jackelope has popped the question. Did she say yes?

[vibrotronica]

Yes she did! Word on the street (read: via email) is that our own beloved jackelope's proposal of marraige to jillelope was accepted. Come and congratuate the lucky guy!

Now the question is, how will they do it? I say they should...









wait for it....








elope!

[Lord Ashtar]

Out of curiousity, why are you broadcasting their business? Why didn't you wait for one of them to do it?

[vibrotronica]

Because I was trying to be nice.

[Lord Ashtar]

By putting their personal lives out on the internet?

vibrotronica is a good friend of mine; I'm glad he posted this. I'd considered doing it myself, but hadn't quite figured out how to do it. I'm also glad he e-mailed me about this, since I completely missed it.

So: Thanks! We're going to do something relatively low-key for the service (no tuxedos for us fellas, thank you) and then as big a party as we can manage; the absolute minimum guest list we can come up with is about 150 people, nearly one-third of which are my family.

For the honeymoon, we're in total agreement: Head south to Meridian, Mississippi to see the grave and museum of Jimmie Rodgers, then hop on the old US 80 (not Interstate 80) and head west as far as we can go before it's time to come home again.

Just for kicks, here is a photo of me and my wife-to-be at a recent baseball game. She's sort of hiding, as is her habit when a camera comes out, but she gave me permission to post this one.

I've never been happier; thanks again for posting this, vibrotronica.

[Syntropy]

Jackelope, congratulations. I wish you both every happiness.












Even if you are a Yankee fan.....

I dunno, how do jackelopes do it? Standing up?

[Shirley Ujest]

Yankees?

GAH.




Congrats!

[jackelope]

Say wha? I don't recall calling myself a Yankees fan... I'm more a fan of baseball in the abstract, though I'm a Braves/Cardinals fan if anything.

Oh! I get it! The picture! No, that's a just a t-shirt that says "New York" that I happened to be wearing to the game that day. The game was, as I recall, Memphis Redbirds vs. New Orleans Zephyrs.

Everyone's kind wishes are appreciated.

[percypercy]

Congratulations to the future Mr. and Mrs. Lope.

Congrats, you two lovebirds!

Let me give you a free trip to MPSIMS.

[John Carter of Mars]

Congratulations! Cliche', I know, but you two look like a couple; like you belong together.

Head east on 80 instead of west and I'll show y'all around Tuskegee, Smut Eye, Cotton Valley, Dudleyville and other points of high interest.

Best of luck to the both of you.

[Sister Vigilante]

Congrats! Cheers to you both.

[JamesCarroll]

Damn it.

Just when I think the world is going to hell in a hand basket someone does something silly like fall in love.


Thanks. I needed that.

Congratulations!!!

[matt_mcl]

Damn, Jack. Your fiancée is a lucky woman

[ioioio]

Congratulations and best wishes.
