I'm back from my marriage induced hiatus to say "howdy" to my dtoid brethren. Glad to see that everything is still running smoothly in my (probably) unnoticed absence.
I got married two weeks ago to my girlfriend of almost three years. Not to go all MySpace on you guys, but I couldn't be happier or more excited about life at this point. We took our honeymoon in Banff, Canada. I highly recommend Canada for vacationing, and our Canadian dtoiders should be proud of their fellow citizens, as everyone we met was incredibly nice and cool. If you make it to Banff, check out the Bison (restaurant). They have the best chili that I have ever tasted, and everything else there is tasty as well.
Married life is going to soak up my gaming funds until my lovely wife gets a job (waves lovingly at the slightly out of reach box for Assassin's Creed), but other than that I'm still the same Fuzzy that you know and love, except that I'm getting laid more regularly. The wife is not a gamer per se, but she supports my gaming, and is mildly excited about my copy of Super Mario Galaxy that is in the mail.
A few dtoiders sent me invites to play CoD4 on Friday night, but I had to pass as I was splitting games with my brother-in-law (cool guy) and cooking hot wings in my brand new deep fryer. Sorry about that, Snaileb. I still love you.
I'm gonna wrap this up by saying that everyone needs a deep fryer. You can fry anything. I battered and fried a milky way (a la king of the hill) and it was delicious. Sam's sells 10 lb bags of frozen wings for $14 that cook up just as good as your favorite wings joint. I have named my deep fryer Trogdor the Burninator (I know it's unoriginal, but I love it). Please add suggestions of other foods that I should try to deep fry. Potato Chips are on the list already.
I'm glad to be back and look forward to catching you guys online soon.
*EDIT* I forgot to mention that the brand new deep fryer was a wedding gift. Getting married is like hitting the lotto jackpot if you own a house and need stuff for it. I highly advise getting married to get free stuff. It was about time all of my friends paid me back for all of the money I spent on their weddings. Seriously though, get a fucking deep fryer. You won't regret it.
I'll post the story of the bachelor party later this week, complete with biting strippers.

What a mindfuck!
Welcome back, dead man...
Try frying up corn on the cob, it is excellent.
-twinkies
seriously try to make your own funnel cake, its amazingly easy, and always delicious.
congrats on married.
Now a few questions:
When I fry corndogs, do I have to keep the stick out of the oil, or can I just toss 'em in the basket?
Do I have to batter the twinkies?
Anyone have a good tempura batter recipe? What temp does it have to be to flash fry it?
I'm currently using vegetable oil. Any frying pros want to suggest other/better oils to use?
I would love to be all badass and say the deep fryer, but being married is the better of the two. You can't have sex with the deep fryer (safely), but the wife can work the deep fryer. Advantage: marriage
you can get the corndog sticks in the oil, they won't melt. yes you do have to batter the twinkies, with pretty much the same batter you'd use to make funnel cakes. this batter can also be placed on oreos, which can also be fried.
if you're doing meats, particularly white meats (chicken, turkey, pork) try peanut oil.
Glad you made it back safe, budd-eh. I wish many years of happiness in your new found love. Man.. everyone around me is getting married.
way to not be a douche and say deep fryer
Oh and congrats on being married. It's always good to hear a fellow gamer happy with married life. Makes it easier for me when that time comes.
Also congratulations.
If I'm dead, then ima haunt 'cho ass. This ghost will try to catch you on CoD4 or H3 later this week.
@Kryptinite
Thanks for the well wishes. I'm living proof that most gamers are happy, well adjusted (not really) adults. I hope when that time comes that you're as happy as I am.
@MaxVest
Marriage is still better, but that is pretty damn cool. Those wacky Japanese.
Also, grats on getting laid
Btw: I had to keep myself from drooling after reading about deep-fried Milky Ways. Hot damn!
