Non-football related stuff that really makes your day

[Panoptes]

Plus I hear horror stories about seeing halos at night around street lamps, headlights, etc. The whole thing still spooks me.

As it should. Find yourself as the % that has it go wrong and youll end up at my wifes work begging for the retina surgeons to save what little eyesight you have left.

And the long term affrcts are still unknown. What about when you need an adjustment in later years and you dont have any more cornea to adjust bcz the laser shaved most of it away already.

No thanks. ill continue to wear my glasses and just say sorry to hear that to those that tell us about their halos, need for glasses one way or another still, etc.

Just had LASIK today. No more glasses.

Not till you need readers when you get over 50

Old Lady Flips The Bird In Couple's Proposal Photo



This incredible scene unfolded at a recent Colorado Rockies game. That's Kenny Lovelace proposing to his girlfriend, Molly Ryan, in the background. And that's a salty old lady wanting nothing to do with the romantic scene, in the foreground.
The picture was snapped by Molly and Ryan's wedding photographer, Kerinsa Mullins. She shed some more light on the story to WTOP:

As the special moment unfolded, Mullins says she continued to receive nasty stares from the older couple, whose view she obstructed.
"They kept yelling at me and I just ignored them because I was there to do a job and I did not want to miss something that would be so brief and so important," Mullins says.
Ryan said "yes" and fans nearby cheered for the couple — everyone but the older couple, that is.
They continued to look unamused by the event. In fact, unbeknownst to Mullins, another woman who was there with them retrieved a security guard because she couldn't get back to her seat.
Mullins says when the security guard arrived, the big moment was over and she happily moved out of the trio's way.
It wasn't until the next day that Mullins realized the unhappy couple left their mark on the photos.
"In about 20 of them, she and her friend are giving me the stink eye," she says.

And that's how the greatest proposal photo of all time came to be.

nice lady.......

[Malto Marko]

In defense, the lady did pay to see the game not be obstructed by someone taking pictures.

[froot loops]

Now thats a photo bomb right there.

[CGVT]

Fuck those stupid proposals.

Somebody needs to let these "romantic" fuck heads know that they are setting the bar impossibly high.

She is going to expect shit like this for the rest of the marriage. It is impossible to keep it up.

It's all downhill from here, Romeo.

[froot loops]

Come on Grinch

[LightninBoy]

There are a couple of empty fucking seats right in front of the narcissist couple where the photographer could move to get the picture. I don't blame the lady - I would be livid.

[Tony G]

Besides, the photographer should be catching her face, not his. The shutterbug should be viewing the couple behind the groom's shoulder, not hers.

[kayrone]

yep on both counts. what a shitty photographer!

Yup.

Grasshopper will learn when he is in Divorce Court in about 7 years.

[froot loops]

Tough crowd, no matter how bad you think the photographer is or how corny the proposal is, there's no excuse flipping the bird like. Its rude, that lady is rude and irksome She's not to be commended.

That is if this is real.

[Tony G]

There are a couple of empty fucking seats right in front of the narcissist couple where the photographer could move to get the picture. I don't blame the lady - I would be livid.

The problem with those two empty seats would be the choice of lenses. The photographer would have to change to a wide angle lens that would cause distortion. With the choice of lens it was probably a small telephoto, where you would be able to zoom in and capture faces, but then back out and capture what is going on around them, and seeing the crowds reaction.

The row the photographer is in appears to be empty, so the photographer would be able to shift. Start on one end, take a few steps to the right, change the angle, few more shots, move, shoot, move shoot. We are only seeing the one photo. Chances are there were several shots of her reaction, but we are only seeing the one image where the old battle ax is being a bitch.

Someone should have spilled a beer on that old lady, maybe next time she wouldnt be such an asshole. It isnt like anything exciting ever happens during a baseball game anyway. People should be excited that this guy gave them something to cheer about.


I agree with everyone else though, to propose at a game, yea, dumb idea.

Besides, the photographer should be catching her face, not his. The shutterbug should be viewing the couple behind the groom's shoulder, not hers.
