checking in from the road to make a brief announcement

[thehefner]

We didn't really have plans for HOW we were gonna announce this, not even when we decided to do it via the mall's photo booth. Probably not the best of ideas, but hey, at least the most important one came out mostly kinda okay:





Hopefully that gets the idea across. :) And before you ask, no date's been set yet.

I'd show you pictures of the actual ring, but I fear it looks kinda terrible on its own. On her, it looks perfect. Somehow, it fits perfectly, in more ways than one. On its own, it's... very QVC. But it was the only one I could find that actually said something from the heart, and while the ring is not that great, it's definitely ours.

No, really, trust me. If I were to post the only image of this ring I can find online, the combined flists of Henchgirl's and mine would come down on me on her behalf. It's that bad. It looks much better in person, and even then, it's STILL bad. She loves it, even if--or perhaps because--it's terrible, but definitely one that would come from me.

She understands. I'm not sure anyone else would.

Do you remember the Indiana Jones film where Indy had to pick out the Holy Grail from this huge display if all manner if cups and bowls made of everything from gold to clay pottery? Do you remember which one was the Grail? 'Nuff said.

"THIS is the ring of a destitute monologuist!"

Yeah, and that clay cup was the Holy Fscking Grail!

Oh very nice, wasn't that the one with the line "He chose ... poorly."

And here I was hoping for the snake ring with gems for eyes.

I take it the potato chips didn't work. No wait, those were mine.

Yeah, but this ring actually more closely resembles the gaudy fake grails, not the humble true one!
