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

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

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.

 

[dvdelf]

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.

 

[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.

 

[dvdelf]

I agree. This forum does make one feel very welcome

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.

 

[dvdelf]

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

 

[dvdelf]

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

 

[mrshfromjersey]

Mmmmm....Sees Candies!!!

[dvdelf]

[Jeff Westover]

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

 

[dvdelf]

[Jeff Westover]

[mrshfromjersey]

I'm not suprised

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

 

[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.

not so much a love story (Readers Digest Condensed Version)

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!!!!
