One Engagement Ring to Rule Them All

I was catching up with the latest Facebook nonsense this morning when I ran across a profile picture of a recently engaged acquaintance. She looked fantastic in the pic, yet one of her “friends” (read: gold digger) felt the need to comment, “nice pic. Switch it out for one that more prominently showcases THE RING.”

Hmm… maybe it’s just me… but… does this remind you a little bit of:

One Ring to rule them all,
One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all
and in the darkness bind them.

Creepy McCreeperson. Why the female obsession with THE RING, anyhow? I mean, I love my engagement ring and all, but last I checked, it hasn’t done anything but sit and look pretty on my finger.

Hmm… Maybe I just haven’t given THE RING enough credit. Let’s experiment…

I took THE RING out to the kitchen and placed it on the stove. I then asked it to make me a cup of tea. I even went so far as to get the freaking tea bag out of the cabinet- I’m that nice of a person. No dice. And no tea.

I then asked THE RING to pay my Macy’s bill. Ten minutes later, nothing.

As my final test, I have asked THE RING to finish this blog entry.
