- probably not -- nm - Danedukenuuk Sep 11, 10:38
- All I'm going to say is she should watch out if she has a sexy sister -- nm - crash davis Sep 11, 10:31
- It was a dickhead move. If that's the way he's going to treat her when proposing I can only imagine how he treats her day to day. - Stephen Sep 11, 10:31 2

  - *ding* -- nm - loosilu Sep 11, 10:31
- I trust the dude knew his gf's mindset and sense of humor (shockingly) better than ST does. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 11, 10:29 11
  - I'm fine with what he did. - Krusty Sep 11, 10:33
  - that's just crazy talk. ST always knows what people think better than they do - Guy Sep 11, 10:30 1
    - You are so wrong. - Spawn Sep 11, 10:31
  - she clearly was sobbing tears of laughter. -- nm - loosilu Sep 11, 10:30
  - She cried. -- nm - Spawn Sep 11, 10:30 1
    - its worth noting some women tend to cry more easily and often than others. -- nm - Guy Sep 11, 10:32
  - what does crying have to do with sense of humor? -- nm - TFox Sep 11, 10:29 4
    - are you all really so unfamiliar with the idea of increased delight in contrast with disappointment? -- nm - Guy Sep 11, 10:31
    - [deleted] 2
      - I don't. And maybe they are both crazy. It's hard to tell. -- nm - TFox Sep 11, 10:32 1
        
        [deleted]
- She should answer how she wants. I'm sure she still wants to marry the guy. But the guy had a total cocksmith moment. -- nm - TFox Sep 11, 10:29 1
  - it doesn't give me any hope t hat their marriage will be healthy. -- nm - loosilu Sep 11, 10:29
- I would have said no and later explained why. - Spawn Sep 11, 10:28
- I wouldn't have blamed her for breaking up with him on the spot. -- nm - Reagen Sep 11, 10:28 9
  - that aside, there's a movie or tv show in the last couple years where the guy tied his shoe but I can't remember what it was. -- nm - Max Sep 11, 10:29 4
    - That was different. It was a moment, not *the* moment. -- nm - Spawn Sep 11, 10:32
    - spoils - TFox Sep 11, 10:30 1
      - ah yes. -- nm - Max Sep 11, 10:31
    - Yes, I seem to recall this. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 11, 10:29
  - Me either - but I could see her saying yes, too. Maybe she really likes hot dog stands. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 11, 10:28 1
    - [deleted]
  - I wouldn't have blamed her for pushing him over. -- nm - loosilu Sep 11, 10:28 1
    - maybe a bit of dangling him by the ankles, but it's not quite bad enough for moider. Heheh. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 11, 10:29
ST is no fun with romance -- nm - Hotkiss Sep 11, 10:26 20
- I'm so unfun in romance, I don't even hit my SOs or shove them into walls. - TFox Sep 11, 10:31 2
  - you probably don't even cheat on your wife. -- nm - loosilu Sep 11, 10:33
  - So you're not Shawn Merriman? Interesting. -- nm - Groundskeeper David Sep 11, 10:32
- The high importance of puffed up expectations and fairy tale scenarios is something that men like STers learn over the years - con_carne Sep 11, 10:31
- I *said* "Mmm, butter". - Groundskeeper David Sep 11, 10:29 1
  - *golf clap* -- nm - Spawn Sep 11, 10:30
- In this case, I consider the source. -- nm - Reagen Sep 11, 10:27
- I was joking with the "*swoons*", but I guess I was right. -- nm - Spawn Sep 11, 10:27
- [deleted]
- im with you. women like to be teased a little. -- nm - Guy Sep 11, 10:27
- Not when there's judgin' to be done! -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 11, 10:27 1
  - "Remember you told me to tell you when you were acting rudely and insensitively? Remember that? You're doing it right now." -- nm - Inigo Sep 11, 10:28
- do you honestly think that's romantic? that actually explains a lot. - loosilu Sep 11, 10:26 5
  - I think I would have laughed at the silliness afterward /shrug -- nm - Hotkiss Sep 11, 10:28 1
    - i'd bet good money the woman in that story loves to tell that story -- nm - Guy Sep 11, 10:29
  - submissive. -- nm - lileve Sep 11, 10:28 1
    - Put an "S" on that. -- nm - Spawn Sep 11, 10:29
  - "mindfuck them" oy -- nm - Guy Sep 11, 10:27
- Dick moves ain't romance, baby. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 11, 10:26 1
  - that needs to be incorporated into the ST banner -- nm - prayformojo Sep 11, 10:27
Maybe the hot dog stand was in the stairwell or otherwise very close to them. - Beryllium Sep 11, 10:24 2
- What? -- nm - lileve Sep 11, 10:25
- Churros. -- nm - con_carne Sep 11, 10:25

