• Ehhhhh... I can imagine what the cow in the foreground is thinking: 'Hey, don't look at me, I have nothing to do with this'. And it's obvious she will find out. Hope he makes it, or when he proposes with a less humongous ring, she'll be dissappointed... Yeah, I'm quite crabby today. Besides, sending all that money to the girl with the big credit card bill left me too exahusted even to click.
• No. The one time in my life I wanted to get married I was close to broke.I bought a cheap $200 dollar ring and flew to Venice to propose. It didn't work out but it wasn't because I didn't have a snazzy ring. If you don't have enough game to make your true love happy enough to say yes without a big rock, then you need to go back to relationship school or find another true love.
• Kinda sweet, but also kinda not. Meh. I gave him two clicks. Good luck to 'em.
• And is it just me, or does that ring look like a diamond being cleaned by two electric toothbrushes?
• Trust me when I say that Josh can afford a ring for his girlfriend. Just not the ring that she or he wants. If the ring is a make or break detail, he's got bigger problems than needing a few extra bucks.
• Another Debeers sucker? Admittedly I don't know what my engagement ring cost, and don't care. I know #2 was on a student's income, so not much, but it shouldn't matter. And as it turned out, his mother later gave him her mother's engagement ring, to give me. I don't know the monetary value but I far prefer tradition over money.
• I gave him a few clicks -- no harm done. I hope it works out for him. I lucked out and married a woman who hates diamonds (too much innocent blood and corruption involved in the diamond industry). Instead of a diamond, I had a friend of ours who is a jeweler custom make an engagement ring out of silver in the shape of a cat's face and green emeralds for eyes. It was cheap, relative to a diamond, but truly loved. I inheireted my grandfather's wedding ring and had our wedding date (9-16-00) inscribed next to his (10-19-32). For my wifes wedding band, we found a vintage white-gold ring that was also made in the 1930's.
• I wouldn't really want/need an engagement ring. It would be shiny and pretty, but... meh. I'd rather spend the cash working towards a house downpayment or something else that benefits everyone instead of just me.
• His plea reminds me of a commercial from a Family Guy episode: "Diamonds... she'll pretty much have to."
• No afford ring -> No afford wedding No afford wedding -> No afford family No afford family -> No get married yet
• There's more to life than money and bling.
• Wait, you have to buy a family?
• I'm leasing to own my family.
• Me too. Me want money too. For ring. Also a pony.
• He only needs about 280,000 more clicks. Who wants to write a 3 line perl script and give them to him? ... no... wait... that would be wrong...
• More to life than money and bling? You mean penis enlargement? Because that costs money.
• You don't need money, Chyren. Dig a pony. Well, you can celebrate anything you want...
• Hey! Maureen! What ya doin with that cheap loser? Run away with me and I'll show ya what livin means! *Leers*
• No afford ring -> No afford wedding No afford wedding -> No afford family Can't the state just pay for them?
• I spent six dollars in quarters to get a ring out of a bubblegum mahcine in a train station in DC. I knew, just looking at it, that it would fit our relationship. At the time, I was flat broke and six dollars in quarters meant I couldn't ride public transportation as much when, so it was a sacrifice. My wife adored that ring and was higly upset when it was stolen, along with the car it was in. If you need megabucks to buy a ring to make the lady happy, well...different strokes for different folks I guess.
• Well said Brandon Walsh. Oddly enough, I also got my wife out of one of them candy vending machines. She only cost me 15 cents, and we've spent many months together of wedded bliss. Well, when I say "wife", I mean "a chocolate bar that I keep in my bed" and when I say "only cost me 15 cents" I mean "oh god I wish I had a girlfriend".
• But you do, quidnunc, and she's with you always. I think you should subtly hint for her to take the hair off that upper lip tho'.
• Jesus is my girlfriend and she helps me play french horn. Man, there's a country music song title if I ever heard one.
• Quiddy has the horn! Arf!
• Have to agree about the ring; I never got one at all, because we were students and like hell there weren't better things to spend money on. And our wedding bands are cheap, simple ones. Our marriage hasn't suffered so far as I know. Now, when we're old and rich, I intend to get myself a very nice piece made, with a ruby, but it wasn't necessary to get me into the marriage. Actually always felt a bit creepy. (Plus, I hate diamonds).
