There are few memes out there that make me cackle with the same irrepressible glee I feel for the #coolbandsmadeuncool trend on Twitter. I’m sure there will be plenty of roundups out there; I’m sure we can all agree that there is nothing quite like a well placed pun for propelling stuff around the internet. I’ve got to join in regardless because compiling a list of favorites may be the only way to spare my friends any further overtweeting.

Highlights include:

• Corrective Sole
• Stone Temple Stewardesses
• Alice in Remarkably Comfortable Slacks
• Radioshackhead
• They Might Be People of Average Height
• The Meh Meh Mehs
• Beige Flag
• The Silk Chiffon Underground / The Velvet Mainstream
• The Homeopathic Remedy
• 3/4 Foot Nails
• Tepid Tepid Tepidity
• El Vez Costello
• The Conformity to Established Mindsets & Behaviors
• Fleetwood PC
• 10,000 People Being Treated for Mental Illness
• And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Breadcrumbs/Leftovers/Laundered Funds
• The Whom
• Walk DMC
• Meth Lab for Cutie/ Death Cab for Fat Guy*
• Leaving Pumpkins Undisturbed
• AB/CD
• Won’tco
• Iron & Wine Coolers
• The Gender Pistols/Celibate Rifles
• A Tribe Called Sitting on the Couch and Not Going Anywhere

* I really can’t put my finger on what made this one so laugh-out-loud hysterical, but even glancing back to it is making me giggle.

As you can see on our website, the wedding is only 18 days away. Things are coming together, but there are naturally things to wrap up.

#1, Ceremony Details

It seems we’re not too concerned with the frills here so we’re putting it off by default. But one of us needs to buckle down and put pen to paper so it won’t literally run as "Do you?" "Uh-huh."

#2, Flowers/Centerpieces

I gotta say, on the one hand I couldn’t be less interested. On the other, I want to be completely involved in some sculptural arrangement that not only exemplifies all that one might expect from flowers but also perfect integration with the space and the general tone of our invitations etc so far.

One victory: I have decided that the stuff in the center should be white or light blue.

Chances are, the details will be decided after I get back to Maryland. At this rate my bouquet  is likely to involve walking down the street, finding a florist, grabbing a handful, and coming back to the hotel, and that’s ok too.

#3, Friday Night

The last thing I want to do is slight anyone who expected to join us the night before The Big Day. Fortunately enough, they should all be in the hotel or nearby by this point so it shouldn’t be too hard to organize (provided we sort out the room shift).

#4, Hair

I’m not sure a French twist is really in my immediate future anymore. I’m looking forward to working something out advice-wise when I get it trimmed. But the real question is, should I color it…? (Given the sorry state of my finances I’m guessing I’ll skip that too, by default.)
