i got married. no really, i did.

@Thumperchick L’chaim!

@ExtraMedium thank you!

@narfcake

/giphy fuck yeah

@tinamarie1974 don’t worry. i know you’ll hold up a real drink later and toast properly

@sammydog01 I thought that was awesome!!

POPSOCKETS! SPROCKETS! DAVY CROCKETT! AWESOME!

@sammydog01 @tinamarie1974 she really is a keeper!

@2many2no the effort to clean up varied. she sat in hair and makeup for 2 hours. i think i shaved and threw on my suit 20 minutes before i had to head down.

@2many2no @carl669
That sounds about right!

@Kyeh thank you!

also, i’m getting dizzy looking at this gif

@carl669 Maybe you’re just
still giddy with joy!

@carl669 @Kyeh
or still drunk!

@chienfou @Kyeh how did you know??

@carl669 @Kyeh
I think we may share the same “spirit” animal…

(I am really happy that works on more than one level!)

@Kyeh You both silly. Is good.

@mehcuda67 thanks! i figured explaining the buzz was the least i could do.

@mbersiam thanks!

@Star2236 thank you!

I don’t even remember April 29, it must have been a great party!

@Barney what do you mean? the lightsaber has a purple tinge to it. are you sure you’re not still drunk from April 29?

@carl669

@Barney @carl669 I sense a photoshop disturbance in the force…

@speediedelivery the more celebrating, the merrier!

@ircon96 thanks!

I did buy some meat sticks off sidedeal while we were there. does that count?

@carl669 @ircon96
depends, were they for the reception??

@chienfou @ircon96 they would have been… if meh delivered to mexico

@carl669

@carl669 @chienfou Well, I’m not saying you necessarily should return the meat sticks, but from what I’ve heard about them, “depends” might be the operative word in this conversation! Good luck!

VAN GOGH! MANGO! TANGO! AWESOME!

@chienfou thank you!

@OldCatLady thank you! full glasses and hilarity is our goal. and the celebrating should naturally follow, right?

@medz Apparently, close proximity to light sabers messes up your facial features! And your hands.

@ircon96 @medz

showme wedding photo where the groom is holding a lightsaber above his head

Look at the top of this thread!

@medz what the hell is that extra hand coming out of her shoulder??

@carl669 @medz That’s for holding her extra light saber, silly!

@shahnm fuckin thank you!

@phendrick thanks! ugh… next year’s taxes are gonna be a mess.

@phendrick That’s the worst attempt at a haiku I’ve seen in awhile!

@carl669 I’m sure @Felton10 would be happy to help. Especially if you were to send along enough lobster or crab for ALL his family.

@ircon96
If you don’t like my haiku
Just wait here a while
Maybe I can do better

Haiku never entered my mind while I was typing that to @carl669; those were just my in-the-moment thoughts.
Once in a rare while when an epidemic of haikus breaks out in a forum here, I’ll try my hand. Literarily (I thought that was a word and thus checked it out, but my built-in Chrome spell-checker didn’t think it was), I prefer limericks or Shakespearean sonnets to haikus.
But my mind more naturally resorts to proofs or equations.

Any math-minded person around here might check out this, which I was made aware of today:

I and a couple of my friends have been discussing this. Not for those with weak math hearts or distaste of algebra.

[I’d pay good money for a tee like that, in my size.]

@carl669 @ircon96

@carl669 @ircon96 @phendrick
i used to do a proof that 2=1 that was pretty slick and most people couldn’t find the error in.

@carl669 @ircon96 @phendrick @chienfou
2=1 … appropriate for a wedding!

@carl669 @chienfou @ircon96 @phendrick it’s the divide by zero trick. i used to now that one two.

@Yoda_Daenerys
prezactly! It’s one of those things most people don’t pick up on…

@carl669 @chienfou @ircon96 @Yoda_Daenerys
“Most people” don’t pick up on it because “most people” are deficient as to what constitutes valid math and what doesn’t.
One can test oneself on this:
https://www.math.toronto.edu/mathnet/falseProofs/first1eq2.html
Little fancier version, with calculus:
https://mindyourdecisions.com/blog/2015/05/17/prove-2-1-with-calculus-can-you-spot-the-mistake/
I used to give this example in my calculus classes to show the importance of (spoiler)
sǝʌıʇɐʌıɹǝp ƃuıop ɹoɟ ʎʇınuıʇuoɔ ƃuıɹınbǝɹ

Wikipedia has an article on it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_fallacy
and so does mathoverflow:
https://mathoverflow.net/questions/94742/examples-of-interesting-false-proofs

There is an intriguing comment on the last:
“There are no false proofs, by definition.”

@heartny thank you! it was a very meh-ry time!

@natasha_natasha thank you!

@callow i knew someone out there was celebrating with us!

@Kidsandliz oh hell no! our current place is packed as it as, and she’d kill me if we started getting boxes of stuff! unless it was booze… that we can handle.

he’s 10 now and rocked his speech!

@carl669

@pakopako quality idea for the anniversary photo

@medz pssh… that money was squandered ages ago on bluetooth speakers and knives

@kdemo i don’t know how to respond to this without it being a double entendre. therefore, i will just say “yes”

@carl669 -
You’re married. You get all the entendres!

@carl669 @kdemo Hey - enjoy those “double entendres” while you are young!

@Jackinga thank you! there’s 2 of us, so you should probably have a second glass though

@carl669 You know, you’re right. There’s probably not room in this glass for all of us. So a second one it is!

@Fuzzalini thanks!

you know… the lapels on all the orange suits were just too poofy

@Yoda_Daenerys uhh… I don’t think the wife would like that

@carl669 yea, same here, just an expression.

@carl669 @Yoda_Daenerys One of these days it will work.

@carl669 @pakopako @Yoda_Daenerys

One of these days it will work.

Dunno, this t-shirt does not have a measurable success rate from what I hear, even at MIT.

@carl669 @pakopako @werehatrack

what is the solution? wtf^2 perhaps.

/image perhaps

/giphy perhaps

/eightball perhps?
It is certain

@Yoda_Daenerys

just notices, we do
post from 420, coincidence you think?

the reference was:

no wedding day smiles
no walk down the aisle
no flowers, no wedding dress

/youtube the river springsteen

@carl669 @pakopako @Yoda_Daenerys 13 squared minus 10 squared, and note the presence of the question mark.

@pakopako @werehatrack @Yoda_Daenerys i almost searched for a bill and ted “69 dude!”. and then i realized i was on my work computer

@carl669 @pakopako @werehatrack too bad you couldn’t use the ying-yang symbol…

/image ying-yang

@brainmist Welp, this did not get better with multiple tries and rephrasing.

@brainmist yeah… that’s not the best giphy.

Belated congrats Carl!

/giphy something more appropriate than Brainmist’s giphy

@OnionSoup I kept trying to alter the description to get the opening Kermit wave, and instead…

@brainmist it is pretty amusing.
