Yeah, I'm 31. The doctors/nurses aren't particularly impressed with my age and health combo.

He's a great guy. The only reason I'd say no is for selfish reasons. I'm not particularly good at giving speeches or organizing things for a bunch of people. I just don't really want to be in that spot but it's not about me. I'll just suck it up and do my best. He's always been a good friend to me.

If he's just a meh friend of you really don't want to you could always say you have some health problems and can't commit to something like that right now.

I recommend a consultation with dr. spaceman for some help.

Yes, you do. A good speech is really quite a great deal of fun if you hit it right. There was a post around here to a pretty good one, as I recall it. I've given a few of these and they take some work -- you need the right mix of humor and seriousness -- but played well, a good one can bring down the house. Start working on it now!

Villian,

Remember that all eyes will be on you and it will be recorded so try not to look/sound nervous. People will most likely critique your speech so make sure it's a good one.

Villian,

When somebody asks you to do **** like that, you kinda gotta do it unless you have a super great reason for not being able to. It's probably a pretty big deal for him to ask you and should be considered an honor.

Not quite the same situation, but I've turned down an "honor" like that before -- when a pair of friends asked me to be godfather to their newborn son. I declined because they were generally irresponsible people (both drug addicts plus she already had a daughter who was cared for by someone else). I've got zero knowledge of what being a godfather entails, but I would take it as my responsibility to be on the short list of people to take care of the kid if anything ever happened to either of them. Sadly, last I heard, they had lost the kid to foster care, which I could've never let happen if I'd accepted the honor. And since I feel like I'd be unqualified to accept the responsilities that being a godfather entails, I turned it down.

As far as I know, being a best man will not saddle you with a child for the rest of your life, so might as well do it.

I'm at Disney World. Some pervy looking 20ish yo kid just blatantly filmed my wife's tits for ~3 seconds while he crossed us on a bridge. Anyone do anything there other than ignore him?

No way. His buddies died face down in the mud so that kid has the freedom to film any tits he wants.

You're wife should be wearing much baggier tops if she doesn't want people filming her tits. Sounds like she was asking for it.

Cocaine, pornography and reminiscing over past glories are strict no-nos if you want to be a successful gambler. That said, they’re invaluable if you’re looking to get high, hard or allow yourself a brief respite from your mind-numbingly boring current existence, so to each his own.

Dr. David Greenfield, a director at the Center for Internet Technology Addiction at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine, told Vice that watching your favorite porn star plugging various orifices with various cylindrical objects activates the limbic parts of the brain. But this cuts off the brain’s prefrontal cortex, where decisions involving moral choices are made.

Greenfield told the Christian Post that when your prefrontal is disengaged, you “don’t have access or full control over [your] judgment,” causing you to do dumb things, like taking a hit on 19. So as tempting as it is to keep that PornTube browser tab open while you’re gambling online, this would be a good time to zip it. If it helps, use this handy mantra: bank now, spank later.
