Project MERCATOR

B.T.Wedding! Just as B.T.West was pronounced "B-T-W-West" & B.T.WesTwo was pronounced "B-T-W-West-Two," B.T.Wedding should be read as "B-T-W-Wedding." That's right, another member of Blue Tree Whacking is joining the ranks of the Marrieds. Of course, much as was the case of The Guy's & The Gal's nuptials, this membership in the Marrieds is a pure formality, as the Blue Tree Whacker & his ladylove have been together for years, including cohabiting for longer than many marriages last. Hip hip! Hooray! Hip hip! Hooray! Hip hip! Hooray! For he is a jolly good fellow, & so say all of us.

The Rebel Black Dot Song of the Day of the Wedding
Less Than Jake, "Pete Jackson Is Getting Married" from Borders & Boundaries (T.L.A.M.)

Commentary: I was tempted to choose Thin Lizzy's "The Boys Are Back in Town," in commemoration of the too-rare gathering of the old gang, but, no, "Pete Jackson Is Getting Married" is the better choice, nay, the best choice, for the R.B.D.S.O.T.D.

"I can smell his cousin's Polo
Mixed with his grandpa's Old Spice,
The Swedish meatballs look so tempting
That his two fat aunts might even fight…

"…The mashed potatoes look so tasty
That his two fats aunts might even—
Nah nah nah nah nah…

"And on that day, what else could I say?
I'd say, 'Here's to you stayin' drunk,
Here's to all your good luck,
You're gonna need it!'"
