Matt -- All these fake holidays created by venders of whatever-sort are *so* full of crap. What I want to know is--what happened to the dowry? The chic’s family is supposed to be giving *us* money. So where did all this “you have to buy a ring worth 2 to 6 months your gross salary” BS come from? Yeah--that’s a great way to start off your fiscal union right? Dump a sixth to half of your income into an object that does nothing relative to financial health. Now--I know what all you female Bonobos are doing right now… I can sense the negative pressure (secondary to your gasping) from here. But c’mon. Cubic Zirconia looks every bit as good as a diamond, and allows financial sanity to prevail. Somewhere along the lines, the whole concept of the dowry went awry, and I’m calling shenanigans. Let’s bring the dowry back! I always wanted a motorcycle…

Update: teh gay is back!
