The cake made of sparkly balls that required an advanced degree in physics may have been my favorite decorative yet edible item. I think I’ll post a review of the wedding.

You maximize your groove, and then everything seems downhill. Unless you just keep playing Parliment, I suppose. My ish with Parliment is that, where do you go from there?

So was the wedding. Sean, you definitely wore the suit, though Jen kinda outshone you, IMHO. Hope you're having a splendid honeymoon. The mix was awesome! So was the wedding.

Their song 'Johnny Appleseed' comes with my highest recommendations. Very hipnotic, even if that trainwreck of a show 'John from Cincinatti' used it as a theme song.

When you're back from the celebrations, might you find 5 minutes to write Gov Schwarzenegger, asking him to sign AB 43, the gender-neutral marriage act? Non-gay Californians who support equal rights for LGBT folks need to speak up. Email Arnold: http://gov.ca.gov/interact#email Congrats!

One would hope that the proto-generic cliche romantic stuff has either been excised or was relegated to the very last. One way to make a good happy crowd to leave, play sappy-pop romantic ballads; and at this point in time that would include a certain Dolly Parton original.

Artist: Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros
Song: Mondo Bongo

I was patrolling a Pachinko
Nude noodle model parlor in the Nefarious zone
Hanging out with insects under ducting
The C.I.A was on the phone
Well, such is life

Latino caribo, mondo bongo
The flower looks good in your hair
Latino caribo, mondo bongo
Nobody said it was fair, oh

Latino caribo, mondo bongo
The flower looks good in your hair
Latino caribo, mondo bongo
Nobody said it was fair

Latino caribo, mondo bongo
The flower looks good in your hair
Latino caribo, mondo bongo
Nobody said it was fair

For the Zapatistas I’ll rob my sisters
Of all the curtain and lace

Down at the bauxite mine
You get your own uniform
Have lunchtimes off
Take a monorail to your home

Checkmate, baby
God bless us and our home
Where ever we roam
Now take us home, flaquito

Latino caribo, mondo bongo
The flower looks good in your hair
Latino caribo, mondo bongo
Nobody said it was fair
Latino caribo, mondo bongo
The flower looks good in your hair
Latino caribo, mondo bongo
Nobody said it was fair