• Is that one of them sad pickup-ran-over-my-ex-wife's-yappy-little-Paris-Hilton- dog-and-I-had-to-take-care-of-it songs? Or one of them banjo-pickin-kick-yer- sister-lovin'-gnarly-bare-feet-into-the-air-and-slug-down-the-moonshine-until- yer-momma's-as-pretty-as-the-day-you-were-born songs? Or is it a disco?
• Hit it boys! *drawls* Aaaah when I were a young man, I played with my pipe! I ain't heard of je-e-sus, or eternal life! But just when I thought I'd be pipin' always Jesus appeared afore me, and took my pipe away. He said "quidnunc, you no-good son of a cow!" I said "Lord, what's the problem? What have I done now?" He said "Stop playin' on yer woodwind - that's no way to behave - Join up with my brass band, that's way you'll be saved" CHORUS Ah Jesus is my girlfriend! She helps me play the french horn! I ain't played no strings since the day I was born I don't play no woodwind - fer that's the devil's way-ay-ay! With my hand on my horn to sweet Jesus I'll pray.
• The baby Jesus is crying now.
• We're all crying, just a little bit.
• quid, is any of that song euphemistic? I noticed that around when Jesus takes the "pipe" away and gives you the "french horn" skills, "he" turns into a "she". Bizzare! It's like opposite-land with a sacrilyptus effervescence.
• Now the baby Jesus has wet him/her self.
• (S)he needs a kryptonite diaper!
• "he" turns into a "she" They tell me that God hates gay relationships, hence he miraculously shed his sacred penis and grew a holy vagina into order to blow my horn.
• We've all wet ourselves, just a little bit. haven't we?
• But you do, quidnunc, and she's with you always. Does anyone else look at that picture and get the distinct impression that Jesus is about to completely orchestral on the guy with the horn? Guy with horn: "Pwaaaaarp pwarp pwarp pwaaaaaarp" Jesus: "Please don't look around, please don't look around, please don't look around" Guy with horn: "Pwaaarpa-pwarp pwaaaaaaaaarp pwarp" Jesus: "Just a liiiiiittle bit closer... Just a tiiiiiny little bit closer..." Guy with horn: "Pwaaaaaaaarp pwaarpa-pwaaarp-pwaaAAARGHHH!!"
• Dang. "go completely orchestral".
• Ha, quid! Just as I was reading your opus, 'Bush doesn't care about black people' comes out on the radio. It fitted, oh yes it did.
• I got the impression that the Jesus wanted to clap his hands but the skinny guy was in the way! It would so make a great sitcom! The Jesus: (Can't clap) I'm the son of god, goddammit! Skinny guy: Pwwaaaarp! Here we go again!
• Skinny guy stage direction - (to audience:)
• Surely Jesus would never befriend someone who played the frenchfreedom horn.
• Surely Jesus would never befriend someone who played the frenchfreedom horn. When did the Jews start hating France? Still, you gotta feel for that Freedom Stewart guy.
• Surely Jesus would never befriend someone who played the frenchfreedom horn. Not American Bajeezus, anyway... He's too busy smiting the pinko menace with hail mary passes and righteous indignation.
• I got the impression that the Jesus wanted to clap his hands but the skinny guy was in the way! I don't know -- there's just something about the way he seems to be staring straight through the back of the horn player's head in a "it'll only hurt for a second / he needed killing / justifiable homicide, think justifiable homicide" kind of way...
• Self defence, planetthoughtful, self defence for Jeebus all the way. He may die for our sins but by Dad he'll off a few brass players first. Of course, the pic immediately made me ask the traditional question: Why's Jesus smiling and where's His other hand? And quid, yore song done raised a tear in my li'l eye. Blow, quid, blow! Blow for Jesus!
• Blow, quid, blow! Blow for Jesus! Just as long as his blowing doesn't suck. Metaphorically speaking.
• Those nuns are teh hawt.
• yes, and jesus looks pregnant! quid?
• The baby Jesus is pregnant!
