A Very Maryniuk Marriage Written on November 4, 2008, by Zack.
Heyheyheyheyheyheyhey! Tomorrow is the big day! Time to find out if Obamarama will sweep the nation, or if instead I’ll have to immigrate to Canada! EXCITING TIMES! Since I voted last Saturday, I’ve got nothing to do tomorrow but sit on pins and needles and hope McCain supporters spontaneously combust at the polls (haha, I kid! It doesn’t have to be spontaneous).*
And speaking of flammable McCain supporters, my friends Jonathan and Krista were recently wed in Kelowna, BC, a beautiful town at the heart of the BC wine industry and home to Lord Chumley’s Seafood Restaurant (true fact!). My wife and I, together with a few friends, decided to turn the trip into a camping excursion, which was loads of fun once I muscled past my minor camping anxiety that – since I was asked to MC the event – was compounded by performance anxiety, and further exacerbated by my ever-present anxiety about existence in general. Along with me on this trip I brought a sketchbook I’ve dedicated to immortalizing precious moments, images from which I will now share.
Enjoy!
And mark this date: today’s the first time a Monday Sketcharoo features actual sketches!
*No, really I am only kidding. But please, I beg you, don’t vote for McCain.

I should have read this post yesterday! Had I done so I might have heeded your advice and not voted for McCain.
Oh crap, did you combust, Mark? Wait, are you on fire now?! MARK, WHATEVER YOU ARE DOING, STOP, DROP, AND ROLL! Unless what you are doing is illegally voting for McCain again. Then maybe you should just stand still…
Good memories!
I forgot about that comic. . . but I like it.
(Go Obama!)
Somehow I missed this post and the ducks that came for our wedding.
Dude, you did awesome as MC. We loved you. So did our family/friends. Thanks so much for overcoming your performance anxiety. You were a natural.
As for being flammable McCain supporters….don’t get your flames up too high! Both candidates disappointed. It is refreshing to see change though. Even if Obama is a closet socialist, sucka (evil laugh).
Luckily my Canadian citizenship didn’t hamper your Nov 4 O-basm. Although if you must know, I am not a McCain fan. But even less an Obama fan.
Oh, and you were a fantastic MC! We both appreciated it very much. Jonathan is right, we had lots of positive feedback. One guy even said he wished you had “let loose” and “not held back” even more.
Jono and Krista: Thanks! Glad to hear I didn’t ruin your wedding, it was an honor being apart of it (especially a part that didn’t necessitate renting a tux)! Also, yours guests only say they want me to let loose. If I had actually told may favorite joke, which takes about ten minutes to relate and has only an expletive for a punchline, I can easily imagine the wedding erupting into something akin to Guns and Roses’ “November Rain” video.
Also, “O-basm”? Good lord, the mouth on you!
