Nope. Not a sports guy am I. Watch
golf sometimes to see Tiger lose,
that's about it. Decided in 1970 that
watching sports was a phenom
waste of time, read books instead.


Sports teams are good for bets, to me nothing else.

It's jerking off with your brain and
attention, our ancestors would be
appalled at how much time we waste
with stupid crap like this. It's even
worse in other countries. A nothing
soccer game, just average play, can
get 200 million viewers worldwide.

I'm pretty close to your position on this. I rarely watching sports on TV except if there is an opportunity to appreciate the best in human beauty and athletics like women's figure skating. However, I do enjoy a live event from time to time. I've been trying to months to get anyone to go to a Knights game with me. I put down the interest in the more contact sports to our fascination with war. It is a fairly safe way to enjoy a mini conflict.

I am resigned to go to one Knights game this year. You are welcome to join me but my wife may tag along too. I believe you met her years ago when she worked for Kurt at Huntington Press.
At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent.

I love it when men phrase things
like this, like the wife is their kid
brother they're stuck dragging
around with them. Most of the
time the truth is, if she doesn't
go, he can't go. I have never seen
a marriage in my life where the
wife is not in charge 95% of the
time.

Always drove me nuts, the SO female had to tag along. Most of the time she did not even want to be there. Girls go out with their girlfriends all the time, guys never get to go out with their buddies.

They're insecure, they go to make
sure the guy doesn't cheat on them.
Like Leykis says, the better looking the
woman, the more insecure they are.
The few 10's he dated were basket
cases emotionally, needy and making
constant demands. Nobody can live
up to being a 10 and nobody knows
it better than an actual 10 herself.

I never got that close to a 10, but even
the 7's are clingy and demanding. No
thanks.

I think I go out with my buddies an average of twice a week during the year, more in the summer, less in the winter. I feel bad for you if you don't go out with your buddies. Why wouldn't you?

Didn't you say you were recently buying a wedding ring? That twice a week out with the buds, is coming to a halt near you.

I don't know his fiancee, but I know him some. If she thinks she's going to change him at his age, she's been deluded. If this is just razzing ahead of the wedding, go for it.
