Ah, Eternal Love. What woman could say no to a man on one knee, holding open that special box, with this ring inside?

There's something familiar about that design butt I don't know what it is.

Thanks, ufez, I just sprayed a mouthful of water over my monitor.

any woman who turns this down is totally anal.

If one of the tiny hands had a ring itself, that'd be very meta indeed.

(Also: BWAHAHAAHAHAAHAHAHA)

Oh. my. sweet. lord. Do they even know? They can't know. But it would be even more pants-wettingly funny if they did. (Also, thank you ej for the stunningly vivid visual of you following that link and spitting water all over your monitor. That made it even better.)

Goat. See?

Oh, so that's what "Claddagh" means!

Wilder: ring size conversion chart. Looks like you're an 8.

I dislike the ring because it's ugly.

It took me a minute to get the goatse reference, but now I dislike it even more.

I honestly don't know if she'd brain you or fall over laughing, ufez. But I'm laughing my ass off imagining the initial jaw drop.

That certainly is a "modern" take on the claddagh...

Claddagh? Well, it gets mighty lonely just watching sheep all day on the moors.

William Wallace: Sons of Scotland! I am William Wallace.
Second Soldier: William Wallace is seven feet tall!
William Wallace: Yes, I've heard. Kills men by the hundreds. And if HE were here, he'd consume the English with fireballs from his eyes, and bolts of lightning from his arse.

Lightning... or .jpg's?

ok, so braveheart's a scottish tale... it's still a celtic thing.
