The first rule of Toast Club...
I got dragged into going to an Office Baby Shower for a woman I've never met. I'm not sure if this is standard Baby Shower Protocol (this being my first Baby Shower), but this poor, timid woman had to sit at the head of the table and open each gift, determine what is was, decipher who gave it to her, and then deem it "cute." She spoke barely above a whisper, and seem to have difficulty reading all of the gift cards. If she hesitated in declaring the "cuteness" of an item, the other women would start to go "awwww" to keep her in line.
I got the distinct impression that she didn't like or didn't understand any of the gifts given to her. Another woman sat nearby, frantically scribbling a log of each gift and giver, for reasons unknown.
It was a bizarre peek into a strange ritual that I couldn't possibly hope to understand.
But there was cake at the end.
Sometimes when I try to be funny, I just get annoying...
Ok...every time...
EXAMPLE:

Sideburns says: it's a hug in comfortable, sensible pants
Sideburns says: it's a hug that knows that is doesn't have to try so hard anymore
Sideburns says: it's a hug that is at peace with itself
TV 14 Debbie says: shut up
Sideburns says: it's also a hug that knows when to shut up
TV 14 Debbie says: good
Sideburns says: God Bless you " *srhug* " !
Sideburns says: your random typo was the highlight of my day
Sideburns says: that's really sad.
