The Good and Bad of the Web 05/31/24

The internet can be bad. If you’ve ever ordered an article of clothing off the internet (and who hasn't?) you know the rule. It never fits. Ever. Take shoes for instance. I know I’m a size 8 1/2 here in the good old USA. But what size am I in Europe? I think I’m a 41. But it could easily be a 42. Shirts, fuhgeddaboutit. Small, medium large, that - I get. But collar size? Sleeve length? No shot. And our size changes as we get older so what you think you know may very well not be accurate. Which brings us around to Marv and his shirt. Maybe the sizes in China are different. Maybe Marv put on a little weight. But Rachel could have been a little nicer. She could have just gazed at his stomach and not said anything, but that doesn't make for a funny ending.

And then the internet can be extremely good. Like for Sid. Remember Sid? He is the son of Al and Joanne. Sid lived in their basement into his early 30’s working on an idea for a “killer app.” Sid was devastated when Al and Joanne took him off the family phone plan (my kids still haven’t forgiven me). And then one day, as if by miracle, Sid emerges from his room to announce he was a newly minted internet multi-millionaire. Funny how that works. So John and I asked ourselves, what would a guy with untold riches do for a wedding. And since we don’t have to pay for it, we had no problem spending Sid’s money. In this era of celebrity weddings, Peltz-Beckham, RFK Jr and Cheryl Hines, Ben Affleck and…wait a minute, that one just ended. Anyway, we wondered what a pair of healthy, wealthy 30-somethings would do if they could do anything they wanted. In the next couple weeks, you’ll find out.

What’s the most extravagant, over-the-top wedding you’ve ever attended? Write us and if we hear something really crazy, we’ll write about it in the blog. Have a great weekend and we’ll see you next week with two new installments of Sid’s big event.