- $ 1 Bob! - Epiphany Sep 11, 10:23
- 47 -- nm - znufrii Sep 11, 10:22
Huh. Former Pirates pitcher Steve Blass (known among other things for Steve Blass disease) gets two holes in one in the same round of golf - Brian Sep 11, 10:20
The obvious conclusion is that Hotkiss and I should get hitched. *gets down on one knee* - con_carne Sep 11, 10:20 1
- Both knees! *whip crack* -- nm - Hotmasokisst Sep 11, 10:27
Remember in Pretty Woman, when Julia reached for the jewelry and Richard Gere closed the box on her hand? - Dr.Vermin Sep 11, 10:19 9
- Of course the overall lesson of Pretty Woman is rather repellant as it is. -- nm - Reagen Sep 11, 10:22 5
  - but probably no moreso than most any hollywood romance movie. -- nm - znufrii Sep 11, 10:24 1
    - *ding* -- nm - con_carne Sep 11, 10:25
  - whores make great wives? -- nm - Epiphany Sep 11, 10:23 2
    - when rich guys swoop in to save them. -- nm - loosilu Sep 11, 10:25
    - I *knew* you didn't really say "ho". -- nm - Groundskeeper David Sep 11, 10:24
- okay now you are just pot stirring - crazy sir! - Epiphany Sep 11, 10:21 1
  - I shan't let con carne stand alone on this one. - Dr.Vermin Sep 11, 10:24
- I always took that moment as a methaphor for trying to lure a penis into a vagina. - Groundskeeper David Sep 11, 10:21
"Excerpt - page 84: "... JONES, em srtla ZACwIT RAO. uslsmr soar IIEIDI Mae00NAL0, sow" - Groundskeeper David Sep 11, 10:18 1
- This health care bill really needs work. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 11, 10:22
I do wish mandy lane would come back to ST. -- nm - Inigo Sep 11, 10:17 3
- and Kare -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 11, 10:33
- I agree. What happened? -- nm - lileve Sep 11, 10:21 1
  - Not sure. -- nm - Inigo Sep 11, 10:27
When we get a board where Loosi and Spawn agree, is that like crossing the streams? Should I prepare for complete protonic reversal? -- nm - TWuG Sep 11, 10:13 4
- no, it just means that some people are being *that* wrong that the universe is aligned against them. :) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 11, 10:15
- dogs and cats getting married! -- nm - Beaker Sep 11, 10:14 1
  - And box turtles! -- nm - Sen. John Cornyn Sep 11, 10:17
- Uh... I am leaving for lunch now. -- nm - Spawn Sep 11, 10:14
how can you not believe in the Madden Curse by now? -- nm - Guy Sep 11, 10:13 4
- Because the odds of any one player getting injured in the course of a football season is pretty high? -- nm - Reagen Sep 11, 10:14 1
  - And the only people truly cursed in life are Mets fans. -- nm - Groundskeeper David Sep 11, 10:16
- Any truth to the rumor Fitzgerald doesn't want to play because he thinks something will happen to him? -- nm - BB Sep 11, 10:14 1
  - Yup, truth ne told that is why I traded him to ML. - Spawn Sep 11, 10:15
Also, what's important about this story is that the dude's plight reminds us that velcro tennis shoes need to make a comeback. -- nm - Groundskeeper David Sep 11, 10:12 1
