Jul 16 2010Wife Has Custom USB Wedding Ring Made For Microsoft Game Developing Husband
Microsoft Game Studios Software Development Engineer Ray Arifianto's soon-to-be wife had this custom USB wedding band made for him. Why? Because flash memory is the language of looooove. Psyche, it's actually COBOL C++.
The gold ring isn't actually a functional USB drive, but its design is reminiscent of one. The interior is engraved with the words, "For a lifetime of memories," an allusion to the USB's storage capabilities. Aww!
Shouldn't it actually go on the thumb? Get it?! You know it's a really beautiful thing when two people decide to share their lives together. Unfortunately, there's something about me that sends all my relationships packing. BUT I THOUGHT WE SHARED SOMETHING SPECIAL! And I'm not just talking about clothes.

Inserting the drive is a metaphor for sex?

A lifetime of memories? But a USB flash drive only have a life expectancy of about 10 years. But I'm guessing in about three years he'll del *.* or reformat the drive, or like most of us, misplace that thing in 2 weeks.

This is unacceptable. Only if the contents are an intimate film made on your honeymoon.

That's the most beautiful thing I have ever heard. I would break out in tears if I had a girlfriend who got me a ring like that. Er, I mean kiss her and ravage her sexually.
