Pistols at dawn! -- nm - prayformojo Jan 1, 21:04
Is it customary to take a portfolio of engagement pictures when one gets engaged? Been seeing a lot of these albums on FB lately. -- nm - Hotkiss me at midnight Jan 1, 20:21 68
- Wow. First day of the year, and already we've achieved the most pointless thread of 2010. Look at this monster. -- nm - Mop Jan 1, 21:07 1
  - It brought up visions of Ajay, so it wasn't completely pointless. -- nm - Dano Jan 1, 21:10
- I do think it's customary (or at least popular) to take an engagment photo for the newspaper. the FB aspect is new. - loosilu Jan 1, 20:39
- i was just going to post i've noticed these on flickr. obnoxious -- nm - mr. squiggles Jan 1, 20:34
- I wouldn't say customary, but popular. We refrained. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 1, 20:25 62
  - Are they popular for any other purposes other than self-congratulatory ones? -- nm - Hotkiss me at midnight Jan 1, 20:26 61
    - The kettle is scr*eam*ing at you right now. -- nm - Reagen Jan 1, 20:59
    - All Facebook is masturbation. - nubby Jan 1, 20:41 1
      - No wonder I have so much chafing. -- nm - Dano Jan 1, 20:42
    - your friends and family like to know these things, I have found. -- nm - loosilu Jan 1, 20:40 16
      - Then I would just e-mail them directly to valued family and friends. Why share 100 versions of the same tender moments - Hotkiss me at midnight Jan 1, 20:46 15
        
        And why does it bother you so much? - Stephen Jan 1, 21:07 3
        
        It doesn't. I just wanted to defend my opinion for once instead of wandering off. -- nm - Hotkiss me at midnight Jan 1, 21:08 2 1
        
        *favourite* -- nm - nubby Jan 1, 21:10
        
        When mop is right, he's right. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 1, 21:09
        
        Because it's faster, easier, less work, and makes you less likely to forget to include someone on the mailing list. - Beryllium Jan 1, 21:00 2
        
        I'm also kind of confused about the concept of them being shared. It's not like they're pushed onto you. -- nm - Qale Jan 1, 21:01 1
        
        OMG IT'S LIKE GUANTANAMO -- nm - Beryllium Jan 1, 21:01
        
        because its easier. -- nm - TFox Jan 1, 20:48
        
        I did not know about the 100 photos part. that is seriously narcissistic. -- nm - loosilu Jan 1, 20:47 6
        
        Then again I don't know what would be a respectable amount. Under 20 would probably be tasteful. -- nm - Hotkiss me at midnight Jan 1, 20:50 4
        
        True answer: depends on how interesting they are, or if some cool shit happened -- nm - con_carne Jan 1, 20:53 3
        
        for me to look at 100 pics they better have stolen the Hope Diamond. -- nm - loosilu Jan 1, 21:09
        
        True. If it's just two people in a park with a bunch of poses with leaves (all too common to the point of spoof), 10 would do it. -- nm - Hotkiss me at midnight Jan 1, 20:55
        
        (I mean, you're posting pics on FB. Entertain me, while you're at it.) -- nm - con_carne Jan 1, 20:54
        
        Or to get what you pay for. -- nm - nubby Jan 1, 20:47
    - Side note: When you are single you will not like your friends getting engaged. When you are going steady, you will envy the shit out of them. -- nm - con_carne Jan 1, 20:38 7
      - Yeah, screw you Colin! - Qale Jan 1, 20:43 3
        
        "That boy loves you in a way he ain't ready for yet." -- nm - nubby Jan 1, 20:46
        
        No, no no. See below. Sorries if it seemed I was speaking for everyone. -- nm - con_carne Jan 1, 20:45 1
        
        Yeah whatever, Screw you Colin again! - Qale Jan 1, 20:57
      - I've always been happy for friends who got engaged except in the rare instances when I thought it was a mistake. (nm) - Dano Jan 1, 20:42
      - I am happy for my friends who get engaged. (truly!) -- nm - loosilu Jan 1, 20:40 1
        
        Likewise. This is merely a sense I am getting for HK, specifically. -- nm - con_carne Jan 1, 20:41
    - I plan on posting a Facebook album when I turn in my V card. -- nm - Dano Jan 1, 20:34 5
      - "Dano is now in a relationship with AJ and it's complicated." -- nm - nubby Jan 1, 20:45 3
        
        (Ajay) -- nm - nubby Jan 1, 20:46 2
        
        He apparently doesn't do that any more. -- nm - Dano Jan 1, 20:48 1
        
        It's not "it's simple", ya know. -- nm - nubby Jan 1, 20:50
      - Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V. -- nm - Qale Jan 1, 20:35
    - Same reason you had pictures taken of yourself upon graduation. - Will Hunting Jan 1, 20:31 21
      - There's a difference between a few photos of a milestone for announcement and an 100-photo album. -- nm - Hotkiss me at midnight Jan 1, 20:35 20
        
        Yeah, qty. Anyone putting an album up like that is guilty of having too much time, but it's not a big deal. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 1, 20:41 7
        
        Except that it probably takes less time to dump the whole set than to go through and pick your dozen favorites. -- nm - TFox Jan 1, 20:54 5
        
        *shrug* I meant just the siting and taking 100 pictures. - Will Hunting Jan 1, 21:04 4
        
        You make an appointment for a photographer to take pictures for 30 minutes, I bet they end up with 100 shots. Easy. -- nm - TFox Jan 1, 21:06 3
        
        I've uploaded many pics on FB. you don't just "dump" them. it takes a long time. -- nm - loosilu Jan 1, 21:08 2
        
        you check them off and hit upload. is it faster to check them all or to go through and check only certain ones you like? - TFox Jan 1, 21:10 1
        