- I am jealous of the Bub's Wall*E, Spider-man and Lightning McQueen shoes for this very reason. -- nm - Spawn Sep 11, 10:13
It's simply solved in terms of getting even. - Groundskeeper David Sep 11, 10:05 2
- fantastic! -- nm - Epiphany Sep 11, 10:15
- you, sir, are brilliant. - znufrii Sep 11, 10:05
see, tying the eiffel tower thing into the dear prudence thing? SYNERGY. It's a good thing. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 11, 10:02
speaking of comics, where the hell is my Fables series?! -- nm - Reagen Sep 11, 09:59 8
- Meaning what? Issues are still coming out. The first hardcover collection is out soon. The Cindy mini is out soon. The Peter and Max novel is out - TWuG Sep 11, 10:02 1
  - He's wondering why the pilot isn't further along yet. It's been 9 months since the announcement. -- nm - Groundskeeper David Sep 11, 10:30
- I would imagine we're about 6 months away from its debut. -- nm - Groundskeeper David Sep 11, 10:01 2
  - I just think it's weird that I haven't heard item one about casting. -- nm - Reagen Sep 11, 10:02 1
    - Pre-production on this has to be among the most laborious preps ever. -- nm - Groundskeeper David Sep 11, 10:04
- Why do *you* deserve a series? -- nm - Spawn Sep 11, 10:00 2
  - I've slain many, many trolls. -- nm - Reagen Sep 11, 10:01 1
    - Do your drink with quiet determination? - Spawn Sep 11, 10:03
That guy has to sleep with one eye open now. -- nm - cy you can Drive My Car Sep 11, 09:52 51
- Making anyone walk up and down the Eiffel Tower is cruel enough. Turkey slapping their special moment on top of it is just sadistic. - TFox Sep 11, 10:15 3
  - there's an elevator. -- nm - loosilu Sep 11, 10:15 2
    - i know. my bro and sis talked me into it. (and the story did say "marched her up there", although that doesn't preclude elevators.) -- nm - TFox Sep 11, 10:17 1
      - that's just extra mean. prolonging the torture. -- nm - loosilu Sep 11, 10:19
- On their honeymoon night she's going to put on her hottest lingerie, switch on the porn dance music, put some toys next to the bed, and then - Max Sep 11, 10:10
- Gripping his pillow tight. -- nm - Groundskeeper David Sep 11, 09:57 2
  - *drums* -- nm - Spawn Sep 11, 09:58 1
    - Never mind that noise you heard. -- nm - Groundskeeper David Sep 11, 10:01
- Just read that story. good grief, that ain't funny. -- nm - loosilu Sep 11, 09:53 42
  - aw come one, he could have proposed to her in the Big Brother house and used a twisty as a ring like Natalie's bf did this year. - Jovian Sep 11, 10:01 1
    - errr one = on -- nm - Jovian Sep 11, 10:01
  - it's the textbook definition of "a dick move". -- nm - Reagen Sep 11, 09:54 39
    - ...except that he... did propose. -- nm - con_carne Sep 11, 09:59 35
      - which changes the dickitude of it not one bit. -- nm - Reagen Sep 11, 10:00 3
        
