Let's think happy thoughts right now. HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY! is a series of threads that focus on a happy topic in order to get away from the otherwise depressing nature of NSG threads.

This is HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY!: Topic #1. The topic is - How did you meet your spouse, and how did you (if you have yet) propose to him/her?

A very odd topic for a happy thread...

How is this supposed to be happy for those who haven't a spouse?

How is this supposed to be happy for those who've a spouse?

I call false advertising!

Yeah, its not like Fassitude will be getting married anytime soon,...or late,...ever.....


As for me, im still looking for that special girl, but i will make the night of proposal Ultra-romantic

A very odd topic for a happy thread...

"HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY!" is just an oxymoron for this. I would make a "HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY!: Death" topic, but it's just too obvious.

You fiend.

this thread scares me

I met the current shackee at a party because I'm dull:p

nah they aren't as good in the bedroom as they sound...

My hubby and I met through eHarmony. :D

We dated long distance for a while and then on one trip back home I fell asleep driving and nearly had a wreck. It scared me to death and I guess it did him too. He proposed the next day. ;)

Yeah, its not like Fassitude will be getting married anytime soon,...or late,...ever.....

So, what makes you think the proposal for a gender-neutral marriage law will fail when 6 of the 7 parties, comprising 94% of the Riksdag, support it, and also the Church of Sweden?

Or, are you familiar with my stance that marriage is an inferior institution and that us gay people can come up with something a lot better even if it is nice that those who want to slum can if they wish to? It's hard to guess what exactly you're trying to allude to in your transparent attempt to bait, really.

Well we first met at a store selling furniture, then i saw the wonderment that was, another me! in the shiny material inside a metal frame, i thought, yes! someone who matches my awsome cleverness!
But after a while this person kept copying everything i did, i tried booking a restaraunt table for two and said my partner would pay, but the waiter just gave me a blank look and so i ran out in shame of my new partner.
ahh one day i'll find a bigger metal frame and shiny stuff.
:)
although i admit, alot of recent NSG threads have been about doom, death how to deal with it and what you want written on your gravestone so i support this bizzare thing you call "happyness".

Topic #1. The topic is - How did you meet your spouse, and how did you (if you have yet) propose to him/her?

Internet, and not yet.

the joys of being a western male?

... I don't see how this thread is happy for people who don't have spouses, haha.

I'm engaged. I met him in grade 12. Seems strange, but it's really not.

She was looking for acting work and I mistook her for little known British actress Naomi Ryan (who I had such a crush on at the time that I definitely would've employed her despite the respective lack of casting powers and acting abilities). She turned out to be more talented, more lovely and more American (can't win 'em all).

As for the second, I took the future mrs sirmomo1 to Paris for a romantic getaway and dropped all kinds of hints. Our return home must have been something of a thudding anti-climax for her as somewhere between our arriving in and departing from the "City of Love", I became disgusted with myself for the cliche I had hurled us both into and I finally ended up proposing by the side of the poetry-inspring Grand Union Canal.

Yeah, its not like Fassitude will be getting married anytime soon,...or late,...ever.....

*shrug* He will if he wants to -- and won't if he doesn't.

Sorry, Fun and enjoyment is not allowed on NS...

But, before the mods come and move the thread, I am single... still... I need to find a better place to go out... The only guys who pick up at clubs are jerks, and the only girls that pick up at clubs are sluts.

I picked up my gf at a club.

Wait...what?

This thread reminds me of a video I treasure a lot. Enjoy!:D

I first met my wife when she pulled my car over. Apparently one of my friends hung three muddy jockstraps from my rear bumper without my knowledge or consent.

I proposed to her in a considerably more dignified manner. In fact, it was possibly the first and last dignified moment we ever spent together. :p

I picked up my gf at a club.

Oh, uhh, by club I meant chess club! :rolleyes:

Sorry, I was probably a bit vague on that...

Sure, sometimes nice guy meets nice girl, but the atmosphere is not conducive to getting to know someone. I have met very few people in RL who have a long term relationship with a person they met at a night club.

Either that or you're a jerk and she's a slut :P

(And don't say "obviously not for someone who thinks flirting is talking about the conduciveness of the atmosphere")

Well, your experience is from Brisbane where, let's face it, any two people just meeting on the street and you have a 90% chance that one is a jerk and the other's a slut.

It's funny 'cause it's true for most of Australia.

I don't think many people here have spouses - it's a pretty young crowd. Me, I'm plenty old enough, but I'm just not that way, so no tales to tell. :p

Yep, and the best part is, we're both Reclusive people who hate being out in public. We both only go out when we have to, or want to. :D She's perfect! :D

Damn, every time I make a good point people always snap it down by saying you're from Brisbane / Australia <_<

That's because Oz sucks, Lapse. Learn to accept it.

uhh... Coming from an American :P

We have vegemite, pluggers, hot girls in bikinis, rugby, cricket, beaches, the rotary clothes line, the stump jump plough, fresh air etc..

