Kathleen Fent Read This Story

Posted by CmdrTaco on Thu Feb 14, 2002 09:25 AM
from the typed-with-one-pair-of-sweating-palms dept.

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! :)

[+] love, cmdrtaco, marriage, haha (tagging beta)

    It's embarassing for us!
    
    My non-geek gf wanted to know what I was reading so I showed her. The response was.
    
    : too bad i'm not kathleen fent
    
    Thanks Taco...although this is the first time a geek web site ever got someone more sex (you), this is screwing me over. She wants to know why I didn't do something like this. I explained the story got rejected, but she doesn't believe me :(

    He controls the eyes and collective IQs for a quarter million geeks!
    Well there is the issue of if IQ goes down in proportion to the size of the mob times the average intelligence.
    For example, an individual scientist might be brilliant, but a group of them can be pretty dumb.
    On this basis, the collective IQ around here has got to be heading into negative numbers.
