and you’ve got yourself a good-looking bride you can be proud of.
Is that even LEGAL, Blog Guy?
Yes, in most of the red states it is.
Well, I suppose I could get engaged for a while and see if it works out for us.
About that, Buddy, I don’t recommend any long courtships here. You go much more than a week, you’re gonna have to spend a fortune on scented room spray at the church….

I believe I am better served by squatting the bench firmly on this one…
“The Ouija board spelled out join the Oddly Enough blog network! You moved it! No you did!”
Ok, the model has no head or arms. I think that is game over.. I am tapping out.
Time to polish up the M134, prep for the zombie hoardes.
Nope… no… not at all…
Marrying one of these would constitute proof that the groom HAD no brain!
I can hear the proposal now – “Oh darling, I am drowning in my love for you … I am consumed by the fire of our passion … I’m blown away by the tornado of our love … May I be swallowed by the earth itself if I ever do you wrong … will you be mine until the end?”
How about, “I wouldn’t be caught DEAD in that dress!”
Way to cheer up my Friday afternoon, guys (and gals)! Who needs doughnuts!!
All dead women have seaweed in their hair ? Oh, no, wait, that would explain the prawn joke.
BethyB,
Shouldn’t that be: “will you be mine after the end?”
I wish my bruises were as pretty as those.
The neckline on the second one is terrible, Spinster. The others aren’t too bad I suppose.
Knit nurse babe, you’re just not hanging out with the right make up artists…
I agree Spin… like the dresses, i bet they had nice shoes to match! As for the seaweed and zombie stuff, well.. who the heck WANTS to understand them?
wow…just when you think it couldn’t get worse..
@Spinster… “I’d be cause alive in one….”
That make me chuckle.
Unca, don’t fret.. I will certainly leave some zombies for you to snipe. Get a little red mist of your own!
and if I am going to quote someone I should probably make sure I do it correctly… you actually said:
“I’d be CAUGHT alive in one..”
I hang my head in shame.
Spinster, oh my gosh that sounds hilarious!!
My worst typo? I spelled County…without the o.
E.
You’re right Crowgirl. The kind of makeup artists I hang out with are more interested in covering me in gore.
@Spinster…did your boss find it as humorous as I just did? I sure hope so cause that was good!
@E… LOL
@Knit_Nurse – yeah, I miss them.
I tend to forget my embarassing typos… thats why I got spell check running on my mails before they are sent out…
I am sure something bad musta happened to make me do that…
E, that was funny..
Spin, got any more stories?
Ladies, may I humbly suggest you activate spell checking in your computers? Otherwise, you might be in for some interesting surprises…
On second thought, it’s probably best if you leave the option off, but share with us the results!!
Well considering that my company does a lot of work with county councils, I have my AutoCorrect set to fix that particular mistake…if I ever make it.
Of course, we have a lot of public contracts too. Which is highly embarrasing without the l!!

Oh yeah, Instant messaging threads!!!! LOL, they were fun.. I met a guy at work that way..
E, you feeling better today? Everything ok?
Thanks for asking ifly. Going to the dentist today to have a tooth extracted so I’m not sure if that counts as ‘ok’. But I’m feeling rather positive and upbeat because I’d prefer 10 minutes of terror/pain in the chair than the last 18 months of constant aching agony in my jaw.
