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!
:)
I think we should get a Poll for this and see what the Slashdot community thinks! :)
1. Yes
2. No.
3. Marry CowboyNeal instead.
4. etcetcetc.
I submitted this story a week ago, and it was rejected!
The world moves for love. It kneels before it in awe.
Yes, Taco. Yes I will.
Wait a minute... who's Kathleen?

This site may give a slight clue...
You got it right, I'm pretty sure. See the about page.
Kathleen Taco?
And here is a link to a picture of the to-be bride :)

...congratulations, Taco and Kathleen!
Greetings from Switzerland,
Raymond
P.S. - I must admit I'm jealous. Some guys really have it all: UID 1 on Slashdot AND Kathleen as a wife.
P.P.S. - Imagine a beowulf cluster of kids...

I'll help out.
Less than a hundred posts before we displace the next in line for HOF !
Or you can put the "Older Stories" slashbox on the front page, and only read every three days.
I'm posting random pointless posts in an effort to get this story past the "Star Faction" one in the Hall of Fame. The "Star Faction" was famously crap flooded by script spewing fortune messages, check it out.
I think I can actually post from two different machiens at this point.
I hate myslef for starting this, but I won't quit now !
Thank you, sir.
We're only a dozen posts away, if you could only spare a few more . . .
It's going to be so anti-climatic.
Kind of like my whole fucking life.
Well this should be it.
It wasn't worth it, in case anyone is wondering. Kids, you should do your homework and study hard, and try not to grow up like me.
Locking it in !
Can't stop it at tie after all this. I'd only do that if I was an Olympic Official looking for a cheesy way out of getting caught letting French people be judges !
Mod up the parent as insightful.
It's time for love to take over.
Thank you !
It's quite shocking to me that people are still wading through a 2000+ post story and marking things "offtopic". If you've ever had a conversation that didn't vary in topic over the course of an entire week, then you are a depressingly boring person. But that's not surprising if you spend all of your free time on slashdot looking for comments to mod down. In case you haven't noticed, a new topic has emerged. Any comment posted to this story since 3 days ago that *isn't* blatant crapflood filler with the sole purpose of pushing the story up a notch in the Slashdot Hall of Fame is now offtopic. We are on a mission. Whether or not we "congratulate" rob and kathleen in the course of completing our mission is incidental. Modding us down will not slow our progress, but in doing so you show yourself to be against the mission. As pointed out in an earlier post, to be against the mission is to be in favor of terror and assholes like Osama bin Laden. If you love Osama, then mod me down. Mod me down and burn in hell.
