Tell him there will be cycling socks involved and your chances of him showing will likely jump exponentially.

Throw in a Yeti sticker for his new Lopifit and you'll have him on lock.

Most terrifying words in the world: when my wife says "I have an idea..."

I thought it was "Can I ask you a question?"

 

"we need to talk"

These are all forboding.

My wife just happens to come up with neat ideas more often than she says those other phrases.

And those ideas are guaranteed to occupy, at a minimum, an afternoon of my time, cost boatloads, or both.

I, for one, am SHOCKED there are people in this world who might suggest people jumping into second marriages are out of their ####ing gourds.

Wife 2.0 is absolutely an amazing woman but she is, still, you know, a woman.

And the few real issues we do have all stem from my baggage from having picked an absolutely horrible spouse the first time around.

I'm happy for you, gb.  Not sure why you feel you need to address a completely generic statement that could have applied to anybody who made such a decision.

The timing seemed at least coincidental.

Is Furley on his second marriage?

And actually I have people that take care of the planning when they are. Should have delegated this to PR chick.

 

Personally, I'm not a big fan of overthinking things. In honor of our guest from out of town, I think we should pick an Austin classic rather than some obscure east side spot that I would normally pick like Shangri-La or the Brixton.

So, let's cornhole Monday at 7 pm at the bar at The Driskill. Classic Austin scene, good drinks and easy access to any number of other restaurants or locations.

Hey ####o, you can suggest locations only if you're attending. No full bar at Mean Eyed Cat.

Just checked the menu at the Driskill Grill.  No boneless wings.  Lame.

No such thing. Boneless wings are just chicken tenders dipped in sauce.

Judge Smails' Lendendary 300 ingredient recipe, I presume.

[mr. furley 12,766]

"device agnostic"

[tommyboy 4,629]

Try lamb, pork and beef 

Want it to taste even more savory? Dash in some fish sauce to the mix.

No standard Lambskin recipe using ground beef and spicy sausages.  And lots of kidney beans

[mr. furley 12,766]

sitting on the family couch Friday night. wife, me and the youngest. oldest was at a sleepover.

my 5 year old looks at me:  "dad! there's a bird in the house!!!  LOOK AT THE CAAAAAAAAAAAATS!!"

my wife:  uh, can you go... check on that "bird"?  (pulls a blanket over her and the kid)

me: i didn't see anything

meanwhile the cats are bouncing up and down, chattering and trying to catch the "bird". 

 

i wandered in to the kitchen. cats are on the counter looking up on top of our cabinets and sure enough, it's a ####### bat.

 

so i did what any responsible parent would do. put the kid on the steps upstairs, shut the door, opened the front door of the house and waited outside until that mother####er evacuated the premises.
