Dude, if you're getting cold feet, maybe you should listen to your heart. No need to rush into anything. Marriage is a big commitment.

Yeah, sure. We all did. But how do you put a value on the kind of devotion Joe shows you? You can't buy that, you really can't.

We mock because we care.

Or because it's fun.

Probably more because it's fun.

Making fun of other people is the best way to feel better about yourself. If everyone is laughing at them, you can be reasonably sure they're not laughing at you. And if you feel bad, you should immediately turn around and be mean to someone who loves you, so that you can both feel bad together.

Taking notes, Pez? These are some key concepts in "having a happy marriage."

Josh you and Calvin need to get everyone together and make a road trip down to Monterey since their are already a few of us here. I have a friend who is captain of one the boats down here and he can preform the ceremony underwater like Mel and Curt's. We can have the guys form Backscatter do the photos and video. Vis has been about 60' and clear as a bell here. What do yo think?

I know Berkeley at Backscatter-he'd totally be into it! I'd fly to Monterey for an event of this magnitude, and I'm sure lots of others here would, too. What color bow tie should I wear with my drysuit?

:laughing3:

Um, we're going to have to buy those 2 a lot of beer to make up for the endless teasing....

I heard that diving was closed down there though, at least that's what someone said (I don't remember why) :dontknow:

Nailer found the couple a nice wedding gift during our dive today. It should really spice the honeymoon up. :evil4:

I'm confused, now. There are at least 4 different guys getting married in this thread, all of a sudden.

After months of lurking and occasional postings, I vote this as the best threat hi-jack ever! Okay, so I haven't met any of you, but now I desperately want to! Can I be the flower girl at the wedding(s)? Pretty please? Who wouldn't want a newbie in a wetsuit with buoyancy problems from being a part of the wedding party? Just think of the sheer amusement value in having me along...
:bounce:

On a side note, I wore my knife on my left inside calf, tried it out on the dive, and completely screwed it up. Couldn't get it out of the sheaf and almost dropped it when I figured out the release. Luckily, my dive buddy and I were both trying out new gear, so I didn't feel completely absurd. Also, I didn't knick, cut, or otherwise harm myself or said buddy, so it was a good dive.

It did look cool, however. As a guy in the parking lot at Titlow Beach told me, chicks with knives are hot. Go figure. :fish:

Yes, knife on the calf on a chick is definitely hot, but as you found out not always that functional. Believe it or not but EMT shears are very helpful underwater, but boy do you look stupid with a pair of safety scissors. They're also a little bulky, that's why I prefer cutting devices like this:

No need. I'm legally able to marry a couple in the state of WA. You guys want Keystone or Redondo?

And no I don't mind if you write your own vows.

I worked on a response to all of this, and I'm at a loss for words. First, let me say thank you to all of you for your support and open-minded embracing of what you percieve to be occuring here. Now that I got the pleasantries out of the way...

Josh, I hope the hungry fleas of a thousand mange-ridden dogs infest your underwear drawer.

Penelope, once you get a she-pee, may you mistake your "delicate feminine adhesive" with Gorilla Glue.

Calvin, I wish you would be abducted by aliens and violated in unspeakable ways.

Jake, may your next dive light flood at depth causing you to be shocked by a massive electrical surge, leaving you looking like a hairless experiment in electrolosis gone horribly wrong.

Dave, I hope your camera floods just after getting that perfect 6 gill picture at the end of a string of 445 amazing pictures while visiting Puget Sound.

Scott, yes, you do owe us an amazing amount of beer, and when the waitress is pouring said beers, I hope the bartender spits in yours.

Loanwolf (apologies, I don't know your name), I hope your next bowel movement leaves you wondering when you ate thistles and broken glass.

Last but not least, Matt. Matt, I hate you. I hate everyone related to you. I hate everyone who looks like you. I believe you are a sub-human (looks human, smells like cabbage, lacks opposable thumbs) and I pray that your people bring their flying saucer by soon to pick you up and take you away, never to be seen or heard from again.

This club sucks.
Not just front page famous, but above the fold famous...