        zactly -- nm - Epiphany Sep 11, 10:03
        
        I mean, who wouldn't want to spend their life with a guy like that? -- nm - loosilu Sep 11, 10:00 1
        
        "Dear Prudence: My husband invited me up to the bedroom, popped a little blue pill.. Then got and the car and drove to my sister's house - TWuG Sep 11, 10:05
      - Still. -- nm - Spawn Sep 11, 10:00
      - after showing her who's BOSS! -- nm - loosilu Sep 11, 09:59 29
        
        IMO, this fellow is showing the ridiculousness of the fact that he has all this control and the pressure is all on him. -- nm - con_carne Sep 11, 10:05 1
        
        seriously, if she was so desperate to get married, she should've just asked *him*. -- nm - znufrii Sep 11, 10:06
        
        good point. it's a total control move. -- nm - Reagen Sep 11, 10:00 25
        
        Control that's given to him by the woman. - con_carne Sep 11, 10:04 19
        
        yes, your highest priority in beginning your engagement should be knocking her down a notch. -- nm - loosilu Sep 11, 10:06 8
        
        ~/ Lowered Expectations /~ -- nm - Beryllium Sep 11, 10:08
        
        "highest priority?" this is a two paragraph snippet of two people we know nothing about. You are reading quite a lot into it (I might be too) -- nm - con_carne Sep 11, 10:07 6
        
        I dunno, I thought the parts where she "burst into tears" while he "snickered" were pretty telling. -- nm - loosilu Sep 11, 10:09 4
        
        he was smirking, not snickering. -- nm - znufrii Sep 11, 10:10 3
        
        Oh wait, that changes everything. -- nm - Spawn Sep 11, 10:11 1
        
        do you realize we're agreeing? -- nm - loosilu Sep 11, 10:13
        
        oh, that's ok then. -- nm - loosilu Sep 11, 10:11
        
        I guess we all are? - Spawn Sep 11, 10:09
        
        propose or don't propose - but don't dick around with it. -- nm - Reagen Sep 11, 10:05 9
        
        Again, the dude proposed. He is not dicking around, he made the move. -- nm - con_carne Sep 11, 10:09 8
        
        He was a cruel person. He took her expectations and knowingly dashed them. Proposing at the hot dog stand does not absolve him of that. -- nm - TWuG Sep 11, 10:11 3
        
        Truth be told, he probably only did that because he realized there would be no tango in Paris, otherwise. -- nm - Spawn Sep 11, 10:12 2
        
        Mmm, butter. -- nm - Groundskeeper David Sep 11, 10:17
        
        *ding* -- nm - Beaker Sep 11, 10:16
        
        ...after dicking around. Imagine if he faked her out every day for a year. - Inigo Sep 11, 10:10
        
        He absolutely did. -- nm - Reagen Sep 11, 10:10
        
        but he did dick around. How much time does it take to get from the top of the eiffel tower to a hot dog stand? -- nm - Beryllium Sep 11, 10:09 1
        
        Too long. - Spawn Sep 11, 10:10
        
        Try to keep up. -- (link) - Spawn Sep 11, 10:02 [Backboard] 3
        
        that portion of the thread looked train-wrecky. -- nm - Reagen Sep 11, 10:03 2
        
        The truth can do that. -- nm - Spawn Sep 11, 10:08 1
        
        sure, but what explains it happening to that thread? -- nm - znufrii Sep 11, 10:13
        
        When she gets pregnant, she should say, "Oh honey, didn't I tell you? It's your brother's." - loosilu Sep 11, 10:02
        
        . . . for the last time. -- nm - pmb Sep 11, 10:00
    - *swoons* -- nm - hotkiss Sep 11, 09:55 2
      - L@ -- nm - lileve Sep 11, 09:56 1
        
        doh L2 -- nm - lileve Sep 11, 09:56
Getting ready to go to lunch where the future in-laws will be meeting for the first time. This should be interesting. -- nm - pmb Sep 11, 09:51 5
- just be yourself -- nm - Beaker Sep 11, 10:17
- wow - good luck with that -- nm - Epiphany Sep 11, 10:01
- Does she have a hot sister? -- nm - BB Sep 11, 09:54
- Big day. Remember to breathe. Good luck! -- nm - con_carne Sep 11, 09:53
- heh. GL. -- nm - Spawn Sep 11, 09:52
*cries* - Spawn Sep 11, 09:51 2
- Only god can hear you crying dear. -- nm - lileve Sep 11, 09:52
