    Wow I wake up today and the world has changed! I haven't really met you Russ, but I feel as though I know you. All the comments, jabbing, poking, back and forth.

    I could sense the admiration, respect and love for you as one of our brothers.

    But the pictures! @Hermitism has really built up your persona for all to see in cyberspace! :smile:

    For me, the unforgettable picture was of you, well, picking your nose in search of a deeply embedded booger. Yeah that will always be with me. Help me!

    But is that truly the real Russ? Lurking in the bushes? Turns out not so much, IMO.

    Your lovely fiance seems like a very nice complement, a completion, of now what we, for those that have not met you personally, see is the real Russ. A nice guy!

    Congrats brother! All the best for you and the future Mrs! :smile:

    Perhaps I missed it, but I don’t recall there being a poll asking our opinion, nor do I recall Russ coming before this forum and seeking our permission.for this union. Given the years we have spent looking out for him and the acceptance we have shown for his peculiar fascination with goats and other livestock....

    Well I guess it only means Russ has evolved from the last living member of the Sasquatch/Yeti clan ro a nearly complete human. He may still use a fork with a closed fist and pee on shrubbery, but his new bride should be able to polish off those rough edges.

    Our baby is leaving the nest...

    Haven't received my wedding invite yet, wtf is up with that ? Brian can provide the tunes, Joe can handle the coffee, Jesse can boat people from across the river, Wagner can handle the A/C, Cathy can bounce all the unwanted, I can handle the food and desserts, Ryan can bartend, John can drive the golf cart, shuffle people to and from. Ron can do all the security cameras, video taping.

    I think we gotcha covered Russ, except what do we tie on to the back of yours and Judy's motorcycles ? Dead raccoons ? Live ones ? :D

    It was a bucket truck wedding and the old folks wished them well
    You could see that Russell did truly love the mademoiselle
    And now the young monsieur [?!?] and madame have rung the chapel bell
    "C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell

    Welcome back to the institution of marriage... y'all know the rest, right? ;)
    Congrats, man, best of luck to you both in the future.
    So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?
