Cruel Wife and Lemurita are out camping on one of those “wimmin only” outings so it is just myself and HackerBoy.
We got a large pizza last night – I ate half and he ate all of the other half minus one slice.
He taught me how to play Skylander™. He’s too nice of a kid to say it to me but I know he’s come to the conclusion that I suck. I know this because we met with Spaced Diode today and he said “Dad sucks at Skylander™”.
Ouch.
HackerBoy suggested on the way home that he maybe he ought to teach me “Lego Indiana Jones” because it is easier. Double-ouch. My son thinks that as far as video games go I’m on par with a retarded puppy.
Tonight, corn dog bites, tater tots, and chocolate pudding. Man food.
What? No ghost peppers? No seltzer water for belching contests? No popcorn to toss in the air to catch with your mouth?
I don’t wish to classify this as a fail, but…
Night #2 we had three corn dogs each and as many onion rings as we could cram down.
Not a FAIL.
We had Skinny Cow ice cream desserts and second helpings of 7-up. And belched.
Well, ok….though I have my doubts with this Skinny Cow stuff.
Late reply, still recovering from said Girl-weekend, but the Skinny Cow stuff was my fault. I had 3 dollars left to use on a quarterly cash-back reward, and they were the only ice cream bars that looked like they were worth eating…unless I was willing to fork out a lot more money for a half gallon instead. (We all know that food on a stick is better than food in a bowl, especially for a manly weekend!)
Oh! Well, THAT makes a difference
Need grilled cheese and bacon sandwiches.
Excellent idea. Next time, definitely. With extra grilled onions. And chili on top.
Ah, the very distinctive common thread of man food – eligible for frying or delivered in cardboard boxes.
No microwaved pizza-rolls? I saw no pizza-rolls in that diet?
Kraft Dinner?
Chili-mac?
Hmmmm….
See response to Aggie above. We ate manly. I shaved a few years off of my lifespan.
As usual, I spoke too soon. So long as years were shaved and eructations produced, then everything is OK. He’ll grow to be a fine man!
And a grand time was had by all involved. No wimmen were insulted, disasters were cleaned up prior to their return, and the world kept rotating at its standard pace. All in all, sounds like an excellent male bonding experience.
