I recently made a purchase for my girlfriend on the Agora. In my correspondence with the other person, I failed to specify the precise nature of the relationship (I used the nebulous "significant other" instead of the clear "girlfriend")... and that led to this post where he described her as my "fiancee."

So, public service announcement: I am not engaged, nor am I married. I am, however, quite happy in my current relationship. With an American, no less! Razz

(This is the same girl I was talking about over the summer and earlier in the fall. Smile

)

/me saunters off, singing American Woman...

Intent to marry is unfortunately not a sufficient criterion for granting landed immigrant or permanent resident status in Canada. Wink

Oh my GOD!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!! When is the wedding? I'm assuming you've invited all us left wing by default. Have you invited the right wing fruitcakes too? Would be a good idea to sit us on opposite sides of the room. Otherwise, you and your significant other will be shouting I do's over yells of, 'fuck you bush lover!', 'fuck you commie foreigner!!!' while chairs are being knocked over.
Would be an interesting wedding. One to tell the kids about.

So when should I expect an invite? I shall make plans to fly to Canada accordingly.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Very Happy

Yes, perhaps Harb's post is appropriate.

Added: In my defence, it was her idea. Wink

Well, Mord made me google for the swing and now I understand a whole lot more. DAMN! There needs to be more girls like the one you're dating Twinky.

I wonder if you can get married during topico swinging? Saying the 'I do's' would be ammusing. 'I... I... dooooooooooooooooooo! oh yes! oh my god yes!! yes! yes!!!' Laughing

That's fourteen hundred pounds, there, chief, not fourteen thousand. I assume the engineer(s) figured on up to two 500 lb people with a generous safety margin. However, I'm not sure how two such people would fit into four square feet of space.

HitScan, I too tend to roofle at the serious tone many of the sites advertising such items tend to take. Some people just take themselves way too seriously, I guess.

I didn't read up on it or anything, but I did Google to find a picture so I could see what type of crossbar it had at the top. Wouldn't want to bonk my noggin on the top of the stand...

The funniest part is that Agora post describes using it to "hang a hammock" or "hang a bunch of plants" from it. I was really unprepared for the results of the google search....
