Cheating when the wife leaves

[Ixnay]

Wife went to see her family in the Philippines for 3 weeks. What to do, what to do. Race home from the airport, throw pillows around, hang some clothes up, and listen to the results, that's what! Yes, this actually gets ugly for real, but I have never heard G olden Earring jump off the wall, live in front of me like this in all of my years.

Try it. Take a chance. Ok, so gobsmaked applies here.

Great idea for a thread. Now I know this is not a male sword fight but...
I like to bring the big boys out into the driveway and invite those friends over my wife doesn't like.
She's sure to hear about it through neighbourhood gossip. That's good because it limits her time away, and at my age I need her around to call the ambulance or start resuscitation if you know what I mean. ;-)
Oh, and that's not a fire escape, that's so the guys have a shorter distance to get upstairs to the kegerator. It's also for entertainment after we tap the second keg of the evening and lock the front door. Sure you lose a few to attrition but hey we're all in this together right? Take one for the team?

 

[Ixnay]

CW,

I can't quit laughing. Yes, yes, it has to be like this once in a blue moon. I mean, crap I know that it is there somewhere in the marriage contract. She said today, "Honey, I already miss you." And I respond before I think, "That's because your at the airport (and uncomfortable) and I am home." Fortunately, afte this many years, she gets my humor, or maybe I have been eating Friskies tuna sandwiches all these years. Dunno.

 

[Mark Johnson]

Get a second kegerator for the downstairs.

 

[boswald]

We used to buy Figaro brand tuna for our cats(and dogs), under the label we would find all sorts of brand labels of tuna for people.
It turned into a game, guessing what was underneath.

 

[Ixnay]

so, for all we know, dolphin has been the catch of the day, in spite of what the label says.

It's a big step moving into the third dimension with your speaker. It's not a big deal until you start getting ahead in other areas. Considering power and directivity changes the way you design speakers, but once you hear what is possible it becomes the new focus.

 

[Ixnay]

We don't always get it right, and speaking for myself, I always want to add another layer, often resulting in the loss of what was gained. Still fascination for this has been constant since I was very young.

 

[AllenB]

Yes, peeling back the layers (of various kinds of distortion) should make things simpler but sometimes it's difficult to accept what's underneath. It is usually still a step in the right direction, even though it can feel like a step backwards.

 

[Cal Weldon]

Get a second kegerator for the downstairs.

Don't mind if I do.

 

[Cal Weldon]

And for those still conscious, one in the man cave.

 

[6L6]

Awesome

 

[Mark Johnson]

All those kegerators mean: you can now put away the ladder.

 

[Cal Weldon]

What, and ruin the entertainment?

 

[gpapag]

When I 'll grow up, I want to be like Cal

George

 

[Cal Weldon]

Well George, like my good friend Jimmy Buffett likes to say:
If you never grow up, you never grow old.
And he should know. He was born at a really young age.

 

[gpapag]

Oh Cal
You confirm my suspicion that me and Mr. Buffett are living in different worlds



George

 

[tomchr]

I just refuse to grow up. I mean... What's the point? What really is in it for me? Then I'd have to act all adult and that doesn't seem any fun.

Tom

 

[Cal Weldon]

me and Mr. Buffett

I suspect that includes both of the most famous ones.
One is a billionaire and the other?
Well, as of the Forbes 2023 list, the other is too. Congratulations Jimmy. I guess playing drunken Carribean rock & roll/folk/country music can get you somewhere.

I should have started earlier I guess.

 

[Cal Weldon]

Then I'd have to act all adult

I tried that once Tom. Take it from me, it's not all it's cracked up to be.
I was no longer allowed to fart in elevators and that really cut into my cheese.
