I almost regret being the first tubenetter to propose marriage to the lovely and talented Ms. Carol. She may have an aversion to pot-bellied old geezers or laugh at my pathetic attempts to woo her.
But you never know until you try. She might find me amusing or super-talented. (Might!)
I mean no disrespect but I have this powerful urge to buy her a house.

Then there was the middle section of the English "art" song I sang at state contest as a freshman in high school, for which I received a "I" rating, of course:
"Dispair gives courage oft to men and if she smile, why then?
Why then? And if she smile...Why then? Why then? Why then! Why Then!...."
"Dispair gives courage oft to men and if she smile, why then?
Why then? And if she smile...Why then? Why then? Why then! Why Then!...."

Which females would those be (present company excepted, of course). There is only a handful of ladies on Tubenet, at least who have identified themselves as such.tubalawlisa wrote:...but I have to wonder as a logical person, why don't the females who frequent this board jokingly reference marriage to attractive young male tuba players on a regular basis?
And at least one of them hasn't been uninterested in male tuba players.
Come to think of it, young male tuba players who have 1.) displayed extraordinary talent and maturity, and 2.) are photogenic are about as small a handful as the ladies.
But everyone knows the proposals are in jest, because tuba players only marry flute players.

I'd take this a step further. I much prefer girls/ladies who are at least a little bit sissy.Rick Denney wrote:That was her question.J Stowe wrote:Why would it be bad for a girl to play flute if it's sissy? I mean.. isn't that the point?

When we were dating, she mentioned to me that she needed a new car. Since she sold chemicals at the time, I suggested a small pickup truck so her samples would not find their way into the air she had to breathe all day. She looked at me and said, "I can't drive a truck. I'm a girl."

Actually, it might work out OK (if they don't mind their progeny growing up to be ophicleide players -- or was that what you were referring to?TubaRay wrote:You might want to contemplate that one for quite a while, Ralph.

The combination you really want to avoid is sax and violin(s)!

Let's just save time and add in our favorite lines from the "Who is Bloke" thread (changing the gender, of course). I'll start.pulseczar wrote:So who is this Carol Jantsch?
To paraphrase the elephant:
Did she abscond with the church funds? Run off with a senator's husband? I like to think she killed a man. It's the Romantic in me.
