Who's out in Iowa city tonight?
- Thread starter Omahahawk86
- Start date
Wish I was...bastards. Anyways, my biggest hurdle now is to get my laptop to work tomorrow and use my phone's hotspot...all without getting caught. Luckily, I have my own office. I think my strategy is going to be to get noticed early walking around like I'm busy, then go in my office and lock the door. After 25 years, I only have eight more months and am so short that I have to look up to step up onto the curb so the expectations of me are generally low. The only thing is, I can't yell at the computer. Good thing is I am Quality Assurance, wear the black hat, so nobody usually tries to seek me out.
For NCAA's, my wife has already been notified that she is dead to me that weekend so she better take the opportunity to go visit Mom three hours away.
Damn I wish I was there. You all be safe, no DUIs, no getting caught pissing in PSU or tO$U fan's beer, leaving giant turds in their unlocked rentacars, or sprinkling their fries with painfully plucked pubes...that just isn't the Iowa way. This weekend's safety briefing is concluded. Go Hawks!!

Does the "you are dead to me" line work better than the others? I am trying to figure out a way to lower my wife's expectations of spending any time with me during the Bigs. I hate promising to do something later, because then I have to do something later.
PS.. What are you doing working on a Saturday?

He's working because the enemy doesn't take weekends off, mister.
Military...they tend to be jokers and have us come in on weekends from time to time.
Another one I use: "I am going up to Vegas with the boys to go drinking, gambling, and hit the strip clubs. No? Well I guess I can stay home in front of the laptops and watch wrestling all weekend. Please get the all the vacuuming in prior to the start and pre make me some sandwiches por favor. Oh, you're going to your Mom's that weekend? Well shit...I guess I can fend for myself."
Actually, my wife is pretty decent about these things. I let her know the NCAAs would be a perfect time to go see the Old Lady of Yuma. She agreed. Plus, I argued that football season and wrestling season are almost over and the dreaded "Dead Months" of going to lunches and shopping for good deals at Pottery Barn are nigh...always leave the with a little hope is my motto. Kind of like our chances for winning the title this year.
Thanks AZ. For some reason I feel smarter and totally optimistic about having a long and loving relationship with my wife, after hearing how it is done by a pro.
Have you ever thought of writing a book?

Haha...sure. I can fill up my book with all my wisdom when it comes to women and my 22 years of marriage...here is an example:
Okay...maybe I don't have it figured out but I do get to watch my sports. As a last resort, you can do the Apocalypse Now! con. Start a fight, leave a note, and go to the hotel with great WIFI for the weekend:
There's always, "I'm going to be downstairs ironing some shirts" That like almost always works.
Charlie don't surf.Haha...sure. I can fill up my book with all my wisdom when it comes to women and my 22 years of marriage...here is an example:

Aimlessly shopping with a woman is absolutely horrible. Pretty much shopping in general blows.
And the absolute last resort is to tell her that "everything she provides, you can pay someone else to do"
I recommend only using this if you have been married a long time....
Nah - just marry the first woman who buys you Hawkeye season tickets for Christmas.
How about, Honey I am having real bad diarea. I don't want to be too far from a toilet.
Over the years my wife learned to love it. We are a wrestling family and she's usually right next to me on wrestling weekends. She'll be the loudest mouth in CHA during Sammy Brooks' matches.
She missed it while at the concession stand but she will get pretty loud during his next match.
My wife's birthday is April 10. How to convince her that IA City is THE place to be and somehow work the Olympic Trials into the conversation?????
The 2nd session took a lot of anticipation out of my tommorrow, but I'll be dragging my old butt to Carver and watching with with my son.
Wouldn't trade my wife for anything in the world, but she has less than zero interest in wrestling. Papa Bear, you are one very lucky cat.
Nah.
Sec K row 31 seats 1 & 2.
When we stood to applaud Sammy's tile win we did get the stink-eye from a few Gopher fans that didn't know the connection.
Can we program in an autodelete feature on phrases like this? This should never appear in a wrestling forum.
BTW, apart from a few knuckleheads that booed Nico when he got his medal, Iowa fans applauded lots of kids from rival schools on the medal stand. Rivalries are fun, good for the sport, and all, but most Iowa fans appreciate good wrestling when they see it and applaud it accordingly.