• ...one of those sites was why my friend and i put up this parody. and...if someone spent more than they could afford on a ring for me, i'd smack them upside the head. i am, however, slightly afraid that someday someone will propose with a ring and i'll just go into ferret shock (oo shiny) and say yes whether i should or not. oh, gods, i need sleep.
• and jesus looks pregnant! quid? This one's called "I knocked up the son of man, and man it sure felt good" HIT IT, BOYS! [etc]
• Hey Quid, do 'Jesus was my ladyboy', I love that one.
• Mommy she loved Jesus, but not like others did For she had a special bottle in which Our Savior lived Mommy she loved Jesus, but not like others did For she could unleash His vengeance by unfastening the lid
• "If your name if Maureen Miley, you had better click here for your own good!! Mabye someone can chip in to get his speech problem fixed. "It'f my girlfriend. I lovef her lotf." Bah. I'm grouchy and cynical today because it's my birthday and my own mother forgot. So everyone else should be miserable too. And what everyone else said. If he needs that big old ring, it's only a matter of time before someone comes along with a bigger one. Ring, I mean ring.
• Happy Birthday Lara! We love you.
• Awww...thanks. It was a shameless bid for a Happy Birthday, but them's the best kind. I still think everyone should be miserable today, but given that most people around me are ill from over-indulging, I'm not too disappointed.
• Happy Birthday Lara, ya big lug! C'm'ere! *punches Lara on arm, buys her a beer* Crisp? They're cheese and onion flavour...
• Fappy Firfday!
• I still think everyone should be miserable today, but given that most people around me are ill from over-indulging, I'm not too disappointed. Happy Birthday, Lara! And... and... oh God I feel so... [sfx: choking up] so... utterly, utterly... miserable... [sfx: weeping like a 5 year old who's just discovered that the Wiggles killed Santa Claus in the hastily suppressed "Jesus We're Already Sick Of Christmas" musical video]
• Happy Birfday, Lara! Some days you just want to go outside, shake your fist at the world and holler "Boooo! BOOO!" It's cathartic, and often the world deserves it. But I hope your birthday gets more fun in a jiffy.
• What the fuck? You people are all jumping on my wagon here. Get your own goddam birthday girl. This one is MINE.
• HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LARA!!! Have some cake. - . . . - - | | | - [____] potsed by yerGramMa at 27:73PM on Novmember 2S, 2oo5
• *gets back from having to do some stupid work, grabs a beer, a fistful of crisps and a the whole darned cake and settles in* You guys! Thanks for being teh sick, planet. I'm feeling better already! Oh, you all wanted some cake too?
• Happy birthday Lara! I'm at work, and therefore miserable, so I hope that cheers you up.
• I'm at work, and covering for five people who convinced my boss that they deserved my birthday off more than me. But your misery does help. Now if you could just eat about six pounds of stuffing and drink a gallon of cheap wine, I'd feel a lot better.
• I'm on it, Lara! Here's to your health! *toast* ...eh, what do you mean by stuffing..?
• Now if you could just eat about six pounds of stuffing and drink a gallon of cheap wine, I'd feel a lot better. How did you know what I had for lunch??
• I can't believe you bastards derailed my shiny-ring thread for the sake of someone's birthday. I hate you all so much.
• HAPPY BIRTHDAY LARA!!!
• So, Lara, did the birthday elves cough up anything nice this year? The little bastards pulled a no-show for mine back in October
• I clicked some of the links at the guy's ring site. Really I did. The elves were nice, and even brought me a cool wind-up Dalek figurine that scoots across the floor threatening to exterminate the cat. And some great Japanese plum candy, and a host of other fun stuff. (The elves are my cool sister.) Thanks for the cheering and happys, all. I'll give you a belated birthday bout of over-stuffing if it'll help, planet. And kick the elves up the backside. Oh and GO RING GUY!
• The son of my father's wife just married a girl who held out for a $10,000 ring. I guess she is some type of real princess, but come on. If she really loves you the price of the ring means shit. Mind you, this is the same guy who wents halvesies with his brother to buy me the cushions to a chair that I registered for (roughly $50)...a chair that no one bought me.
• The elves were nice, and even brought me a cool wind-up Dalek figurine that scoots across the floor threatening to exterminate the cat. Okay, I definitely want this. The Dalek, not the cat.
