Woo! The Ratbastard is a smart fella, and got himself a smart girl. This all makes me happier than it should. Yay! (somebody like to the movie file where they fight like cats!)

Hey, I married Michele and nobody linked me for it.

Oh, wait, I don't have a blog and that was seventeen years ago.

Carry on!

Phooey, far more dubious FPPs have blossomed into 100+ post theads full of garbage. Why not have something nice and lighthearted and enjoyable for a change?

That said, congratulations to Michelle and, er, Rat. (What is his name? I cannot in good conscience call the man by his nom de net.) May this just be the beginning of many years of happiness and harmony.

Whoo! Congrats gang. :) Here's a toast to long years, much happiness and a harmonious melding of words, thoughts and ideas! Yay! :)

And Ed, come on, we're supposed to be a community...why wouldn't this be a front page post if two of our members are taking such a huge step? I think it's fine as an FPP.
