Hey dolo amber... will you, um... marry me?

[short bus president]

I'm tired of livin' in sin. Whaddaya say?

Please?

Pretty please?

With a cherry on top?

And a shiny diamond and plutonium ring?

;-)

I love you!

[LARED]

1. Wow

A plutonium ring. Where do you get them at? :)

[camero]

2. I now pronounce them man and

:nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke:

[roguevalley]

79. SNIFFLE! I always cry at weddings.

[short bus president]

3. A guy named Rod

Inanimate Carbon Rod.

;-)

[Blue-Jay]

4. NO WAY!

Do it do it do it do it!

This is the best thing I've ever seen at DU. Some Admin should make it "sticky".

[prolesunited]

5. Interesting proposal

Is she supposed to answer you in this thread?

[short bus president]

6. She'd better do it soon

so that if she says "no," I'm still within the narrow window of thread editability.

;-)

[prolesunited]

8. LOL!

That was gonna be my next question. What if she humiliates you in front of all your DU buds?

Well, keeping my fingers crossed and wishing you the best of luck. Are we all invited to the wedding? ;-)

[dolo amber]

7. OHMYFREAKINLORD

You are a LUNATIC! :D

Yes. Yes I will. :loveya:

Behind my smartass exterior, I'm a romantic at heart.

Best. Thread. Ever. (well....since sex-threads were outlawed) Seriously, this makes me very happy. Best of luck to you both.

DEAR ADMINS. MAKE THIS STICKY! (for at least a day. It's too heartwarming for anyone to miss it.)

[dolo amber]

68. You're too sweet...

really. I'm glad we gave you a warm fuzzy. Hell, even I have a warm fuzzy, and I'm about as fuzzy as a bowling ball...;)

:D

[OhioStateProgressive]

12. beautiful

this really is a beautiful thing

I don't know any of you, and I tend to post sardonic pithy posts...

but this is really beautiful:)

Thanks for sharing this moment with us you two!

For further developments, stay tuned to the DU Lounge in the coming months. ;)

[HEyHEY]

32. Can you get the Smugglers to play their wedding?

;-)

[flamingyouth]

38. Possibly!

But they'd have to pay travel expenses, I imagine. Still, a small price to pay for such musical excellence.

[Whitacre D_WI]

27. Holy freakin' crap!

I mean...

Sweet mother of crap!

CONGRATULATIONS! and stuff... wow, I'm sorta... I mean, I figured you'd ask her or she'd ask you, but not... HERE, y'know?

Wow.

Really, best wishes and all that. I'd probably have more coherent congrats to offer were I not a) surprised by an online proposal, and b) sick as a really sick dog.

Wow.

Damn.

I'll send y'all some nice records or something for your nuptials. Or this.

[short bus president]

31. Thank you, thank you

Better make it the bus, though - we're already expecting the Dio box set from another DUer. ;-)

Oh, and do get to feeling better. Sick sucks.

[Whitacre D_WI]

39. I betcha could fit a couple hundred Dio box sets in that bus.

Really. A couple hundred. I shit you not.

[liberalhistorian]

105. Hey, why not at DU?

If you're both regulars, I can't think of a more romantic way to do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Cheswick2.0]

28. congratulations you two

I hope you are very very happy!

[Mandate My Ass]

29. Oh you crazy kids

That is just the most romantic thing ever...

May your happiness last twice as long as the half life of plutonium, 20,000 years. :toast:

[short bus president]

34. Does that mean

that in 10000.1 years I can ditch her? Better get us some separate plots, hon.

;-)

[Mandate My Ass]

42. No way, Jose

You can't ditch your DU babe ever. I'm sooooooooooo happy for you two. You'd better invite me to the wedding because I'm still drooling over NC barbecue and I can't get that good stuff up nawth.

[markbark]

51. The pedant in me points out that....

it all depends on which isotope one is speaking of....

In its most stable form (atomic mass of 244) it has a half-life of around 80,000,000 years. (Here's hoping, you guys! CONGRATS! :) )

The remaining isotopes are listed for no particular reason, just because

P.S. I am SO gonna tease you about the "L" word. (Just kidding...I'm so proud of you for saying it and in public no less.)

[short bus president]

59. thanks deevee

So at some point here, you're gonna give me "the talk" about what happens on the wedding night, right? I'm scared...

:P

[VelmaD]

64. Sure thing...

and don't be scared. It only hurts a little bit and you get used to it. ;-)

[Melsky]

57. How exciting!

Instead of a limo at the wedding, have a short bus! I bet you can rent one.

[prolesunited]

60. I'm sure he wrote that one down

That would be VERY funny.

If I'm not mistaken, I think this would be DU wedding No. 3.
