Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Dude for me? The publicer the better! At this rate I want a fucking parade.

Actually, if someone does feel the need to really go all out he could hire one of those planes at the Jersey Shore that pull ads across the sky. I've thought they were awesome since I was about four. [link]

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Man, I was so shocked when I found out that other places don't have advertising planes at their beaches!

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I was proposed to first in a bar. I said, "Fuck off. You're drunk."

Then I was proposed to the next day on the plane home. I didn't believe him then, either.

Then, I was proposed to in our favorite restaurant a couple of months later and I said, "No." And then I laughed and said, "DUH!"

I do not like the public eye. In retrospect, the time my ex told a mariachi band it was my birthday was a sign that this marriage could not be saved.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

When I propose, I think I'll have a giant animatronic T-rex do it for me. Luckily, T-rex has small enough hands to handle the ring....

Aims and MM have the most perfectly Aims-and-MM proposal story.

Umm, assuming that was MM in the bar?

tommyrot, will he be stomping on a very small house? Because that would be hi-larious!

Yeah, I think he'd have to be.

But it'd be kind of hard for him to do it during the proposal. I'm not sure if he should stomp on the tiny house before or after the proposal....

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I was proposed to first in a bar. I said, "Fuck off. You're drunk."

Then I was proposed to the next day on the plane home. I didn't believe him then, either.

My aunt famously laughed at my uncle and said no when he proposed, because she thought he was kidding.

Then he pulled out the ring.

She changed her answer.

I tend to scoff at romance, but I think deep down I would probably want a little bit of romance (which does not probably equal big public scoreboard nonsense--I'm talking like, formal proposal-y words and champagne type stuff, as opposed to rolling over in bed and saying "so, wanna get hitched?"). Though I suppose I'd probably be just as likely to be the one suggesting it. And I can't really see me making a big production out of it. Though I could see suggesting it in a nice moment that was already happening (like if we were on a nice vacation somewhere or something, as opposed to setting up a whole dinner for the purpose of, if that makes sense) (ah, the problem of equality...)
