Humor will not be tolerated!! -Portia

And now, Tao, YOU are making snap judgments. The "damning reality" is that it is dumb to marry someone you're not excited about marrying, and enter into a life you find disappointing? That it's selfish to accept someone's offer of lifelong commitment to you when your heart is elsewhere? Wh...

Also loved Cognoscente's answer.

(edited because I decided I was too mean. I'm always saying it's not okay to be mean just because you're online, then I did it. Sorry.)

Jerks are not immune to liking things.

Just wanted to say that I went to China with ILP, and hate them passionately. I would forewarn everyone I know against that program.

Optimus Prime + The Cleaning Lady = 92%. Of course

I believe I am quite a bit younger than both vorpal blade and a Mom, and I also grew up - in California, no less - understanding that "gay" meant "happy." In fact, in elementary school I wrote and recited a poem about my baby brother where I used the phrase "happy and gay.&q...

I was just assuming that she was going to let Lizthony get married before she froze time.

I think it's time for a new title bar.

Well, she has to concentrate hard and perform self hypnosis in order to successfully perform a Judo-head-rip on Anthony in the next panel...

Holy wowzer-oos - Lizthony is engaged. Shock, shock, shock.

"Now you see why I married your wife." - ahem.

It was fun. Thanks, Fred and Portia, for putting it together!

Maybe we can take a poll at our next hang-out.
