- I don't want to go all 80's sitcom material here, but why in the hell do women ask "their man" their opinion on which dress/shoe/earring/fur scarf/kerchief/how to wear their hair/shade of eye color/etc??????
The other day my wife asked me about which earring she should wear with some sort of outfit for our once-a-season-date-night. After years of answering these questions genuinely - only to have her select the opposite of my choice - I decided not to even look at the items in question this time.
I flatly said, "one on your left" without even looking. She came back 5 minutes later explaining why she chose the opposite of what I said. She was so sweet. Apologetic almost. When I told her it was fine because I didn't even look, she stormed off, offended.
She came back in with the original earrings I had selected in the first place. I suppose that when she knew I didn't make an informed decision, that was good enough for her to select what she truly wanted - even if it matched my tasteless selection. Good grief.
- My favorite terms for "moving quickly":
1. "Hauling ass"
2. "Mo-docking"
3. "Sh-ttin' it and gittin' it"
4. "Raring to go, but can't go for raring" <-- especially if they stumble or fall
5. ??? Open to suggestions
- Sometimes a nice nacho bar is all it takes.
- One of the weirdest quirks for this generation of kids is they find cash irritating. They don't carry it and they don't want it.
My 17 year old daughter rolls her eyes if I give her cash to pay for something. She leaves cash tips from work (don't go there, you guys) in a paper sack that sometimes is left out on the kitchen table.
There are random 5 dollar bills and one dollar bills laying all over the house. I guess I've got my own tax refund by picking up her irritating spare change. Ridiculous.
- Now that the SEC has exclusive broadcasting rights through ESPN and Disney, the conference is getting all of the hype. I know our basketball conference is loaded this year, but are they that loaded or is it more like Mike Patrick with the ACC in '99 levels of hype? I, for one, believe the hype. . . or as the kids say, "glaze."
- Smoked a Boston Butt overnight for the Super Bowl and couldn't have been any more disappointed. I'm not sure what I did wrong, but it was awful. Could've been a bad cut. Could've been the weather.
You would think a 12 hour smoke at 225-235 would be good enough for a medium sized butt (7.5 lbs). Nope. Came out dense and rubbery. I didn't tend to it like I should have between hour 5 and 11 but still. Those things usually cook themselves.
My ribs? Awesome. Wings? Competition worthy. The easiest piece of meat to smoke? Awful. Very pissed. Gonna do another one this weekend for redemption.
