If über-geek Chris Pirillo can marry the funny, intelligent, and beautiful Ponzi, then there is hope for geeks, nerds, and dorks the world ’round.
Congrats Chris and Ponzi! Woohoo!

You may now start placing your bets on how long it will take for Chris to come comment here.
Or does it only work if his name is said three times? Well, to be sure:
Chris Pirillo
Chris Pirillo
Chris Pirillo
That should do it.
Oh yeah, congratz to Chris and Ponzi!

From what I could ascertain, Chris’s first wife was was good looking too. There is more to it than looks. Both of my wives were very good looking. I am now single.
Here’s wishing Chris and Ponzie a long, successful life together.

From one geek to another, congrats Chris!

Maybe you should take the advice of the Skatalites…
“If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife.
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you …”
PS: Congrat’s to the newlyweds.

I don’t know…sounds like a Ponzie scheme to me.

On behalf of geeks who have married stunning women (in my case, a model), let me say that this is not real surprise. Looks aren’t everything. I, for one, have a face for radio.

The interview you did with Chris was probably the funniest one I’ve heard -definitely entertaining. I guess that’s one of the reasons Ponzi loves him, because he makes her laugh. Good for them – ‘hope they have a nice, long future together.

hmmm, I may be among the minority, but I don’t see that Ponzi is all that beautiful. What I DO see is that her ‘upper structure’ is pretty tremendous, which seems to matter most to MOST guys!

When my son was four or five months old, I clearly recall while he was nursing, he turned his cute face toward me, nipple in mouth and grinned, as though to say, “Hey Pop, ain’t this great?”
Now you know why we’re always so interested in breasts,,,
