Sky can't be bothered to keep up with today's kids and their fancy computer jargon!

[Murgos]

Could have been really fancy touch screen monitors.

So, what we're saying here, is avoid Indiana. Noted.

I have already talked to my son about the "ball tapping" problem.  As would any father at some point.  I assumed.

From the "Why is this my fault, woman?" Department:

My wife says that her mom, once again, wants to know what to get me for Christmas.  She wisely thought I would want kitchen items.  Today I picked two things from williams-sonoma.com and two things from amazon.com (two versions of The Joy of Cooking), then just pasted these links into an email, one line each, with the subject "Gift ideas for your mom"... and the last link was simply www.dicktowel.com.  My wife gets this email and then forwards it directly to my mother-in-law without reading it.  She calls me to say the ensuing embarrassment is my fault.  Even assuming it is actually my fault that my wife does not read my emails, and sidestepping the temptation to point out that she complained about how I never read her emails JUST TODAY, I'm calling habeas corpus on this embarrassment.  Also, if I wanted to send the list to my mother-in-law without my wife reading it, I would have done so.

My wife was complaining to me about this and so I naturally asked if her mom was going to get me the dick towel.  Her brother thought that was hilarious.

Apparently you missed the marriage classes.  Rule #1: It's always your fault. 

[Yegolev]

I did miss them.  Furthermore, the OTJ training is not going well.

Well, free sex all the time makes up for it, right ?

Nothing is ever free.

[Selby]

Wait, when does this happen?

[Mortriden]

I was busy giving Heather my undivided attention. :)

She and the boy are doing great - we are just about to get out of here and head home for the first time.  Then the real fun starts!

Thanks for the kind words!

Totally late to the show, but Congrats! 

[Merusk]

Yeg, you continue to carry on the good fight.  Way to go, man. I agree with your brother-in-law.. that was fantastic.

[Nerf]

I really hope your mother in law gets you the dick towel.

[Strazos]

If so, we require a picture of your son wearing it.

Bonus points if you get two towels, and the picture has both of you wearing them.

Wow, are you in for a rude awakening.

Somewhat funny, related story:  When I was about 16, my grandfather passed on some sage advise while we were fishing and sharing a 6 pack of beer.  He said, "Son, when you get engaged, drop a penny into a jar everytime your fiance gives you some nookie.  When you get married, everytime your wife gives you some nookie, take a penny out of that same jar.  I'm 70, been married now for 50 years.  I'm still trying to get those damn pennies out of that damn jar."

[lamaros]

Sucks to be you.

Well, I do not plan to get married anytime soon. 

[Merusk]

Sucks to be you.

No doubt.  I'm continually amazed when I hear this stuff come up.

[murdoc]

At some point, I have to stop making poor decisions.

[SnakeCharmer]

Sucks to be you.

Relaying a story a 70 year old man told me 20 years ago makes it 'suck to be me' how, exactly?

[Yegolev]

I really hope your mother in law gets you the dick towel.

I have been assured that she will not.  Of course, I can't wear it around the house anyway.

Strazos get today's award.

[Cyrrex]

It occurs to me that the dick towel suggestion can both be awesome AND your fault at the same time.

And WTF Strazos?  Yes, by all means, let's have Yeg and his boy model the thing.  Won't that be sexy.

[Yegolev]

I would not mind letting it be my fault except for the "you don't read my emails" bit.  Actually I have to admit that the OJT is going very well, it's just that we have reached the point where I'm poised to strike her down and the transformation will be complete.  A major part of this is using her own sith-tricks against her.

[Khaldun]

  ...ball-tapping epidemic.

[stray]

Rule #1: It's always your fault. 

Why I can't seem to get my ass married.

[Strazos]

Sexy, no, of course not. Funny? Hell yes, in a sort of



lol-way.

[Rasix]

I'm punching you through the internet. 

[Pennilenko]

I'm punching you through the internet. 

So Schild did actually finish his machine........

[Strazos]

Oh come on, I cannot really be the only person who would be amused to see that.

And no, of course I wouldn't do it to myself or my kid, GEEZ.

2001 called and they want their schtick back.

edit. You need to bring out the Christmas Strazos Avatard.  Its the holidays!

[Lantyssa]

WTF?  It's snowing.

[Rishathra]

WTF?  It's snowing.

I was just thinking the same thing.  You're in Houston, right?

[Lantyssa]

Yep.  And it's sticking now.  Today should be fun.

[Evildrider]

Yep.  And it's sticking now.  Today should be fun.

Haha, you are all doomed.  When I lived in Houston, and it even got like littlest bit icy, people could not drive a damn there.

[Rishathra]

People can't drive worth a damn here as it is, so for me there's little difference.  Maybe I notch up the paranoia I constantly feel on the road a bit, but otherwise it's business as usual.
