A Tribute On Valentine’s Day

One of the privileges of having this site is my ability to pervert it for my own selfish ends. And I’m now taking that opportunity. This is a tribute to my Valentine, Mrs. OMWC aka SP, the person who has done all the heavy lifting to put this site together and keep our little group of friends from breaking it.

This a perfect libertarian woman. She can cook like a pro, code like two pros, and can like a pioneer farmer. She can save a life and do professional art and photography (her work has been exhibited world-wide). She can play three different musical instruments and sing. She can read Feynman, Searle, and Dennett, and thereby falsifies CP Snow. She can run spreadsheets and organizations. She loves my friends, even the difficult and complicated ones we’ve met through my commenting on Reason, and the techno-nerds whom I’ve surrounded myself with throughout my life. She’s charmed world-famous musicians into playing in our living room, and kept others from strangling me. She is an amazingly accurate shooter, just in case. She has that knack of getting people to open up to her while always leaving them with the impression that she’s on their side.

Awesome does not begin to describe her.

    Aww, happy Valentine’s Day to both of you.

    To SP!

    I really like this place. The Site That Shall Not Be Named felt like we were hanging out in the Cheers bar. This site feels like we’re sitting around a bonfire on OMWC and SP’s back porch chugging beer and shooting the shit.

    BARF!

    (Just kidding SP ;-))

      I joked as well, but really everyone should be made aware that just saying, “SP’s contribution” doesn’t even cover it. There would be no site, period, without her, and she deserves more than empty words. Words cost nothing. OMWC needs to buy her something nice.

        Something REALLY expensive

        1. Tundra

          I’m thinking something very shiny.

          Nice stuff, OMWC.

          Happy Valentines day to you both.

          Nah he needs to take her out for a nice steak dinner.

          1. Francisco d’Anconia

            Couldn’t agree more. They both need moar protein.

          2. Old Man With Candy

            You’d have been horrified at what we had for dinner.

    Nice! Thank you SP! I think you’ve got him trained. Keep him.

  5. SP

    Don’t be taken in by the flattery and flowery prose. He just thinks it will get him something later tonight.

      Rhymes with “snow lob.”

      1. Mad Scientist

        Slow sob?

        1. Old Man With Candy

          That’s afterwards.

  6. DEG

  7. Max Coins

    I can like a pioneer farmer too, if he’s a nice guy.

  8. Playa Manhattan

    And who is Max Coins?

    1. jesse.in.mb

      God, I always knew Playa Manhattan was just Vincent Adultman his profile pic 2/3 proves it.

        “Can you imagine that body in a swimsuit?!”

        1. jesse.in.mb

          I literally cannot.

        2. Old Man With Candy

          I have a photo of that. I’ve been using it to scare our dog.

    2. Max Coins

      I’m a long time lurker who was extremely saddened that many of my favorite commenters stopped providing me with quality free entertainment. Then this site happened, and I want to pitch in to hopefully make it better, since it is so much better than… um… that other one… 🙂

      I can troll if you want, but my heart won’t be in it.

      1. Old Man With Candy

        Wait until we’re done porting over all of SugarFree’s… ummmm… literary output.

        1. Max Coins

          I’ll stock up on the Charmin.
