I'm sure some people are on fark today because they're stuck at work, and others because they're bitter assholes with no friends IRL and nothing better to do.

I wish I could see a chart indicating which column each person in this thread would fall into.

/Thinks he knows which group some people on this thread would fall into.

Fun fact: It's also possible that some farkers here don't actually live in the United States.

I take it you're the guy that's "stuck at work", because flaming people for posting here on a holiday while you're actually sitting at home yourself with nothing better to do would make you look like a hypocritical shiatbag of mammoth proportions. You know this, right? Right?

I dunno, but if you defaced a 1st ed. autographed book by one of my favorite authors and tried to propose to me, romance might not be dead, but you would be.

/You do realize that, possibly aside from the autograph page itself, the book was rendered worthless by doing that, right?

Gratch: EggFool: Mine proposed to me when I had the flu (not swine or bird flu, just plain old flu) and a fever of about 103 and I was wearing my pink beaver pajamas.

Now THAT is romance. I think I said yes...

I had an ex who called her crotchless panties "pink beaver pajamas", but I'm guessing you probably meant something different.


Quite. ;)

Destroying a signed first edition by someone's favorite author and presenting it to them would not be my idea of romantic. But if she liked it, she liked it...

Bull. ALL women are attention whores. Being the center of attention with a large captive audience that you could brag to your friends about knowing it could never be topped. You and every other woman would eat that up.


Obviously you've been dating (or trying to date) the wrong women.

reklamfox: Did it ever occur to anyone that maybe this man works at Disney World? That would explain why he referred to that spot as where they met a year ago. And it would also explain the big song and dance number. I've defended this video all I can, so now all the rest of you negative farkers can continue to tear it apart. I hope it makes you feel a little better to devalue a video that is meant to be nice and make you smile.

So did she say yes to you?

who the f*ck gets married after a year? Nothing wrong with but seems kinda rushed.

 
mycathatesyou 2009-07-04 05:49:49 PM  
I was married after a year and we've been together for 14 years. It can be done if both people are mature enough to accept the responsibilities involved.

This guy is still gay.

Well, let's say this Twinkie represents the normal amount of ghey in a stunt such as this. Based on this morning's reading, it would be a Twinkie thirty-five feet long, weighing approximately six hundred pounds.

Didn't marry him though.

I'll bet big bucks that the man in that video is going to be a hell of a groomzilla.

Well then why did you need to point it out so defensively when no one accused you? Go ahead and deny it if it makes you feel better, just know you're not fooling anyone. Maybe you should think about finally living the way you want, and not carrying on this charade; it does nothing but hurt yourself and others in your life.

It's always the ones most adamant about denying it who, deep down, really are actors.


Dammit, dammit, dammit! I KNEW my magic show past would come back to haunt me. But there's never been any other time. Really. Except for a couple of Christmas plays.

DJanomaly: The thing that irritates me the most about this thread is that because the guy can sing, everyone on Fark.com™ assumes he must be gay.

Jesus Christ, Fark....Grow the crap up!


Maybe because I live in LA I see entertainers all the time, but for five of the first ten posts to call the guy gay is such a sad reflection of America.

 
simpsonfan 2009-07-04 09:34:05 PM  
Way overdoing it. I just kept the ring in my pocket, brought it out after we got off the boat (Storybookland Canal Boats) and popped the question. Nothing fancy, just asked, she said yes. A few people around.

When we got married, we just spent the day there, we went back to the room to change. Me first, bad luck to see the bride before the ceremony, etc. I got to the drawbridge area, waited a bit, she arrived, we got married. Some family and friends there, about twenty total. Plus the judge we got. Nobody from the park was involved or anything.
A quick jungle cruise, a wedding night, and a honeymoon in DisneyWORLD a week later.

 
badhatharry 2009-07-04 10:02:28 PM  
I proposed on the Fourth of July, 2004. Convinced her to sneak up on the roof our apartment building to watch a big fireworks display. I stashed some roses and a bottle of champagne up there. She seemed to like it.

 
Peki 2009-07-04 10:04:37 PM  
I also only got through half of this. My thought throughout: What a farking bastard to put her under that much pressure? What if she had wanted to say no?

I swear I will walk out on and never again speak to any guy (or girl) who attempts to do this to me.

ifyouknew 2009-07-04 11:52:47 PM  
This is a sweet thought- he clearly put a ton of effort into it- but it's definitely not my thing. I hate musicals, and all the random bursting-into-song that goes along with them. And this guy was clearly getting off on all the attention, thinking he had come up with the most clever, sweet and irresistible proposal ever- when in fact it was just way over the top.

I also think proposals should occur in private, so that the askee doesn't feel so pressured to say yes to avoid humiliating the asker.

At least the whole thing was painfully long, which gave the girl a chance to figure out what was coming, and hopefully to think very hard about whether she really wants to marry I guy who would do this.

 
rocket333d 2009-07-05 12:07:35 AM  
Funny, my boyfriend popped the question at Disney World exactly three weeks before this "engagement." As mentioned on this thread before, the musical song and dance verson would be horrible for shy folk or just folk who don't like crying in public.
(For me, he had the ring hidden in a rose at dinner. It was a very quiet thing, and that was perfect.)

 
berklee 2009-07-05 12:27:12 AM  
That proposal was so gay, I'm surprised he didn't spit on her finger before sliding it into the ring.

 
carpsco 2009-07-05 01:00:18 AM  
It would be more convincing if it was a dude he was proposing to. The "jazz hands" were a dead giveaway!

 
th0th [TotalFark] 2009-07-05 02:24:06 AM  
My buddy's girlfriend of six years, both of them divorcees already, loved the Titanic movie and everything about the original ship. When the Titanic Museum tour came to town, he contacted them in advance, set it up so that his friend put the engagement ring on the cherub statue at the bottom of the famous staircase.

An actor in the exhibit came over to her with a written note telling her to examine the statue, and as she found the ring he proposed.

Sumbiatch ruined it for all of us, because THAT was a cool proposal. The video above? The Nicolas Cage mini trailer looked more interesting.

Being an attention whore like the guy in the video is just a sign of things to come, dearie.

Then again, she may REALLY like musicals.

If his name is Emerald she already has them. If it's the name of the pool boy she'll have those in about 3 months.

It is not a 'sad reflection' of anything. It is an accurate observation. The dude is gay. More power to him. May he enjoy the longest and hardest of cocks in his future years. If you think the only indication that he is gay is the fact that he can sing then you need to take your gaydar to the shop for a tune-up because goddamn, son.
