HELP! The Better Half Is Getting Fed Up!?
TOK:
Let it sit there a while, she'll get used to it.
Either that, or get an even worse hobby to put things in perspective. After having 6 dirt bikes sitting around, my wife thinks arcade cabinets are something Martha Stewart would be into.

Interesting...
Perhaps collecting "souvenirs" from strip joints will let her see your side.
DrewKaree:
In the interests of saving your marriage, I will take that Joust machine off your hands for DOUBLE what you paid for it :angel:

Hahaha...she went with me to pick up the cabinet...and she had to admit it was one helluva find for $50.00. All my cabinets are in the garage so it's not an ugly issue. It IS a time issue...and I will have to make sure to spend a little more time with her and less in the ugly garage/arcade room.
My wife is actually pretty damn cool if I do say so myself...and once I put things in perspective (Honey, just imagine what I'd spend and how much time I'd spend if I were to have a HARLEY DAVIDSON!) she is all good.
As for this Joust...it DEMANDS to be refurbished...and once it is...I will likely sell it...give her half and use the other half to buy more arcade crap.
:cheers:

You know where you're at right?

Sure. And I know that my wife would not want me to have more than one in the house, which isn't especially unreasonable for the reasons I already stated. To put things in perspective, my cousin's wife collects these horrible, life-like and life-size dolls. They're like four feet tall, and look like they cost a fortune, considering how detailed they are. They're incredibly creepy and ridiculous. I wouldn't let my wife display even one of those in our apartment.
Y'all have to live with eachother. I stand by what I said. I love arcade games. I love arcade cabinets. That doesn't suddenly change the fact that they are ginormous eyesores that were never meant to decorate a home. Any married man who has four (or more) arcade cabinets in his home already has an extraordinarily accomodating wife.
