Would your wife brain you if you gave her a dozen roses that looked like this?

[DrewKaree]

I get the feeling my wife would laugh her ass hat off, but I still wouldn't get "credit" for a stellar bouquet of these

[Bones]

I never give Mrs Bones roses but I do give her a quality ---tallywhacker---.

You're more of a man than I am...I wouldn't be able to stand her sleeping with a man ho  j/k

[Bones]

You can't see but I am actually pointing to my crotch in response to the man ho comment....

[RayB]

At first I thought that was the coolest thing in the world--Looked like it was made of brushed steel.

Then I saw the filename...

[shmokes]

It is pretty impressive work, afterall. 

[Goz]

One thousand an two uses for duct tape

[ErikRuud]

No, I would not get credit for giving something like that to my wife.  I would probably get reminded about all the items on the honey-do list that would have been a better use of my time.

On the other hand, if my kid's made that for her, she would love it.   

[Stingray]

I actually did make my wife some roses out of paper and wire once (she still has them). I got full credit, my wife is cool. I wish I would have thought of duct tape though, that one is way cooler.

"brain you"


WTF does that mean?

Hit you in the head with a blunt object until your brain becomes landscape.

ahhhhhh

heheh


Then... Nope.

I am fairly certain I would get treated most kindly for such a gift.

Of course...

The chances of it coming out looking that good, with me making it, are pretty unlikely, so maybe I would get brained after all.


[EDIT]

Also... It depends on what the circumstance is. If I was trying to give it to her as an "I love you and was thinking of you" gift, then I imagine I would come out substancially better, than if I were giving it to her as some sort of pathetic "I'm sorry" gift.

[Stingray]

I find that buying my wife pretty much anything with no occasion will earn me mucho points.

-S

[Effayy]

Hell, I just recently bought my wife a copy of Myst V without occasion, and I'm still collecting on those points!

Quite possibly, I have the coolest wife in the world.

I'm trying to figure out (and I think since I typed it out, I know the answer ) if this is a situation of versapak being a whippersnapper (Stingray'll explain that one to you as well) or Stingray being as old as me, hence his ability to know EXACTLY what that old-fogey phrase was.

What a humdinger!

[versapak]

I am 29, so I have not "quite" hit old-fogey status yet.

With 3 kids, I have certainly felt it creeping up on me though. As long as you keep giving me signs to look out for, then just maybe I can keep ahead of it.

[duffjr]

i first read the title as would your wife f your brains out if...

[shmokes]

I ain't never heard the term before this thread.  I guess at 27 I'm still a bit of a young'un, though.  My dad's like 70, though.  Never heard him (or anyone else, for that matter) say it before. 

Personally, I think Drew made it up and the only thing it has to do with old people is that without his early onset alzheimers he would probably never have "thought" of it.

[DrewKaree]

I'd cyber-punch you if I could remember who you are and what we were talking about that caused me to become.....hello, I'm DrewKaree, and welcome to the forum!

[Stingray]

...at 27 I'm still a bit of a young'un...

Funny, I had you pegged at closer to the 20, 21 range. Turns out I'm only 8 years older than you. I guess on the internet 35 drops you squarely in the old fogey range. I don't have any kids though, so I can still act as imature as I want. Plus I can walk through the house naked, which I only mention so that everyone can have that mental image in their head this morning.

jesus..don't you guys ever watch the Three Stooges?  I think they invented that term!

I'm sure they didn't, but they said it a lot.  I knew exactly what you meant.  I'm 30.

Allroy

[ChadTower]

Alas, they barely ever even show the Three Stooges anymore.

[Stingray]

HA! Good catch, that's surely where I've heard the term.

and if you ask me..that's what's wrong with this country. 

W. took the stooges off the air cuz they made him look stupid.

Allroy

[Stingray]

That's funny, I see them on the weekends now & then. Not sure what channel, but they're on fairly often.

[ChadTower]

That's because you're still getting signals sent in 1987.

all you guys are getting married early.  i figured 35-40 for both of you.

and this is my 2nd marriage....hard to believe the first one got sick of me.

I forgot to say that this was a joke.  I don't have any non biased sources.  I just made it up because I thought I'd get a laugh.   I chuckled....mission accomplished.

I DO have kids, and can do the exact same things you brag about.  The only difference is that in my house, I get many more funny looks than you.  I figure if they think I'm nuts now, they'll never realize when I become senile

[duffjr]

i've been watching the drew carey show lately.  i'm trying to stay one step ahead.

[DrewKaree]

I saw them when they were originals.  I also saw him perform a few times.  You're taking one step forward and I'm shoving you two steps back. 

Now if I could get some motivation for yet ANOTHER project, I'd brew my own beer in the garage too.  I can see it now:

Step 1)  Get a garage

i've been watching la galaxy games.

won't this make people drunker?  wouldn't that make you all crazy if your heart rate is trying to slowdown and speedup at the same time?

[Stingray]

wouldn't that make you all crazy if your heart rate is trying to slowdown and speedup at the same time?

How would you be able to tell the difference?

-S

[ChadTower]

When it fails, that's how.

Of course, while caffeine speeds up the heart, alcohol does not slow it down.  Alcohol slows down CNS function, not necessarily cardiovascular.

(blah blah yes when your CNS slows down, so does the heart, but really only marginally, and even then only when your CNS is near failure)

[Stingray]

So where's my caffinated brewski?

-S

[ChadTower]

I tried some new Budweiser stuff with caffeine a few weeks ago.  Tasted like a red bull. 

[Stingray]

I'd try it if it weren't Bud, which is barely drinkable as is.

[ChadTower]

This actually tasted a little better than Bud, but it came in one of those small brightly colored energy drink cans.

I mean, who wants an 8oz beer.  Morons.
