Kathleen Fent Read This Story
Kathleen, I wanted to do this in this most potentially embarassing way
possible, and I figured doing it here and now, in front of a
quarter of a million strangers
was as good a way as any. I love you more then I can describe within
the limits of this tiny little story. We've been together for many years
now, and I've known for most of that time that I wanted to spend my
life with you. Enough rambling. Will you marry me? Update
15 minutes 30 seconds later: Subj: "Yes", message body: "Dork. You made me cry. :)"
Hazah! I'm getting married!
:)
Why don't we make it a new topic. Geeky marriage proposal stories. Or we can even make it simpler call it Geek Love, or Geek in Heat.
Best of luck Taco. Another single geek down.
At the next eco-hypocrisy-meeting, count the private jets used to get to the meeting. Should be interesting to see that
Congrats!!
Now the really tough question, does ThinkGeek do wedding registries?
I'm out of my mind right now, but feel free to leave a message.....
Well, it was your first post. I always wondered what would finally provoke you into it. Now we know. ;-)
To those wondering, user #570 is indeed Kathleen, according to a page at sarcasta.net (that I admittedly can't find right now). It was along the lines of "I have never posted to slashdot, and I never intend to, so anyone claiming to be me is an imposter. If I ever do post, it will be as user #570"
Incidentally, I once posted a suggestion in a story Slashdot's owners running out of money that they could always set up a sarcasta ho cam, linking to the "bountiful bosum" picture. It was modded down savagely as Offtopic, by moderators who clearly had no idea what I was on about. Vindicated! Ah hahahahaha! Now we're all going to be panting after Cmdr Taco's squeeze. You lucky, lucky bastard. ;-)
If you were blocking sigs, you wouldn't have to read this.
