Dispatch from the straight marriage file: My marriage to Mrs. Aristus still unaffected

[Aristus]

by gay marriage in California.


Still waiting for our bond to unravel...

Still waiting...

Nothing's happened so far...


And everyone was convinced that the institution would be ruined...

B-)

[pleah]

1. Nope, nothing happened here either.

We just celebrated our 25th last month.

I guess the sky isn't going to fall after all! :shrug:


:hi:

[Aristus]

3. Care to guess how long it will be before some recently divorced right-winger sues the state

of California, blaming the state for "ruining his marriage by allowing gays to wed"?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

2. i've decided to beat the GOP'ers at their own game

i think this should be our new chant

[Aristus]

4. I like it. Really paints the bigots into a corner, doesn't it?

:hi: lioness! :loveya:

[NewJeffCT]

27. I might change that a bit

If you don't believe in freedom & equality, then the terrorists have won.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

29. you people keep putting nuances. remember we lose elections because we believe in nuances

from now on, its my way or you are a terrorist

[NewJeffCT]

30. yes ma'am

they're terrorists.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

31. thank you. from now on all my arguments are going to be nuance free

either you are with me or a terrorist.

:)

:hi:

[NewJeffCT]

32. hmm

somehow I don't think that'll work with my wife.

[lost-in-nj]

5. Yeah but

have you let Mrs. Aristus read MSM???


there in lies the REAL test......

Good luck grasshopper


:hi:



lost

6. The only logical conclusion is one of you had a sex change at some point.

And the result is that your marriage is immune to the anti-straight-marriage rays from the same-gender marriages.

:D

[mcctatas]

7. I know, Mr. mctatas was amazed that our marriage license

and wedding album did not immediately burst into flames! And I don't think anyone's tried to marry a dog yet (sorry Rick Santorum)

[Radio_Lady]

21. Does it count if someone's ex-husbands were... DOGS?

Not literally, but just in the vernacular.

[mcctatas]

22. I think that would be a no...

because they were probably not dogs when first married (or they kept their doggishness well hidden), therefor, any morphing after said nuptials occurred are not covered on the Santorum Insane Douchebaggery Act of 2005;)

[Radio_Lady]

23. You're right about that...

I should have just let them dry-hump my leg -- that would have been sufficient. But I married them instead...

My bad.

:rofl:

[mcctatas]

38. That's funny....

I married my husband to get him to stop dry-humping my leg :evilgrin:

[NewJeffCT]

26. Are you sure one of you is not lusting after a box turtle or something?

I mean, it's the end of the world.

[mcctatas]

39. It may be the end of the world, but even as the gates of hell

creak open to swallow me up, I will never lust after any critter that doesn't at least have fur;)

[littlebit]

8. Give it time

I was told last week that god was showing his wrath by flooding the Midwest and setting CA on fire. He hasn't had time to get around to destroying marriages yet.

[LeftyMom]

16. He must get pissed at us every summer then. More in drought years.

It's almost like a natural phenomenon, and he's not even there at all. How odd... :think:

[Nickster]

9. Not feeling it here yet.

[mainegreen]

10. My wife was cranky today. Personally I blame gay marriage.

What else could possibly be the cause?

[NewJeffCT]

28. Oh, good one!

Next time my wife yells at me, I can blame gay marriage!

[nytemare]

11. It is the sanctity of your marriage that was affected...

Not just the marriage, but the sanctity of it.

:D

[rockymountaindem]

12. That's because you live in Washington

Fortunately, the ill-effects of gay marriage have not found a way to permeate state lines :sarcasm:

[Missy Vixen]

15. We're in Washington, too

So far, so good.

We'll celebrate fifteen years of wedded bliss in September.

I guess I'm curious to know about this whole "sanctity of marriage" thing when it's possible for a heterosexual to go to Vegas and marry another heterosexual for 55 hours.

[sarge43]

25. "Sanctity of marriage"

ie divorcing because the spouse has cancer or gained weight. Yuppers.

[DarkTirade]

13. You live a few states away, give it some time for the ripple effect to reach you.

:P

[skygazer]

14. I am in California and wish to report that my marriage remains intact

:patriot:

[harmonicon]

17. I got an email from my parents today that was just blank

I could assume that it's because they're old and sometimes really fail at things like email (they're not dumb, but email isn't something they use everyday either), but I'm pretty sure that it was their subtle way, by sending the blank message from their joint email account, to let me know that their marriage of 42 years had now been rendered completely void of meaning.

[Radio_Lady]

19. Some day you will be old and you will send someone a message like this:

[harmonicon]

36. you don't think I already do?

I'm not even old, but I'm still absent minded.

[Arugula Latte]

18. Against all odds, we just celebrated another Hetero Wedding Anniversary.

I didn't think we'd make it after Teh Gay Vibes seeped up over the border from Cali. *Whew*

[Radio_Lady]

20. Yeah, I know what you mean. Almost 36 years with the same guy,

he's so straight he makes an arrow look curved!!!

No problems with those other folks who went to Canada or California to marry. Massachusetts? Oregon? I guess all of those marriages are null and void. What a pity!

Live and let live. Love is where you find it!

Cordially,

Radio Lady in Oregon

[sarge43]

24. Yeah, just checked under the bed covers to see if the hubster had split.

He's still here.

[ismnotwasm]

33. We seem to be doing just fine as well

All quiet

[Courtesy Flush]

34. The shock wave hasn't reached our state yet

Our 25th anniversary is in August. I hope those married gays don't fuck it up for us.

I can see it now -- an hour before our anniversary, and BAM! marriage goes out of style!

[Rosie1223]

35. 24 years married today (Yeah!)

As far as stresses in my life, my husband leaving me for another man now that he can get married in California isn't even on the radar.

[LynneSin]

37. I was fully expecting that I would be married to my pet cat by week's end

but at last we're still just pals!

[LostinVA]

41. Well, you survived my wedding

You're safe.

[Lil Missy]

40. Uh oh! As a gay, I am feeling this irresistable urge to screw small animals now.

:wow: :wow: :wow:

[applegrove]

42. I heard a gay couple was moving in near the end of your street. Are you still

claiming to be unaffected?:sarcasm:
