Hemos Gets Hitched

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the we-love-you-dude dept.

Today Jeffrey "Hemos" Bates got married to Adrienne Lane. We've posted several pictures for those of you who are visually inclined. I'd also recommend everyone send hemos@slashdot.org a congratulatory email to help celebrate this great occasion (and mainly because we wanna see how much mail we can get into his box). Now we're off to the reception ;) (BTW, thanks to CowboyNeal for getting these up asap. The photographers were me, Mandrake and Chris DiBona). Update: 06/25 03:01 by CT : The reception was nice. Keep those email to hemos coming.

    I'm wondering how Taco managed to attend the affair this afternoon AND post the OpenGL article at noon today.

    Taco: "Excuse me, I have to, uh, go to the bathroom. . ."

    Hemos: "But it's almost time for the ceremony! And why do you need your laptop? Rob? Rob! Get back here!"

  3. a fitting poem for Hemos by tomax · · Score: 5

    This one seems to fit the situation:

    "When two people are under the influence of the most violent, most insane,
    most delusive, and most transient of passions, they are required to swear
    that they will remain in that exalted, abnormal, and exhausting condition
    continuously until death do them part."

    - George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) "Getting Married" (1908)

    "...this man, Jeff, 'Hemos' Bates, to be your lawfully wedded husband?"

    Adrienne: "Bates? I thought you said your name was 'Jeff Gates'?!!

    Hemos (wipes brow nervously): "No, sweetie, you must have mis-heard me that night..."

    Adrienne: "You mean, you're not related to the Microsoft guy?"

    Hemos: "No."

    Adrienne: "You mean you're not worth billions?"

    Hemos: "Well, no - but I help run Slashdot.org (Rob & company smile and wave), and I've got a bunch of VA Linux stock!"

    Adrienne: "How much is 'a bunch', and what's the closing price as of yesterday?"

    (somebody runs off to find a paper for the quote while Jeff tells her how many shares he has)

    Adrienne (after checking the number and calling her financial planner): "Oh, okay... I guess we'll keep going. But I want a house on a lake, too!"

    Congrats, Hemos. Welcome to the marriage club. Just remember the words, "Yes dear", and it'll be a terrific life for both of you!
