Sad Christmas

but he's recently found a very good steady job working for Colin Quinn

Are you sure you meant to say this? Working for Colin Quinn isn't my idea of job security. Is "Tough Crowd" still on the air? If so, how much longer do you think it'll last?

[Boris Godunov]

Yes, it's still on. It's been renewed for another full season, and is enjoying its best ratings to date.

[Drake Tungsten]

Don't get me wrong; I loved Tough Crowd and used to watch it all the time. That being said, they are asking for the axe with some of the material they do. Then again, maybe they've toned down the politically incorrect stuff since I left.

HAPPY ENDING!

UPS called at 1:00 AM and said they've found it and it will be delivered today. Of course, Dan's still nervous as hell and will be until it gets delivered, but this is a good sign that things will be ok.

I can only imagine the scene at the UPS driver's house. He's on one knee, proposing to his girlfriend as he's sliding the $4500 ring onto her finger. Then the phone rings....

UPS Driver: Hello?

UPS Manager: You gotta bring that ring back, the guy called!

UPS Driver: Tell him to claim the insurance. I've already put the ring on my gir's finger.

UPS Manager: This one won't fly...they are talking about it on apolyton.net!!!!

UPS Driver: Oh crap! It's 1 AM, but I'll drive it over now!

UPS Manager: The guys at FedEx are going to eat me alive.

One of the funniest post ever at apolyton.



I'm glad he got the ring back.

[Q Classic]

excellent.

Wait a second... TWO rings for a wedding??? That's insanity! I think that at the marriage ceremony the engagement ring should become the wedding ring, just as the engagement becomes the marriage. What if a person doesn't want to wear that many rings???

Ludicrous.

Ha-Ha!
[/nelson laugh]

Has she asked you to wear the same clothes as her yet?

[reds4ever]

There surely can't be anyway your roomate is liable if the ring is lost if he hasn't signed for receipt of it (unless US laws are drastically different from the UK)

UPS tracking isn't worth a w@nk, I tracked a telescope I'd bought that at 1pm was in Stutgart, Germany and yet by 1:15pm the same afternoon was on my doorstep in the North of England! Amazingly by 1:30pm it had manged to get back to Stutgart despite still being in my kitchen!!

Actually, that could be convenient. At a glance, I could see who is available, and who is not!

I hate to be the party pooper Boris, but why in the hell did he spend $4000 on the engagement ring? Shouldn't he have saved that for the wedding ring and/or the wedding?

Does anyone agree that spending ludicrious amounts for a ring that'll be worn until the wedding insane. I'm surprised that you didn't try to dissuade him from this...

The engagement ring is the one with diamonds on it that costs a ****load of money. The wedding ring is usually a plain band and is much less expensive. The woman wears both on the same finger after she's married.

Who cares if a girl has a boyfriend?

[monolith94]

Ummmm, presumably the girl does.
