As a fellow Texan who hates the Cowboys, I will help in any way possible. You need a groomsman, I’m there. You need somebody to take pictures. I’m there. You need somebody to supply the beer. I’ll steal JimB’s wallet and I’m there. All you need do is ask. ---

The baby will not cry . . . s/he will be so happy to be living with us that s/he will only smile. 2. I’ll visit my parents, she can visit hers if she so chooses. 3. As you don’t know our virtual financial situation, you don’t know that this is, in fact, inpossible. But if it were possible, the electricity bill and kids’ shoes comes before tires to my virtual car. 4. The dog. ---

Can I be a bridesmaid? I want an excuse to buy that hot topic dress! They are overpriced, but it’s such a pretty dress. And then I could wear my fishnets under it. 🙂 ---

**hypergirl** , although this is overstepping my bounds a bit, I think Palmyra said somewhere earlier that by virtue of asking you could be one. MC: Yes . . . this is another reason I asked her to marry me:) BTW, I have a picture of that dress on a disk, so anyone who wants to look at it, get on AIM or email me and I’ll send it along. Palmyra just sent it to me . . . and I literally drooled. ---

**Ag** , don’t strain very much when you lift my wallet, it’s so light, it’ll go flying across the room. Although, there is usually enough in it for enormous quanities of beer. **iampunha** , listen kid, I’m the vitual father of the bride. You’ve got me to deal with FOREVER!! If you want to be a Redskins fan, you just better keep that part of your life very quiet around me. Now if you want to be, maybe, a Vikings fan, I can live with that. A Rams fan, well maybe? I even lived with a Giants fan for 12 years and didn’t kick her out. So, you just better re-think your position here, kid. Jim ---

(originally posted to Doobieous/Silver Fire) As you people know, we suffered from a scarcity of dancers for the bachelor/bachelorette parties. Might I propose partygoers ask for the terpsichorean talents of other Dopers ? Nominations? ---

::ahem:: By the looks of your answers on the survey, it looks like you guys have some serious issues to work out between you. Therefore, I deem you completely ready to be virtually married! After all, if we fix all the problems in pre-virtual-marriage counseling, what in the world are you going to fight about after you get hitched? BTW, did you find a house? Did you even look at the one I suggested? ---

Hey Jim. If it makes you feel any better, you’re welcome to all the beer you can drink. Nothing like a drunken virtual father to give away the bride. Moments like that are why God invented video recorders. ---

I looked at the house. If we’re going to have any virtual kids, we probably want to put a virtual dark rug in there. And get a virtual swingset and a couple of virtual bicycles. Jester, my friend . . . you want best man, you got it. ---

[hijack] > [@](#): > > hypergirl posted: Hot Topic, which is basically a goth store. Hmmm… maybe it differs from location to location, but the Hot Topic in the mall nearest me, is more of a punk store. That’s why it’s my 2nd favorite store. Plus it has all those bitchin’ punk compilations (thats where I got all my Punk-o-rama CD’s), and an excellent CD rack. A lot of good stuff there.[/hijack] ---
