Apparently, if you're a bride, "STD" has a much different meaning than if you're a single gal: It's a (perhaps ill-chosen) acronym for "Save the Date," those tissue-padded elaborate cards that warn guests to expect an invitation to a wedding. If this video is any indication, the design of these fancy cards is VERY IMPORTANT to brides to be.

This lovely video from the TheMessage-Board features comedian Giulia Rozzi's dramatic reading of frantic posts by brides-to-be discussing STDs. (Example: does putting polar bear stamps on STDs for a summer wedding confuse the guests? Better question: Who caaaaaares?) Whether you've been in the position to flip out over stationery or not, you'll probably like this excellent takedown of obsessive wedding planning. ENJOY!

Enterprising confectioners are trying new ways to keep the cupcake trend afloat. Butch Bakery in New York is ushering in the era of the "manly" cupcake. Their website greets you with a cameo cupcake topper and this text: "Butch it up! These ain't your Grandma's cupcakes, buttercup." Flavors include Rum & Coke, Beer Run and The Old-Fashioned. $16 for a round, $48 for a box. Our brother site Asylum talked to founder David Arrick. (Calgary Herald)

We look to Hollywood for fashion advice, and we might even follow their lead when it comes to a certain band, but would you trust one of these celebrities when it came to marriage advice? Lemondrop and Life & Style want to know!

Honestly, James the Zebra is so adorable, it almost doesn't matter what he's doing -- we'll play along. (The Australian accents in the introduction don't hurt, either ...) As James the Circus Zebra, he's tasked with saving baby animals from cruel circus treatment -- a highly worthy goal, we'd say! (The usual simple rules apply -- use the arrow keys and you're set.)

The Crying Wife is a hilarious site created by a guy named Parker to document the fact that his wife, Hollie, will cry at almost any movie. We know what you're thinking -- a lot of people cry at movies.

But the film doesn't even have to be sad for Hollie to break down in tears -- the site has featured her blubbering at the ridiculous apocalyptic action movie "2010," the Will Ferrell comedy "Elf" and, yes, "Back to the Future Part III." It sounds mean-spirited, but she's actually on board -- as Parker mentions in the site FAQ, in addition to being able to cry at the drop of a hat, she can also laugh at herself.

We asked both husband and wife to step away from the Kleenex and answer a few questions for us -- then we all confessed which movies make us cry.

Lemondrop: Was there some kind of formative childhood trauma that makes your wife cry? Some kind of "Turner and Hooch" moment, maybe?
Parker: Most people ask that, and I understand why. Seeing someone cry the way she does would suggest that she's being hit by some repressed trauma from her childhood. Though that would be interesting, it's simply not the case. Hollie is nothing more than an extreme empathetic movie watcher. Her experiences with movies are on a whole other level than most people. She becomes attached to the characters and intertwined in the story. She forms this emotional connection with characters like Darth Vader and Marty McFly that I can't even comprehend.

You've mastered checking out clips of last week's "Saturday Night Live" on Hulu, but that's not the only way to catch up on a TV show that you've missed. Thanks to a host of new technologies (some of them free), it will soon be possible to watch anything anywhere -- from live TV on your iPhone to YouTube on your television.

The best part? You don't have to be a techie to pull this off. Let Lemondrop show you how to watch TV just about anywhere.

Watch Live TV on Your Smartphone or iPod
The Valups Tivit is a handheld device that lets you stream TV shows to your iPhone (or an iPod Touch or any BlackBerry). Sure, you can already watch YouTube clips on your iPhone, but what makes Tivit special is that it broadcasts live TV. Valups is still figuring out how much the Tivit will cost when it launches this spring (they say between $90 and $120), but the price of the device is all you'll ever have to pay. While AT&T or Verizon will charge you extra each month to use their networks to stream TV shows to your phone, Tivit uses Wi-Fi. That means as long as you're near a hotspot, you can get your live "Lost" fix.
