The greatest con ever

Four years ago today at Two O'clock in the afternoon I managed to pull off the greatest con ever.

I'm sure you're wondering what the scheme was, what could be so brilliant, what could top the IMAO Cat Blog, or Ana Marie Cox and Steve-O reproducing or an accredited university giving me both undergraduate and graduate degrees.

The scheme was my plan to marry well beyond my means and I was able to convince an extremely attractive, athletic and intelligent woman to marry me. And on June 9th, 2001 we were wed. To date it's been the greatest experience of my short life, I've matured (she told me just the other day I have the mentality of a four year old as compared to a two year old when we first got married), I've become a responsible member of society (that's right the cats litter box gets cleaned by you know who and she only has to tell me to take out the trash three times) and I've become fiscally responsible (I make money she spends it). To top that off she hasn't replaced me with the mail or milk man, yet.

I sincerely hope everyone reading this is able to experience the joy and happiness she's brought into my life over the past nine years. (To the men reading this I hope you find a woman that won't kill you when you take every chance to get that you got married on 69.)

Since we're planning to escape this weekend to celebrate, posting may be light as I'm unsure about the internet connection where we're staying. Thus I'll repost some older crap to keep you entertained, trust me I know how dangerous and idle mind can be.
