**Sassy** , he’s making enough cultural references of a great enough variety to make excellent breeding stock. Grab him while you can. [aside]Who the hell is this **Myself** character? He does good work.[/aside] ---

Do you think I would let him go? I don’t know about the breeding part - would it be ok if we just got some fish? 🆒 ---

Wow. This was serious? Here I thought this was just an incredibly imaginative thread and was enjoying the hell out of it! ::applause and rose petals:: RE: Breeding. Even if you’d rather have the fish, it doesn’t hurt to practice. 😉 ---

Hello Kyla, and dear fiends and Dopers, Much like Reality, it’s true and it isn’t. 1. I did in fact propose and Ms. Sassy accepted. Huzzah! 2. But it wasn’t a Tiger, it was an armadillo. 3. It wasn’t at the Temple of WinkWink, it was on the beach at Carmel on the too-gorgeous-for-words central California coast. Now, my Bride, the most wonderful woman in the known Universe, deserves presents!! What would you “give” to my Lady that will insure a happy marriage for us? A basket of starry nights to use when Nature needs to water the flowers? Wild Abandon? Let’s get busy, here, this is for the Alpha Red! My thanks to all but one of you. And I can say unequiviecaly, that there is no one happier (than), Myself ---

You were riding on an armadillo the size of a Winnabego? :eek: And they say things are big in Texas! My gift to you is one Bluebird of Happiness. Take good care of him and guard him well and he will insure your martial bliss until the stars fall from the skies. ---

CONGRADULATIONS TO THE BOTH OF YOU!! You both are wonderful people and for that you deserve all the smiles in the world–and I would like to offer them to you on a silver platter. And while I am at it I would also like to offer more stars, these though are the shooting kind, the kind you can wish upon when you are out in the wilderness, and know that all those wishes will come true (with a smile)!! ---

Eileen! How could you not tell the amsterdopers first!!! Congratulations, oh sassy one! (you too myself…you realise you will be hunted down by the Eurotrash if you don’t look after her & stop her from falling in Dutch streets and such like, don’t you? 😉 ). Presents…hmmm…I only have square tuits myself, if you get extras, I’ll trade you some last minutes for some of the round kind? For myself - anti-rust coating for his armour, so that he can always be her knight in shining armour. For Sassy - a tin opener, you’ll want access to him sometimes! 😉 {{Sassy & myself}} ---

I have no idea what a round tuit is but is this the right moment to be talking about armadillo’s… I mean peccadillo’s ? E – really ? This is wonderful news! I’m so, so happy for you. Who, what, where ??? Honeymoon in Ireland…maybe a little later in the year ??? 😉 Warmest congratulations and always remeber, Rust Never Sleeps XXX p.s. Web designer, huh!..interesting… ---
