My baby girl is getting married . . .

[luvmyshiner]

Her boyfriend called me two weeks ago to ask for her hand in marriage. I almost didn't answer because it was right in the middle of the Cowboys game, but they were losing so I figured what the hell . . .

Last night he proposed, and she said yes.

BUT (and this is a big BUT), he's a bass player and that worries me.:thwap

Hey congrats to you and CB.

Bass player, hmm that could be a problem. Hey, look on the bright side, it could have been a drummer.

A certain person that was in Vegas is going to be heartbroken.

Congrats to you, CB and most importantly, BG.

A bass player??? That lucky girl!! Bass guys, almost always are rock solid, dependable and not flaky and not looking for the limelight. With the notable exception being Gene Simmons. :poke

Wait a minute . . . you mean . . . HE'S JEWISH????:what

Oh boy....I'm not touching that one. aha But GS, lead singers (especially the ones who just sing and don't play an instrument) and ex-head cheerleaders tend to be.....how shall we say.....HIGH FRIGGIN' MAINTENANCE. Not all of them mind you....but enough of them to become a stereotype. :poke

[Perfect Stranger]

Congrats....and don't worry, my middle daughter married a bass player and they are doing quite well.

[Kazz]

I hope it is not Spud's bass player....he might get lost on the way to the venue :-)

Congrats LMS, CB and of course to BG too.

(do you feel old now Shiner?)

(use discretion and be clear when uttering those words around politicians, policemen, and attorneys):D :D :D

Congratulations, BG, CB, and Shiner!:applause

(Shiner, now you won't have to chase all those young men off with a stick anymore...........you just have "the talk" with this one.);)

Seriously, it's great he asked permission........it shows respect, and with some young people that's somewhat rare nowadays.

[sunvalleylaw]

Congrats! He survived the "shotgun across the legs whilst Papa Shiner rocks on the porch" treatment I guess? And regarding being a bass player, that's not so bad! Leaves you free to play guitar during family jams!

[luvmyshiner]

Thanks for all the kind words guys. They're both good kids with a solid education and good heads on their shoulders. Of course I do worry. They seem so young (even though BG is four years older than I was the first time I got married).

Of course, my concerns couldn't have anything to do with my stellar record in the old matrimony department.:thwap

I guess I won't be on someone's Christmas list.

Heh, heh, WRONG dude! I made your Christmas present myself. It's special! They say you can't polish a turd . . . they're WRONG.:bootyshake

I could have put it with the one that looks like a guy sticking a tuner button up his nose - wait, that was an actual photo.

[luvmyshiner]

I actually have a "turd sculpture" of that one too. But I hold to mold it a little bit.:nope

[sumitomo]

Hey guys the Bass player might get cold feet and run for the hills when he sees necked tractor guy! or sees how Shiner likes to tune his guitar! :thwap Sumi:D
