Ksan has a problem... So quite aside from my usual blog matter I'm running around metaphorically the places I frequent trying to find some golden nuggets of advice from my friends on the web. As blogdom is a friendly, little place I thought I'd put out a beacon here too.
I'm to be the best man at my best mate's wedding in just over two weeks time and I'm on the lookout for some really good advice and/or jokes to fill up what might otherwise be a couple of the most uncomfortable moments of my life!
I've got dirt on him, real secret stuff but its not the funny kind and more the blackmail sort - as its his wedding it wouldn't do to go mentioning it if you know what I mean!
I've got one possible gag in mind - a bit of waffle about being unaccustomed to public speaking and a short explanation about having jotted down a few notes to help myself *produces piece of paper and proceeds to read out that weeks shopping list "carrots, peas, baked-beans..."*
That 'might' (long shot?) work for a laugh, and then I can always try and shoe-horn in a bit about the two reasons we're all gathered there for - the food and the drink! But aside from that I'm gonna struggle I'm sure.
HEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!
So... I would really appreciate any words of experience and advice anyone has to offer. The speech bit is daunting enough, but I'm pretty certain I can put myself into the right mindset to cope with that, I'm just short on where to go with content.
If anyone can provide a few good pointers I'd appreciate it ![]()

Keep it short, snappy and funny.
Basically you're gonna be sourrounded by people who want some free food and to get razzed later and get it on with a bridesmaid...
