I'm surprised that there wasn't an ad for classmates.com on that page.

It was just puppy love, their parents promised.

Unapologetic idealist that I am, I wish them many happy years.

Evolution? Me thinks not

Why does every US news article read like its the beginning of a novel, or the blurb for a summer blockbuster.

"It was a cold winters night, deep in november, and paul and sally were on thier way to the shop to get some supplies. It was to be a trip theyd never forget. ZOMG PILEUP!"

or

"In a world.......where one couple....went to buy some stuff.....in the dead of night.....one car.....would skid out....and KILL US ALL!"

Seriously, does the average american have such a short attention span that they have to use hooking techiniques straight from some godforsaken marketing department?

You say you'll never be mine,
but darling, there'll come a tiiiiii-ime
I'll taste all that love that you've been hiding--
It's just a question of time,
before you make up your mind
And give all that love you've been denying...

/It's gonna getcha.

Iowa booted out another old one!

/aww

She's just going to end up knocked up and whiny. Sheez, man, you had a chance to get away...

How sweet...

Every journalist/writer wants to write the perfect lead. The few good ones can.

To offset the fact that every US tv commercial depicts people turning into cartoon characters and flying through the Tinkerbell sparkly air to high-absorbancy, paper-towelled Nirvana.

Second base is a lot closer to third base after 47 years.

That's a home run!

Meanwhile, I haven't even had a chance to bat.

If you don't make it to a homerun after 47 years of searching, that would suck like something I can't imagine.

Man, I really needed to read a story like this today.

Congratulations to them both - I wish them much happiness!

All I can say is: good luck to them both.

I'm not much a believer in romantic love, but every now and then I get proven wrong. This is a really nice story, and for those of you Farkers who are under 50 (and I'm not one of them), it may be easy to be cynical and joking, but for us old farts there's something about this that really resonates.

/not that I had anyone in high school I'd want see again, let alone get involved with

practiced kissing - for four years straight. By 1961, Bob was tired of just kissing. "Marry Blow me," he asked Sue.

Not to be cynical, but it just seems like a well written advertisement for Classmates.com.

/Good luck to the new couple

Looking at the pic, I'm not sure he could swing for the fences if he wanted to. Frankly I think he'll be lucky to get a bunt single.

Erm, seriously, is this really an American phenomena? Daily Mail anyone? Let's face it. Westerners have ADD.

I'm sorry, did you say something?

For all the (mostly) women in this thread Ooohhhhing and saying how sweet, she was nothing to him before, but she is now. The stories of people having a REAL love and then finding them later, not so good.

I am glad it at least worked out for them.

/moral? Do 'em young, don't love 'em young. And if you fail that, don't get back together with em older.

I don't understand why you say that she was nothing to him before, in TFA it says he asked her to marry him in high school, and she turned him down, and that while he had been married, he had always thought of her through the years, so where does your view come from, exactly?

/woman
//ooohing and awwwing

Sex with tomatoes: don't knock it till you've tried it.

Yeah, we have the daily mail, The Sun et all, the difference being that these publications are known for being sensationalist and 'chatty'. They make no bones about it, they know it, we know it and if you choose to buy them its cos you like that. Im thinking mroe along the lines of The Times, and any BBC news article as an example of THE NEWS, and not another entertainment show.

Ive yet to come across a US news site, such as WTFBBQ news (WTH is the deal with the random letters aswell) that DOESENT read like a trashy novel. And what the hell is with every 'anchor man' being a celebrity in his/her own right? WTFBBQ news would have thier faces splashed across the top banner with toothy insincere grins. Whats up with that? They just read you the farking news.

Ive tried to sit through one of the clips from a US news site that gets posted here now and again, but i cant do it, i really cant.

It was a gorgeous Sunday morning, unusually warm for this time of year, so Steve Whitmer decided it was the perfect opportunity to take his two small children to a local park.

I can't help but thinking the people they married first are the ones getting screwed over in this. Especially if you are "still thinking about her" decades later. Seriously folks.

And the kids, if you had been married and had kids, do you think you'd offer to trade them from kids from another marriage? Of course not. Can't really count that, ya know? (Not saying the current kids are worth less, just that they wouldn't have traded any kids they had together for hypothetical kids from other marriages.)

"Bob and Sue became an item in the ninth grade back in their hometown of Bayport, Minnesota."
