I’m so very, very, amazingly, terribly, truly sorry that I didn’t respond sooner. But hey, this is wonderful! I mean, I knew you two were getting engaged, but I didn’t know how. Brian, that’s possibly the most creative way to pop the question that I’ve seen. Make sure to get that ball encased in glass and set prominently in your house, so that you’ll always remember that amazing day - not that you need the ball to remember. So Brian, Libby, congratulations!
“Sherlock Holmes once said that once you have eliminated the
impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be
the answer. I, however, do not like to eliminate the impossible.
The impossible often has a kind of integrity to it that the merely improbable lacks.”

Congratulations! I’m really happy for the both of you. Too bad you didn’t get the proposal on videotape. That would be something to show your kids someday.
pssstt…hey Drain…when’s the bachelorette party?

It certainly was, but I doubt he’ll be staying around. Wonder if he noticed that you posted here too?
Thanks for the offer of the seeing-eye goats, Sucellus. I believe we’ll be having our reception at the Holiday Inn ballroom, in between the fraternity reunion and the nun convention.
Yea, but apparently you didn’t send 'em a picture. Drain Bead and Satan look too normal to have an internet wedding; they do not meet the minimum requirements of dorkiness. I give you, Exhibit A:
I thinks they oughta be hitched too, but I don’t want them to get into any trouble so I put together a story from what I could find. (-Get it straight, people. We all need to tell the same story if anybody asks.)
“They really met during an “art happening” at the National Bowling Hall of Fame. Drain was traveling with a group of Future Accountants of America, viewing the exhibit “great accountants in bowling”. Satan is the lead guitarist in the band “Stinky Pinky and the Banana Peels”, whose tour van got lost on the western-Indiana leg of their Indiana tour. They both got spit on by Knuckles the Angry Clown, and knew they were right for each other when S offered DB a pocket tissue.”
Sorry about the delay, but leaving a digital trail isn’t quite as easy as them anit-government patriots say it is. - MC
I already congratulated Libby & Satan, but since this thread will likely be saved for posterity, I want it down here that I am so very pleased for both of you. Mazal tov.
StoryTyler, me thinks you might be giving an impression you don’t intend. Your sig line “not everybody does it - but everybody should” appears in the George Michael song “I Want Your Sex”.
Okay, uh, , -I had a little problem with the INS. Had to make a couple changes for saftey’s sake. Before you gripe, understand that I was caught in a jam and so was pressed for time; I had to pick from a few records that were already in dispute.
Satan, your new name is Salichhhar Beytamiat. You are Pakistani goatherder seeking political asylum.
Drain, sorry, but your new name is Tarimelayatra Hebrilameba Poriyativama Patel Masseoud. Thegood news is, you now have a Master’s in microbiology from Stanford!
I’m playing the India/Pakistan peace connection to Oprah; I figure a little positive publicity couldn’t hurt. Watch the mail for new IDs. Other than that, everything’s normal. - MC