America has Bush, Clinton & arrogant attitudes... hmm... actually, that's all anyone ever hears about America...

QED!

Apple pie! Baseball (which is less stupid than cricket! American Football (which is less gay than rugby)! The strongest military power in the world so shut up and agree that we're the best if you know what's good for you!

Also, vegemite? That's a good thing?

Also, you have laser pointer attacks on planes and machete-wielding highschool students...

Vegemite is definitely the best black tarlike sandwich spread on the market... I'd even go so far as to say one of the best inventions ever...

Applepie: We have Pavlova!
American football: It's rugby for wuss's who want to wear body armour
Baseball: Old men standing around in far too tight pants
Military power: I reckon if China was in a bad mood they could take you...

Also, you have laser pointer attacks on planes and machete-wielding highschool students...
You have real terrorist attacks, College gun rampages and police injustice!

We have grits!
American football takes more strategy!
Yeah...well...yeah. Baseball's kind of boring, I'll admit that. But the Japanese fucking love it! That counts for something, right?
And yeah, China might possibly be able to take us, depending on the theater. We would dominate the air and probably sea, too. Ground, though, yeah, China wins. Unless we can use the superior air to stop them...

Yeah! Our terrorists are pussies and use real shyte instead of laser pointers! Because laser pointers wouldn't stop us!

And yeah...college rampages...yeah...
I blame that on Australian influences in America...

Everything either have you have mentioned is either invented by or based on a UK invention.

Know your place.

Baseball: Japan loves our coal! Coal is more economically profitable!

Hey, it was what we have! not what we invented!

Oh, I forgot the ute!

Laser pointers were a UK invention? WRONG! Bell Labs, in the US (with foundations in Einstein, the USSR, some other places).

Know your place. Or more specifically, know everything that I've mentioned before and be aware that I will tear your post apart to find the single smallest flaw in whatever you say, no matter how insignificant or besides the point it is.

We invented the USA, deal with your inferiority.

We invented the USA, deal with your inferiority.

Although, without the Spanish, it would never have been found...

Damn Spanish <_<

No, you invented colonialism. Colonials invented the USA. Specifically, we invented first the Articles of Confederation which didn't work too well so we invented the Constitution, which had strong ties to John Locke, Voltaire, and some others, but was its own original work created specifically for the territory of North America now referred to as the United States of America, which Britain had little to do with after the Revolutionary War.

A bunch of dirty, half-assed, probably half-drunk American colonials kicked Great Britain's ass and have lead the world in political and military power since WWI. You deal with your inferiority.

Also, Lapse, we have sweet tea. Nothing you have can be sweet tea.

Although, without the Spanish, it would never have been found...

Damn Spanish <_<

Yes, at least both you and the USA have the decency to speak God's language though I understand the USA is increasing their Spanish in some sort of Godless return to their discovery.

Of course, someone's going to come trotting in to say Norwegians or somesuch 'discovered' the USA - lies!

Although, without the Spanish, it would never have been found...

Damn Spanish <_<

And without the Italians, there never would have been Christopher Columbus. Which the Italians try very hard to remind the rest of the world, and specifically the US, which Spain tries very hard to get everyone to ignore.

Your history books are filled with lies. We invented you, everyone knows that except for Americans.

I believe the saying is something along the lines of "The victor writes the history books..."

So. Quit yer bitchin'. When Britain conquers the US, you can write the history books. Good luck with that, and hope the Chinese don't climb up your ass while you're trying.

Bundy Rum!

Moonshine!

I've actually been to Bundaberg, Brisbane was a mere taster for the pain and horror.

It was there, however, that I was introduced to a form of Happy Hour that beats out anything America has to offer.

Despite the tragic name of Toss the Boss, it's the best hour of drinking a man, possible a woman, can have.

This is why we like the Canadians, they at least accept that they are inferior and don't get uppity.

Not true. No one has found any evidence of it, at least.

Couch of Catastrophe!

Let's think happy thoughts right now. HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY! is a series of threads that focus on a happy topic in order to get away from the otherwise depressing nature of NSG threads.

This is HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY!: Topic #1. The topic is - How did you meet your spouse, and how did you (if you have yet) propose to him/her?

That is not my idea of a happy topic, since he is my EX-spouse and the divorce was beyond acrimonious.

The Ottoman of DISCORSE!!!!1!:p

Is that more closely related to discourse or discord?

No place without your ilk can be hell, but then again no place can be such a figment of your not so gifted imagination. Really, "hell"? You're such a poor troll; you should study the better ones who had far worse places to curse people to, places like Alabama or a Rosie O'Donnell cruise.

See this \/

shouldn't it be: "with what measure thy mate"?
But I agree with Dyakovo

This isn't turning out to be such a happy happy happy thread...
