Hi dvdguy! Welcome to My Merry Christmas and our merry forums. We're glad you're here. I saw your other postings and hoped you'd stop by here and introduce yourself.

Are you merely a DVD collector or a seller of some kind?

We're always glad to have movie experts in our midst!

Jeff

[dvdguy]

just a collector. I enjoy the classics & the new as long as they are not junk :lol:

[caseydbell]

Welcome to the Merry Forums.

[sheepsnot]

Great to have you joining in on the conversation. We could always use a new point of view or at least confirmation that we aren't crazy.

[dvdguy]

not sure about the whole sanity thing, we are chatting about christmas in august. :-) nothing new for me mind you, but my wife thinks I'm crazy. :D

[sheepsnot]

I smell what you're stepping in. My wife wonders if I am slipping backwards to my childhood or if I have a MMC secret flame, but I just really love the fellowship.

[dvdguy]

I agree. This forum does make one feel very welcome

[sheepsnot]

Plus, Jeff has 30 lbs of candy samples in the back seat of his car and it's only a matter of time before he starts sharing.

mmmm candy. must make friends with Jeff.


Who's Jeff?

[Jeff Westover]

That would be me -- chief bottle washer here in these parts and in real-life I'm gainfully employed by See's Candies, thus making me artificially popular. Sheepsnot doesn't know that if he sends me a mailing address I can have some samples sent his way soon.

Jeff

[dvdguy]

hmm I am not familiar with your company, what types of candy?

[mrshfromjersey]

dvdguys wife knows about Sees candies. YUM

[dvdguy]

never mind the wife knows & now shes on the way to your house. Just offer her a glass of milk she'll run away, unless it has chocolate too, then your hosed

[Jeff Westover]

You don't know about See's? I'm surprised she married you!

[dvdguy]

sometimes I am too lol

[Jeff Westover]

ha! we can all say that, I suppose...

[mrshfromjersey]

I'm not suprised I married him!!! I knew I would the moment I saw him.
:o

[Jeff Westover]

Ok, out with it! There's a love story here we need to hear.

My wife had visions too. I love that. It made the whole process so much easier.

I wouldn't say it's a classic love story. Girl hangs with friends at Karoake bar. Boy walks in carrying a stuffed animal monkey. Girl likes what she sees. Girl is tired of making first move, so she "patiently" waits for monkey boy to make move. Apparently monkey boy is shy. Girl tells her friend, who is also friend of monkey boy, she really likes him. Friend does nothing. Girl tries to get monkey boy alone but some girl keeps following them around. Girl says she gives up on men in front of monkey boy. Girl makes bold first move - in front of what turns out to be monkey boys ex-girlfriend. Dating begins. Monkey boy asks girl to marry him on first date - though he doesn't remember this. Girl's family not too thrilled about her date. Girl fights for her right to be with monkey boy. Real marriage proposal on kissing bridge at renaisance fair. Engagement kept secret from girls family for a month and from monkey boys family for what seems like forever. Girl threatens to give ring back if monkey boy doesn't announce to family. Engagement finally out in the open. Date set. Plans made. Wedding day...beautiful but cold. DJ at wedding is same guy who ran karaoke where couple met. Best man sings wedding song to couple. Couple leaves on honeymoon. Girls family now LOVES monkey boy....girl made the right choice!!!!

[sheepsnot]

That's a great story. I laughed quite a bit, wondering why you were carrying a stuffed monkey. Any explanation?

[dvdguy]

ummmm
its a great way to meet chicks?

[AuntieMistletoeDear]

:welcome: Welcome DVDguy, I used to manage a VHS and Beta Video Store, ain't technology grand?

I see you have made yourself comfy and I look forward to getting to know you as time goes on.

:D Great timing on your greeting Jeff!

:nice: What a great love story!

My brother is the Karaoke King in Ottawa. http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y273/AuntieMistletoe/AnimatedAnnouncer.gif He and his wife have a thriving business. They had a Karaoke Wedding.

[dvdguy]

thank you all, I have been enjoying this site for two days almost nonstop :)

[Jeff Westover]

Awesome story. I think we need to change someone's logon here from "dvdguy" to "monkeyboy". It seems to fit and it gives me an entire new mental image of your prince!

Here's our love story, in similar condensed reading style:

Dashingly handsome young man dates for 8 solid years, wanting only to marry and have children. Much heartache ensues. He reaches age 27, swears off women forever and walks in a rut so deep he cannot see over the top of it. Enter "the princess". She's a single mom, mother of a five year old. While visiting the babysitter (my sister-in-law) she sees a video of the dashingly-handsome-but-in-a-rut young man and hears angels sing. She goes home and makes two phone calls -- one, to the man she was dating. She broke it off. The other, to her mother to declare she has found her husband. The dashingly-handsome-young-man is setup about a week later. Three weeks later they are engaged, a few months later they are married, a nanosecond later they are pregnant, a decade later they have seven children...and still madly in love.

Who's next?

Jeff

[elfworks]

sigh.

[dvdguy]

awesome story. To tell the truth I have gone by that name before. Lately dvd guy because of the massive collection. Did I tell you I love that story? :grin:

[mrshfromjersey]

Sounds like Christmas lovers are romantics! Nice story Jeff. Just goes to show you that when the right one comes along...you know it.

I wish I knew of someone for ElfWorks, but the guys in NJ right now are...well....from NJ.

[elfworks]

I AM WILLING TO TRAVEL!!!!!



:D


xo

[dvdguy]

the majority of my friends are taken (though that hasnt stopped some of them from dating <smack>). It might take a while but when you find the one you'll know it

[mrshfromjersey]

I didn't mean that they are too far from you. NJ guys are just different. Anyway, we're moving to Florida in two weeks. I'll have to see if there's anyone free down there for you.

Match maker match maker....

[elfworks]

meant to ask this earlier... why are you moving to florida during hurricaine season???????????



xo

[mrshfromjersey]

We needed a little excitement in our lives. Actually, NJ is way too expensive.

[RavenHardt]

[sheepsnot]

Rather abrupt topic change there! 8) 8) 8) 8)

[Jeff Westover]

Yes. Pass the cheese.

[dvdguy]
