I would totally buy that for someone who liked baking. Except this couple. I don’t even know them and I hope they never own this item in their whole lives.
Uh, shouldn’t that be twits?
As I think about it some more, depending on the exact level of insultatude that you had in mind, twats could be correct. But in my opinion twats are rather a good thing.
It’s an insult to Brits.
If there is an ‘open bar’ I honestly suggest that after that announcement, that they multiply the expected liquor-per-person invited to have on hand by three.
Screw Jon Tapper… if you’re going to That wedding, you’ll need those glasses filled, to the top, and often.

It’s a hipster friend taking the piss. He’s making a crack about just how much fun it is to hang out with a guy who sings opera to himself as he walks down the street.
Do you think she knows that he’s gay?
She seems lovely, but twat fits him perfectly.
No it is not, but haters gotta hate.
I’m from Fort Wayne, and I’m leaning toward the “Carmel is insufferable” camp.
My God. It’s like a PG Wodehouse novel came to life.
Anyone else noticed that while they enjoy reading PG Wodehouse, they don’t seem to have stumbled on the fact that he wrote like, 100 books making fun of people like them?
I retract my previous empathy. At least for him. She may be indeed an awesome person, but he undoubtedly breaks the Insufferably Pretentious Twat scale past 100.
Yes. It’s more of a Northern Maryland/Annapolis thing than in my neck of the woods, but there are a great many new-money or usta’be-money folks who read Wodehouse like it’s “The Preppy Handbook.” (Also sarcastic, but don’t tell that to any of the people I went to High School with.)
P.S. Their dinner plates are $110 each. Not per setting, per plate. I’m not sure these two are prepared to conduct housekeeping on an ecclesiastical salary. Not even on TWO ecclesiastical salaries. :smack:
Answer me honestly… have you ever spent any time here or are you just jumping on the everyone in Indiana hates Carmel except for the people who live there bandwagon?
I have spent a lot of time in Fort Wayne… I won’t say anything else.
I’ve lived in seven cities in Indiana and I’ll take Carmel any day (Bloomington running a close second).
Come on down for the 4th of July and you can enjoy our parade where the big fire truck is one of the highlights, and also the celebrities like the news crew from one of Indy’s stations.
Anyway… it appears that the bride actually graduated from Westfield HS which is the next suburb north of Carmel and until fairly recently was a pretty rural farming community.
Over the next few days, they continued reading the book together. Near the conclusion, Mr. Peters said, there is a great description of anal sex. “We both got impatient so I thumbed to the end of the book, read it and fucked her up the jacksie,” he said.
Good old Wodehouse, never lets you down…
“The coat has all the small details I could have wanted, my favorite being a small thread behind the buttonhole to hold the boutonniere, and a gorgeous cutaway.”
“a gorgeous cutaway”? Is there any doubt?
Yes, because they had to pick something from Replacements Ltd, meaning it’s not available anymore. And to each their own, but the pattern they picked is so frou-frou!
The possibility of his being gay (not that there’s anything wrong with that… seriously) is discussed in some of the comments below the article. One commenter has this to say:
[QUOTE=Cheesesteakhero]
I manage weddings on this level at a fancy Virginia hotel and I can almost guarantee this is true, but also that they both know it. We do “this wedding” all the time. She is most likely gay as well, or damaged/asexual. He’s a narcissist/ sociopath who needs to marry and have an heir to get his hands on the family money and to stay in their good graces. She gets to keep her head in the books and the clouds and have a safe marriage with no yucky sex. They will have a kid right away, maybe two, and stay married for a good long while, cause, why not?

Ach, nevermind.
He can’t be gay. He’s Catholic.
I have spent plenty of time in Carmel. Time I will never get back. I also know lots of people from synagogue who live there. Some are nice, but they are to a person clueless about the fact that there are people in the world who make less than $40,000 a year. My husband and I have a combined income of about $48,000, and we live close enough to Speedway to find the race a large inconvenience. And gasp in an apartment building. They think we are dirt-poor.
I like Ft. Wayne.
Lived in Bloomington for many, many years. I like it, but it has its own insufferable moments.
I understand… we make considerably more but some people here don’t understand we are well above average. I will say that I’ve found many of those same people to be the most generous people I’ve ever met… a few raising literally millions for charity each year.
If you regret your time spent here please come up for PorchFest in Sept. Musicians playing on front porches. Bring a chair or a blanket and take it all in. Totally free. You can google it if you want.
I don’t want to turn this into a Ft Wayne bashing thread, but I’ve traveled all over the country for youth sports, and there is only one place that I stayed that had the schedule for the shuttle to the strip bars posted at the front desk. Don’t make me tell you the story of the blood stained sheet I found in the morning after sleeping on it (also in Ft. Wayne… different hotel/trip… and not my blood) If you want to raise kids… looking at school ratings (scale of 1 to 10) Ft. Wayne’s lowest is a 1… Carmel’s is a 9.
Yes, there are lots of hipsters there just like any college town, but you have to admit that the food and culture as well as the beauty of the campus ans surrounding lakes and forests are pretty damn nice.
Back on topic though… the couple being discussed are pompous asses.
What I’m finding insufferable are the mocking, belittling, innuendo-laden, disrespectful, meanspirited, and nasty comments directed towards this seemingly friendly and loving couple.
