All kinds of crazy in MN

rkroer

So was surfing the local news website on my lunch and happened to see this gem:"Mothers of Bride, Groom Brawl Over Wedding Plans" Apparently both of the mothers (MOB and MOG) have gotten into fisty-cuffs before, but this time punches were actually thrown over the upcoming wedding.  The reason: they were arguing over who is paying for what and "paperwork".  Don't know what paperwork they're talking about, but I am appalled and entertained at the same time!Good grief, I'd be so mortified if that were my mother, I think I'd just scrap the big wedding and elope.  Keep that crazy contained, please!

FYI, it's fisticuffs.  Not fisty-cuffs.

You know, I think I'd have paid good money to see my mom and my MIL brawl one another. That would provide endless entertainment to me.

I can see our moms' doing that...

I want some fisty-cuffs. This sounds like an invention that will expediate my drinking.  

Brie2010

Fisticuffs is one of my favorite words.  I'm defensive about it.

alixzafiris

Are fisty-cuffs some new fashion trend I've yet to hear of?

rkroer

meh, oh well -- I've never seen fisticuffs written before so stabbed at a guess on how it's spelled!  I can laugh because this isn't my family, and would actually have loved to see footage of the actual fight....the one thing missing on You Tube!

Alix, can your mom fight with her pinky up and handling her tea?

alixzafiris

I'm thinking she could, with a chocolate digestive biscuit in her other hand and if she got smacked she'd totally go "OI!".

What, fisticuffs!(name that musical)Oliver, Oliver, Never before has a boy wanted more!

Well then, I REALLY wanna see Alix's mom fight. Brie, fisticuffs is an awesome word. Agreed.

What is... Oliver? (Thank you, google!)

alixzafiris

Where do you think I learned my table manners from?And while we're on the subject, I think I have issues - it type with the pinky of my right hand up until I need it for a key. INTERVENTION!

rkroer

good grief, I now notice I've got "actually" and "actual" in the same sentence....I turn myself in to the grammar/spelling/sentence structure police.  They can even use fisty-cuffs if they'd like.

DUDES. Hav eyou ever heard the song Oliver about the Humanzee?

Sucrets-I want you to know I didn't need Google.  Extra point for me, please.  Thanks, teach.
