I’m married IRL, but I must place a virtual marriage request. Now, I’m sure I’ll just be breaking a gozillion hearts by doing this, but oh well. Deal. I would like to be the first to propose virtual marriage to Eutychus. I know I’m not the only one that’s got her eye on Euty, though, and I absolutely will NOT be offended by a rejection. Seeing as how I’m already married IRL, a virtual marriage may constitute bigamy. I don’t know. I don’t know jack about internet law. But Euty, the offer is there. You’re one of the most remarkable people I’ve ever known, and I hope to get the chance to meet you face-to-face someday. ---

Go ahead and propose, evilbeth! I just said I wanted to be the first to propose, and I did leave it wide open for Euty to make up his own mind! (honestly, you’ve got a WAY better shot than me. So do it! :D) ---

evilbeth, _Euty isn’t here yet!_ You haven’t lost _anything!_ For all we know, he might just up & say “Nah. Screw you both. I’m holding out for JDT.” [sub]it’s the New Year’s Eve wine that’s making me eloquent! I swear! I’m not normally that good![/sub] ---

Well, Cristi, it seems he has brought in his own choice to the thread. It appears he has a preference over us. I guess it’s just as well. I’d hate to have to fight you for him! 😉 ---

How dare you take Tambourine Boy before me? He’s mine, I tell you! Mine! But since he’s skiving from us, I’ll just have to propose to, um, my foot! Is that legal or will I have to move to Alabama? ---
