The wife doesn't surf WAB too much now does she?

Ok, good husband and father went and patch up the hole. Tape it up and put a fresh coat of drywall mud on it and sand it back down. Good husband and father got out the old paint chips that we (read she) decided to paint it on.

Ok, good husband and father got an extremely simple solution. I'll just paint the room white.

Good husband and father is apparently an idiot. White somehow ain't a colour.

I have a very simple solution to get back into her grace. Ask her what color she wants. Then go out and buy them. And follow my instructions very carefully.

1. Buy several cans of paint
2. Carry the paint cans to the house
3. Pretend you are tripping over something that your wife left out
4. After you fall, stay on the ground. Pretend that you are groaning with back pain. Do this when your wife can see you.
5. Keep on the groaning but continue to carry the paint cans.
6. When you pry the cans open, groan but not too much. Just grimace as you are trying to hide the pain.
7. Paint for a couple minutes. Groan and repeat the whole step.
8. After 15 minutes, then fall to the ground and yell out, "arrgghh" as like you have thrown your back out. Do this quick and loud.
9. WHen your wife comes running to you, say, "I am really sorry I threw out my back while trying to paint the color that you wanted. My back is just busted up from painting twice."
10. This is very important, the most important. If need be, practice before you do it. Put on your most pitiful face such as the puppy look. Look into her eyes and give her the puppy look. Do not let her look away. Continue to do this until she wells up in shame or takes pity on you.
11. Let her do the work.
12. Enjoy the show while you are sipping some hot mocoa or coffee what ever float your boat.

I shall be expecting a debriefing.

You're not married, are you.




Oh, and OoE? "Yes dear"

To return to topic. Venice, not just because of it's astounding architecture and art, lots of places have those, but because it combines those with a background sense of decay and evil. You can be awed in Venice, but never relaxed.

[ProzacNation]

I was looking for Venice, too, Florence also.

I didn't think I was qualified to vote in this poll, since I haven't been to every one of those cities. It'd be hard for me to decide even then, it'd come down to the history of the city in most cases.

Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Oberbayern.

You have to see it to believe it.

Nope not by a long shot.

[Officer of Engineers]

Well, Hitesh, it doesn't work. You'll just be called a cry baby ... and I am not about to let her use my power tools. They're one of the few things in the house that is still mine and mine alone.

That means you didn't do it right. Use one of your war wounds. You might as well enjoy the benefits of being a grissly war veteran.

[bigross86]

Since when are paintbrushes considered power tools?

[Officer of Engineers]

Come On, Ross, paint brushes? No real man uses paint brushes. It's a paint sprayer.

Col Sir, I remember you describing your stay with your wife in a suite when you visited some holiday destination, can't remember the name of the place but the night club had a bunch of fagotts.....

[Officer of Engineers]

Typical marital spat. I just could not believe a simple hole in the wall is leading to redoing the entire room. New paint. New curtains. New furniture.

Boxcar, Why The Hell Didn't You Warn Me!!!!
