zagnut 0 Posted February 10, 2004 (edited) So last night I'm online playing some Forgotten Battles dogfights and having a blast. Roughly 8:00 pm, my fiance` walks in and says something like, "Babe, why don't we go watch some tv together?" I tell her that I'm in the middle of a BIG furball, that I wanted to take on this one guy, and after I beat him I'd be in the living room in about 5 minutes or so... She then turns her voice up about 100 octaves and says, "You MEN and your F*cking PENISES! When does it STOP!?!?!?" Needless to say, I was truly shocked about that whole thing, I mean, I'm not the kind of guy that goes drag racing in my souped-up race car/truck whatever. Nor, do I get into barfights over stupid arguements and the like. Yet, I feel the NEED to wipe the floor with this one guy in a virtual dogfight particularly because he'd been giving me a hard time since I signed on to that one game. I could have disconeccted and went elsewhere, but no I had to stay and prove my man-ness or whatever anyone calls it. To put a cap on this story, I did indeed wipe the floor with his guts, and the game went into sudden death, (instead of 5 minutes, it went for another hour). The score was 6 to 2! YEAH! I KICKED HIS BUTT! w00t. I guess the question of the story and whatnot is; "When will our manly ego's stop coming in to the room with us when some certain competition arises?" The answer: It's never gonna happen folks. Our Weiners are attached to us, and we will take them wherever we damn well please. We just need to choose our battles wisely, and sometime run aways to fight another day. I thought about that and laid it down to my Fiance`, but she didn't understand. I explained that WARS HAVE STARTED over things like who's got a bigger winky. (Nutshell history class) She didn't understand. So I explained further, that if we (men) didn't have that type of spirit so "related" to our manhood, then Chuck Yeager never would've broken the sound barrier and Doolittle never would've bombed Tokyo. I think I sortof got through with that analogy. So now, I'll just kick back and celebrate my sweet victory with some coffie, and bang my head to Led Zepplin's 'Immigrant Song'. W00t. For all men in the world. -fin Edited February 10, 2004 by zagnut Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
navychief 1 Posted February 10, 2004 That's ok; I can relate to the situation. My wife gets more than a little angry at me for spending so much time, playing flight simulator. The thing is, I could be involved with a lot of worse things on the computer, i.e. chat rooms, porn, etc....; but I'm not. Of course she is convinced that I am doing just that. And so, the battle goes on. Navy Chief Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SDirickson 0 Posted February 10, 2004 PG, one thing I've learned when dealin with the 'rents. Any time they ask a question like, "Why didn't you ______" just say, "Sir/Maam, no excuse, sir/maam." Repeat as necessary. They can't argue with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dagger 21 Posted February 10, 2004 wives,girl friends and most anybody that doesn't sit as a"keyboard cowboy"can't understand the mind set...we are virtual warriors,and I have seen women in a game that have that same competitive fire,I learned along time ago that I suffer from periods of selective hearing loss and usually that will take care of it..oh yeah remember to say"what did you say"alot..seems to help set up the selective hearing loss excuse.

firehawkordy 34 Posted February 12, 2004 This is an age old battle.Remember when .. before PC's it was cars? After I traded my T-bird in for an 5speed Eclipse,my girl at the time told me my car was an extension of my penis. At least I don't wear a big watch.
