For Your Delectation, Delight and/or Bemused Incomprehension

....all of which I experienced when I visited these pages.

Thanks to cutecouple and heatherbelles over on TWoP for the first two. The third is something I ran across as part of my job, and I'm interested in other people's response to it. Me, I like the idea of reunions, because the one and only reunion I ever attended was one of the most positive things I've experienced in my life when it comes to my school days. Any thoughts, y'all?

1) Dairy delight at Amazon (I understand it's been a matter of amusement in the New York Times since 2006, but I don't mind being a day late and a dollar short.)

2) Those wacky Welsh

3) But can you hug someone you haven't hugged in years on Facebook?

It's the hanging out part that I think would ultimately keep the reunion concept alive, despite what the youngsters (hey, you're all youngsters to me) said in the Newsweek article. Reunion planners may have to adapt, and change what comprises a reunion, though. or at least how to convince people to participate - it may not be safe to simply assume people will want to come.

I agree--the hanging out was the best part. I don't see how Facebook can replace that--unless you just don't want to see people. Which is a definite possibility for a lot of people, I think--I was very wary of going to my HS reunion, but I ended up forcing myself and it turned out well.

I think adapting the idea of a reunion is good as well--you have to have something that appeals to a lot of people and doesn't cost too much.
