That is funny. I get sh*t all the time from my SO b/c she always the only one home when my packages arrive. I started to get stuff shipped to my office instead, but the people at my office started giving me flack for getting various packages multiple times a week. Plus I work in a government building so there are various security issues with receiving packages daily. I am thinking of getting a PO box... By the way, tennis players get some damn good looking tail. You should let your son play

ok, lets forget about the tennis issue, please, people. that's not important. and, just like I let my son play with a nentendo, I will let him play tennis if he should ask. but I am not encouraging him. I encourage him to play team sports (because we can all learn from team sports) and sports that involve violence, because they build character.

and the hat was a persian lamb ambassidor

my SO gives me hell all the time. several years ago, it was shoes. i had shoes lying all over the place..she did not know what was coming or going, what i was keeping or what was being sold. she went crazy.

then it was jeans. we had jeans all over the place. (still do).

now it is suits. she is not too upset this time because at least she likes suits and dont mind this gig this time around.

Doubles tennis is a 'team' sport and you can make tennis very violent too - I'd encourage him to play. Please stop crushing his dreams...

Whether you want to take child-rearing advice from someone named Ascot McPocketsqure is your business....how bout some pics of the hat? As to the original question, I try to ignore my wife when she rolls her eyes about my clothing habit. I just tell her it keeps my disposable income from being spent on strippers.

tennis is a rather fun sport, very competitive...

my so gives me lots of crap about not washing jeans, being too picky, i took the fun out of shopping for her, etc...
i think i need to buy her more stuff so she doesn't mind me buying so much!

For God's sake, globetrotter, let your son play tennis.

How else will he learn how to say, "Tennis, anyone?"

In the same way that polo had its origins in fielding a carcass of a sheep or goat, tennis has its origins before rubber balls when the game was played with kitten heads.

You really had to whack the ball to get any bounce. It was brawny. It was bloody. It was inhumane.

yeah, I would seriously not encourage my son to be wacking kitten heads around, although I think it may build character, I'd have to check.
