Just Married .... Mark Wright, and his girlfriend...

Cool. Now where is his new wife?; 9/26/12, 1:25 PM
Tyrone Slothrop said...: Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band came out forty-five years ago, in 1967. Forty-five years earlier, in 1922, the top hit was April Showers by Al Jolson. Is that depressing? It depresses me.; 9/26/12, 1:33 PM

Wince said...: All these years I've been wandering around the world,
Wondering how come nobody told me
All that I was looking for was somebody
Who looked like you.

I've got a feeling that keeps me on my toes
Oh yeah, Oh yeah.
I've got a feeling, I think that everybody knows.
Oh yeah, Oh yeah, Oh yeah.
Yeah! Yeah! I've got a feeling. Yeah!

Ev'rybody had a hard year.
Ev'rybody had a good time.
Ev'rybody had a wet dream.
Ev'rybody saw the sunshine.
Oh yeah, Oh yeah. Oh Yeah.
Ev'rybody had a good year.
Ev'rybody let their hair down.
Ev'rybody pulled their socks up. (yeah.)
Ev'rybody put their foot down.
Oh yeah. Yeah! WOOOOHOO!; 9/26/12, 1:46 PM

Anonymous said...: That's really horrible. It looks like middle-aged people imitating the Beatles *at the time* - like in a Benny Hill or Jonathan Ross way - except these people are a generation or two younger, but the effect is the same.

They didn't even pick any of the more interesting outfits from those times - and there were a ton of them. The Beatles themselves didn't look good in those Sgt. Pepper situations.; 9/26/12, 1:51 PM
Anonymous said...: BTW, I know most of them are younger than middle aged, but they are all so fat compared to the actual Beatles, that that's the effect.; 9/26/12, 1:53 PM
Shouting Thomas said...: Andy Williams dies at age 84!

Doesn't that make you feel older than you were just moments before when you didn't know that?; 9/26/12, 2:02 PM
normanh said...: How are you sure he is not a Muslim? What proves that to you that is more convincing than all the other evidence that says other wise?; 9/26/12, 2:04 PM
William said...: Ironically they played nothing but Madonna songs at the wedding....The outfits look like fun. I would rather wear a Nehru jacket than a rented tux.; 9/26/12, 2:05 PM

Not really, but, when the next one of the Beach Boys goes, yeah, prob'ly will.; 9/26/12, 2:46 PM
Known Unknown said...: They'll look back at this in 25 years and wonder why the hell they didn't have a regular wedding.; 9/26/12, 3:06 PM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: The Beatles and Bob Dylan...

You had to be there ;); 9/26/12, 3:38 PM
LoafingOaf said...: Is this post also one of those open topic deals? The wedding pics made me smile (even though I don't like the Sgt Peppers album), but I'm still kinda shocked after just reading a new article on Slate from law professor Eric Posner. He's saying America values freedom of speech too much if it includes a right to mock the Islamic ideology.

Not suprising, it's always the "best and brightest" that sell out their countries to facism.; 9/26/12, 4:25 PM

McTriumph said...: So this couple got married with a Beatles theme, was the wedding conducted in an elevator?
When one is over 16, never do anything you that is refered to as "cute", it's a code word for "bad taste".; 9/26/12, 4:31 PM
Carol said...: Was Andy Williams kind of an Eastern thing? I had a roommate in college from Boston who was all stoked on him and John Davidson. Me, I was all Hendrix and Aretha. Quite the clash of cultures.; 9/26/12, 5:02 PM
McTriumph said...: carol
Andy Williams was known for his Christmas thing. My mother loved his weekly TV show. He had a beautiful voice.

But, I'm with you on the Hendrix, Cream, etc. and of course Mo-Town.

God, I wish we could edit post or maybe I should just find my eye glasses.; 9/26/12, 5:11 PM
Shouting Thomas said...: Why do you consider that a clash of cultures?

I like just about all kinds of music.; 9/26/12, 5:17 PM
KCFleming said...: Looks like they had a ball.

Goo goo gajoob.; 9/26/12, 5:44 PM
McTriumph said...: I don't think it's a clash of cultures, it all the same culture. I just never bought any Andy williams albums.; 9/26/12, 5:47 PM
KCFleming said...: I hope the wedding guests didn't get served a dish of yellow matter custard dripping from a dead dog's eye.; 9/26/12, 5:54 PM
Bob_R said...: I was going to criticize, but I got married in 1979, and what I wore was only slightly less ridiculous than those outfits. At least they know it's a joke.; 9/26/12, 5:56 PM

KCFleming said...: Someone should have arrived as zombie John Lennon.

All we are saying
Is give death a chance.; 9/26/12, 5:59 PM
Chip S. said...: Terence Mann: Oh, my God.

Ray Kinsella: What?

Terence Mann: You're from the sixties.

Ray Kinsella: [bashfully] Well, yeah, actually...

Terence Mann: [spraying at Ray with a insecticide sprayer] Out! Back to the sixties! Back! There's no place for you here in the future! Get back while you still can!; 9/26/12, 6:12 PM

What's the deal with all of the winking on Drudge?

It's who's doing the winking that is the theme.; 9/26/12, 6:45 PM
