Well, that certainly improved my mood

After the complete fail of this morning, I just had something happen that sent me into hysterical giggles. While working on digitizing some imagery for a project that has recently risen from the dead, I'm also doing some research on invitation etiquette during the Victorian era for a story I'm thinking of writing.

Of course, the big etiquette event during this period was weddings. It seems like everything has some sort of etiquette attached to it. I was scrolling through when somethign caught my eye.

Gentlemen's Dress
DAY WEDDINGS

Groom and best man, Prince Albert or cutaway coat, light trousers, black vest. Ushers, same coat and vest, dark trousers.

The emphasis is mine, because, while they were talking about this when saying "Prince Albert," my mind hit upon a slightly different meaning. (NSFW WARNING)

I have to admit, I'm still laughing. I have the sense of humor of a 13 year old.

I definitely went, "WAT."
You're not the only one who still loves potty humor. :p

At least I'm in good company.

Seriously, though, talk about a shift in meaning over time...

Aww... and here I almost thought you were gonna do the ISS/Shuttle porn we were talking about yesterday as Discovery docked. :D

Glad to see you are doing better then this morning.

Ahaha, my mind went right there, too. ^_____^

Well, of course the groom should wear a Prince Albert ... how else will they attach the leash?

That was painful to look at and painful to remember looking at. FYI.

What I want to know is, how is the bride even standing, with her waist as tiny as it is?

This is the Victorian era. Being able to breath was not an essential function.

Y'know, the sad thing is that I read your post and immediately thought about morning dress (the term for formal men's attire worn for events before sundown/6pm) without thinking anything of it (I actually own a morning suit).

Then I saw what you underlined and immediately thought of the willy-piercing.

Never knew that a double-breasted frock coat was called a Prince Albert...learn something new every day.

But women passed out because they were delicate. ;P

Actually, when I saw your emphasis I had the exact same thought. XD

Also I almost read 'day weddings' as 'gay weddings'. *cough*

[tsaiko.livejournal.com]

Given what I read in the article about piercings, having a Prince Albert make a lot more sense that way. XD

Completely randomly, I've been wondering for ages where the image in your 'have you hugged your penis' icon came from?

[tsaiko.livejournal.com]

It's from a yaoi manga called Chintsubu. The plot is, I kid you not, that there's this guy who has a crush on one of his classmates. He falls into a coma and his spirit possesses the penis of the classmate he liked. So now poor classmate has a talking, possessed penis. There's also a couple of guys who switch pensises and their start talking as well.

The manga is on crack. Which of course means I had to make an icon from it.
