My wife is AWESOME!, i.e. my surprise Depeche Mode concert

[StupidSmurf]

That is totally sweet, JD. You've got yourself a good woman!!!

It makes me wish I could post about the Christmas surprise that I've got planned for The Universe so that you could all marvel at the wonders of a nerd-tastic wife... but, he'll read it so I can't. *grins*

Fascinating, QD....my wife's bought me something for Christmas that apparently is:

a. Artistic
b. Functional
c. Blatantly Lovecraftian

All that she'll say is that she wants to make sure the digital camera is handy to capture my expression when I see it!

Rel and JD:
Having a spouse that "gets it" is indeed a rare and wonderful thing. Mrs Smurf and I have that and it's mind-blastingly terrific. It's particularly cool when our mutually "getting it" extends beyond our game-geek mindset, to other areas of interest. One incident where apparently I sealed my "coolness" in her opinion was when she uttered the words:

"The Rat!!!"

....to which I responded "Twannnngggg!" Her face lit up with amazement, and she was impressed, since she didn't think anyone else ever heard the "song" on Doctor Demento! It's little things like that which makes life fun and interesting!

She made me a pair of very realistic eyeballs, complete with viscera, for me to use as props at a Call of Cthulhu tournament at a local con. When I was RPing an NPC professor going made, I "tore" my eyes out and flung them on the gaming table.

Gotta be lingere.

All I can say is I'm glad I didn't have my Diet Coke can raised to my lips when I read this. Egad, I think you broke me!!!!

I can see it now... R'lyengerie, concealing the Secrets Man Was Not Meant To Know. Now available with the Gnarly Mask of Hotep!

As a joke, my wife picked up some camo lingerie. That comes in really handy when we want to sneak out and have sex in the woods. Assuming it's a warm night, anyway.

"Hey Joshie Dear, go get the shotgun and the Pabst Blue Ribbon, I got the camo on tonight"

 

[Desdichado]

Naw, the Shiner Bock.

And sex in the back of the Dually, lit up by the light rack, with classic George Strait songs blaring in the speakers; really what more could a good old Texas boy like me want out of life?

Make sure she doesn't drop them on the ground when they come off or you'll never find them! Reminds me of an old comedy skit I heard one time:

Comic: "Is that a camo wallet you've got there?"

Redneck: "Yep!"

Comic: "Why?"

Redneck: "I HUNT!"

Comic: "If you ever drop that thing in the woods, you're gonna be huntin'!"



Also, remind me to tell you the "Caught in the Act by Deer" story sometime.

 

[Desdichado]

Hey, Rel, tell us the "Caught in the Act by Deer" story.

 

[the black knight]

Saw them in '83 or '84... Construction Time Again tour? Can't remember. Hell of a good show, though. Would like to have seen them in a bigger venue later on, but whaddya gonna do.

 

[stevelabny]

I saw them at MSG prbably a dozen years ago or so.

Was completely unimpressed.

The main problem was that they did about 90 minutes. Even though they have more albums than almost anyone. And its not like they play instruments or something.

Of course, I'm spoiled by the 3 hour + sets of Metallica and Guns N' Roses (thats 3 hours AFTER axl showed up) and more importantly the concert at Giant Stadium with BOTH of them.

At least that was worth the price of the ticket.
