Flying Spaghetti Monster headgear

You've gotta fight
for your fight
to wear religious headgear of your choice.

Spaghetti strainer legally acceptable

Wedding pomp

Personally, I think it's the 8th Anniversary that should have the large public ceremony (survive the seven-year itch?). THAT is the accomplishment that should be celebrated (that is, if you believe in life-long commitments). Why have a pompous ceremony for lust and blind foolishness - the natural drive to reproduce? That and expensive coffins are grandiose demonstrations of throwaway culture. The marriages get shorter and the weddings get bigger. p.s. if I and my 2nd marriage make it 8 years, I'll then be 60.
