But the real question is: how does this affect Cowboy Neal?

First? How could anyone forget This one, which is orders of magnitude more nerdy.

Damn, mal....that one IS orders of magnitude more nerdy.

But CmdrTaco is a higher up on the internet celebrity totem-pole/boobie-prize.

Speaking of Valentine's, here's a refresher course on how to kiss.

I'm in love, love, love again, and I love, love, love it...

There was a weblog where a marriage proposal was made in a post's comment section. The reply came in the comments area a few hours later: yes.

I can't quite recall what weblog that was though.

Would you really propose to someone who had never posted before?

And let's not forget proposing through an online comic.

Her response: "Dork. You made me cry."

At least she didn't call him an "asshole," right Chef?

I hope this breaks out into a total nerd celebration. HP gives out a few rack mounted servers as gifts, one of the coders from Doom stops by for a geeky photo-op, Lucas sends them a signed photo of himself holding up Kenny Baker like a toddler, free wireless from Sprint for life, etc.

Could happen. Damn it, it should happen.

Geez... she could have at least used an exclamation point in her response. Emoticon maybe? Something!!

When the marriage goes south, I wonder whether he'll use slashdot to inform her that he's seeking a divorce.