        I would have uploaded 100 p hotos of mexico if it weren't such a pain in the ass. -- nm - loosilu Jan 1, 21:11
        
        If one of my friends did that ... at age 40... I would laugh at them longtime. -- nm - loosilu Jan 1, 20:43
        
        100 for reals? That's out of control. -- nm - loosilu Jan 1, 20:40 5
        
        I don't really see it that way. They hire a photographer to take pictures. Photographer gives them 100 prints on a cd. - TFox Jan 1, 20:44 4
        
        and you don't have to publish them ALL. have some control. -- nm - loosilu Jan 1, 20:45 3
        
        I thought you said there were more than that! -- nm - Mom five minutes later Jan 1, 20:45 2
        
        mom can get a copy of the CD. no one else gives a flying fuck. -- nm - loosilu Jan 1, 20:46 1
        
        such bitter hostility. -- nm - TFox Jan 1, 20:47
        
        i suspect that most of their close friends and family want to see all 100 that the photographer took. - TFox Jan 1, 20:37 5
        
        even for my best friend on Erf, no. -- nm - loosilu Jan 1, 20:44
        
        A photographer for an engagement? - con_carne Jan 1, 20:44 3
        
        In the many albums I've seen, they've gotten a photographer. - Hotkiss me at midnight Jan 1, 20:47
        
        not uncommon. but you publish ONE shot. -- nm - loosilu Jan 1, 20:46
        
        Many photographers offer package deals ... engagement+wedding photos -- nm - Beryllium Jan 1, 20:46
    - You seem rather preoccupied with the concept of looking for attention currently. There is a big difference between such things and healthy pride yanno -- nm - Qale Jan 1, 20:30 1
      - *nodding* -- nm - TFox Jan 1, 20:31
    - pretty much self-congratulatory... - znufrii Jan 1, 20:27
    - congratulatory? I wouldn't describe it as that. Photos are something to remember and cherish in thirty years. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 1, 20:26 1
      - The self-congratulatory part's on us -- nm - Facebook Jan 1, 20:28
- Heck, I only learned "engagement parties" existed earlier this year -- nm - con_carne Jan 1, 20:24
Sherlock Holmes, B+ -- nm - znufrii Jan 1, 20:21 3
- I originally said that, but bumped it up in the A- catagory. I thought some of my complaints were a bit petty. -- nm - Qale Jan 1, 20:31 2
  - I concur... it just missed my Top 10 of the year in fact. -- nm - secretslacker Jan 1, 20:47 1
    - I sadly didn't see enough films to honorably do a top 10. But more movies is my resolution for 2010 so we'll see. -- nm - Qale Jan 1, 21:02
Son of a bee. This whole series is in standard?! -- nm - nubby Jan 1, 20:17 1
- Also... (late S2 non-spoiler) - nubby Jan 1, 20:22

I keep thinking today is Saturday. -- nm - CrankYanker Jan 1, 19:51 1
- Me too. -- nm - nubby Jan 1, 20:05
I want Bradley Cooper's next film to be successful just so that we can stop calling him "The Hangover's Bradley Cooper." - con_carne Jan 1, 19:48 10
- I just feel bad for Thomas Haden Church... the only one in All About Steve not coming off a hit summer comedy -- nm - secretslacker Jan 1, 20:47
- Bradley Cooper's next film is The A-Team, so I agree. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 1, 20:08
- Midnight Meat Train's Bradley Cooper -- nm - TFox Jan 1, 20:02 5
  - This is a Bradley Cooper I'm unfamiliar with. -- nm - Mop Jan 1, 20:12 4
    - I had to drive 30 minutes to see that movie. -- nm - Dano Jan 1, 20:15 3
      - And I thought I was Bradley Cooper hard core when I watched all of Kitchen Confidential on DVD. -- nm - Mop Jan 1, 20:20 2
        
        Have you watched Jack and Bobby? -- nm - Dano Jan 1, 20:21 1
        
        He was in that? -- nm - Mop Jan 1, 21:06
- Kitchen Confidential's Bradley Cooper. -- nm - David Jan 1, 19:54
- better than "Alias's Bradley Cooper" -- nm - Guy Jan 1, 19:49
i second The Ring as best "horror" film of the decade - Guy Jan 1, 19:48 9
- THHE completely whelmed me -- nm - con_carne Jan 1, 19:59
- I must be the only person alive that thought the Ring completely sucked. nm - Jim Jan 1, 19:58 7
  - I'll see your suck and raise you 2 skanks. - Trisha Jan 1, 21:19
  - *nodding* -- nm - TFox Jan 1, 19:59
  - I agree with your IM -- nm - con_carne Jan 1, 19:59 4
    - It was such a drag too, cause I don't get to see horror flicks very often...Carrie hates them. But she wanted to see that one for some reason... - Jim Jan 1, 20:02 2
      - I barely remember a frame of it, besides the famous ones -- nm - con_carne Jan 1, 20:09
      - How many horror movies ask their audience to go "Oh fuck, a puddle!" and not be aiming for humor? - TFox Jan 1, 20:07
    - (Of course, I haven't seen Ringu) -- nm - con_carne Jan 1, 19:59
Yeah....this is going as I expected. - Will Hunting Jan 1, 19:30
screw the haters, I'd give Tebow a shot as an NFL QB. -- nm - Beaker Jan 1, 19:30

        I did a 60" tablecloth for friends' wedding. THat's when I vowed to never do it again. - loosilu Jan 1, 20:42
- ~ Go shorty, make me mittens. We gonna sip Bacardi, then make me mittens... ~ -- nm - 50 Cent Jan 1, 19:29 6
