Default OT: Targan's radio silence

Just letting you all know that from tomorrow I will be away from the forum for most if not all of the next week and a half. I'm off to the other side of the continent to get married. Please direct any requests/inquiries/derogatory comments regarding my possible parentage etc to my fellow mods during this period.

That's right, some crazy lass is making an honest man out of me. It's been a lovely f'n war, gentlemen. Bravo 2-6 out.

Congratulations Targan.

Insert cynical comment on marriage here.............

I'm very pleased for you. I hope you have a long and happy future together.

Bloody hell!
You didn't put up much of a fight did you? Where's biological and chemical weapons? What about the nuke you've had stashed in the back shed "just in case"?
What's worse is you're coming over to my side of the country to do the dastardly deed too! Obviously too ashamed of yourself to do it where all your friends might see....

Congratulations.

after this week I will be away for about the same time for the much less fun aspect of training cadets.

There's a fine line between "training" and "torturing" them...

Targan is obviously under some insidious biological weapon's psychochemical effects--probably pheromone-based.
We must mount a mission to free him from this hormonal bondage!
Don't forget the MOPP suits--they may have more than one pheromone-dispensing units in his vicinity, and we can't afford to fall under their influence!

Marriage is likely to make you less honest, unless you think walking away from "Does this make me look fat?" will result in less pain. No, my friend, you are about to enter a new realm of falsehoods. On the plus side, harmony-preserving lies make the world go 'round, so there's little need to feel guilty. I, for instance, am right now researching ways to teach basic math to toddlers. See how easy that is?

Congratulations on joining the brotherhood of monogamous truth-bending.

Ian

Best wishes to you and the future Ms. Targan!!!

Couple of questions.....

You will let us know when she is in the same room so that we can TRY to get our best manners (BUUUURRRRRPPPP) ready??

From one married man to a soon to be married man.....

The two best words to use during ANY discussion with the future Ms. Targan..

YES, DEAR!!!!
