Game 1: Habs @ Bruins (a must win, obvi...)

[Titoschew]

 

And ain't no meltdown like a RMPS meltdown after a first round playoff game because an RMPS meltdown don't stop.

It's one game guys. One game.

 

 
Unless, of course, it's an RMPS meltdown after a second round playoff game against Montreal.  Not just one game, it's a series of four losses all wound into one tidy three period package.  Good news is, all of these losses will fit into TFP's personal schedule, so we have that going for us.  Pretty sure the official in the picture below is French, so we're fucked.
 

 
Win.
 

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

I'm not liking our chances against the "speedy" Habs at 4 on 4 for 60 minutes.

I've learned a lesson. Don't get married, and have all this shit to do to prepare for the wedding and instead watch hockey. I'm sure my fiancé will be happy with that choice

 

[RoyalOrange]

Least favorite team in all of sports, at this point in time.
 
This has the feel of Sox-Yanks '03-'04, except, you know, the Scabs haven't won a title in over 20 years, haven't won their last 2 playoff series against the Bruins, and are a decidedly inferior team.
 
They all kind of act like A-Rod, though. Let's beat the Montreal A-Rods.

Stripes! Congrats!

 

[Rico Guapo]

Win.

 

[BoSoxFink]

Stripes! Congrats!

thanks man! I'm not sure if she knows what she's doing, or getting herself into, but I am a lucky guy.

That said, The best wedding gift I could get would be a Stanley cup for the Bruins.

 

[kenneycb]

Do they make horizontal striped tuxedos?

 

[PedroSpecialK]

yes

LET'S DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!
 
Edit: I still suck at embedding

 

[kenneycb]

Those are shit horizontal tuxes.  I'm talking about an actual pinstriped tuxedo.  But horizontal.

 

[Titoschew]

Stripes! Congrats!

 
Seconded.  Drive away from the venue in a Ridgeline with the "just married" sign on the back.

 

[BoSoxFink]

I've looked, they are not easy to find. I am laughing at my desk at work right now picturing a horizontally striped tuxedo

 

[McDrew]

Great stat from ESPN last night.  The B's and Montreal have played the most games against each other in the NHL, and in any of the 4 major sports.  They've played 170 playoff games against each other.  Familiarity brings contempt, and I fucking hate the Habs.  WIN.

I think an actual, horizontally pinstriped tuxedo would still fit under the definition of a "shit tux."

Did alternate universe Penguin wear a horizontally pinstriped tuxedo?

Not to Stripes it doesn't.  Not to Stripes dammit.

Goodbye, Jordan.  We knew ye too well.

Is it Thursday yet?  I can't wait.

Are you getting married this weekend and are you marrying my cousin?

 

[BoSoxFink]

No the wedding isn't until June, but I have a bunch of crap planned like the tastings and shit to get done this weekend and all the upcoming weekends and even weekdays in general.  Maybe I am still marrying your cousin though.

You, sir, are what we call whipped.

The best part is it still says "The Boston Beer Company" on the box not even an inch above the sticker.

 

[kenneycb]

That picture makes it look like the barrels are about to fall on the beer, which is funny looking.

What kind of tastings?

 

[BoSoxFink]

What kind of tastings?

what kind of tastings do you want it to be?

 

[sachmoney]

Well, I would anticipate all tastings for a wedding would be good, but some are better than others. Beer or food for instance would be great imo. Cake too. So those three. Any idea what you're going to serve?
 
(just trying to pass the time until tomorrow)

infact all of those tastings are occurring and indeed I'm looking forward to that part. Most likely a chicken and beef dish

Hmm... It may be worth considering that whole marriage thing just for that. Anyone have any mail-order catalogues laying about ?

 

[PedroSpecialK]

Chicken and beef?
 

 

[BoSoxFink]

Chicken and beef?
 

chicken OR beef, although that does sound appetizing together....... Hmmmmm

You better have an open bar and not one of those bullshit cash bars.

 

[BoSoxFink]

what do you think I am?

 

[Red Right Ankle]

Stripes?

 

[BoSoxFink]

Stripes?

oh yea, you're right

 

[McDrew]

You better have an open bar and not one of those bullshit cash bars.

Here's the trick.  Make it open wine/beer, but make people pay for shots/mixed drinks.  That way they get drunk, but not too drunk. 
 
/at least, that was how I handled my half post-college, half-teetotaler wedding. 

 

[Dropkick Izzy]

Throw in a cocktail hour (or two) immediately after the ceremony so people can get their booze on and follow that up with the open beer/wine for the remainder of the evening. That way, everyone wins.

 

[TSC]

You guys are cheap prudes.

We did open bar for our wedding. My dad (who drinks like two bud lights a week) got so shitfaced he pissed on a plant in the lobby of The Floridian at Disney, and two of my friends swam in the lobby fountain at Coronado Springs.

No one remembers a wedding they got slightly buzzed at. Everyone remembers the wedding they got so shitfaced they finger banged the 19 year old bridesmaid against the bar in front of her mother (also something that happened at my wedding).

That's what we did. Worked perfectly.

 

[TSC]

Double post.

 

[Dropkick Izzy]

We went back and forth on it, but ultimately went full open. Being in our early 30's we figured our (read: my) friends could probably handle it without some type of indecent exposure incident taking place.

I actually pulled an Andy Dwyer halfway through the reception when I excitedly ran up to my wife and told her how they forgot to charge me for my scotch. Her second thoughts likely began at that exact moment.

It was also amusing looking over the itemized receipt afterwards. "Who the hell ordered an MGD??!"

 

[kenneycb]

Boychuk probably.

Joe McDonald, ladies and gentlemen:
 

This is the fourth time since 2008 these teams have played in the Stanley Cup playoffs, and the Bruins have won the past three series.

[TSC]

Itemized receipt? They charged you per drink?

Our package was $36 per drinking guest. We got married in Disney so I figured that was probably 5 drinks per guest to meet the minimum.

The bartenders were great too. Handing out giant trays of shots. If we spent $2700 for the open bar, we probably drank $4000 worth of drinks. It was totally worth it.

 

[Red Right Ankle]

Even without the public digital penetration?

thanks man! I'm not sure if she knows what she's doing, or getting herself into, but I am a lucky guy.

You need one of these Stripes. My brother got married in July of 2011.  Here's a picture of the cake:
 

 

[Bozo Texino]

I've been to a few weddings.  Not a lot, but a few.  Small sample size and all, but the weddings with cash bars SUCKED.  Boring.  I had to sit around and listen to people talk about their fucking jobs.  The last wedding I went to with an open bar?  I got one of the bridesmaids to get the DJ to play "Panama" by showing him her rack.  Point, open bar.
 
Anyway, destroy these Francophucks.

 

[Ed Hillel]

I'm still trying to get over the fact that 12-year olds can legally get married in this country.
