I wrote a similar reply before I saw yours.
But I like your last line which I did not think of.

If you had titled this thread:
"Apple's garbage is usually overpriced, and under-priced apples are garbage, usually"
That would be in the 'ballpark' of a literary/rhetorical form known as chiasmus. But, yes, I failed to get 'Internet Explorer' in there, so forget about it. Inverting "Internet Explorer" to "stay-at-home Luddite:" just won't fly.
For a double shot of chiasmus, with this raw material, you're going to have to pony-up to DD or OG, I think.
Two of your ripostes on this thread got #5 from me; your wit's sparkling today !
best, Bill

At least, I think so. Finally found a venue, my vote is for: [^]
Now, I have an idea and I'm curious as to what you think. It's already an urban, hipster wedding, so we were thinking, that in the wee hours, well after dinner service and everyone is pretty drunk: Food trucks will arrive. [^] Served by a man in a lucha libre mask. Am the only one that gets hungry at the end of wedding? Maybe not this one, but there's a hundred hip food trucks, so we would sample them and pick one.

I'm still trying to figure out what a urban, hipster wedding is all about but I'll let that slide.
When it comes to weddings I wish that people would relax and do something simple. Throw up a couple of tents in a backyard, have tons of cold drinks and a big BBQ. Serve everyone at about $10 per person instead of $50+. That way people can relax and enjoy a nice evening of socializing instead of running through the same tired old wedding cliches all evening.
Then again, I'm a man with two daughters - so I might have other motives here.

You'd be surprised at the cost of tent rentals. This venue is probably as much as one!

If you knew, it would be too mainstream and they'd have to change it.

It will not be traditional, no religion involved, probably not going to do a lot of the traditional stuff (throwing bouquet, chicken dance, etc.) The space is essentially an old warehouse painted white. No flower girl, no ring boy, no giant bridal parties or 16+ groomsmen.

The last wedding I went to cost the bride and groom $42.00 per plate for pasta that was cold. There was no alcohol included in that price. For that money they could have treated everyone to a very nice restaurant with appetizers, wine, and a dessert and still saved a considerable amount of money - and had food that was 10x better.
That ticks me off a little bit.
Such a waste.

Was it at a banquet hall? We purposely avoided them for this reason, the food sucks. We had the caterers chosen before anything else. [^] Doing it buffet style, to save money to be able to provide good food. As far as drinks, that will be included. I'll even be brewing my own wine/mead/beer.

When I got married I provided a bottle of red and a bottle of white for every man, woman, and child at the meal, and a bottle of champagne between two.
In hindsight that was probably a little too much, as several (including my own father) got so pissed they were unable to attend the evening do.
Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.
