Not quite the same level as the Eiffel Tower thing, but I have a mildly similar story. - Fuzzy Sep 11, 11:18 12
- schweet! -- nm - Epiphany Sep 11, 11:25
- very clever. :) -- nm - Guy Sep 11, 11:23
- haha -- nm - lileve Sep 11, 11:23
- well played -- nm - crash davis Sep 11, 11:21
- That is terrific. -- nm - decline Sep 11, 11:20
- What really happened... - Spawn Sep 11, 11:20 2
  - oh there's the problem. i would never dream of marrying a woman who bawled because she didn't get the diamond earrings she wanted. -- nm - Guy Sep 11, 11:22
  - There should be a joke in there about which ear is the proper ear, prior to dessert -- nm - Beryllium Sep 11, 11:21
- Very nice. - Will Hunting Sep 11, 11:20
- that's not even close to similar, because that is just genius. -- nm - TFox Sep 11, 11:19
- hee. -- nm - b. Sep 11, 11:19
- brilliant. :) - znufrii Sep 11, 11:18

Netflix has Good Night and Good Luck on demand in HD. It's gorgeous. -- nm - Mop Sep 11, 11:11 1
- I'm very disappointed at what little they've been adding content-wise on the Netflix watch now. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 11, 11:14
That pegboard stuff you see in home improvement places...is there any easy way to cut that? - Will Hunting Sep 11, 11:11 9
- a paneling blade on a table saw or circular saw for a smooth edge - Scorpion Sep 11, 11:19
- You might be able to score and break it, but a saw is probably the way to go. - Dr.Vermin Sep 11, 11:15
- you pretty much need to use a saw -- nm - decline Sep 11, 11:14
- the sharpened end of a spoon. -- nm - znufrii Sep 11, 11:13
- Not that I know of. Every time I've seen it done, the edges had to be smoothed a bit afterwards. You might ask them to pre-cut it for you. -- nm - crash davis Sep 11, 11:13
- jig. -- nm - loosilu Sep 11, 11:12 1
  - *does a little riverdance* -- nm - michael flatley, lord of the dance Sep 11, 11:13

- Makes sense (spoilers?) - Mop Sep 11, 11:13
what i learned from ST today is that making someone cry, even briefly, is the worst thing you can do to a person and - Guy Sep 11, 11:00 41
- The worst thing you can be is a liar....Okay fine, yes, the worst thing you can be is a Nazi, but THEN, number two is liar. Nazi 1, Liar 2. -- nm - Cloudy with a Chance of Dano Sep 11, 11:09 3

    - Guy... haven't you diagnosed yourself as Asperger's? One of the key components of that is having trouble with social cues. When someone cries, - loosilu Sep 11, 11:12 13
      - OK, let's assume the guy wasn't trying to make her cry. I think that is the point Guy is trying to make. - Fuzzy Sep 11, 11:28
      - that's odd - I've seen a lot of normal proposals involve the woman crying too - Guy Sep 11, 11:16 10
        
        not ONE of you read my IM - awesome -- nm - Guy Sep 11, 11:20 4
        
        oh no, i read it. the thought that it took you until that post to not get why they weren't happy tears is something. -- nm - b. Sep 11, 11:21 1
        
        especially when the story specifcially said they were not happy tears. -- nm - loosilu Sep 11, 11:22
        
        I absolutely read it. -- nm - loosilu Sep 11, 11:21

      - 41% - what are the chances! - Guy Sep 11, 11:13
    - some people are like that, sure; but if that was the case here, she likely would not have been so upset. -- nm - b. Sep 11, 11:10
    - "Such was her sense of anticipation, she burst into tears " - Will Hunting Sep 11, 11:10

  - the outrage in proportion to the act seemed on par with punching her in the face -- nm - Guy Sep 11, 11:02 3
    - the outrage is in proportion to messin' with the feelings/mind of the person you love enough that you want to, at least in that moment, - b. Sep 11, 11:06
    - Internet outrage is difficult to predict or measure. -- nm - Spawn Sep 11, 11:03 1
      - NO IT'S NOT YOU DOODYHEAD!!! - Cuzzin Todd Sep 11, 11:04

    - well he did break out the Vodka the last time we were together - Epiphany Sep 11, 11:12 7
      - And you were lounging around in a bikini? -- nm - BB Sep 11, 11:14 6
        
        no but he was - I was very confused. - Epiphany Sep 11, 11:15 5

  - "sobbing for no reason" = Oh God, I'm marrying this dude. -- nm - David Sep 11, 11:01 16
    - elaboration inside - TFox Sep 11, 11:04 7
      - And I bet she always gets her way when she cries now. - Spawn Sep 11, 11:10
      - also - if you had waited, she may have thought you did it under pressure from her mom. good call. -- nm - Guy Sep 11, 11:06
      - Actually having the ring should have been clue enough that you already had it planned. -- nm - Jim Sep 11, 11:06 4
        
        further elaboration - TFox Sep 11, 11:09 1

        Pregnant woman....family argument.....best not to take the logic as a given. - Will Hunting Sep 11, 11:08 1

        I appreciate that, but there's other stuff going on, too. My sister's husband is an alcoholic hitting bottom at the moment. - Groundskeeper David Sep 11, 11:11 4
        
        Missed this. - Spawn Sep 11, 11:22

    - Good lord, you're a proposal slut. -- nm - David Sep 11, 11:00 5
      - Proposal sex is teh awesome. -- nm - Spawn Sep 11, 11:00 4
        
        Fiancee breakups, on the other hand, are probably brutal. -- nm - David Sep 11, 11:02 3

- [deleted] 4
  - I said no. -- nm - lileve Sep 11, 11:06
  - "How did it go" means "what was the progression of the proposal", not "how was it taken", in this case. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 11, 10:57 2
    - [deleted] 1
      - niiiice. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 11, 10:58
