That girl I was going to marry? You mean Sarah?
Well, a while ago she decided she could live a better life out of where we live. She wanted me to come with her, and I said no. Well, she decided to stay, and around that time we had to get busy in the fields, and she claimed that I wasnt speding enough time with her. (My barber's reaction was : What in the hell? Spend time with her? You have to plant something to get a little spending money...) And then she left, no goodbies or anything. Right after that Bill died in a car accident, and thing hvn't been right since...

Well, I wouldn't stay with you either if you'd make it an obligation. And in a field, no less! How's she supposed to react?

Yeah, hi. Uh, I've, ah...got a question for you. Um...when you look at the geneological history of your town...does it more closely resemble a forest, a small bush, or a log on the way to the mill?

UMP: Well, considering we had to plow the weeds under, put on fertilizer and chicken manure (verrry valubale crop...) and then plow that under, plow the spots we missed, then fer off the rows, then plant, put on MiracleGrow, and so on...

suck it. the township i grew up in has been around since 1790. that extra 6 years that we have on you has allowed us to grow to over 54,000 people. w00t for varied gene pools!
[edit: i didn't really want you to suck anything, by the way. it was a "figure of speech".]

This is true.... We could put Saint Helen MI in to the middle of TN and it would fit the stereo-type to an I... a T has branches...
Family logs aside, have you talked to Michelle about how you feel.... You need to find out how she feels, or you are going to be miserable...

Of course, even if you do try that tactic, odds are you'll still feel miserable for some reason. Though that's not a reason to do nothing, just a caveat...
