page six

eric, pictured here in the throes of trying to figure out how it should all go down, popped the big Q yesterday. there’s a hyphenated last name in his future! the full story is more ultimate than casual due to the nerves and crying involved, and you can read all about it here. he took advantage of chicago’s 1000park and the iconic bean as background (and metaphor). i feel like there are going to be/have been but we don’t know about proposals there; perhaps we’ll have to call the next generation of chicagoans “bean babies” (maybe a little too close to beanie babies?).

i’m sorry, i want to be happy for you, but even the casual
suggestion of hyphenation has made this entire union suspect. i dearly hope that this gets rectified tout suite. in
all other ways i wish the future mr. and mrs. abando well.

mr. tbrizzle: i assure you, the hyphenation was a casual editorial comment; eric was in no way consulted. thank you for your continued readership.

No. No hyphenation. However, with my technical background, I might consider an underscore or a dot. I mean it’s argao-abando, argao_abando, argao.abando. And wow, that’s a lot of A’s.

That ladies and getlemen is excitement on sarah’s face. I haven’t seen her that happy since our wedding day. Oh wait, hold on….

How about a fusion like Argabando, or Argando, or Abangao, or Argbandao, or Abargaoando, or ANABOARDAGO from the anagram engine? the possibilities are endless…
