Very “2010″

We’ve been having a lot of the “so why don’t you marry it?” jokes going on around here. #2 has been trying desperately to catch his brother with this joke for a few weeks.

#2: “D’oh!”

Better luck next time, #2! ;)

I’m nervous, I’m excited, and I’m secretly glad that no one wanted to wait until Xmas morning to find out. Whose lame-O idea was it anyway to put it in an envelope so we could wait 9 days to find out? (Oh yeah, mine. Never mind…)
