Just got back from Vancouver, and since Pooly is otherwise preoccupied for a couple weeks, I'll just report that his wedding was fantastic and everything couldn't have gone smoother. Their close friends even had a baby that morning.
Sean, a couple friends and I had breakfast at Denny's before the wedding, and we had a blast ordering the Hillary Duff / A Cinderella Story meal, complete with weird toxic chemicals that make your Sprite turn pink.
The reception was held up in the mountains, in an incredibly gorgeous place. Hot weather as anything, but otherwise great.
Pictures will be forthcoming.

I just got back into town, but belated congrats to Pooly and Wifey. May your days be happy and bright and shine like aluminum.
Oh... Justin, did you use the handpuppets?

Yeah, my congrats are bit late, too (I'll blame the hellacious time I've had at work lately).
But congratulations nonetheless!!!
I'll offer you this bit of advice, as a married man myself:
If you ever get in a serious argument with the other half, do what I do. Offer up all the blame and responsibilty, and apologize. And then go and play a really violent videogame for a couple of hours.
Actually, it's probably better that you don't listen to me or my advice at all...

Dan! Welcome to our crazy pup tent of doom and also fat-free biscuits!
Dan had one of the best quotes over the weekend, as we were all talking about Invader Zim and Simpsons and Dan blurts out, "How the HELL do you find time to watch all these shows?"
That's simple, Dan. We just don't fight crime at night. To each their own.

Uh-oh... this looks like a job for our friendly neighborhood scientist... ;D Ya just had to mention titanium dioxide, didn't ya? Unfortunately, it ain't gonna make sprite turn pink - it's as white as white can be (it's used as a white paint pigment). But, it does taste pretty nasty  The reason I know all this - I play around with it, on occasion. BTW, welcome to the forum! ;D |

No, what is really horrible is that darned dihydrogenoxide! I mean think about it, it is the primary cause of urination, vomiting, and pool-related deaths every year. On TOP of that, it is also responsible for the following: - A major component of acid rain
- Can cause severe burns in the gaseous state
- Accidental inhalation can kill you
- Primary contributor to erosion
- Decreases effectiveness of automobile brakes
- Has been found in tumors of terminal cancer patients
- May dissolve metal ions especially in the presence of road salt
If it wasn't for this horrible chemical we would not be NEARLY as sweaty, we wouldn't be crying all the time and we wouldn't have to deal with garbage like Blue Crush! So I say to everyone, ban dihydrogenoxide now! For your children's future! ;D |

Well, the packet that turned our Sprite pink had dyes in it too, we just found that one ingredient more horrible-sounding than the rest. Hilary Duff is pretty horrible, too.

Man, Poolie didn't even shave for his wedding?! That's hardcore, man. I'm already getting pressure to lose the goatee, and I'm not even CLOSE to the altar. When he gets back, maybe Sean'll share his secret. (Hypnosis? It's hypnosis, isn't it?)

Stand your ground. Threaten to grow out the full beard if she keeps it up! Of a Fu Manchu. Pick one.

Well, the packet that turned our Sprite pink had dyes in it too, we just found that one ingredient more horrible-sounding than the rest. Hilary Duff is pretty horrible, too. Now I'm wondering what you could have added to your sprite, which may have done that.... hmmm, let's see what a google search gives me... - horseradish - McDonald's honey mustard sauce - Jack in the Box's buttermilk sauces So, what did you add?  I probably didn't want to know that. Kinda reminds me of the time when I read the ingredient list on a Dr Pepper bottle, and realized that polyethylene glycol was in it. I know it's not antifreeze (ethylene glycol), but it wasn't something that I wanted to drink, either. I think they've since switched formulations and no longer include it, but I'm not taking a chance |

Guess what, everybody! [glow=red,2,300]I'M MARRIED!!![/glow] While I hate to interrupt everyone's incessant arguing about titanium oxide (that was in the blue dye, by the way, not the pink, pictures will eventually follow) I promised pictures. And the PoolMan delivers.  Me and PoolGirl, in what we have pretty much accepted to be our favourite "candid shot" we got back. We go to see the photographer tomorrow for the professional proofs, but this came from my father-in-law's camera. I was going to crop it, but I know girls all want to see the dress. You will note that I look very manly in a tux. This is me and PoolGirl gazing steadily into the future, or at the photographer, I forget. Along the lines of looking into the future, we've officially had our first nag to bear children, and we've been given two years. Ah, married life. This is us with my brother, aka PoolBoy. I threw this in not only because it's a good picture, but because for the very first time, I noticed that Chris' little beardlet is actually a dead ringer for the Rebel logo! Don't believe me? Look closely at his chin, and then check this out! Amazing. Fellows, NEVER be tricked into this pose. It's just not right. Although I hear Fifty Cent is interested in copying my new-style doo rag.As for keeping the beard, I'm actually under strict orders NOT to shave the beard, Drew. My wife (hee!) loves the bearded look on me, which I'm quite relieved about, because I much prefer it. Still though, it's possible the beard itself has hypnotic properties... I hadn't considered that. For those I'm a little closer to that I promised pictures to, don't worry, more are pending, but it'll take a little while. The big event's over, but there's still a ton of work for me to do, so give me time to sort it out. Oh, and WELCOME misterwah. I've been waiting a LONG time for you to show up. A long time indeed. Don't let that be your only post.#nosmileys |
