[sup]Note: We’re exempt from thinksnow’s plea because this has been in the making [for a while](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=41508)[/sup] I virtually proposed to **racinchikki** last night, and [she said yes!](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=41508&pagenumber=2#post816115) **Zoggie** has dibs on maid of honor, but everything else is up for grabs, unless the bride-to-be has any suggestions. ---

Well, I don’t know how Sk8rixtx would feel about being in the wedding party, but if he’s up for it I’d offer him a spot. ---

So, when and where should the wedding be? ---

Anytime after 5:00, but not on a Wednesday or Thursday. (I have to work.) What works for you? ---

I don’t know, should i give up a “Clueless” rerun for your wedding. _ponders_ Eh why not. Hehe. Your wedding is the day before I take my PSATs, or Pee-Stats as I like to call 'em…sigh. ---

Oh, crud, I forgot, this Friday I’ll be up to the city until 9 (8 central). I’m getting some new archery equipment and the only place around here with longbow stuff is up city. Would 9:30 work, or would it be too late? Zogz, don’t worry about the PSATs. They weren’t that hard. (Not that I should talk… I’ve been informed by my classmates that I don’t count in any discussion of PSATs or SATs because I’m a Merit Scholar…) ---

I got the little “good job” letter and had my name announced at a football game and in the newspaper, but didn’t make it to the finals :(. One of my friends since 2nd grade won a scholarship, though. ---

😛 😛 😛 Thank you, you guys, i hope i do well. Everyone says they’re rather simple, so okay. Saturday it is? I’ll make sure to purchase an extremely tacky wedding gift. Or perhaps something extremely unusual… Oh and I’ll be willing to babysit for your first born child. Provided you name it after me…😉 ---

You realize that in purchasing extremely tacky gifts, you’re up against my grandmother in my estimation. The woman once gave me a plaster statue of Elvis that had a halo. (I do NOT like Elvis, by the way.) And another time she gave me used socks… On second thought, the Elvis statue would have been a cool and funny gift had it been from anyone EXCEPT my grandmother. ---

Hmm…wanna have the wedding in SD chat? It’s #straightdope on Undernet, or you can use [Opalcat’s nifty java-based chat thingy](http://fathom.org/teemingmillions/chat.adp) if you don’t have an IRC program. ---

Okay well, tacky might be hard. I’ll go for something exotic and artfully pretentious. You know, I’ll get you an umbrella skeleton and say something like “It’s abstract modern art, and if you don’t get it, you’re a shmuck.” Then, i can chuckle gleefully about having to spend nothing on your wedding gift- no I’m kidding. It won’t be art… ---

OH!! I have the perfect idea. Can Blair be the ring-bear? Its the part he was born to play. And he won’t steal anything, I’m almost positive. ---

I’m alright with Blair being the ring-bear. Would Blair be alright with being paired off with Ja-Heffie as Flower FIsh? (I’m aware that role is generally extended to females, but Ja-Heffie likes to wear dresses, and who am I to restrict him to traditional gender roles? Heck, how do I even know what traditional gender roles ARE for nuclear fish?) ---

Cool beans! A nuclear fish. I know that they will make a cute part of the wedding party. How did you manage to come into possession of a nuclear fish, if you don’t mind me asking…? Also have you guys noticed that the only people posting to this thread are the 3 of us…is this going to be a small “family wedding” type thing, or a gigantic type thing? ---

#straightdope sounds good to me now that my mIRC is working again. As for Ja-Heffie, I got him and his three brothers through 1. living on the Hudson River (2nd most polluted in the nation, but hey we’ll get 'em next year), and 2. having a publishing company/part-time race team both called Nuclear Fish ---

Does Ja-Heffie look anything like Blinky, the 3 eyed fish that inhabits the waters of Springfield Nuclear Power Plant? ---
