LOL!

What

A

Pu$$y

[Phranqlin]

Pussy indeed.

His ex-fiancee dodged a bullet, that's for sure.

[MONKEY JERK]

THIS STORY IS SO HOT I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE IT ON CNN TONIGHT.

Man "will you marry me?"
Woman "yes!!!"
Man "ok, I think I'll go take a swim now"

Not enough info in this story...I'd like to hear his explanation, I'd like to see what she has to say. She's probably damn glad she didn't marry the wuss.

[elchampino]

Taking into account some of my ex-girlfriends, I can sympathize.

[G-Man]

Having your fiancee fake his death to avoid getting marriage. That has to be a knock to the ol' self esteem.

But I agree with above comments. What a wuss!!!

I wonder what size ring she got...

maybe a ring around the tub.......

[lynn]

they should just leave him in north carolina.

i hope the woman does not welcome him back with open arms -- was she do bad he couldn't just say, lets live in sin together?

[Lambiepie]

give the guy a break
it must be difficult to swim far without a spine

has he had kids since then...that would be criminal

[USMerc]

Nah, Lambiepie....not that difficult...look at the jellyfish...He just kinda oozed up into the Carolinas....

[jasmine]

Girl: Wanna get married?
Guy: Not so much, really. Let's go grab a burrito.

It's that easy! You dont have to marry her, you don't have to fake your own death AND you get a tasty burrito!

[nellagain]

Jas,

Such a simple sensible suggestion.

are you sure you're hanging with the right bunch?

[A.V.]

He looks like he's actually been dead for 20 years.

Could they fix him up with that wacko runaway bdige from Geawgiah?

[Mikey]

A.V, I was thinking the same. At least she's from a rich Fam. That should be a draw to any coward.

[Anna]

After seeing the mugshot...
His Bride totally made out in this deal!
This guy does not age well at all!
Yes, he is a wimp - but more like an a$$hole...
How many people did he cause to suffer thinking that he was dead? Inexcusable.
There are much better ways he could have chosen to resolve this problem.
Lock him up & throw away the key.

[Tough Real Man]

Lots of comments from tough real men here who get pleasure out of calling other men cowards and wimps for some reason.

Man--that chick must have been a real piece of work, for him to go to such extremes--of course to go to such extremes, I would guess he's a Grade A douche, too. Farmer Bob In the City, where, oh, where, are you, when we need you???

[Drake Timbershaft]

I'm not even sure why, but this story has made my day. I just love it on so many levels. It's a classic story. Man meets girl, man falls in love with girl, man fakes his own death to avoid wedding. Can you even imagine the thought process that went into this? "Huh, I really don't want to marry her. Maybe I should just tell her, as unpleasant as that might be. Nah, I'll just fake my death, move away, get a new job, find a new home, and completely rebuilt my life from the ground up. That sounds MUCH easier."

Lucky for her. He looks like catch and release material to me. Can't imagine what a catch he would have been 20 years ago, but yikes...he's pretty buggly right now...

[twerp]

Either that chick is damn scary or her family is. Either way that's effed up.

[A.V.]

"He looks like catch and release material"

I believe that, in this case, that would be snatch and release.
