Facebook ‘marriage’ killed the dinosaurs

Thompson's Tidbits
Published Wednesday, January 16, 2008
Over winter break, I got engaged to the most wonderful woman in the world. It was certainly a happy and joyous occasion. Unable to contain myself, I promptly updated my Facebook profile to proclaim my elation to all the world. However, upon returning to campus, the joy was somewhat diminished by a single haunting question asked by the many well-wishers of the Brian Thompson Fan Club. “Are you really engaged, or just Facebook engaged?” Of course I am really engaged!

Way to trade up from Coldworm the Burrower. Did she give you a unique staff, too?

I take deep offense at the frivolous comments of Mr. Thompson and the cowardly anonymous contributor published above. Since Mme. Coldworm the Burrower's removal from Facebook, she and I have enjoyed a loving, committed monogamous relationship. After reading each other's profiles on EHarmony.com, we found that we shared many interests, from musical appreciation of the world's greatest band, Dragonforce, to outdoor activities like burrowing. I am also immune to cold - it was just one of those zany coincidences!!! I have never taken more joy in a relationship than the day she asked me to fertilize her many maggot eggs in her grand Maggot Lair (level 3). Our brood has grown steadily since early May, and we continue to be happy in our true love. I have never asked her for the Staff of Kings, but plan on presenting her with the Horadric Cube this Saturday at Scoozi and asking her appendage-less body in marriage.

So happy to hear of your bliss. Are you two planning to renovate, then? It would be a great improvement: I love the Lair's spacious atmosphere, but the rest of your nest is far too cramped for my minions to travel easily. It really cuts down on the frequency of my visits.

Sincerely,

Loot-seeking Necromancer
