No, I don’t mean the movie, although it was a great flick.
Instead I am referring to the results of the wonderful propaganda campaign arguments given by concerned readers to estrogen tyrant Cruel Wife in an attempt to give me my very own copy of Duke Nukem: Balls of Steel collector’s edition. I’m on a misogynist scatological juvenile wet-dream Duke Nukem high.
Yes, it is $35 more. But a BUST OF THE DUKE, man! CW said “What comes with BoSE that you want so much?”
I was horribly frustrated. Are we so out of sync that she couldn’t see the obvious?
I wrote:
What do I want so much??? Did you look at the picture? Did you listen when I described what came with it? (I was frothy by now)
It’s got a bust of Duke! It has Duke Nukem dice! It has radioactivity bumper stickers! A collector’s comic book! Duke Nukem poker chips! Duke Nukem postcards! Duke Nukem art book! It even has it’s own serialized Proof of Duke Nukem Officialness certificate!
She didn’t understand it, but she relented agreed to it this evening.
This is a triumph. I’m making a note here: Huge Success. It’s hard to overstate my satisfaction. At LemurKing’sFolly, we do what we must, because we can.
ID10T Killer at work is getting one, too, so it only makes sense that I should be allowed to more fully share common experiences with co-workers/friends, right? Delivery on June 14, of 2011.

Man says he is robbed by woman with “real big thighs”. God what a storytelling.
****
Honest truth? We should all be allowed to go in a cool way like this – saving the life of someone that means everything to us. Good on you, Don Lansaw. And so sorry for your loss, Bethany Lansaw. Your fella was a true hero, one you can be proud of.
****
More later.
Are you getting xbox or pc?
Oh, and congrats! on the victory. Although she’ll probably make you pay the difference in other coinage.
PC.
Oh I’ll pay. Oh how I’ll play. But indulge me my little self-delusions and denials.
I was once (well, twice) robbed by a woman with big thunder-thighs my freshman year at college.
She took my young dignity.
And it wasn’t too bad at all, at all!
Congrats on the Duke N’em purchase! I knew CW would be merciful.
You’ve heard the joke about what do fat chicks and mopeds have in common?
If not, in true Duke Nukem un-PC style:
Q: What do fat chicks and mopeds have in common?
A: They’re both fun to ride but you wouldn’t want your friends seeing you doing it.
Yes, wimmenfolk out there, that was a totally uncalled for and awful joke but it was part illustrative lesson – a proof if you will, of the axiom that “All men are pigs.”
Even worse than your joke is when your buddy, who only owns a motorcycle, continually borrows your car to take his “girlfriends” home… Otherwise, as small as he was, the two of them would still exceed the GVW for the motorcycle.
Congrats on your victory. I assume that starting on June 14th, there’ll be a gap of about a week or so where you won’t be posting due to taking the Duke on a whirlwind of adventure.
Dan Lansaw is a hero in the true sense of the word. Would that kids today would pick men like that as their heroes instead of the vapid and amoral celebrities referred to as heroes today. Gah.
I really will try to keep plugged in, Curtal.
The honest truth is that my FPS tactics over the years have turned into just that, tactics, rather than pound and mash keys because I’m just not as fast as I once was. I generally go for games that are about stealth and head-shots rather than pure adrenaline, but this is THE DUKE, man!
Just because CW says “Do what you want” does not necessarily mean do what you want. Word from the wise.
Congrats on your win, though.
She hasn’t actually resisted at all. I’m having fun with the topic. Really she was just trying to understand what was so enticing. We certainly never had a battle or words over the purchase.
Sounds you and CW do the same as my Wife and I do. I want a new iPad and she puts up token resistance. She knows I really want it, but just checks my commitment level.
Yep, mrmacs, it really is just for form’s sake.
Like a dog-n-cat chase in the deep south on a hot muggy day. They *mosey* across the street going “Meow. Woof.” and sounding about as excitable as Droopy. But you gotta go through the motions anyway.
It’s really scary, but I’ve seen the dog/cat sl
Blasted phone, hit the wrong button.
It’s really scary, but I’ve seen the slow-motion cat/dog chase for real. It’s a hoot.
And Droopy is one of my heroes.
Teasing/tormenting each other is part of the fun of being really in love/married.
Congrats on the win, LK.
I was late to the other thread, so my comment as to why CW should buy it for you went thusly:
“CW, let LK purchase Duke Nukem: Balls of Steel, because it is painfully obvious he doesn’t have any.” 😉
Ow. Dammit, ow.
Ok, I’ll bite… Why is it painfully obvious I am ball-less?
I suppose I had it coming after all but calling you a doddering depends-dependent octegenarian over at Curtal’s. For which I am totally ashamed, by the way.
Really was a good slam there, Aggie. *tips hat, bows slightly*
LK has cajones to spare, Aggie. He’s just spent the last 8 years living extremely frugally, so spending money frivolously on himself doesn’t come naturally. I practically had to force him to order the leather duster yesterday. He has a very hard time spending any kind of money on himself.
Anyway, I would think having actual balls of steel would be rather problematic. Clanging whenever you get in and out of the vehicle, trying to sit and work at a computer station, riding a motorcycle, ye gads. I cringe at the thought. It would be especially difficult to explain while going through the metal detector at the airport.
Not to mention in Michigan winter, “freezing your ‘nads off” would take on a whole different meaning.
And yes, I got the duster at CW’s insistence.
And then felt really guilty about it just to make sure that all hope of joy had been thoroughly crushed.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Y’all are too funny 😀
CW, I am living your life, sans the scientifical stuff. I have to hold Hubby at knife-point in order to get him to purchase anything for himself. Seriously! As he was getting ready to deploy, he figured out that he needed a laptop to take with him. Thank goodness I have my blade with me at all times. It’s very persuasive.
As to the so-called ‘slam’ over at CF’s, that was hilarious, and I surely didn’t take offense at all. In fact, I will start telling folks I’m 56 from now on, because I look AWESOME for 56 😉
But don’t you look even more beawesomererer for 73?
Oh, I smell a post topic coming on.
73??
I am a GODDESS for 73 😀
