Ice Cream giant Ben & Jerry’s has renamed “Chubby Hubby” to “Hubby Hubby,” for the entire month of September to show their support of gay and lesbian marriages in their home state of Vermont.

Today is the first day that Vermont’s same-sex couples are allowed to marry under the new marriage equality law. Ben & Jerry’s is celebrating by driving a wedding themed truck around Vermont giving out free “Hubby Hubby.”

Sitting on the highway in traffic, it occurred to me, this is the perfect time to discuss what song we’d like to play for our first dance.

We had a really tough time coming up with serious suggestions, but we had no trouble at all coming up with a list of highly inappropriate songs. See below:

Single Ladies – Beyonce
Push It – Salt N Pepa
Let’s Get Physical – Olivia Newton John
My Boyfriend’s Back – The Angels
Fat Bottomed Girls – Queen
I Wanna Sex You Up – Color Me Badd
O.P.P – Naughty By Nature
Sex Dwarf – Soft Cell
Under Pressure – David Bowie & Queen
Stormy Weather – Billie Holiday
Fuck and Run – Liz Phair
Easy – The Commodores

“I think that gay marriage is something that should be between a man and a woman.”

A couple years ago, my mother told Irene and I that we could have my grandmother’s engagement ring. I was extremely close to my Buba until she passed away when I was 12 years old. The ring is gorgeous, but more importantly holds great sentimental value.

Today I called to inquire about an insurance policy for the ring. I asked the agent under what circumstances it would *not* be covered. She told me the only circumstances that are not covered are “normal wear and tear and nuclear war.”

I thought she was kidding, but she was serious.
