I’ve been allowed the special honor of announcing the Sealed-With-A-Ring, Real and True, Honest-to-Goodness, Official Engagment of my friends **auntie em** and **SkipMagic**. _applause_ And to think it all began in [The Pit](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=122170). 😃 Good Luck! I guess I’m not going to get my toaster. ---

And the wrong spelling of Engagement is unintentional and reflects my excitement rather than any opinion of en **Gag** ment. 😉 ---

You’re a peach. Who knows if this would have happened without you (which means I can perhaps blame you later)? And hey, if you just feel like _buying_ a toaster, I think [this one’s nice](http://a1412.g.akamai.net/7/1412/243/0070/ww2.williams-sonoma.com/wsecimgs/images/products/203033111/I/A/s1299908-1l.jpg)! 😉 ---

::_takes a bow_:: Tank ewe, tank ewe. And for my next act, I will try to reconcile **auntie em** to the fact that the only reason my house was clean when she stopped by was _because_ she stopped by. It’s a crap-shoot from here on. 😃 Special accolades should go to **Homebrew** for his part in this matter. If it hadn’t been for his competition in that original pit thread, I wouldn’t be standing here yelling, “I won! I won! _Now_ what do I do with her?” 😉 ---
