I'm convinced that the only reason men prepare these elaborate proposals are so their girlfriends will be too impressed/overwhelmed to say no. There won't even be 200 people at my wedding, let alone the proposal. What an attention whore.

Manta537		2006-10-04 08:30:17 AM

Best part is, those 200 kids are all his illegitimate children. I saw it on Maury.

Former head girl Katie said:

well duh, she's getting married

NikolaiFarkoff		2006-10-04 09:20:42 AM

If he thinks Katie is a former head girl now, wait until after they're married.

NikolaiFarkoff		2006-10-04 09:21:20 AM

Sorry, Megain, didn't read comments first. D'oh!

oldfarthenry		2006-10-04 09:29:34 AM

Child labour is just plain wrong.

Dwreck		2006-10-04 09:31:34 AM

He also had them prepared to spell out;

"What do you mean, no?"
"I hope this helicopter crashes"

serpent_sky		2006-10-04 09:31:34 AM

That's just weird. I think I'd say no on grounds of the sheer spectacle [I hate spectacle], but then that would probably make the news, too. But it's creepy, spelling "marry me" in kids.

I figure they do these things because if they say no, all these batshiat crazy chicks want to be with the kind, sensitive men, anyway, and they end up getting to date all the ladies who write into the paper.

bonesdilligaf		2006-10-04 09:31:58 AM

they were together 10 years?

so since they were 14... damn
i give em 1 year till she wants to find out what shes missing

What I Did On My Summer Vacation

By Billy Bradrick, Grade 2

We practiced standing in our spots in a field for two weeks. I wanted to go to the park but I was told the being the middle part of the "M" was an honor.

I fear I have wasted my childhood as a pixel in someone elses hookup.

Englebert Slaptyback		2006-10-04 09:32:42 AM

"Katie was then overcome with motion sickness. Her response to the proposal was not available at press time."

Prof_Moriarity		2006-10-04 09:32:50 AM

Then he buzzed them, cackling "Lookit them little fat kids run! HAW!"

The engagement was quickly suspended.

ba-ZING!!!

/ I have no patience for women who stop giving head after they get married. In fact, they make me angry on behalf of all the guys out there who have wives like this and therefore aren't getting head.
// It's just wrong, dammit.
/// suck on my peen0r!!!

HAHA! I LOL'ed and had people look at me.

Even though that concept is mostly true, you just need to find a girl that really enjoys doing it.

/Yes, they DO exist
/You're looking at her!

dustwun		2006-10-04 09:35:01 AM

Getting 200 kids to hold still long enough to spell out legible words? Herding cats would be easier... unless he owns a pharmaceutical company....

reno301		2006-10-04 09:36:13 AM

I would say no and immediately breakup with a boyfriend if he ever did anything this lame.

BrotherTheodore		2006-10-04 09:36:44 AM

Lucky it didn't turn into a Vic Morrow helicopter incident

Well hello there.

He got the idea from Tony Stark.

IXI Jim IXI		2006-10-04 09:41:01 AM

What they don't mention is that Paul McCartney grabbed a bunch of kids to spell "prenup!" in the field next door...

sivazh		2006-10-04 09:42:46 AM

Meh, if the marriage lasts, then cool, but otherwise, big deal.

My buddy and his woman spent over $15,000 on their wedding, well their parents did at least, and they got divorced two years later.

My wife and I had our wedding for less than $2000 and we will be having our 10th anniversary next year.

The money saved will be going for a cruise.

Miss Anne Thrope		2006-10-04 09:43:26 AM

How is a woman supposed to decline gracefully when the idiot makes a private moment into such a spectacle?

GavinTheAlmighty		2006-10-04 09:43:47 AM

Wasn't this the premise to Meet the Parents?

Beavis_Christ		2006-10-04 09:44:16 AM

"how can you shoot at women and children"

"easy, you just don't lead em so much"

Crown_of_Shoes		2006-10-04 09:44:30 AM

His illegitimate children, all.

Shrugging Atlas		2006-10-04 09:44:36 AM

Should have added a few hundred more kids to the mix and had them spell out "I'm an attention whore."

dave1y		2006-10-04 09:45:40 AM

Whilst. Whilst, whilst, whilst.

Where do you think the idea of buying a big fat diamond ring came from?

Hey look.... say yes and you get this pretty shiny thing....

oldfarthenry		2006-10-04 09:47:23 AM

I wonder if he'll get 200 lawyers or hookers to spell `divorce me' five years from now?

Langdon Alger		2006-10-04 09:48:33 AM

"now you have the clap" would have been better

A guy has to be insane and or stupid getting marry nowaday.

Farker Lewis Can't Lose		2006-10-04 09:57:25 AM

That's nothing... I got 2 million people together to spell out "marry me" and took my g/f in my private space shuttle into space where she saw all the people.

AUGH! The comic in Nakito's post didn't show at the top on the first viewing...

Curses! *shake fist toward the sky*

Philliam.H.Muffman		2006-10-04 10:05:31 AM

Is that what 24 looks like in England? That guy looks pretty rough for being that age.

WTF_Are_You_Looking_At

A guy has to be insane and or stupid getting marry nowaday.

A girl, too. What's the point?

My sisters and co-workes go to weddings all the time. None of my friends have that bug, we're all content to do what we're doing. My boyfrind and I have lived together almost two years now, and why break what isn't broken with some antquated idea that isn't even available to all people in this country?

I think marriage ruins a lot of relationships because of the associated stress.

blazemongr		2006-10-04 10:12:25 AM

why break what isn't broken with some antquated idea that isn't even available to all people in this country?

What do you mean? Anybody can get married, once they're old enough.

Whether they can marry anybody they want is a separate problem.

GENIOUS! Sheer genious.

So your still saving for a cruise after 10 years. Where the hell does the cruise go? Saturn?

Ilmarinen		2006-10-04 10:16:33 AM

I read "Man proposes after getting 200 children" and didn't expect him to get a "yes".

/good for him, but they couldn't have come from the same woman
//I wish I had sex 200 (or more) times

JE255J		2006-10-04 10:17:15 AM

reno301: I would say no and immediately breakup with a boyfriend if he ever did anything this lame.

And, ya know, it's entirely possible that anyone who has been with you long enough to want to propose would already know that, and therefore not do such a thing.

By contrast, let's assume that if this guy knows his girlfriend well enough to be interested in marriage, that he also realizes whether or not she would appreciate the gesture, and most likely doesn't give a crap whether you do or not.
